Contextual Advertising And Search
Advertising Are Different 08/03/2004 12:32 PM
Apparently, marketers are just now figuring out that browsing and searching are two different modes of web surfing, and people will t reat ads differently in each situation. Some pointed this out quit e a while ago, but thanks to Google and Overture promoting contextually matched ads as somehow being just like search ads, many advertisers expected similar results -- which they're not getting at all. So, now, some advertisers seem to be fighting back and are telling Google and Overture that it's about time they separated out the two forms of advertising and let the advertisers work each campaign separately. It appears that Overture has started to move in this direction, but Google continues to insist that there's no reason to treat the ads differently.

Does Digital Music Need Artwork?

Does Digital Music Need Artwork? 11/06/2003 05:21 AM
Digital music may be great for distributing songs, but some are upset about losing out on album cover art. Of course, plenty of cover art is available online, and some of the new download stores include the ability to offer cover art and information. However, not everyone does this or feels comfortable with it. There's one interesting suggestion in the article: a band's website is the new cover art. The problem with that, however, is that there's no historic record of what their website looks like with each release. With a band, many people form some association between the cover art of an album and the music on that album. That's much more difficult with a website that no longer exists. It is true that (at least for me) album cover art is closely associated with the music. I've found that to be especially true when I've ended up with used or pre-release CDs that don't contain the cover art. When I later see the actual cover art it often is a bit jarring, because it doesn't necessarily fit with how I've been experiencing the music. I recently ordered a CD online from a musician (directly from his website) who I've been a fan of for over a decade. There were some problems with the order, and eventually the musician just burnt me a copy of the CD and included a second CD with new stuff he was working on (along with a hand written note listing the songs and apologizing for the order taking "bloody forever"). In both cases, since the CDs have no artwork I've been having a little bit of trouble "picturing" the album in my head. I'd never realized that this happens, but it seems that I very closely associate the cover art with the music itself.

Curious of the creation process of the brand-new Thunderbird mail icon? Drop by Steven Garrity's post on the topic. Steven heads the team and intends to keep a running list of weblog entries from members of the group. Also new to the nightly: The about dialog has been reworked, with a recently redesigned Thunderbird logo (ahem!). The Pinstripe theme for Mac OS X has improved with "the return of status indicators in the message list pane (for replied, forwarded, and mark as deleted)" and various bug fixes. You can now open attachments from within mail compose (double-click or right-click open). More improvement details at this builds' release notes in the MozillaZine forums. Thanks Scott, and all other Thunderbird developers/contributors.

Art history class notes artwork on eBay
for $25k 04/13/2005 10:49 PM
David Pescovitz: The artwork Untitled (Art History Notes) by John Jordan consists of three pages of notes taken in a University of Kansas class. The piece is being auctioned on eBay right now with a starting bid of $25,000. Who is this John Jordan? Just an inspired college student pulling a Duchampian prank. From a column he wrote for the university's newspaper:

One can’t easily define art and the dictionary definition leaves much to be desired. But they gave us a definition in modern art history class: Art is what the artist decides it is, and, to a lesser degree, what the art community accepts.

This definition can lead to art that only focuses on art itself — art for art’s sake — and ignores the good things art can do: inspire, cause change, amaze, etc. Nevertheless, it does help define these peculiar pieces as art.

More importantly, this definition lets me, now as an artist, decide what art is. It’s an empowering definition. The numerous classes I have taken, the art I have studied and seen, and the history that I know put me in a position to produce art. So, now I would like to introduce my first work as an artist.

Advertising

Advertising 03/11/2003 09:44 AM
I’ve been thinking about advertising recently. So when PerversionTracker, one of my favorite sites, posted their advertising offer, I jumped on it.

If you look at the bottom of the review for Xupport 1.2.7, you’ll see a little text ad for NetNewsWire. I tried to come up with a slogan that would fit in with the site.

NetNewsWire: It’s Not Metal™

So, anyway, I was wondering about how advertising is changing in the weblog age.

One thing that’s important to me is that ads should be clearly marked as ads. (And my ad on PerversionTracker is clearly marked.)

But what do you think of the whole topic?

When a software vendor has a little extra money to spend on advertising, what’s cool to do and what’s not cool to do?

Is it a good idea for software vendors to spend at least a little money on the weblogs and news sites in their ecosystem?

I’m not about to go on a spending spree. But it’s not too early to start thinking about these things.

