<p>For those of us, however, that come in at 10am, 3:30 is a fun time, but as you look around the office, you can see why I arrive early &#8230;so I can actually get some work done <img src='http://wisestartupblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So while doing my normal morning log on to Amazon to check out the hot deals, I was greeted by a set of familiar faces: Dwight, Angela, Jim, Pam, and Ryan (so hot). I personally use the digital tax filing services offered by TaxCut or whatever the brand name is, so I&#8217;m already sold on the idea, <strong>but this ad really makes me want to use the products</strong> or at least makes the filing process not so bad. I kind of consider tax products like toothpaste: I use something with a C, not sure if it&#8217;s Crest or Colgate, just whatever packaging looks the prettiest.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.wisestartupblog.com/time-for-tax-season-abcs-the-office-has-some-advice/134/the-office-tax-season-2' rel='attachment wp-att-149' title='the office tax season'><img src='http://wisestartupblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/the-office-tax1.png' alt='the office tax season' width='400' /></a></p>
<p>From the ad, I guess you&#8217;re supposed to pick what type of filer you are, but since I figured Dwight&#8217;s monologue would be the best, I opted to choose a &#8216;fancy filer&#8217;, and here&#8217;s what Dwight has to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dwight Schrute Profile: Fact: You’ve got a full-time job and an inherited family business and a burgeoning side project in the agritourism field (permits are pending). Fact: You&#8217;re going to need to account for your extra income or losses (because your cousin Mose can&#8217;t possibly guarantee the beet farm will turn a profit). Fact: The right tax software will help you get through even the most intricate tax return&#8211;alone and on your own time over a bowl of Count Chocula&#8211;without ever having to divulge private information.</p></blockquote>
<p>So after taking the <a href="http://wisestartupblog.com/15-questions-from-an-early-facebook-user-answered/">Facebook questionnaire</a> yesterday, I am drawn to the advertising section. Here&#8217;s the question and my response:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>What do you think of Facebook advertising?</strong> Do you find Facebook ads more relevant than other online ads? Ha! Facebook advertising is the worst. However, with the integration into the feed I have found certain ads not so bad. I mainly use the ads as a way of telling what new movies and TV shows are out. Perhaps if Facebook linked new movies/tv shows up to reviews, they might be more valuable.</p></blockquote>
<p>Now, how do the adds on Facebook contrast with this, well, they suck. I doubt Amazon showed me this add because I have copies of The Office in my shopping cart, but rather I think i<strong>t&#8217;s just a matter of Amazon having a better, more developed advertising department that knows what ads will work</strong>, and helps to create products that will get the message across best. That, or I&#8217;m just a sucker for anything with The Office in it &#8212; especially given this horrendously protracted writer&#8217;s strike.</p>
<p>By the way, I used <a href="http://www.hulu.com/">Hulu this weekend</a> to watch old episodes of The Office and it was a wonderful experience!</p>
