[ NNSquad ] Re: In the Mirror, Privacy vs. the Color of Internet Greed


Lauren:

Sometimes the ads are themselves valued content.

It strikes that IS often the case in magazines, WAS often the case in
local newspapers (classifieds and coupons), and is/was sometimes the
case in radio and TV -- think of some of the great Super Bowl ads, but
also many other classics.

Even some Internet marketers manage to make "infomercials" that
provide valuable and entertaining content along with their pitch for
whatever.

Others, like the ads associated with Google searches and gmail, are at
least unobtrusive.

So perhaps one of the longer-term solutions is to develop the Internet
equivalents of the 1984 Apple ad, or "where's the beef" or whatever
one's favorite TV or radio add is -- or variants of the coupons for
local shopping that used to be a mainstay of local newspapers.
