POPSHow Much Will Advertisers Pay for a 1.5 Second Spot? I think this is absolutely an interesting and thought-provoking study in our post-broadcast, niche media world. "Life After the 30 Second Spot" (check out Joseph Jaffee's book on the subject) means media giants must work even harder to stay profitable and, indeed, desperate times sometime call for desperate studies. However optimistic and provocative, this study falls short because participants are actively engaged in TV and commercial viewing. They sit back, watch and report. However, today's TV viewer is not only fast forwarding the commercial, she is checking her email, downloading at iTunes and Skyping her pals during show breaks. Perhaps this type of environment was tested as well but I didn't see an indicatio of this in the report. Interested to know your thoughts- Should advertisers pay for your attention when you fast forward through their messages?

POPSStudy: 95 percent of all e-mail sent in 2007 was spam The point is that collective intelligence is likely better than an individualistic approach to combating spam. When we start pining for the "good ol' days" of junk mail and telemarketing, we clearly need to find solutions. Filtering probably isn't going to cut it.

POPSSimpleology Blogging - Oversimplified? I'm a big fan of Mark Joyner's work. In my opinion Simpleology 101 was a stroke of genius, on many levels. But even my favorite things need a thorough scrutiny, sometimes.

POPSA Virtual Business Card, Brilliant My next post will definitely be my virtual business card. I already am using my Gmail signature as a sort of "virtual" business card where I list all my social networking links and profiles. Now mine will not be nearly as impressive as Christopher S. Penn's VBC. Hah, I am already chopping it down to an acronym. I bet we will see much more formal virtual business cards and resumes. LinkedIn is a sort of virtual business card, but it doesn't allow for us social media freaks to list all of our websites. Who else will create a VBC?

POPSAmplify - What You Should Be Reading Clipmarks doesn't do justice to the look, feel & functionality of the new Amplify.com, even though clearly they're related. Yep, you're looking at part of my shiny new Clog. Who did I have to sleep with or kill to get the invite, you ask? That's personal and if I told you - I would have to find you and... you know how that ends. So, for the sake of peace - go to Amplify.com and request to be notified when it goes live. You'll be glad you did. It's coming and as Mexican/American would say while visiting Ukraine - it's mui cool!

POPSTwo networks: Human/person and email-based Providing user accounts that may have serveral identities each with a distinct email address will become crucial. Yahoo is doing this right, although not perfect yet. They seem not to have fully understood the potential power (hidden jewel) they have had for years now.
