Re: Microsoft not disclosing AdCenter placements on Live.com Search Results

Eric — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 09:23:09 -0000

A convention yes, but still a strong one. Turns out after I checked again they marked them correctly. I also checked my log files and I did get some traffic from the microsoft.com domain....who knows what that means:)

Re: Marketing.fm Poll #2: Where do you get your music?

Eric — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 09:24:06 -0000

Thanks! I am definetley going to check it out....turns out there are a ton of these types of networks - almost too many to try. I have been looking for solid reviews of all of them.

Re: What Ogilvy Employees are reading - or should be.

Eric — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 09:26:58 -0000

Rohit,

Thanks for the explanation. I like the idea of a "digital influence" team. I find these types of initiatives extremely helpfull because it shows acceptance within the company of a new technology that might otherwise be thought of as risque due to IT compliance. (esp. at a large firm)

I took a look at the handout too...good stuff. Subscribed!

Re: Advertise Different - EggVertising

Eric — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 09:29:47 -0000

I was surprised to see that they have been around for so long. I have heard about them 3 times in the past 3 months - so maybe they have hit a tipping point...who knows. I think the right distrobution is key, as I dont see anyone choosing these eggs over others at the local store or gas station.

Re: The End of the Big Advertising Agency

Eric — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 09:31:07 -0000

Nice work. Written by my co-author, I think this is one of the better articles to date....and I hope it continues to generate a buzz.

Re: Google TV: Coming Soon

Eric — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 19:29:29 -0000

I think the platforms of today (ie cablevision) are slow and not very
helpfull. If someone could harness the cable box + a web integration
I believe it would mean watching more TV (at least for me). WHEN
google gets into the TV biz, I expect to see total integration with
all their account services. Watch for them to try and monetize it
too...

Thanks David. I enjoy your blog and liked your recent article too. Stay tuned for more good stuff.

Re: FIFA World Cup: An Advertisers Dream Event?

Eric — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 22:45:51 -0000

Eric,

Thanks for reading. I agree that advertisers shouldnt spend all their money in one "arena". Any ideas on where we can find out about the success of the advertising that went on without a strong bias?

Re: Top US Web Brands Supported by User Generated Content

Eric — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 16:33:59 -0000

Hi Gideon,

I had a chance to checkout your blog, the AS site, as well as some other projects you are working on via MarkenMedia...and I thought I was busy!

I think its great you are allowing your users to profit share with their own adsense code. Have many people signed up? Also, why not still rotate in your own adsense code, at least 5%-10% of the time? There are hosting costs and the admin duties you seem to handle in the forums etc...

I think revenue sharing will become commonplace - and we will start to see more people with the ability to start recieving it, meaning more end users with adsense accounts in the first place. I know of many forums that are currently allowing users to share in their adsense earnings which contributes to the forum community as well as keeps users posting.

I have checked out revver - and I know one famous instance in which the guys who made the now famous "mentos" experiment video - made thousands of dollars via a rev. share. Great example of everyone "getting" a piece.

Re: Mobile Blogging via the Tmobile MDA

Eric — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 21:55:10 -0000

Hi Tiffany,

The phone quality is great in my opinion. I have made quite a few calls using the speakerphone function instead of waiting on hold with the phone to my ear. I was in the same position when evaluating which device to buy - after doing some extensive research I decided to go with a windows device because of the interopperability (sp?) with windows, as I am using a PC as my primary system.

I should also point out that this is not my main voice device (I have another tmobile cell for that) but this is mainly an email\mobile blogging\mobile web browsing and testing device. I have been out of the mobile scene for awhile and I have now jumped back in.

If I could make a suggestion - I bought my MDA through wirefly and I could not reccomend them more. I have a 1 year contract, the phone will end up being free after all the rebates in a few months, and the data plan is only 29.99 a month.

Tmobile so far has had optimal service in and around the NYC area. I have used the data feature extensively and coverage is great.

Hope this helps!

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the links. This seems like a very cool promo and the Facast system looks pretty slick. I have to give props to F\X for using such technology to setup this promotion and for giving this level of fan interaction. I would definitely be interested in covering this further.

Re: Dell in Second Life

Eric — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 21:26:20 -0000

Hi Taran,

I guess I didnt clarify. - I meant that if residents are getting free things than usually they are happy - if Dell is distributing the computers then they are also happy in turn. I thought the flow of the article explained that but maybe not.

