Extreme skating company Roller Warehouse hopes to jump on whats left of the MySpace bandwagon with an interesting promotion. Roller Warehouse’s Rid D tells us, “We’ve created a news ticker that can be pasted within any MySpace page, and are rewarding any MySpacers who use this ticker with a 5% discount on any purchase. We think this is a great buzz-marketing effort, and we’ve already seen a significant increase in sales since implementing the program.” Reviewing any typical MySpace page, it’s clear members love their widgets so this Roller Warehouse widget would feel right at home.

The loneliest moment in a long marriage isn’t a fight or a silence. It’s when you say something that matters to you and the other person responds with a subject change so smooth you almost don’t notice they never acknowledged what you said.
