The Post-Advertsing Consumer Hangover

Christmas is coming. The SuperBowl is near. The ads are ramping up.

But, I'm tired of ads. I'm tired of being yelled at. I'm tired of big companies trying to cram stuff down my throat.

And so are alot of other people.

It's time to change the world of advertising. Let's let the truly valuable products and services rise to the top, and let's let the rest go out of business.

If you're good, people will buy from you.

But that's not the American way.

Found this interesting blog on content monetization and thought they made some good points. It's kind of what got me thinking.

Google, Facebook... going steady?

There has been recent speculation that Google and Facebook may be getting closer than online acquaintances should.

Based on Google’s purchase of YouTube and Doubleclick, it is clear that when Google wants Google gets and money is no object. However if Google acquires Facebook, a deal that is believed to be already in the make, the search and advertising giant will need to take careful steps not to harm its (still pending) $900 million agreement with MySpace.

MySpace is responsible for nearly 11 percent of Google's search traffic.

"There does not currently appear to be a non-compete clause in the Google/MySpace agreement; however, Google's prospective acquisition of Facebook may drive Murdoch - and MySpace - into the loving arms of Yahoo." Marketing Vox

Rumors of a Murdoch/Yahoo barter for MySpace are far from being new.
