Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Maybe get a blister on your thumb. We’ve got to move these refrigerators…
Speaking of “transparency” … I wonder if all the Internet advertising sales executives provide data on just how many internet viewers immediately EXIT any page that starts serving-up Pop-ads, or so saturates a page so as to make reading (or viewing) irritatingly difficult ? Because that is EXACTLY what I do … in fact, any YouTube video that starts with an advertisement … no matter how few seconds until I can close the ad … gets immediately closed by me. The only advertisements that reach my eyes are on the streets, radio, or TV. When I read or view a story on the internet, my eyes are glued to the text … I don’t even notice all the bright, flashy crap in the margins.
And … my DVR speeds past 95% of all the insipid advertisements on broadcast TV. And I don’t use Google … ever.

What? You don’t want to learn about how Karlie Kloss (who?) just created her own web page with Wix? That ad seems to keep coming up on the Youtube videos, such as those by The Rebel or Bill Whittle. Not only do I find it irritating, but her voice grates on my ears.
Unfortunately, many of the independent news sites I look at, such as The Gateway Pundit, are slowed down by all the advertising and Java script crapola that they have on their pages. Most of them are simply clickbait and really aren’t worth looking at in the first place.
I use Firefox with AdBlock Plus and I never see those youTube ads. The latest annoyance is that a lot of sites now confront you with a pop up demanding that you turn off your ad blocker in order to see their content. Unless it’s a site I visit regularly I just abandon the page and hope that they notice people are bailing out on them.
Another useful trick: If you install Evernote on your computer, it adds some tools to your browswer. One of them is Clearly which will clean up a bunch of junk on your screen and make the text easy to read. It will also let you bypass the pop up screens on some news sites like the National Post that tell you that you have used up your 10 free articles for the month. You don’t get the original page but you can get the text of the article which is all you wanted anyway.
These tricks work for me but as always YMMV.
The article stated that advertising money is starting to go back to TV, but does anyone watch TV anymore? I have ad blocker software so I don’t see ads on YouTube, but without ads, there is no money and without money there is no content. It will be interesting to see how this pans out over time. I think advertisers will have to find more subtle ways to pitch to us.
The article overstates the situation.
Yes the market is over valued.
No internet marketing is not failing.
It is evolving – it is still very much in its infancy. And marketers are still figuring out how to mesh it with more traditional media – my favourite being the new style of address Mail.
If you want to learn more – check out companies like marketo and Salesforce.
For the more technically inclined, and you don’t have o be very technical really, take a look at pi-hole.
Whole home network ad blocking that is very effective. I makes those crap-laden pages actually viewable.
a soap bubble literally the size of a planet. far out. that DEC VT100 gave me a flashback.
I hope zuckerberg gets a brain tumour for the damage he’s done to the privacy of 100s of millions of sheeple.
is that a nice thing to say? it aint meant to be.
This article is deeply flawed. Younger peopLe don’t watch traditional TV or radio. So the major $$$ are going to flood back to two dying mediums?! Sure.
