  • D Steele  I strongly believe that any business who thinks that they are going to cruise to riches with traditional 'old folks' advertising to the ageing baby boomers is doomed. I was born in 1946, so I'm on the leading edge. What products have I looked at recently? The new VW crossover SUV; light weight tents; computer programming books at Amazon; memory upgrades for my new Macbook. What, no incontinence products? Sorry. I just turn off completely when I see 'Senior', 'Elder', etc etc in any advertising.

  • D Steele  I think the Times post about Yahoo/AOL links nicely to your previous 'media at hyperspeed' article. It's been over two days now, and all the reasonable opinions about the Microsoft-Yahoo deal have been beaten to death. I'm looking forward to a sensational article about a Baidu.com/Yahoo merger. After all, Lenovo took over IBM's struggling PC business...

  •   mathewi  I think you're right. I'm expecting articles any day now about how Yahoo is going to merge with Cisco or Amazon -- or maybe Wal-Mart.
