<p><font size="-3" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">2006 looks to be a great year as Adholes continues to bring the advertising industry in-depth coverage of the trends, leaders and companies that shape its future–and new features and tools as well. </font></p>
<p><font size="-3" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">Our newest offering is what we're calling a "<a href="http://www.adholes.com/postings/cc8db5af86409d2496214aca581bfc09">Blogworking Interview</a>." We find someone who is doing great things in advertising, marketing and technology, and instead of coming up with a bunch of questions over beers at the local pub, we turn over the hard journalistic duties to you the readers. </font><font size="-3" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">Starting with our first victim, uh, I mean interviewee, Blake Ross.</font></p>
<p><font size="-3" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">If you don't know already, Blake founded Firefox and continues to break new ground with open source software, and its viral marketing. So think long and hard at what you'd want to ask him, and post it as a comment on<a href="http://www.adholes.com/postings/cc8db5af86409d2496214aca581bfc09"> this blog</a>. It's fitting that our first blogworking interview is, by defacto, open source. We hope you take a moment to participate. </font></p>
<p><font size="-3" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">Finally, nearly a year ago almost one hundred fifty of us gathered at a crowded club in Chelsea and shook hands for the first time. Since then, I've become close friends with many of you, kept in touch with even more, and learned from each of you. This year, with four times the number of members, I hope it's a party we won't forget anytime soon. Please <a href="http://www.adholes.com/events/b19509aa260b3ab71e6e74e9c6794805">RSVP</a> and let us know you're coming. And get your non-Adhole friends to join and RSVP as well. We can't become the hub of the ad industry without a couple of those coveted WOM-units. :) A more official invite is coming soon, and, as always, if anyone can volunteer to hand out flyers at big ad agencies, the help is always appreciated. </font></p>
<p><font size="-3" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular">Best always,<br>
