Doug Kaye and "The New Project"

Here's a link (Blogarithms - The New Project) that describes a concept that totally jazzes me. This is exactly the kind of thing I've been thinking of in a church-related context (which is simply a different kind of "presentation" or teaching). I'll be keeping my eye on this one!

Do you have no control over the ads that appear on your Blog? I just saw one for "sexy girls and sexy guys"!

My guess is, that ad showed up because of my Kari Byron post. The only filtering option I have is to specify that specific web sites don't show up -- that way, if I were Target, I could say "Don't show ads from Walmart". But, other than that, I actually don't have any control over the ads -- I just have to trust that Google will show something appropriate based what's in my blog.

And, hey, maybe that ad would bring in a bunch of money for me! :)

Commercial comments (Blogging from Word!)

Ironically, I’ve got two commercial-related things going on in my mind right now. On the Ericast, I’ve been discussing how commercials are going to get more and more imbedded into content; I think we’re going to drift away from “spot radio” or “spot television”, and even drift away from traditional “product placement”, and move toward a picture-in-picture or screen crawl or other “embedded advertising”.  That way, you’ll be unable to avoid the advertisement… and you’ll want to see it, because skipping it would mean that you’d miss out on the content.  (Imagine, for example, a HGTV demo on sponge-painting that takes up the top 2/3rds of the screen, with the bottom 1/3rd showing things like “BEHR Paint on sale at Home Depot!  20% off!”.) I might hate living in a world filled with television that looks like that… but it probably would be effective. But, speaking of, I’ve found a program that removes commercials from MPG files!  And it really works!...

Passing on Panel Discussions?

In his latest podcast ( Blogarithms IT Conversations News: August 14, 2005 ), Doug Kaye mentioned an interesting anecdotal tidbit: People seem less interested in panel discussions at conferences than they do in single speakers. The panel discussions get lower ratings at ITConversations.com, and... there was some other reason he mentioned it, too. (Okay, so I don't remember. Sorry!) As I was listening to one of their panel discussions this morning, I had a thought: It was really hard to follow. It takes a lot of mental energy to keep up with who's-saying-what. And I don't even particular care about the who's-who; it would be even worse if I really need to know which person was making a particular point. Could that be what people are reacting to when they rate panel discussions lower than single-speaker talks?
