Mobile marketing - notes of Adtech
advantage: direct, flexible regarding time, wide reach, reactive--quick response from consumers(mobile users)
key issues in mobile campaign:
* Process: collect info and prepare for the launch,launch plan, launch, after lunch activities
* Database
* Timing: prepare everything and launch on friday afternoon -- can sales shoots up during weekends
Keep in mind:
*not over communicate with audients: no more than 3 times a day
*keep good relationship with tech providers

Wario Land: Shake It Busts Up YouTube

Wow. Whoever came up with this new ad for Wario Land: Shake it deserves a raise and a paid vacation to Cancun or something. They’ve taken a basic concept of the game and managed to make it into creative and effective marketing on a platform where even the most humdrum viral campaigns tend to flourish. Screenshots don’t really do it justice, so be sure to check it out yourself.

Yahoo, We Can’t Afford A Monopoly In Search Advertising Even If It Kills You
Posted: 27 Sep 2008 03:31 AM PDT
Yahoo and Google aren’t holding anything back in their effort to win our hearts minds in the search marketing war. Or rather, Yahoo’s surrender in that war as they prepare to include Google Adsense ads in their search results.
They had what amounted to a advertorial in the New York Times earlier this week. Google wrote not one but two blog posts on the matter, and launched a whole website with their side of the story. And today Yahoo President Sue Decker weighed in with a long blog post, with all the same arguments.
Microsoft, hoping to kill the deal, hasn’t been sitting quietly. They’ve got their own websites and have been lobbying the government for months to oppose the deal.
The deal allows but does not obligate Yahoo to place Google ads on their site instead of their own. Google and Yahoo stress that Yahoo is committed to keeping their own robust advertising platform to ensure long term competitiveness.
But the test results showed just how dramatically Yahoo can increase cash flow with Google ads. The more Google ads are shown, the more money Yahoo makes. And in a world where all that really matters is the financial results in your next fiscal quarter, the incentive to use more rather than fewer Google ads will be too large of a temptation.
Yahoo will be able to fine tune their financial results simply by turning up the volume on Google ads v. their own. Every time they do that they mortgage their future because they give more network power to Google’s ad system (advertisers want volume and will pay a premium for it). In other words, Yahoo will be making constant cost benefit decisions weighing short term cash flow v. long term competitiveness. Human nature and simple financial market psychology tells us unequivocally that cash will win and Yahoo’s ad network will lose.
Yahoo’s ad network will continue to erode further as they choose cash over competitiveness, creating a viscious downward cycle. As the fiscal quarters march relentlessly on, Yahoo will rely more and more on Google to make their revenue and earnings numbers.
There are three players in search today. In the long run the 80/20 rule is likely kick in unless a monopoly emerges. Microsoft needs to be that 20% player to keep the Internet healthy, just as AMD keeps Intel’s processor prices in check even though they don’t have much actual market share.
But if Google gets Yahoo, Microsoft won’t be able to be that counterbalance. And then Google will be free to charge monopoly prices to advertisers and share next to nothing of that revenue with publishers.
That’s why killing this deal is so important. It’s not about the share price of Google, Yahoo or Microsoft. It’s about maintaining a healthy Internet ecosystem that continues to let entrepreneurialism bloom.
My position on this has been steady since Microsoft first bid for Yahoo early this year. It’s destroyed my relationship with (the execs that remain at) Yahoo, and the chill is palpable during my few visits to Yahoo HQ these days. I can live with that, but what I don’t want to live with is an Internet where all the advertising revenue goes to one company. That sounds too much like the Windows/Office world of the 90s to me.

How much do salaries differ for the top positions in IT if you work for a small or medium business versus a large corporation?
Janco Associates has just released its mid-year IT compensation study. Part of the study focuses on six-figure IT salaries and how they differ depending on the size of the organization.
Janco divides the data into six categories:
- IT Leaders - Large firms
- Mid-management - Large firms
- Staff positions - Large firms
- IT management - SMBs
- Mid-management - SMBs
- IT staff - SMBs
Here’s how the six-figure salaries for IT staff in large corporations differed from their counterparts in SMBs:
| Large corporations | SMBs | |
| Programmer/analyst | $172,089 | $129,641 |
| Senior Network Specialist | $165,013 | $146,562 |
| Disaster Recovery Coordinator | $152,696 | $102,598 |
| Software Engineer | $135,279 | $171,374 |
| Database Specialist | $124,791 | $125,631 |
| Systems Support Specialist | $103,848 | $108,685 |
It’s interesting that the software engineer and system support specialists actually make more money in the smaller organizations. -- SMEs needs talents who are more creative, productive to creat new technology/platforms or tech products, which can leads a unique selling point or even core competance of new tech SMEs. Considering such a potential profit, why not invest more on these talents?

耳目一新
虽然生日过得很低调,可是似乎家人朋友们不这么认同呢,非说我出国连同太阳都要带走。老妈知道女儿喜欢天文,还特地在自己的blog上告诉女儿去新浪上看视频,感动一把。
EXLIPSE实数百年难见的奇观,Lizzy到现在无幸目睹,总是接着NASA大饱眼福。爷爷说当年在四川为了躲避日军空袭而隐匿深山,反而幸运的目睹了日全食的全过程。而日全食给我的记忆,便是当年Dicovery节目里描述古希腊古罗马文明对日全食的解释,庞贝古城没落与日全食及地震的巧合,以期玛雅文明对日全食祭祀的崇尚。当然,还有后来的圣斗士星矢冥王篇里用生硬的日英语说ECLIPSE。
愿望之一:此生有幸好好观赏一次日全食及盛大流星雨

Cuil- the biggest search engine of the world -- instead of Google?
Cuil,这个与Cool谐音的小酷玩意儿,号称比google更强大,搜索结果更广泛,并且内容相关性更高。
可是这个小Cuil才高调出世,就招来白眼一片。Mike Moren这篇 Why Search Marketers Can Safely Ignore Cuil 更是把Cuil贬的如即将夭折的小儿。
其实我还是挺喜欢Cuil的界面的,清爽简洁,小酷一把。更重要的是,搜索结果的界面包括图片以及简单介绍,还可有Explore by Category, 让搜索更快的Target 搜索目标。在界面方面,其实还是不错的。
但是,批评的论调其实还是很有道理的,其商业模式与Google相比,似乎过于单一并难以持久。
Anyway,无论是投资者捞一把就走还是Cuil真能酷到底与Google抗衡,这都将是搜索引擎大战中精彩的一环。

APPLE i-MAC
人的欲望总是无穷无尽,萝卜青菜,各有用情深处。Apple这让我抗拒了多年的诱惑,最终还是成功了。结论:Regent Street 的旗舰店是去不得的,否则便要如我般横下心决定搬家后入手iMac一台。3.06GHz+24寸显示屏的整体配置让人垂涎不已,当然价钱也是相当的“不错”。音箱倒是难决定。还记得当时在Warwick时高云天的那个音箱让我总是禁不住往人房间跑去蹭听。
有物质追求,还是件满不错的事情,hoho