This morning I got up and went downstairs to eat some cereal, but I couldn't find the box of my favorite stuff and assumed it was gone. Since I don't remember finishing the cereal, I looked again and eventually found it.

Turns out the side of the cereal box facing out was covered in advertising for some children's show, without any mention of the cereal name. Take a look for yourself: imagine it's 7:30am and you're blearly eyed, and tell me where the Life Cereal is in this photo of a pantry shelf:

Why we Should Tax Advertising

Why we Should Tax Advertising 06/11/2004 05:34 PM
Taxes have traditionally served chiefly to raise revenue for the government. However taxes also change the behavior of businesses and consumers. Because of this, by applying taxes to activities which are harmful to society taxation can be used to improve the efficiency of the economy and to promote the wellbeing of the public. Such "taxes on bad things" are referred to by economists as Pigouvian Taxes. These taxes provide a double benefit to society, firstly they reduce the level of the harmful activity, and also they reduce the need to tax other things such as work or investment, which are generally held to be good things. In order for a Pigouvian tax to be economically justified, it is not necessary to prove that the activity is entirely harmful, it is simply necessary to prove that the activity has negative consequences which are not included in the price paid for the activity. i.e. that the activity has what economists call negative externalities, or external diseconomies. For example, few people would argue that beer has no positive qualities, but it has negative effects on society when consumed to excess and is for this reason often the target of special taxes. So here I will try and describe why I believe that advertising is damaging from both an economic and social standpoint, and that because of this the amount of advertising should be reduced by making it more expensive.

OS advertising

OS advertising 04/18/2005 04:42 PM
Microsoft on Monday kicked off a new global Windows advertising campaign, labelled "Start Something." The new 15-month campaign is one of the largest and longest marketing campaigns in Windows' history, and though the company is expected to release the new version of its operating system, Longhorn, in 2006, the campaign is not geared toward that product. Promoting the aging operating system can be seen as a way to hype up the upcoming Longhorn release by bringing people's attention back to functions and uses of the old Windows. Some market experts believe this promotion can lead the way to the release of the next generation operating system from the Microsoft sometime next year. Microsoft launched a four-month marketing campaign when Windows XP was initially launched nearly four years ago, but this new campaign is much larger. The new 11-country campaign includes 51 TV ads, 39 print ads, 250 online ads, and has 13 themes including cooking, education, entertainment, family and photography. "As we enter the third decade of Windows, the Start Something campaign celebrates how people can follow their dreams and pursue what they are passionate about -- from creating an in-home music studio to starting a new business or becoming the family photographer," senior vice president of Windows Client at Microsoft Will Poole said. "Windows has evolved to integrate a wide range of applications, services and hardware in a way that has become familiar and expected as part of everyday life for millions of people around the world. We hope that people will be inspired to experience the endless possibilities available in the Windows ecosystem." If this is the pre-advertising for Longhorn then we can expect an enormous marketing campaign to precede the actual launch of the new operating system. As Michael Simon, Spymac's weekend editor (pretty accurately) predicts, when Longhorn is close to production, we can expect that "commercials would be airing on prime time TV shows, banners would be flying above CompUSA, and low-flying planes would be spelling out L-O-N-G-H-O-R-N above area beaches." Unlike Microsoft and its slew of ads, Apple has still made no attempt at advertising the release of its upcoming Tiger operating system. With an April 29 release date and Tiger only being hyped up around the company website, Apple seems to be relying on the Macintosh community to promote the new operating system. Relying solely on Mac users to get the word out, Apple's "marketing" strategy could be due to the loyalty of the Macintosh community in comparison to the Windows community. Why would millions of happy Mac users need to be convinced that the Mac OS is great and that they should upgrade to Tiger? Apparently, it's just Windows users that need a little more (or perhaps a lot of) convincing about the quality of their operating system.

Advertising Is Content

Advertising Is Content 07/26/2004 02:27 PM
This has been an ongoing theme< /a> around here, but it looks like slowly, but surely, TV execs are realizing that advertising is content. For too long, many people assumed that content was what brought people in, and advertising was the annoying stuff they put up with to see the stuff they wanted. When you begin to realize that advertising itself is content (and that any content can be used for advertising), it opens up a whole new world of possibilities, where things like TiVo and unauthorized downloading aren't scary. In fact, they're so not scary that they start to look like wide open opportunities. E-Media Tidbits is noticing the fact that commercials are apparently starting to become entertaining enough on their own that there's now a whole TV channel devoted to them. I don't think this is really that new. For years, there have been successful TV shows playing "the funniest commercials." AdCritic was hugely popular in attracting visitors (though, never came up with a good business model) years back showing that people wanted to watch commercials. In fact, it seems like a TV show of commercials is actually a step backwards, making people sit through random commercials, rather than letting them pick and choose, such as at AdCritic or one of the sites that have tried to do similar offerings.

