While I was reading the FT today, there was an article talking about DIY marketing -- companies like Walmart that recently launched a website The Hub (School Your Way) which bascially is a contest asking people to put together contents using video, music, blog, etc to do internet branding-- i.e. consumer generated advertising.

And flickr did it in a more creative way since it uses it's downtime and turned something that was supposed to be bad to help buidling up its brand.

Hum... marketing...
