Would you rather…

Ok, this is pathetically similar to my “preference post,” but let’s play a quick, clean game of “Would You Rather,” with the ridiculously clever twist of adding “why” to your answer. Be as honest as you feel like being. Or be funny. You choose.

Would You Rather…

  1. Be a rock star OR a movie star?
  2. Have the ability to fly OR be able to sharpen pencils with your belly button?
  3. Have the blogosphere’s most-visited and popular blog OR have the most MySpace or Facebook friends possible?
  4. Would you rather be a flawless speller OR an expert in geometry?
  5. Would you rather pen the world’s greatest novel that only a handful of people ever read OR would you rather write a shallow, trite story that takes the nation by storm?

Don’t forget to tell us why!

It’s posts like these that really propel me towards the upper echelons of influential bloggers.

What would YOU want to read about?

Let’s pretend that you worked for a company that was looking for a branding/marketing/advertising partner. Caveat: If you really are working for a company that is looking for a branding/marketing/advertising partner, please be yourself.

Imagine that you heard about an ad agency from one of your business friends or heard a representative from the agency speak at an association luncheon. You can imagine the chicken breast and steamed vegetables that were served at the luncheon if you want – it’s not necessary, but more power to you.

You type the agency name into the Google (a really good search engine) and you’re taken to the agency’s page. You’re initial impression is positive – the site is clean and the navigation seems to be logical. You click through their portfolio and then head to the About section to read more. Remember, we’re imagining here – in imagination-land it is not outside the realm of possibility that you actually read this kind of stuff.

Once you’ve landed on the About, what do you want to read there? What do you care about? What do you want to learn?

Thanks in advance for the thoughts.
