It&#8217;s a mini-fridge. Actually it is so cool that it both cools and warms things depending on your preference. Also, it comes with a car connector for using it on the road.</p>
<p><strong>I can&#8217;t lie. I want one.</strong> I use Google docs. Google&#8217;s homepage, iGoogle. I use Adwords and Adsense. I use Analytics. I use Feedburner. I use their search engine. I use their mobile apps. Essentially, I am a Google-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phene">phened</a> webdork. And I think the Google Fridge would compliment the rest of my Google stuff.</p>
<p><strong>So what would I do if I had a Google Fridge?</strong><br />
I&#8217;d proudly display it  in my office. <em>I don&#8217;t truly have a need for it.</em> But as the standing internet guy on our staff, I&#8217;d like to display it so that I can solidify my status permanently. I just plain want the thing.</p>
<p><strong>And I started thinking about the other ad companies and wondered what they are giving high rollers?</strong> What would it take for me to display one of their promo items in my office? I mean, I do have standards. So how much of a freebie would it take for me to take the ribbing of having their products in my office? <strong>I mean, I can be bought&#8230; <em>so here&#8217;s what it would take. </em></strong>(You can see how much I like these companies.)</p>
<ol>
<li>Yahoo! Plasma TV&#8230; <em>I&#8217;d put that up</em>.</li>
<li>Linkshare MacBook Pro&#8230; <em>sure.</em></li>
<li>Amazon Associates digital photo frame&#8230; <em>I&#8217;d rock that.</em></li>
<li>Auctionads Bose&#8230; <em>OK, I&#8217;d do it for that.</em></li>
<li>Microsoft adCenter Toyota Prius&#8230; <em>only if it were dark when I came to work.</em></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>What about you? When it comes to freebies, what are your standards? </strong></p>
