Last Saturday morning, everyone in the blogosphere woke up to the news that MSNBC had purchased advertising on 800 blogs. This was the largest single blogad buy in history. The promotion is for a special day of TV programming taking place on Wednesday, December 14th.
The Wi-Fi Toys site was included on the ad buy, you can see the snazzy neon graphic under our "Sponsors" heading.
Although MSNBC's intent in purchasing the blogads was to gain TV viewers, most of the press around "Digital Day" has been about the massive blogad buy and not about the content of the shows. To help raise awareness of the topics being covered on December 14th, MSNBC has put together a special video teaser tape for Digital Day in iPod and Sony PSP video formats. It starts with "I'm Keith Oberman. Thanks for downloading me." (snigger!)
The subjects being covered on Digital Day range from viral internet videos and the So. Cal. pr0n industry to more serious topics like Internet addiction... (Is one addicted when it becomes a way of life?)
You can download the MSNBC "Digital Day" Teaser in iPod or PSP MP4 format via the popup-infested links below:

It's like the Internet(s) but on TV.
