Over the past few months Digiday has been exploring Web culture in relation to the digital media industry through fun side projects like our Shit Henry Thinks Tumblr and The Digiday Dictionary. The idea is finding a way to relate the worlds of agency, publishers and advertisers to current trends in how content is shared. It’s also meant to be a bit of fun. Life can’t be all homework.
In order to make it easier to find and stay on top of all that latest fun stuff we are doing, we have started a new section called Etc. This is where you can go to see what Ad Tech Ryan Gosling is saying, the latest WTF Digital Marketing moments and to find posts like “The 10 Most Stereotypical Ad:tech Photos.” We have other fun projects planned. As always, we’d love to hear from you on what you like and what you don’t.
