Agency Goes Drudge With New Website

More and more agencies are realizing that multi-windowed Flashturbation sites are a thing of the past. For good reason. They are useless when it comes to SEO and the simple fact a mistaken click of the browser back button blows you off the site makes them intensely aggravating.

Two years ago, Boston’s Hill Holliday adopted a blog-style website. Many other agencies have followed including, recently, the Barbarian Group which, this week, launched a new site repelet with employee blogs and a continuous stream of content.

Today, New York agency Undercurrent relaunched their site New York Post/Drudge-style with Born Digital Daily. The site includes Twitter feeds from employees and news pulled from Agency Spy and other sources. Why they show London weather we know not but we like the site overall. Especially the ever photogenic Julia Roy who, today graces the front page of the site. And did we (oops, I) mention we (oops again, I) *love* her glasses!

Greif and Gleason’s 1980 research on how children learn politeness routines found that young children almost never say “please” or “thank you” spontaneously, they say it because a parent prompts them with “what do you say?” dozens of times a week, meaning the reflex adults later display without thinking twice was built through years of someone else’s prompting long before it became automatic.
