trying to figure out how much tease is too much
i think the opening to this story is a good one, if you don't know about "lonlygirl" it tells you where to find it, youtube, and makes you really wonder if it was real, or made up.
"its about getting people intrigued with something that isn't just advertising and selling something," Mr. Benson said. For a tease to work, it's got to really get the audience to ask questions."
this is something we do without even thinking about, we see tons of commercials, billboards, magazine ads, flyers, etc, everyday and we think why is this better than the other, or why would i want this? The better the ad the more you like the product even without seeing it.

Interesting story, Whitney! It's hard to keep up with the internet, but I think it's important because I think that's more and more where the jobs are going to be in the future.
I'll give you the same "free advice" I'm going your classmates: Why don't you practice sending a link to the blog? Either by using the toolbar over the comments field or doing it in HTML and using the bracket a href=" etc. tag. (I'm not typing in the brackets here, BTW, because I don't want to confuse the poor computer.) But the main thing is you're posting. Glad to see it!
