Tolling'n'trawling of the news, news, and reviews

Jul 21, 2006 20:38

Interview with Patty on Clickz.com, with some notably strange quotes. (Stolen from stillcarl's post here, which also contains a Register article about Typepad woes.) And hey, since LJ's supposed to be aware of its teen contigent, here's one of Clickz.com's articles on adolescents.

Have also found other Patty trails at places:

Blurb for conference on ( Read more... )

ad implementation, plus level layouts, pmmarcov, the press, staff talking

Actually we had forgotten to mention that. That issue was far too long.

Thank *you*,
A delighted mod

You probably wanted to link to the direct post with the link to the_lj_herald - the link as it is just goes to the community.

Whoopsie! Thank you for catchin' that.

marketers can design the features and functionality of social networks that nudge users to add more personal data to their profiles, which in turn can be used for targeting ads.

ew.

You know you want to be targetted, donutgirl. You looooooove it. It's useful to you, dammit, TAKE YOUR ADS.

foxfirefey July 22 2006, 17:35:26 UTC

*targeted? One t or two, I can never remember, oh English you fickle bitch you.

Don't you mean, two t's or three? ;)

Wow, that article told me more about Vox than it did about LJ (and consequently, now I know for sure that I'm not even interested in trying Vox out).

foxfirefey July 24 2006, 18:43:56 UTC

I dunno, most of it was about LJ and included gems like:

"I have to go in and say, "This is a customer too and there's a balance we can strike between the needs of the advertiser and the needs of the audience.""

"We are just now starting to put the final touches on some of the initial advertisers that will be doing sponsored communities."

"As more and more people bring other media into places like this, the advertisers are going to get shut out." I don't find that to be true; most social network places have ads all over the place. YouTube has ads. Flickr doesn't, yet, I think, but I'm sure they will soon, with Yahoo behind them. LJ succumbed already.

The stuff they're not mentioning about with Vox that would make you not interested:

* No threaded comments, I swear to God. Reaction from many: WTF?
* No plain text editing abilities yet, period. I also saw a post saying that people couldn't load photos from outside the service into their posts as a result. You have to load it into the service to display it in the post; you ( ... )

She really does sound like a very nasty little ad-sponsored individual. Ugh.
