bloggers steps the marketing monster nicely

DISCLOSURE: This post is part of my sponsorship arrangement with Marqui. I am being paid US$800 per month for 3 months, to post once a week about Marqui.

It's that time of the week again, when I give my thanks to Marqui for sponsoring my blog for 3 months. Thanks! Anyway I thought I'd have a little fun with it this week and continue with the cut-up/remix theme I experimented with yesterday. I did a cut-up of recent Marqui coverage on blogs, using this method:

1) I'm subscribed to a PubSub search for the word "marqui". Using my Bloglines aggregator, I requested the last 48 hours worth of results from that feed (about 7,300 words).
2) I then ran it through the Grazulis Cut-up Machine 10 times, using the "random" setting.
3) Lastly, I condensed it to 100 words using Microsoft Word's nifty AutoSummarize feature.

The result was this, which came out rather poetic...

p.s. I think this 'blog for dollars' program is working out very well for Marqui, no matter what the bloggers actually write. Which is to say - the coverage Marqui is getting from this program is more important to its success than the words being written about them.
