Across the Universe - Rufus Wainwright
Daha önce haberi okuyanlar hatırlayacaktır. 4 Şubat tarihi gerek NASA gerekse Beatles için önemli bir tarihti. Tam 50 yıl önce 4 Şubat'ta NASA ilk ABD uydusu Explorer'ı aya fırlatmış, Beatles'da unutulmaz parçalarından Across the Universe'i kaydetmişti. Ayrıca 2008 her ikisinin de kuruluşunun 50. yıldönümü.
NASA, bu iki büyük olayın şerefine 4 Şubat 2008 saat 00:00'da (Türkiye saatiyle 02:00) kendi frekansından uzaya Across the Universe'i çaldı. Şarkının evrende saniyede 307 bin kilometre hızla 431 ışık yılı uzaklıktaki Kutup Yıldızı'na ulaşması planlanıyor.
Biz de fistikyesili olarak sizleri "Listen Today!" kısmında, birçok sanatçı tarafından coverlanan bu mükemmel şarkının "I am Sam" Soundtrack'inde yer alan Rufus Wainwright yorumuyla başbaşa bırakıyoruz.

Super Bowl winners and losers
Fox, the once-perfect Patriots and the underdog Giants combined to create one of the biggest media events ever. But many of this year's ads treated the web as an afterthought. Did brands fumble the digital handoff?
As mass marketing events go, Super Bowl XLII may have been one of the biggest in history, second only to the series finale of "M*A*S*H." (The Nielsen numbers are still coming in). And while millions of people tuned in for the game and countless more watched just for the ads, something was missing -- digital integration.

Web 3.0 is all about rank and recommendation
We had a real-life web-lebrity in the Guardian's offices last week: Martin Stiksel, one third of the brains behind the music recommendation site Last.fm.
He's laidback and rather unassuming, but has the kind of enthusiasm and insight about his company that is often missing in serial executives. He'd probably say that's because he always did it for the music not the money, but seems to have ended up doing rather well with both.

Three global record companies have launched legal proceedings against China's top Internet search engine Baidu.com Inc, accusing it of violating copyright by giving access to music files, an international music trade body said.

Parently, that kind of reaction was not confined to Peterborough, a small city northeast of Toronto that is something of a hockey hot spot.

Baby Essentials Succeed Where Pet Food Failed
IT sounds like a recipe from the Internet’s cookbook for business disasters. Sell bulky commodity items at prices low enough to compete with grocery stores, and ship them for free to consumers.
The recipe vaporized businesses like Pets.com, Webvan and other giants of the dot-com bust, but now it is being revived, successfully, in at least one category, baby supplies.

Google and Microsoft Take Up Battle Stations
An expensive legal and political campaign last year by Microsoft helped delay completion of Google’s $3.1 billion bid for the online advertising company DoubleClick. Microsoft filed briefs against the deal in the United States and abroad, testified against it in Congress, and worked with a public relations firm to generate opposition.
Now Google is preparing to strike back.

Taraftarı Liverpool'a sahip çıkıyor
"You'll Never Walk Alone" ile takımına bağlılığı her maç sonrasında dile getiren Liverpool FC'nin taraftarları, klübün ABD'li sahiplerinin yatırımlarından memnun kalmamaları sonucunda klübü satın alma planları yapıyor.
100 bin Liverpool taraftarından 5'er bin pound toplamayı hedefleyen "Share Liverpool FC" isimli taraftar grubu, internet üzerinden örgütlenmeye başladı. Grubun liderliğini Liverpool Üniversitesi’nde futbol endüstrisi üzerine dersler veren okutman Rogan Taylor, Premier Lig’in eski iletişim departmanı yöneticisi Phil French ve avukat Kevin Jacquiss yapıyor.
Taylor, hedeflerinin Barcelona gibi 100 bin üyeye sahip, taraftarlarınca yönetilen bir kulüp yaratmak olduğunu vurguladı. Taylor, 100 bin Liverpool taraftarından 5'er bin pound toplayarak 500 milyon poundluk bir anapara oluşturmak ve bu parayla kulübü satın almak istediklerini kaydetti. Detayları fazla açıklanmayan kampanyaya en büyük ilginin Doğu Asya'dan geldiği belirtildi.
Liverpool FC'nin ABD'li sahipleri George Gillett ve Tom Hicks'in hisselerinin bir bölümünü Dubai kökenli bir şirkete satma girişiminin bu kararda etkisinin büyük olduğu söyleniyor. ABD'li ortaklar, 2011 sezonunda takımı yeni stada taşımayı planlasa da, yapılan son anketlerde Liverpool taraftarının yüzde 76'sının bu yönetim kaldığı sürece kulübe eski maddi desteği vermeyeceğini gösteriyor.

