Microsoft Launches Ad Campaign Blog - Hosted on Linux running PHP / MySql and using Wordpress.

Now this is even better than the ad!

The Ad is called “bring back the love” and it’s about the client vs advertiser relationship. The ad is nifty, but no where near how nifty the fact that Microsoft hosts the ad on a Linux platform.

Openhere Ad Agency and Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions launch their viral marketing campaign on an open source platform. (click to see the blog’s about us page ) and here it’s main page.

Here is a screen shot in case they change it… I love the Ubuntu take screenshot program.. feel free to click on the image to enlarge.


Together with our ad agency Openhere, I’m currently making a commercial for Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions.

I work as a Marketing Manager at Microsoft

Notice that it’s a wordpress blog…

Now this this the funny thing, a few days ago when I was putting together the story I checked the HTTP Headers.. it bounced back Linux … now it reads:

TTP/1.0 200 OK
Vary: Cookie
X-hacker: If you’re reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and apply to join the fun, mention this header.

Funny.. but not as funny as seeing it say Linux …
