Microsoft Angles for the Favor of Procrastinators

start-procrastinating.jpg

To promote its MSN toolbar — “Jet fuel for procrastinators!” — Microsoft launched Start Procrastinating. You can either upload videos of yourself, flicking rubber bands around while putting off your creative brief, or watch three really stupid videos of a couple of dudes surf balling, folding shirts and sharpshooting.

Actually, the surf balling video’s all right.

Start Procrastinating’s no Clearification, which was appealing but a promotional flop for Microsoft. And avid procrastinators download StumbleUpon, not MSN. Sorry, champs.

Speaking of StumbleUpon, look what it found me! Free range workers. Yum.
