It’s not every day that I have a chance to videotape a zillionaire without him knowing. Here’s “Bill Gates Raw!”
The idea was to see how many subtle Mac or Linux comments we could make before driving the Microsoft founder off the deep end.
Coke and Google are soon to publish ROI data on a campaign in Germany that includes online video. The study isolates individuals who were not exposed to television but did see YouTube promotion, and reports incremental consumption data by various digital channels. Paid search leads, of course, and YouTube ranks high (far above banners, which showed…
Eefoof changed to VuMe.com (“view me”). Company has Revver-like ad sharing model but never really worked out for me or others I know. If you’ve had any luck making money on Eefoof or VuMe please comment.
Courtesy of the Video Rambler, we bring you… “Gestation in 20 Seconds.” Man- I could handle that. Wonder how long labor took. .02 seconds?
Get used to prerolls and video-enabled display ads. The UK’s office of the IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) predicts online-video ads to become the most popular format (source). Today the bureau reports: “Video ads and rich media content are set to overtake more traditional forms of online advertising such as display and banner ads in Australia,…
Roger Dooley (Neuroscience Marketing) writes about Dan Ariely (author of Predictably Irrational) research below. I hope they didn’t use a Nalts video as the “annoying” stimuli, but would certainly understand. Hey, Ariely… what DID you use? Dooley: “Ariely and fellow researcher Eduardo Andrade set out to see how [emotions impact behavior] effect played out in…

I begged the team for a role because I think this show is an excellent example of a fundamental shift it entertainment:Low budget, great script and audience participation (I’m a klutz but the other guys have day jobs…

Man. I’m a Mac user and I found that rather offensive. Geez. Leave Bill alone with the Apple/Linux vs Microsoft. It’s old and tired already.
You could have done so much more with this opportunity. How about maybe asking him about his foundation and how he’s looking to help children around the world.

Sue him? SUE him? Bill Gates could have him eaten…with wasabe.

I didn’t realize how young he looked relative to Gates until I found some recent photo of the Microsoft founder. Maybe I should have put some makeup on this guy.
