KlodsM comments on Yahoo! provides ways to improve ad copy

And by pissed, i mean drunk...completely hammered:

So a mate of mine got pissed at work the other day (i work with him) and at the end of the shift i had to drive him home, there was no way i was letting him drive. He wanted to of course. So because a did this he filled the car up with fuel and bought me beer for when i got home...so this is the first time anything good has come from going to work pissed, or getting pissed at work. And he was talkin crap the whole time we were in the car, so it was hilarious, i was having fun. Turns out he had to get up real early in the morning to go to work again. LOL haha, poor bugger!

Anyone else got pissed at work? Any stories?

I've already come to the conclusion that one diet will work wonders for one person yet not make a slight difference to another.
What diets have you done that actually worked for you?
How long did you keep it up? (Yes I'm assuming you gave up at some point)

I've done many diets in my life and each time I gave up keeping it going for various reasons.
One does stand out though and that's the cabbage soup diet. It is meant to cleanse your body of all the bad foods you've had and should only be done for one week since it is not a diet for life. I can say it really worked. My mum and I did it (I think 10 years ago) She lost about 3 kg in that week and looked no different in her appearance. I, on the other hand lost nothing, yet I looked great.
In a nut shell the diet consists of having a certain recipe for cabbage soup which you can eat as much as you want the entire week, and every day you eat something else (can't remember the list though..)

How about you?

Do you think we'll see the day when LCD monitors are replaced by holographic displays? Screens that literally appear out of thin air in full color?

What do you think? Holographic technology is still fairly new but there are scientists out there who believe we've only begun to tap into it.

There are also people working on holographic based cloaking devices for use in combat. In 10 years we could be looking back on the technology of today and laughing.

Thoughts?

Cezanne Huq comments on SEO disrupted? Google's SearchWiki set in motion

Manoj,

The SEO value here is pretty clear, relevance and quality are now subject to the end user and therefore it's critical that SEO be a part of the process so that it's more natural as opposed to the "be all end all" making a site and content feel contrived for the sake of better rankings. Hope that makes sense.

Cezanne Huq comments on Google Adsense Video now in beta

Pete, hopefully Google continues to stick their core beliefs in "customer satisfaction" in which case both users' and advertisers' concerns will be addressed.

Toby, great points. Question though, would you consider running the ads if they were relevant and delivered incremental revenue? If you think about it, it's really not much different than the classic adsense model.

On another note, I've seen quite a bit of give and take throughout years between Google, publishers/advertisers. What I mean by that is, as Google introduces something, I myself have done the "wait and see" but eventually gave in and Google eventually filters out the "noise."

As an advertiser, I've "given in" little by little and probably will expect to do so even more over the next few years...

Great comments!

Troy Dooly comments on Google Adsense Video now in beta

These are great comments. Personally I would have an issue with any ad running over or on my video page if I am creating videos to attract new business.

If all I am doing is shooting videos for play, it might be different. But as a marketer I do not want to distract my prospects by having Google Ad Video's interrupting my message.

I understand Google paid way to much for YouTube and now needs to earn back some of that investment, but not at the expense of those of us who have been with them since the early years.

I'd have no problems with Google ads appearing with the videos, and I don't think others should really.

If the video and/or page content is of a high quality, visitors tend to ignore the googleads anyway.

I do think though, that Google should play the game a little fairer by allowing the ads to open in a new window. It really can't be difficult for them and at the end of the day, more people would be willing to include the Google ads on their sites, so it would actually benefit them.

Cheers,

Pete.
