Tues News: 4/13 (End of Days Edition)
Michael Block | April 13th, 2010
They say that all good things must come to an end. You were probably worried that this applied to the Tues News since we took a week off, weren’t you? Well, maybe not. Anyway, the predictions associated with endings are often a bit exaggerated. According to different groups of doomsayers, we were supposed to run out of oil by now, computers should have already turned on their human masters and the four horsemen of the apocalypse should have begun their terrible ride. Sometimes predictions can be right on, sometimes they can be a little hasty. What’s always true is that bold prophecies about the “end of _____” are always entertaining, if not a little foreboding. This week, on the Tues News, I’m bringing to light three interesting theories about “the end” of various things that we have become very accustom to. Without further ado, let’s get going! The End of Books: Books have been under attack since their inception. They have had to survive difficult manufacturing processes, widespread illiteracy, the advent of the radio, motion pictures, television and the Internet, the rise of e-readers and many other signs of the bookpocalypse.

For those without ads Google has setup an Ad Creation Marketplace (ACM) where advertisers can send in project bids to industry professionals to take care of the entire Ad creation process. To sweeten this deal, for a limited time Google is offering to cover up to $2,000 of the ad creation cost made through their ACM. Ad Pricing Ad pricing is based on the maximum cost-per-thousand impressions users are willing to pay to have their ads run and advertisers only pay when the ad airs. Ad Targetting Google is letting users target ads to run on specific TV programs, but also has advanced features to hone in on program descriptions, cast, genre, titles, and more. The Small Business Gap While it’s unlikely that large companies like Nike or McDonalds will ever set foot into Google’s ACM, ACM provides a great starting point for small and local businesses looking to advertise on TV. By offering traditional mediums of advertising together with online advertising, Google has closed the loop and essentially created a one-stop for business advertising needs.

Or are park benches and bus stops more likely? Only time will tell, and we Continue reading…
