I like Meg's comment above, too. We're not an ad agency so we didn't submit but it would be fun to work with a client that's so, well, current. We actually did make it to the RFP process with another client who also announced through Twitter near-simultaneously last week, albeit with much less fanfare, so the process seems to be organically progressing already.

Yes, we can all easily say that it's an obvious solution considering how ubiquitous social media is right now. But it's also highlighting ways that the process itself can be improved. I loved: "Current is looking for a nimble agency that can move at the speed of culture." Current already is up-to-speed with culture - which means they need an agency that's one step ahead. The Twitter RFP almost serves as an agency social Darwinism-type tactic. Those that aren't forward-thinking and immersed in emerging technology are already weeded out.

To me! Look how hip we are! Me me me!" Isn't that the 'traditional' way things are done? Congrats on you're new blog. You totally get it now.
