This was one of the more entertaining Superbowl commercials with a good tease and all the right corresponding components: hangintherejack.com, Facebook fan page, Twitter page, Email & SMS campaign, but I am very disappointed in the long-term execution.  This shouldn't even be a long-term execution by the way - people have short attention spans… what the hell is going to happen to Jack?

What the Mobile Evangelist said.

A couple of months ago, Brandon Zelasko gave a mighty fine Brown Bagger seminar on everything mobile. In case you missed it, these are his inspired words.
