GoDaddy gets my vote for move of the week.
Over at the Bacon's Blog this morning, Chris Thilk wrote up how we were both involved in a pretty nifty move by the folks at GoDaddy.com on Thursday. I won't steal too much of Chris' thunder, but the gist is like this - we both write at an advertising blog, AdJab, and were both interested in the company's plans for advertising during this year's Super Bowl on ABC. Turns out the company was set to have a press conference yesterday, but there wasn't a way to participate virtually. So after a phone call to Dan Siegel, GoDaddy PR guy, we heard back that a conference bridge was set up that we could call in and listen in on the conference. We got the news up shortly thereafter, and it is, as far as I can tell, the first pickup of what went down in the presser - at least through Google News it seems so.
This isn't to say that every single blog or outlet should (or can) be extended this level of extra effort in every single instance, and we don't know for sure that GoDaddy didn't end up giving the bridge number out to others who were interested in participating. But what Chris and I wanted to highlight is that without even batting an eye, Dan Siegel took it upon himself to figure out a way to accommodate us here, and hopefully our post was worth his efforts in extending the reach of his story - and that was pretty cool.
