Google Suffers, the Apocalypse is Coming

You know you've made it big when you're mentioned twice in the movie Twilight, and by this, I'm talking about Google. It's the one and only search engine, as far as America is concerned.

I'm not usually a huge endorser of large corporations, but Google truly is GOD. Think about it... how else would a pacific northwest teenager find out her crush is a vampire?!? We don't 'Yahoo!' searches or 'AOL' them... we google. Googled. Googling.

Besides a simple search bar, Google has changed our lives with:

• Google Earth - We've all zoomed in on our houses or secretly stalked others...
  
• Google Analytics - I'm hoping you are a unique visitor, please return :)
  
• Google Maps - What's MapQuest?
  
• Gmail, GChat - Best way to communicate in class or at work, I swear I'm checking my email!
  

It's nothing but a G-thang... but now, our dear God Google is laying off about 200 employees globally in their sales and marketing departments.

WHAT? Google is trimming the fat also? The recession truly is ruthless, it knows no boundaries. And this time it's gone to far, vampires and humans alike must unite to fight this evil force we call economic recession...

OMFG, Bluefly you are too damn good.

Being an advertising enthusiast, I can spot product placement as quickly and easily as breathing. It's always been a problem, because I can never actually concentrate on the show and instead think to myself: Jenny Humphrey are you really coincidently surfing the Bluefly website on my favorite show 'Gossip Girl' and really suggesting to buy your brother Dan Humphrey new clothes from the website. 

BLUEFLY you sneaky bastard... how much did you pay to partner with the show OR actually how much amazing free clothes are you giving the show?

Gossip Girl + Bluefly = match made in heaven for every UES wannabe.  Barneys and Bergdorfs watch out because there's another 'B' in town.

The most genius part of Bluefly's road to dominance is its online initiative.  Bluefly has changed its site to feature it's GOSSIP GIRL-CENTRIC theme... where you can shop your favorite character's clothes:

And OMFG, now all of us girls can dress our boyfriends like the one and only CHUCK BASS:

Sweater vests, pastel polos, and quilted plaids... I am happy to see the hipster-i'm-growing-my-beard-out-like-jesus look fade away.

Until tomorrow...
