New Online Book Promotion - Not an Arg But Arg-ish From today's Wall Street Journal, an article about a fake biotech company website that will promote the new Michael Crichton book:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB116364860104924771.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
[hopefully that will be clickable for awhile, otherwise need a registration]
Discusses this kind of advertising, worries over the 'fake' side of things, but does mention alternate reality gaming.
edit: I should provide the link for the fake biotech company site:
http://www.nextgencode.com/
I want a permapuppy

They've set up a "forum" for discussing Ethics in Genetics.

No, it's a project bv Canadian commercial artist Adam Brandejs. I was just comparing the two.

The "blog" hasn't had any new entries since Nov 2006. The MySpace page last login was 10/26/07 but probably just to check for messages (last comment left was in April).
Doesn't appear to be any new content since last year.
