If you’ve got a DVR, then you are in the same boat as me. You happily skip ads and watch your programming much quicker and with fewer interruptions. All that talk of creative TV commercials is lost on you. Fine, they’re really imaginative and creative. That argument and many more were part of my discussion last night on Bob Knorpp’s (@TheBeanCast) “The BeanCast,” a one hour round-table discussion with advertising and marketing pros.

Some of Facebook’s most popular services such as Photos, the “Like” button, and Video have been a result of internal hackathons. In fact, Facebook’s hackathons have become so popular for their business and the employees that they’ve become a regular part of the company development and workflow. They’re currently being produced four times every year. Employees so love hackathon development and culture at Facebook, that they participate in the weekend hackathons voluntarily, for no additional pay.
