– George Parker is sick of Facebook, it’s plethora of stupid applications and the insanity of a “24 year old billionaire wanker” gets rich using people’s information without asking their permission.

– Legendary ad man George Lois makes an appearance on this week’s Studio 360, Public Radio International’s syndicated weekly show about creativity.

– TNS Media Intelligence forecasts media spend to increase 4.2 percent in 2008 with growth slower in the first half than the second. The Olympics and political spending will contribute significantly to that figure. The biggest increase (14.4 percent) will be seen in internet display advertising.

– AdWeek has named Goodby U.S. agency of the year and Wieden + Kennedy global agency of the year.
