I’ve never been to a marketing circus before, but I’m really impressed by the effort of Nedra Kline Weinreich over at the Spare Change blog. Great url, by the way: social-marketing.com! Nedra is on a one-woman mission to increase the visibility of the Carnival of Marketing, which has not yet managed to break out into the broader marketing community online. She thinks this cross-discipline sharing of ideas could be a valuable resource for everyone working in marketing, and I totally agree.
I’m not quite sure how it works, but apparently is some sort of relay race, aka a blog stick, where the Carnival is passed on and hosted by another blog every week. A useful effort to increase visibility for marketing blogs, I must say. (Thanks for the invite, Nedra)
Check it out, and submit your posts !

A first try to introduce this concept in the Dutch language blogosphere: http://www.usarchy.com/2006/05/laten-we-een-online-marketing-blog-kermis-opzetten/.
A Carnival about on-line marketing.

Looks really cool. Too bad for the Dutch initiative I only write in English :)
