: Share; Cupcake Social 2.0 spreads the sugar

ADOTAS — Thursday night was rainy. It was dark and wet and a night most people avoid going out. Yet upon walking into The Delancey and the Cupcake Social 2.0 you wouldn’t know that was the case. There was a sizeable group and an array of pastels from the free cupcakes being handed out. Media and technology professionals socialized over tangy drinks and tasty snacks and not a sweet-tooth went unsatisfied.

A very interesting addition to the event was the creators of MakerBots and the Cupcake CNC, a robot that custom frosts your cupcake. Not only does the robot frost your cupcake, but it does so in any shape you’d like. The technology works by taking an image and analyzing it three dimensionally. Then the machine makes a 3-D replica of that image out of frosting. Who knew even cupcakes would become so high-tech!

Right now, at the beginning of 2012, what are you watching the most closely for its ad and marketing opportunities?
Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.

Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.

Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.

Tempting as it might be, I don't want to get too involved in one aspect.

See, I think this might be a good time to see what would happen if we revisited MySpace, but made the ads slightly bigger... with more strobe effect.
