Did you happen to mention to @tridentlayers how you feel about the brand’s new gum? No? Where you been?
The brand-aware on Twitter did, and some of their whimsical bursts are now being placed by the brand in front of a much larger audience care of a full page ad in today’s USA TODAY.
According to Mashable, the Trident team used Twitter Search to find authentic (not sponsored) micro-messages.
Why does this ad matter? It doesn’t, except that Twitter and Facebook are now household names in this country and the two messaging services did not even exist a few short years ago. The ad itself isn’t all that, but the idea that what people are saying about a brand is suitable material for a full page ad in one of our only national newspapers, that’s notable.

Disagree with these tweets being suitable material for a full page ad. It’s actually an example of an advertiser that doesn’t understand social media. Plus, read the tweets. If they weren’t written by Trident employees or its ad agency, I’ll chew shit-flavored Trident for a week. PR and digital shops are constantly fabricating tweets and blog comments for their clients. It’s the new (media) hucksterism.
This ad is pathetic, and I’ll bet the public ignored it completely. That’s what they do with shitty ads.

Damn it man, we need more readers like you!
Better yet, how about you start contributing scathing posts to this site?
My scathing comments don’t suffice?
visited mashable and saw that trident employees also left comments there gushing over the ad – and a trident executive made comments too. these people are bona fide losers. plus, they continue to insist the tweets were not sponsored. ok, but the people behind them do have one thing in common: they are losers.
