Watch out Amsterdam, the Bloggers are Coming!
05:00 PM Feb 13, 2006
Blogads.com and Holland.com are web 2.0 ready! They've selected 25 bloggers of varying pop-culture appeal to participate in Bloggers in Amsterdam '06. The progressive blogging community will be represented by the likes of AMERICAblog and TalkLeft.
No
blogging about the trip will be required--but in exchange each blogger
will be interviewed about the trip (the Dutch Tourism Board may be
using this for online/offline promotions), give Holland.com one month
of premium adspace, and put the "Bloggers in Amsterdam" logo in their
nav bar for one year. The mantra here is transparency. In exchange,
bloggers get a free roundtrip flight, a 5 night complementary stay in a
posh Amsterdam hotel and an I amsterdam Card.
Of course, they DO hope that the bloggers write about Amsterdam, probably especially Pink is the New Blog, one of the lucky 25.
It's either ingenious or a ill-fated publicity stunt. Either way, where's my ticket?
