Spin Thicket

Spin Thicket is a new site launched by Idea Grove that is styled after sites like Fark.com and Fazed.net. The focus of Spin Thicket are topics like advertising, marketing, media and politics. Some of the link categories include Cool Campaign, PR Nightmare, Blatant Propaganda, Bad Pitch and Politics As Usual. The launch post was posted on the Media Orchard blog.

Spin Thicket, as should be apparent, is patterned after one of my favorite Web sites, Fark.com, along with similar sites like Fazed.net and others. The difference is that it's specifically geared to people with an interest in the image-making professions -- advertising, PR, marketing, journalism, and politics.

Spin Thicket has no agenda. It's as much for people who read PR Watch as PR Week. It's as much for fans (or haters) of Michelle Malkin as Kos. It's as much for people who see bias in the NY Times as Fox News. Throw it all in the wash and turn on the spin cycle; that's the idea behind Spin Thicket.
