Poll: who is the best user of social networking

April 6th, 2009 joel

I guess the readers of Press and Tower weren’t in the mood for fun last week. My poll asking about your favorite E-Trade commercial was voted on by only 8 people. Oh well, I still laugh every time I play them!

A very hot topic these days on the web is the traditional media’s acceptance of social networking tools. These days reporters are using Twitter, Facebook and blogging to tear down the walls between the news consumer and the practitioner.

This week I would like your opinion on which television station you think is doing the best job of using social media.

Which Erie TV newsroom is the best at using social media (blogging, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)?

  • WSEE (62%, 18 Votes)
  • WJET/WFXP (24%, 7 Votes)
  • WICU (14%, 4 Votes)

Total Voters: 29

Poll: favorite E-Trade Baby commercial

March 30th, 2009 joel

You could say that Dennis Miller isn’t a cume audience driver in Erie. In fact, if our P&T poll is any indication, the dropping of Rush by WJET caused almost two-thirds of our respondents to listen to less Erie talk radio. About a quarter said that they are listening to the same amount, while just over 10% said they were listening more often.

This week our poll is just for fun. I have to admit that my favorite series of TV commercials on the air today are the E-Trade Baby commercials that debuted in 2008. They launched a few new ones for the Super Bowl and E-Trade has purchased a decent flight during March Madness. They are all available on E-Trade’s website: www.etrade.com/tv.

Here’s my favorite ad, like them all, created by Grey Group/New York:


What’s your’s?

  • Trading Baby (13%, 1 Votes)
  • Banking Baby (13%, 1 Votes)
  • Mobile Pro Baby (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Funny Baby (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 8
