#BlogLife, Mad-Libs Style

Here's another little example of what I do every day. In fact, it's so routine, I've felt I could create a mad-libs style template to handle all of my blogs. Here, check it out...

[BIG COMPANY] inks deal with [LARGER COMPANY] for [MONEY/WEALTH/POWER/WORLD DOMINATION]

Today, [BIG COMPANY] partnered with [LARGER COMPANY] in an effort to [COMPETE WITH/STEAM-ROLL/EFFECTIVELY VAPORIZE] rival [POPULAR COMPANY]. With the new annoucement comes a line of [NEW PRODUCTS/NEW INCENTIVES/NEW MANAGEMENT] which hopes to provide more [VALUE/INCREASED MARGINS/OF THE SAME] so that partners working with [BIG COMPANY] can take advantage of [PRODUCTS/SERVICES/THE WATER COOLER] that [LARGER COMPANY] offers.

In addition, [BIG COMPANY] plans on providing their expertise in [NETWORKING/STORAGE/VIRTUALIZATION/PIZZA MAKING] so that resellers working with [LARGE COMPANY] can enjoy [EASY DEPLOYMENT/FASTER SPEED/PEPPERONI] that was previously unavailable. Both companies hail the partnership as long-time-coming, since in the past, interoperability between technologies and cooperation between [BIG COMPANY] and [LARGE COMPANY] had been frequent.

[CEO/CFO/CTO/VP/Senior VP/VP Of Sales/YOUR MOM] says that [LARGE COMPANY]'s partner program will herald "A new era for [CLOUD SERVICES/VIRTUALIZATION PROLIFERATION/FREE HUGS]" that will provide a solid blueprint for the evolving environment.

Available now, partners can start reselling the combined solution and receive online training through the [PARTNER WEBSITE/VIDEO PORTAL/RESELLER LIBRARY/HUGE PDF DOWNLOADS]. This solution would be ideal for [VARS/PARTNERS/MSPs/ALCOHOLICS] looking to gain an edge in the [HEATH CARE/GOVERNMENT/EDUCATION/BEDROOM] environment.

But what's the bigger picture here? We can't ignore the fact that this partnership is clearly an alliance to counter [POPULAR COMPANY]'s recently [UPDATED SOFTWARE/HARDWARE/FIRMWARE/JELLO RECIPE]. Research numbers from [GARTNER/FORRESTER/WIKIPEDIA/I JUST INVENTED] have shown that despite popularity of the [TECHNOLOGY/HARDWARE/SOFTWARE/SOUL CRUSHING BANALITY OF LIFE] only about 10% of business customers are using [LARGER COMPANY]'s solutions. Time will tell if the new partnership will prove successful in shifting those numbers.

As a [LONG/SHORT] time user of [POPULAR COMPANY]'s [WEB 2.0 INTERFACE/HARDWARE/SOFTWARE/RECREATIONAL DRUGS] it'll be interesting to see if [BIG COMPANY]'s edge from buying out [PATHETIC COMPANY]'s technology will augment [LARGER COMPANY]'s offerings enough for me [TO SWITCH/ENJOY/CONTEMPLATE SUICIDE OVER] in the upcoming [DAYS/WEEKS/YEARS/OH GOD WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?].

We'll keep our eyes and ears open as the relationship develops and be sure to [FORGET TO KEEP OUR EYES AND EARS OPEN/NEVER BLOG ABOUT THESE COMPANIES AGAIN/NEVER POST THIS BLOG/CONTINUE POUNDING FACE INTO KEYBOARD HOPING BLOGS WRITE THEMSELVES].