I havnt had a chance to check it out yet myself - but I will soon enough.

Re: Mouse Over Site Previews - Pageviews? or Fakeviews?

Eric — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 22:00:13 -0000

After seeing this function working on a few sites I am still not that much of a fan. I like the idea and give kudos to snap.com for getting everyone to index site pics for them.

Re: Slideshare - powerful slideshows now online

Eric — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 13:13:36 -0000

I guess I meant that you can take it with you and embed it anywhere. Today mobile also should include working on mobile phones for sure, but as for the limitations of other presentation software and the hassle in getting others to see the same thing your seeing, this is mobile in my book. I will update the post to clarify though:)

Hey,

I have checked out most of the sites on the list and definitely added some new feeds to my reader - lot to digest but this is an overall great idea.

Thanks for your comment Tim - we are happy to report that we are on the list! If you have any others please let us know.

Re: The Google Phone

Eric — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 18:43:51 -0000

Hi Sean,

I agree that they would not be hiring people unless they had some kind of strategy for this area. I have also speculated that as Eric Schmidt sits on the Apple board that they would actually come out with an Google iPhone collaboration that would obviously have mass appeal.

I think people want to see this device come to fruition and these types of things only help test market demand.

Re: The “Dish” on Google TV

Eric — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 14:38:01 -0000

I think this has been their plan all along Krissy. Keep the networks arguing over the typical upfront business - and come out with a great ad delivery and handling system that can be used on a forward thinking company like Dish Networks. Then once they are established they can ask the same of a large network.

Thanks for stopping by. We will totally check out your talk on Tuesday and look forward to meeting you in person.

Re: New Google Definitions?

Eric — Tue, 01 May 2007 19:51:33 -0000

Nathan - I am familiar with the "define:" prefix - this was the actual definition with the word itself linking back to wikipedia vs the url under the definition. The typical definition string also brings back the book logo - obviously not present in my screen shot.

Re: Joost - A Closer Look

Iñigo - invitation sent!

I hope you both come back and let me know what you think about Joost.

Thanks for reading marketing.fm too.

Re: Summer Soda Promotions MyCokeRewards.com vs. Transformyoursummer.com

Eric — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 20:03:19 -0000

Hi Marilyn,

Are you trying the official site: http://pepsi.yahoo.com/transformyoursummer/ ?

Give that a shot. I know that you need to sign up for a YahooID which is not so bad - great for Yahoo - and of course can be used for any of their services like email or any member login page.

Re: Advertise Different: Ralph Lauren Interactive Window Shopping

Eric — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 11:35:46 -0000

You are correct in that this occurred also last year. I wrote about it this year again as it is currently live on display in the NYC flagship store. I may even try to get a live picture.

John,

I thought posting this would help some others think this way and myself. Hindsight is always 20\20.

Re: My Thoughts Twitter

Hi Amy,

Thanks for the comment - I actually setup a tumblr account a few days back over at bytez.tumblr.com which I may use on a website. Steve Rubel also does something similar over at http://www.steverubel.com/ which is pretty cool.

The question remains though: who is going to read all this:)

Re: Business 2.0 Mag to Shutdown

Eric — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 22:55:07 -0000

I wonder what they will do with the subs they get now. They may refund - or parlay it into another property. I am definitely sad to see it go.

Re: Continental NYC Subway Ads

Eric — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:36:58 -0000

Christine: Thanks for your feedback. I guess for some travelers it is now better to have that knowledge rather than not. Sometimes a clear message works to deliver information - to some other commenter points, I feel they should be stating what is good about the route and airline vs. simply going there.

Thanks for writing a great article about the advertising - serious kudos to Fox for this one.

Hi Matt,

This is definitely awesome. Thanks for the shoutout and glad I could be of some use. Would love to talk about this project further if you have the time - shoot me an email.

Re: The Best Type of Selling Tactic: exploiting cognitive biases

Eric — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:59:35 -0000

Giving someone a demo unit to take home to play with definitely increases the possibility of a sale - this is a great tactic.

I like the fact that the technology explains itself, as it should.

Any explanation between people will be difficult unless they are at the same exact level of understanding and explaining of technology.
