Well I disagree that this medium sucks just as bad as TV. This medium is much much worse. Millions of people with no talent whatsoever think turning on the webcam and b*tching about their boredom or talking about what videos they saw and disliked is entertaining.

It’s not.

If tiny display ads do not work in relevant placements than why do pharma companies give up pens with their logos? The issue of the one size fits all attitude of most online buying today; the reality is that this medium sucks just as bad as TV if its not done well and for the right reasons…also USAIR sent you a letter today asking you to cease and desist your twitter comment that’s over 30 days old.

Google 411 is supposed to be a text recognition experiment. Wonder how that's going.

Kevin start selling Geritol and Lucky Strikes in your videos.

I don’t understand marketing and because I don’t get it I hate you guys (not you personally). I’m a muter and any chance I get I will do my best to block, skip, strip or kill an ad. <– browser plug-in million dollar idea right there.

Now if the creator endorse something or post a link at the end of their video I’ll consider the recommendation providing they endorse or use the product themselves.

As sophisticated as doubleclick or any SPAM advertising outfit gets to push their product I am going to be just as sophisticated in my annoyance.

Face it marketers the public want to be entertained and if you don’t try to find a way to entertain us or tells us why your product is worth considering more and more of us are just going to ignore your attempts to buy what you are selling. You are the new white noise and your flashing, jiggling and shaking into my psyche is only stressing me out which makes me less productive and in turn provides me with less income to buy your products.

Look, just pay the creator to sell your stuff, it’s that simple. Stop trying to trick and dumb us all down. Makes us smarter not more stupid.

That WAS a nice line. Erudite. Whimsical. Picant. Better that all that member talk over on Stickam.

“Some of those flickering-bulb types (you know- the pretty ones that talk too much if they talk at all) will feel they’re one step closer to being as obsolete as their moms or older sisters who were, naturally, travel agents.”

I stopped reading after that sentence. The bulb in my head was flickering too much.