Make your email strategy Facebook-friendly
With the younger generation using online social networking and texting more than web-based emails for communicating, marketers need to adjust their strategies.
In a previous article, I raised the question of whether email was facing extinction due to the different communication behaviors of teenagers and young adults. Today's Generation Y, or iGen, members simply don't use email as often or as much to communicate as do older people; try sending an email to anyone under 22 and see if you get a quick response (or ANY response).

Buick Makes First Gaming Foray
Buick is not exactly the first car choice among the Xbox generation. But the General Motors brand thinks it can find 30-something car buyers with a new video-game promotion.
Buick is in the midst of a gaming competition it kicked off with EA Sports to coincide with its sponsorship of the Buick Invitational golf tournament, held last weekend. It is challenging Xbox 360 players of the "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08" game to record clips of them completing challenges, such as making a hole-in-one, for an opportunity to win a Buick Enclave. The promotion, which concludes on Feb. 6, is part of Buick's entry into video-game advertising.

İtalya'da korsan mp3 yasallaşacak mı?
İtalyan gazetesi La Republica'nın verdiği habere göre İtalyan parlamentosunun üzerinde çalıştığı kanun tasarısında yer alan yeni telif hakkı kanunundaki bir madde de; 'Kullanıcılar birbirleriyle tanıtım, eğitim ve bilimsel amaçla kaliteleri düşürülmüş medya dosyaları paylaşabilir ancak satış yapamazlar' şeklinde hazırlanıyor.
Kanuda geçen 'kalitesi düşürülmüş' ibaresi İtalyan avukat Andrea Monti'ye göre kolaylıkla istenilen tarafa çekilebilir ve ufak oynamalarla mp3'ün kalitesi çok az düşürülerek yasal hale getirilebilir.
Kanunun kesin olarak çıkacağı bilinmiyor ancak İtalya'nın böyle bir kanun karşısında müzik şirketlerine nasıl açıklama yapacağı da merak konusu.

Lunch in a Box
Even the simplest, most mundane daily acts have the ability to be transformed into art. Case in point, the daily kids lunches chronicled on the Lunch in a Box website.
The woman who runs the site (identified as Biggie), packs a lunch for her preschooler each day. But instead of the typical sandwich and juicebox that the other children get, Biggie's kid hits school with a meticulously crafted, beautiful, and delicious Japanese bento box meal(*). This is a hell of a feat, given the harried life of any parent and the picky eating habits of just about any kid.

NASA to beam Beatles song to North Star
The Beatles are about to become radio stars in a whole new way.
NASA on Monday will broadcast the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star.
This first-ever beaming of a radio song by the space agency directly into deep space is nostalgia-driven.
It celebrates the 40th anniversary of the song, the 45th anniversary of NASA's Deep Space Network, which communicates with its distant probes, and the 50th anniversary of NASA.
Amazon.com adds web services to its offerings
Critics thought it was over the top when Amazon.com Inc. expanded from books into music in 1998. When the Web retailer let competitors start selling things alongside its own inventory in 2000, they said Amazon had gone nuts.
In both cases, Amazon proved them wrong. Media sales now total in the billions each quarter, and third-party merchandise, more profitable for Amazon than its own wares, makes up nearly a third of everything sold through the site.
Now, Amazon is making an even greater stretch -- selling storage, computing power and other behind-the-scenes data center services.

