wired.com— TV advertising is broken, putting $67 billion up for grabs. Which explains why Google spent a billion and change on an online video startup.

Wow. I soo-oo-oooo want to digg this article. It's all well-researched and everything.But he spends about 90% of the article pushing his buddies' websites and trying to coin a new term about what to call YouTube (I guess "YouTube" isn't good enough for him), which at first is charming, but wears thin fairly quickly.So I guess I'll let everyone else digg it up.
One of the most important things the article completely ignores is the fact that Youtube and other online video sites don't have a 30 or 60 second time limit like TV spots. This is one of the greatest advantages of online video delivery. If TV ads don't break out of their shell and drastically revamp their model, they're doomed.
My guess is YouTube will have those short commercials we already see on sites like gametrailers, before a movie starts... That would be the best way to earn lots of cash for YouTube, but also the most annoying way for us /o
Except, duhblow...peopel HAVEN'T shown they want to download movies as much as your hthink. Not enough to pay back $1 billion.And certainly not if they have to either pay for it or watch advertising, since bit torrents are still free.
Very clever thing to do that "take a picture of yourself everyday for 6 years"...makes me wanna do it...but then again I really couldn't be bothered! lol
Television is an extended form of dream vision while waking, and it meets the definition of an hallucination. This has been clearly proven (in detail and with specifics) by the below article. It is readily and plainly apparent that television is far worse for us than we have been led to believe. Where are our so-called experts? This new article is entitled Television is an Hallucination.We need legislative advocacy on this NOW.
