Google To Unveil New Ad Service

March 12th, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Advertising, Interactive Marketing, Technology

Well this sounds pretty darn interesting. The Wall Street Journal is reporting:
Google Inc. plans to announce a new service that Web publishers can use to manage their online ad sales and serve up ads each time a consumer pulls up a Web page.
The offering is an early sign of Google’s plans to broaden its ad […]

Google Responds to a Joint Microsoft/Yahoo!

February 4th, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Advertising, Business, Technology

Via their Corporate blog, David Drummond, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Chief Legal Officer (gosh that is a long title) outlines Google’s thoughts about Microsoft’s proposed purchase of Yahoo!. As you might expect they’re not fans of the idea.
The openness of the Internet is what made Google — and Yahoo! — possible. A […]

Now Microsoft Responds

February 4th, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Advertising, Business, Technology

In a battle of blog posts and press releases Microsoft responds to Google’s response to their attempt to purchase Yahoo!. I think it is more than a little telling that Google used their corporate blog while Microsoft issued a press release in response that includes the below statement, followed by about eight paragraphs of boilerplate […]

Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion for Yahoo

February 3rd, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Advertising, Business, Technology

Late last week news broke that Microsoft had offered to acquire Yahoo! for almost $45 billion, or $31/share, a 62 percent premium over Thursday’s closing price of just over $19. This would be Microsoft’s largest acquisition to date.
Now I have nothing against Yahoo! or even Microsoft for that matter, but this acquisition makes no sense […]

Wow! According to Wired Alienware plans to offer “humungous wraparound DLP rear-projection monitors to gamers, sporting 2880×900 screen resolutions and a surprisingly modest footprint.” Wired also notes it won’t be “won’t be available until late 2008 at the earliest.” Can I pre-order one now please?

RSS Feeds: Outlook Can’t Handle Them

January 1st, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Support, Technology

I have just about had it with Outlook ‘07. Of course I would prefer Thunderbird, but use Outlook cause I am totally addicted to OneNote and the integration between the two apps is nothing short of amazing.And since Outlook ‘07 can also handle RSS feeds I use this feature as well. Again there are many […]

GOOG 411 Directory Service

November 17th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Technology

I don’t know how I missed this. Just call 1-800-GOOG-411 give me the info on the number you want and they’ll find it and connect you for free. This is a wonderful service for lazy people like myself that prefer to use 411 then look around for a phone book or hop online.

Lenovo bids Says Goodbye To IBM Brand

November 7th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Branding, Technology

Until the MacBook Pro came out I’ve always felt if price was not a consideration the IBM ThinkPad was the best laptop on the market. So I was pretty surprised when IBM sold the brand to China-based Lenovo for $1.75 billion in 2005. Well it seems to have worked pretty well for Lenovo. In the […]

October 10th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Business, Technology

The cost to try to influence the 2008 election could exceed $3 billion, according to TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group.

This is nearly twice as much than what was spent in 2004 ($1.7 billion). Well happy days for the networks and cable outlets, but my gosh, as an active TV viewer I am not looking […]

When Advertisers Clash

September 27th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Branding, Technology

Well some marketing folks at GoToMeeting and WebEx couldn’t be really happy about this. Nothing like having two direct competitors ads appears on the same page. But then again, this isn’t the print world anymore where something like this would be a little more unforgivable. My only other thought is if Digg is really the […]

The Internet In Periodic Table Format

July 21st, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Technology

This is pretty neat graphic representing some of the internet’s most popular sites in a Periodic Table format. In this format sites are grouped into “elements” like search engines, get stuff, Internet tools, aggregators, webcomics, productivity, et al.

Pioneer 8th Generation Plasma HDTV

May 9th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Culture, Photography, Technology

This is just a stunning new television that was announced by Pioneer in Europe a few days ago, with the code name of Project Kuro. I’ve been holding off getting a Plasma/HDTV television for a while, but not sure how much longer I can wait. This Pioneer should be a nice, all though expensive, addition […]