Controlling a brand conversation
You can't really control what the blogosphere says about your brand, but with these simple steps you can exert more influence. The NextStage CRO explains.
You can think of this column as a follow up to Bloggers, influence and your brand, but you don't have to have read that column in order to understand this one.
Two kinds of bloggers
As we learned, there are essentially two kinds of bloggers that are relevant to your brand marketing, which we call Holmeses and Watsons.
NextStage monitored some 150 blogs of all types over a nine-month period. Blogs were kept as research elements regardless of activity levels and even (in some cases) changes of principle authors (the designated "blogger"). This part of our research revealed some solid takeaways for bloggers:
We learned how to determine if someone would be a Holmes or a Watson
We learned how to train someone to be a Holmes or a Watson
We learned how to determine if someone would gain dominance in certain geographies, in certain topics and how large that audience would be
And most importantly, we could train them as required.
Who controls the conversation? Frequency of posts
It turns out there are several ways to control the conversation. The first is to have the Holmes post frequently. This is a typical power vacuum proposition. A Holmes who posts infrequently will leave room for someone else to control the conversation.
Online Ads: Winners and Losers
Perhaps because a Jan. 2 report (pdf) by JPMorgan Chase on Internet stocks ran 312 pages, it took a while for many bloggers to digest it. “Nothing but Net,” written by Imran Khan, a stock analyst, and his team at the investment bank, predicted that Internet stocks were in for a great year, thanks in part to higher earnings, wider adoption of broadband, growth in e-commerce and growing revenues from online advertising.
It was the point about online advertising the caught the eye of several bloggers. The cost of ads per 1,000 viewers “bottomed out” in 2007, averaging $3.31, according to the report. This year, it predicted, ad rates will start to rise, reaching $3.86 by 2011.

Microsoft Yahoo'yu satın mı alıyor?
Microsoft, Yahoo'yu hisse başı 31 dolar ile toplam 44 milyar 600 milyon dolar hisse ve nakit karşılığı satın almak istiyor.
31 Ocak'ta yapılmış olan teklif, 1 Şubat itibari ile Microsoft'un internet sitesi üzerinden sabahın erken saatlerinde duyuruldu. Duyuruda, bu birleşmenin müşteriler ve iş ortakları açısından her iki taraf için de en iyi karar olacağı vurgulanıyor.
Microsoft'un Yahoo'yu almak istemesindeki temel neden Google ile mücadelede öne geçme amacı. Ve eğer Yahoo ile el sıkışırsa, pazar payını yüzde 38'e çıkararak bu amaca ulaşmış olacak.
2007 rakamları, 2006'ya oranla düşük olan Yahoo, bu düşüşe rağmen 40 milyon dolar olan reklam pazarının 2010 yılında 80 milyar dolarlık büyüklüğe ulaşacağını öngörüyor. Satın almanın gerçekleşmesi durumunda, internet tarihinin Time Warner ile AOL'un birleşmesinden sonraki en büyük birleşmeyi yaşayacağını söyleyebiliriz.
Google arama motoru ile her ne kadar önde olsa da, e-posta servisinde hala Yahoo ilk sırada. Şu durumda kimse daha yüksek bir teklif ile Microsoft'un önüne geçemez gibi duruyor. Eğer Yahoo Microsoft'un cazip teklifini kabul ederse, Google liderlik tahtından inmek durumunda kalacak.

The United States, Sweden and Japan topped a new ranking that measures how well countries use telecommunications technologies -- networks, cell phones and computers -- to boost their social and economic prosperity.

EBay Sellers Not Happy About Fee Changes
Vendors who sell their goods on eBay are scratching their heads after the company unveiled a new fee structure in effort to boost listings and maintain its share of the online auction market it helped start a decade ago.
While eBay Inc. says more than 60 percent of its sellers will save money with the new plan, several sellers have crunched their numbers and consider the rejigging a fee hike.
"We call it eBay math, it's a different math than most other people's math," said Randy Smythe, who used to sell music and movies on eBay from Southern California.
Under the old rules, for example, selling a purse at auction for $25 would have cost the seller $1.91, including 60 cents for listing the item plus eBay's commission of $1.31. Under the new structure, the seller would pay $2.74, including 55 cents to list the item plus a higher commission of $2.19.

