Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Adland is the Mecca for adgrunts worldwide. It's an advertising site made by the adgrunts, like you, who populate it. More than just a blog (see a short history of weblogs), Adland is also a commercial archive, forum and general gathering place for Adgrunts. Back in 1996 it started life as a humble website and in 2000 it evolved into what you see today - with user accounts, RSS feeds, forums and dated entries.
The front page news is generated by the founder Dabitch, and the core crew amigo adgrunts Claymore, Caffienegoddess and Robblink. The ad news can be adrants, ad agencies leaked internal memo's, silly ad jokes and reviews of new campaigns or interviews with those who created it. Every day members and the crew post new commercials to the website's Commercial Archive, which now has over 36,000 Quicktime commercials and a 35 year strong super bowl commercial collection.
How did AdLand begin? Dabitch has said "Well, after surfing the web in 95, and finding zeldman's ad graveyard I got inspired. AdLand was built, and the first Badland ads ended up in the shame corner on my wee non interactive (it had a basic guestbook) webpage where I ranted and raved, and I got a lot of email from other adgrunts around the planet. This is why AdLand had to be rebuilt into a web community modelled on Slashdot at the time, to allow everyone in the community to show their work and share their opinions. There simply wasn't a place like that around at the time. AdLand is quite possibly the grandpappy of all advertising blogs."
AdLand can be found on two URL:s commercial-archive.com and AD-rag.com
