Yes, We Have That by Daddio http://mhallville.com/2009/06/16/del-icio-us-for-video-yes-we-have-that/#comment-1820 Daddio Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:50:04 +0000 http://epigonic.wordpress.com/?p=221#comment-1820 Hi Mark I've just started using Vodpod and have a very simple question. For now I'm using the "post to wordpress" button via Firefox. When I post videos it works GREAT, except for the fact that they ALL default to auto-play. Is there a setting for that? Or do I need to install the widget for that kind of control? Thanks! John in Valencia, CA Hi Mark

The question for me remains is there some fundamental benefit that will allow this to happen, or are we just seeing a bubble inflate right now: So why the hype? Traffic. People — bloggers especially, those in Silicon Valley or the tech industry even more particularly — have realized that Twittering can send traffic.  This is why Jason Calacanis offered $250,000 for one of the 20 recommended user slots on Twitter.  It’s why so many top twitterers include links in their tweets, usually to their own properties. And why so many in the SEO/SEM business have flocked to use Twitter. [...] [...] As I wrote two months ago, I get that the potential for traffic growth is very attractive.

Bottom line is that display media never worked. We, among others, are creating display formats that do work: formats that combine display utility with organic distribution and search optimisation. We predict a long overdue move towards pull based ad formats that users opt-in to. What we need to do is give the pundit a utility that has value and integrate brand advertising within. As for revenue models: CPM is good for generating footfall but does nothing to drive engagement - hence it really is unaccountable. Cost Per Engagement and Rev shares will be the future. Take a look at the latest format we have developed for mydeco.com http://www.thisisopen.com/blog/2009/03/mydeco-design-box-v12/ All the content is intelligent and dynamically managed. Publishers are on selling the format which creates additional revenue streams. A glimpse of the future.... http://thisisopen.com Hi,
