Thank you for helping Spare Change become one of the Top 25 Marketing Blogs this week. The blog entered the list at #24 and I’m pleased to be among such good company. Check out the weekly list at the Viral Garden, and while you’re there, take a look around at some of Mack Collier’s other posts and perhaps discover some new marketing blogs from the list. I also get to use the spiffy new logo on my site. Such excitement!
And for the new visitors coming from the Top 25 list who might be confused about how I’m using the term “social marketing,” take a look at this post. Welcome!

Wasn’t this a skit on Saturday Night Live? (Actually, yes – video here.)
It’s never too long before the latest craze to sweep America makes its way to the UK but most would wish this one really hadn’t.
Celebrity wigs designed for babies up to nine months old and are set to hit the market, to the outrage of children’s charities.
There’s a Bob Marley style dreadlock wig, a Samuel L Jackson afro as seen in movie Pulp Fiction and a Donald Trump comb-over – perhaps for that mature look.
For the girls there’s flowing pink locks based on singer Lil’ Kim.
I hope this “US baby wig craze” is just a hoax that a British paper took a little too seriously. Has anyone seen a baby with a wig anywhere in the US? Seems like a choking/strangling hazard to me.

In the past week, my post on the Social Marketing vs. Social Marketing Showdown has been included on several blog carnivals (compilations of posts on related subjects). Yes, I am a shameless self-promoter, but I think it’s important that all marketers understand the difference between social marketing and social media marketing. Take a look at these Carnivals for the best of the blogosphere from the past week:

Am I the only female blogger who did not go to the BlogHer Conference and/or did not have any interest in going? Seems like many of the other bloggers I read (both women and men) either went or wanted to go. I just don’t see the point in going to a conference where the only thing we have in common that we are all women who blog. The whole “rejoice in the sisterhood and take back the night from the blog patriarchy” kind of thing doesn’t do much for me. I certainly don’t mean to put down those who did go, because I’m sure they got a lot out of it. It’s just not my thing. I also hate clothes shopping, the color pink and never played with Barbies. Maybe I just didn’t get the gene.

Next week I will be hosting the Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants, where our theme will be “Marketing for Nonprofits.” If you have a blog, whether or not you are a nonprofit consultant yourself, think about what advice you would give a nonprofit on how they should be marketing themselves or their issues and write a post on it. Or tell us what your nonprofit has been doing that you’d like to share. Send me the link (weinreich at social-marketing dot com) by this Friday night and I will be selecting the best seven (that’s the rules) to be posted next Monday.
This week’s Carnival, with a focus on nonprofit technology, is at N-TEN Connect (that’s the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network). Past themes have included fundraising and advice for new executive directors.
