Geeks in the blogosphere (well, 2 that we've noticed) are cooing over a Cisco promo for an interactive online event scheduled for March 4, in which Cisco will "unveil an important new breakthrough innovation." Details are scare other than what you can glean from the registration site, which one geek from 11 Geeks Dot Com has praised as a little Web 2.0 with "marketing behind it [that is] simply genius." The site features five characters, Easter Bunny, The Stork, Santa, Unicorn, and Cupid who each appear in a video teaser about the upcoming event, with an Apple-vs-Microsoft-ad like tune playing in the background. Also, see what Jon Arnold's blog has to say about the teaser.
