Guias Local believes the real test in this large marketing campaign for Eminem is profit. [1]

Individuals are using it to stay close to friends and family, while marketers are using Twitter to market products. [2]

So when I was contacted for responses to his campaign for an AdAge article ultimately titled How Eminem’s Marketing Team Is Using Twitter to Build Buzz, I downplayed the Twitter angle in my response. [3]

On Eminem’s Twitter, @eminem, he’s following no one but he has 85,700 followers. [4]

Now that’s not to say that the occasional posts, 20 in total, to Eminem’s Twitter account haven’t had an impact but the real impact has come from the fact that Twitter is a hottie, everybody wants to cover her like they used to cover Paris Hilton and so Eminem’s use of Twitter has received far more coverage online reaching what I would argue is a much bigger audience than the 83,646 followers of his skimpy Twitter stream or the 40k “within just one week” that surely included nonfollowers who clicked through from other sites to a highly publicized tweet. [3]

Chris Brogan took notice of a novel promotion technique used by the person or team over at the Eminem Twitter account. [5]

Even hip hop artist Eminem is on Twitter while using it to promote Relapse, his first album in more than four years. [...] Some tweets point directly to the official website for Relapse, while others are simply random lyrics from the album. [4]

I’m definitely not a big Eminem fan but his return is a huge event, his album should do well based on such early indicators as Amazon preorders and I’m certainly trying to get my share of the action with multiple posts even as I question some of the ethics of the marketing campaign. [3]

I remember when all it took to promote an Eminem album was a battle against five wack MCs. [1]

It’s an interesting kind of digital-physical treasure hunt, where tickets were hidden in locations like mailboxes and shoes around the city. [5]

Culver City, CA (December 15, 2008) - One of last season’s most highly acclaimed and popular original drama television series comes to DVD March 3 when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment debuts Breaking Bad: The Complete First Season. [2]

Breaking Bad is an American television drama series created and produced by Vince Gilligan. [3]

Breaking Bad is a drama that airs on AMC. [4]

Set and produced in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Breaking Bad revolves around Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a struggling high school chemistry teacher with a teenage son who has cerebral palsy (RJ Mitte), and a pregnant wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn). [...] When the already tense White is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he breaks down and turns to a life of crime, and starts producing and selling methamphetamine with his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in a desire to secure his family’s financial future. [3]

Walt and Jesse attempt to cover their tracks and distance themselves from Tuco, but they soon find that business is taking a hit along with their financial situation. [5]

The series stars Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher with a handicapped child and a pregnant wife. [4]

Throughout these seven episodes, Walt takes on a hostage, a dead body, and a partner who likes to sample his own product. [6]

The series is broadcast in the United States and Canada on the cable network AMC. [3]

… with the family out of the way the show could focus more on Walt as he becomes more and more a “druglord” type. [1]

The three disc set includes all 7 episodes from the first season and will be available for $29.95 SRP. [2]

“From critical praise to strong ratings and devoted audience, Breaking Bad further reinforced AMC as a top producer of high-quality, distinctive television”, said Charlie Collier, Executive Vice President and General Manager of AMC. [3]

Despite Walt’s attempt to reconnect with the family, a suspicious Skyler keeps him at arm’s length and worries about what he’s been up to while he’s been away from the house; Jesse finds himself on the streets once again and struggles to improve his lot in life. [5]

Realizing that Krazy-8 intends to kill him the second he sets him free, Walt decides that he has no choice but to kill the dealer, which he does by pulling back on the bike lock around his neck holding him in place until he chokes to death. [3]