Truth in Advertising?

Truth in Advertising? 04/09/2004 04:12 PM

Perhaps it is because I come from a culture where advertising pervades every aspect of waking life and which wouldn't surprise me if paid product placements would start appearing in our dreams, but I give some extra attention and curiosity to the advertising in Finland. I've noticed that Finnish advertising tends to lean towards a more straightforward and clean style than much of the aggressive in your face advertisements in the US. This is not to say that both countries don't have their own respective loads of crap, but overall I think the softer sell and elegant design is more attractive. However, I wasn't prepared for a new trend of blatant truth in advertising lately. It's refreshing, yet disturbing since it goes against all the usual rules of the advertising grift.

The ad above is from last weeks Nyt Magazine which is attempt ing to recruit young engineering students with "Sex can wait...". Never mind that the guy is dressed like a 1970s fashion disaster complete with afro and seriously tragic rainbow shades, is telling young nerds the truth that their chances of getting laid are so slim that years of toiling for an engineering degree is a far better option a successful sales ploy? I mean, I've spent my life around these sorts of guys who at the mere mention of the word boobies go completely quiet. Sure, sex can wait, but getting an engineering degree isn't going to make you dress better, bathe regularly or get you laid, ever. Well, unless you come into some serious cash which, in Finland at least, probably isn't going to happen. So, I think the slogan needs a little tweaking to something more like, "Those who can get laid get MBAs. Those who can't, become engineers. Enroll in our engineering program now!" Sex can sell anything as even the most casual observation of modern advertising will show, but not getting sex as a marketing tactic? It's hilarious, brutally honest and I'd love to see if their enrollment increases. :)

[update: Ignatz sent me the American version of the sex can wait advertising ploy. The billboard is sponsored by the Kansas City Missouri Department of Health. Did I miss the memo that engineering is the new priesthood? Does sex make you stupid? What? The unwritten subtext to this billboard is that KC is much like St. Louis in that the black population live in the post-apocalyptic downtown with an educational system handicap. So, the real message here is something like "We already have enough black crackhead single mothers so dream that you can get into and afford a college education and, while you're at it, keep your dick in your pants." Of course, studies show that kids who participate in these 'just say no to sex until marriage' campaigns still have sex and often unprotected sex. Maybe the government will start offering scholarships for abstainers through their churches as soon as Dumbya gets a second term.]

The Finnish Army also has a new campaign which has a poster that shows a doctor's Porsche, an engineer's BMW [which still won't get them laid], and a soldier's car that makes a Boston beater Yugo held together with duct tape look good. In the US this ad would be amusing, yet deadly. As the North St. Louis wise old saying goes, "You can sleep in yo' car, but you can't drive yo' house." A more pure or elegant distillation of the American love affair with the automobile would be hard to come by. The US TV commercials for the Marines always show an attractive, beefcake white guy wrestling with some demonic enemy in a video game style of unreality. Honesty is refreshing but reality has not been a traditional tactic in military recruitment. The classic "Uncle Sam Wants You" poster is brief for a reason since finishing the sentence would leave less to the imagination and the power of your mind to see what it wants to see. I wonder what happens to the engineering student who graduates and goes into the Army. Well, I guess if they're not getting laid, a sexy car won't seem so important.

[update: Jarkko has informed me that I have been had. :) I did wonder about the kil.fi domainname but considering Helsinki is hel.fi and Finland hasn't deployed armed forces outside of Finland, I didn't give it more than a passing thought. It is, apparently, a parody of mil.fi attempting to dissuade people from joining up. I suppose I should feel a bit better that it took him a little while to catch on to the joke. :) So much for my optimisim about truth in advertising.]

I'll hope to see this trend continue into the fashion and cosmetics industries where reality is in cryogenic suspension. And what about those foods that advertise themselves as 100% "organic"? :) That always cracks me up, but maybe that's because I'm a chemist. I don't know that advertising culture could survive a trend towards honesty, but it certainly would be entertaining to see more of it since it is charming and compelling in a field of carefully crafted manipulations of varying levels of integrity.
