Will Facebook users embrace Timeline?
A few weeks ago a friend of mine from college quoted a wall post I left on her Facebook profile at the beginning of our freshman year of college. I read the post and was mortified. Only an eighteen year old would write such a silly comment—I was trying to convince her to watch Star [...]
Do clicks really represent your ultimate buyer?
Let me first qualify that question and provide some context. Mark Suster, who writes a blog called Both Sides of the Table, wrote an interesting post a couple weeks ago arguing that The Future of Advertising Will Be Integrated. I had my own take on it, in which I posit there is significant untapped potential in display advertising. In [...]
Search street cred
I recently read a post by Albert Wenger, partner at Union Square Ventures, on his Continuations blog that sparked a bit of an internal dialogue. The post, “The Unbundling of Product Discovery from Commerce” talked about how Search is not a tool of “discovery.” In other words, if you know exactly what you are looking [...]

Will the New Kindle Kindle Sales?
When Amazon came out with the Kindle, and Sony, Barnes & Noble, and others introduced their own e-readers, many literary purists were distraught that a device could destroy the visceral experience of reading an actual book–the smell of starched paper, the cracked spines, the dog-eared pages. However, e-readers have proven to be a raging success [...]
Better Content Through…Advertising?
By Jason Lau and Matthew Mates On Monday, the New York Times launched its paywall—the much-ballyhooed $40 million dollar endeavor designed to get everyone but the lightest of users to fork over at least $15 per month for access to content that just last week was completely free. Of course, those looking to skirt the [...]

Privacy – Opt-in v Opt-Out
I recently wrote a post about Ad Cookies and Privacy in which I suggested the debate about privacy protections being compromised by the tiny bits of code monitoring our behavior online has merit on both sides.
