The New York Times calculated that the click-through rate for spam promoting pornography is 5,6%. This is far more effective than most banner-advertisements.
Meanwhile I’m still deleting the 40190 comments delivered at my digital doorstep by the same spam-industry.
Henry Jenkins (Director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program) started blogging a few weeks ago. The event of him starting a blog didn’t go unnoticed in ‘the blogoshpere’. For those of you who missed it, this sure is a feed to read (RSS).
“[Democracy, Big Brother Style] …A lot of fuss has been made lately about the “fact” that more people voted for the most recent American Idol than voted in the last presidential election.“

Everything that makes a connection on some emotional level is - and can be exploited as - a brand. It’s not unlikely bloggers and vloggers will be the best known brands within ten years or so, for some - digital insiders - they already are. No matter if this brand will be a real-life person or virtual alterego.

Technical Specs. 1) The form of logo can be easily used for animation. 2) The logo is still recognizable when heavy compressed for the small screen of a cellphone.
