Donut Guy and Future Affiliate Marketing Plans

I had to call in sick for Affiliate Thing this week, and Sam Harrelson subbed for me. Sam and Lisa Picarille welcomed Greg Hoffman, Affiliate Network Director at Think Partnership aka the Donut Guy.

They chatted with Greg about his creative method for getting noticed (he sent donuts to the person hiring for his position) and if he plans to bring that level of creativity to dealing with affiliates.

Thank you to Greg for sending a special shipment of Krispy Kremes my way before the show. Unfortunately, I was on a stomach flu diet of Gatorade yesterday, so I could only look at them.

Sam and Lisa also touched on the class action lawsuit filed by affiliates and merchants against Commission Junction, Be free and ValueClick, how Google is getting creepy, the Apple iPhone, and new eBay programs.
