A Google news alert has clued me into Federated Media. No criticism. I wasn't aware of this and working on the fringes of advertising I found it interesting and thought others might too.

Sorry, if that's the case. A search for "Federated Media" came up 0.

Which segment are we?

"Business Influencers," "Cultural Trendsetters," "Hip Parents," "Momentum And Buzz," "Tech Innovators," "Tech Professionals."

"Unlike many other blog networks, FM's system allows site authors to accept or reject advertisers' campaigns."
I am surprised by this. People sign contracts that don't reserve the right to say 'no' to any sort of advertising?

Which segment are we?

"Momentum and Buzz" seems a likely euphemism for inebriated belligerance.

Which segment are we?

We are the caterers to the influential and highly engaged.

So how do caterers celebrate no pants day? I'll bring the extra hair nets.

Why does this search return 166,000 fallacious results?

Federated Media is the same as fmpub.net. They live in my hosts file.

Liar. Federated Media lives in my pants. Which I never wear anyway, so... yeah. Hi.
