Welcome to Around the Creative World.  I’m your host, 11thr.com/blog.  On this morning’s episode, I’ll bring you news about advertising, marketing, social media and technology.  But mostly, it will be entertaining video and funny commercials I’ve found online.

• YouTube is finally earning ad dollars.  I bet the founders wish they didn’t sell it now… Just kidding.
• Top 10 Reasons Your Company Probably Shouldn’t Tweet.  (I’m surprised number one on the list isn’t, “Because it’s called ‘Tweeting.’”
• TOMS shoes goes more mainstream thanks to an AT&T ad.
• Want to see a French version of 8 Mile that advertises Stella Artois?  OK.  Don’t watch the whole thing though.  It doesn’t get better.
• Another random Gatorade ad that doesn’t suck, but isn’t really awesome either.  (This, of course, according to my prestigious Suck-Awesome Advertising Rankings.)
• Seriously, where is a Dave & Buster’s?  Oh…and here’s a new ad, with little people, that weirds me out because of the assumptions it makes about it’s audience.
• Skype founders want Skype back.
• Twitter worm continues to attack.
• Why FriendFeed could become Facebook.  (If you are into that sort of thing.)
• In honor of Easter (yesterday), TechCrunch discusses some of their favorite “Easter eggs.”
• Be careful, folks.  Your folks may be on Facebook now.  It’s scary.
• Big time advertising people support “One Laptop Per Child.”
• In honor of The Masters (yesterday), here is a random Ping ad in which pro golfer Hunter Mahan signs a bunch of autographs for a weirdo.
