How To Do Advertising On YouTube: Make It Awesome (8)

Techdirt (868) permalink
In the past, as we've talked about how advertising is content and content is advertising, we've pointed out that many folks who worry about "advertising" on YouTube are missing out on the fact that the YouTube videos are advertising themselves. But, of course, with millions and millions of videos on YouTube, it helps to do something special. Our own Tim Lee sent over this example of a YouTube video about a Nintendo Wii game that's ...Shared by Blaise (40) Db0 (21) Eric (15) Erik J.

Τα αντεπιχειρήματα του Πάκη ήταν βασικά δύο: 1) Ευθύνη έχεις απέναντι στην παράταξη που σε στηρίζει και όχι απέναντι στο λαό που σε ψηφίζει.

5.1 - Nauseating Capitalism (2)
permalinkWhat is more intrinsically corrupt than allowing people to engage in high-reward/no-risk capitalism — where they reap tens of millions of dollars and more every year while their reckless gambles are paying off only to then have the Government shift their losses to the citizenry at large once their schemes collapse? We’ve retroactively created a win-only system where the wealthiest corporations and their shareholders are free to gamble for as long as they win and ...

Lifehacker (12526) permalink
Since the birth of the iPod in 2001, Apple has released generation after generation of new iPods packed with exciting feature updates. The problem is that your not-so-old iPod probably feels like it's drifted into obsolescence. Sure they both still play music, but take a look at a first gen iPod next to an iPod touch and it's not hard to understand where I'm coming from. Rather than pony up for a shiny new MP3 ...Shared by Aaron (14) Adam (18) androcles (22) Anoop (37) Bananalope (23) Ben (12) blntechie (18) Bwood42 (20) Chris (20) Christian Santos (98) Coolbox (26) DaveBinM (14) Db0 (21) Diego Jock (7) Eduardo (10) eunduk (12) Florent Solt (37) Fredrik H (20) Jack (18) Jayce^ (20) joel (20) John (16) Julian (21) kidmarmite (31) Koenie (13) Krushna (92) Krystal (33) M.

Take A Deep Breath: Some Perspective On The Financial Crisis (18)
onI've been spending plenty of time talking to people, reading up and listening to various views on the whole financial crisis. Last week, I asked a bunch of folks I knew in the tech, economics and financial worlds for their thoughts on the situation and I'm hopeful that I may end up with a few guest posts out of it. In the meantime, I wanted to start with my own thoughts.