Google Continues Search Dominance
It appears Google's competitors in Internet search have an uphill climb. New research shows how the company is putting even more distance between itself and its rivals.
Efficient Frontier, a search-marketing tech provider, examined more than 17 billion impressions and 270 million clicks on search ads running through its system during the fourth quarter of 2007 and the same period a year earlier.
The results show the yawning gap Google has opened with its rivals, Microsoft and Yahoo!, because it continues to attract a growing majority of Internet searches.

Starbucks'da damping
ABD’deki mortgage kredi krizinin etkilediği firmalar arasında yer alan kahve zinciri Starbucks, çareyi dampingde buldu. Amerikan halkının krizle birlikte kendisine göre daha ucuz olan Mc Donald’s ve Dunkin Donuts’a yöneldiğini gören Starbucks, 1 fincan kahvenin fiyatını 1 dolara düşürdü.
30 ülkede faaliyet gösteren Starbucks’ın ABD’nin Seattle kentinde başlattığı 1 dolarlık kahve promosyonu için, “şimdilik test aşmasında” yorumu yapıldı. Türkiye de dahil olmak üzere faaliyet gösterdiği diğer ülkelerde aynı promosyonu uygulayıp uygulamayacağı hakkında açıklama yapmayan şirket, Seattle’daki ilk denemenin ardından promosyonlu uygulamanın geleceğine karar verecek.
Starbucks’ın ABD borsalarında işlem gören hisselerinin 2007’de yüzde 40 değer kaybetmesinin ardından firmanın yeni iş yöntemleri arayışına girdiği biliniyor.

EBay cutting listing fees, boosting commissions
EBay Inc. said Tuesday it will cut by up to 50 percent the fees it charges sellers to list their goods online, in an effort to boost listings and keep pace with other burgeoning e-commerce sites.
To balance the fee cut, the company plans to increase its commission on items that do sell, a method the company says sellers prefer because it lowers their risk if items do not sell.
The greatest fee increase will come for goods selling for less than $25. EBay's fee for those transactions will rise 67 percent, to 8.75 percent of the final sale price.
Microsoft Adds WSJ Sites to Network
Microsoft has inked a deal to sell contextual and search ads across Wall Street Journal sites, the latest move in the company's effort to build an ad network to rival Google's.
Under terms of the two-year agreement, Microsoft will displace Pulse 360, the company that previously ran contextual text listings. Wall Street Journal Digital Network properties, which include WSJ.com, Barrons.com and Marketwatch.com, had not previously provided search services. Microsoft will begin serving ads on the sites Feb. 1.

Man arrested in eBay sale of historic documents
New York state employee who had access to government-owned archives has been arrested on suspicion of stealing hundreds of historic documents, many of which he sold on eBay, authorities said on Monday.
Among the missing documents were an 1823 letter by Vice President John C. Calhoun and copies of the Davy Crockett Almanacs, pamphlets written by the frontiersman who died at the Alamo in Texas.
Daniel Lorello, 54, of Rensselaer, New York, was charged with grand larceny, possession of stolen property and fraud. He pleaded innocent in Albany City Court on Monday.
J&J's Perkins: The Revolution Must Continue
Students of the marketing revolution should watch Brian Perkins closely. Innovation often means going against the flow, but the efforts of Mr. Perkins' centralized marketing-services team to modernize Johnson & Johnson's approach have encountered particularly tough headwinds of late.
The writers strike has made J&J's decision to skip last year's TV upfront selling period much more costly this year. A $16.6 billion acquisition has brought with it a Pfizer culture that hasn't embraced change as readily as already-conservative incumbent management.
Top things NOT to do in advergaming

Chips could put lab rats out of work
With a European ban looming on animal testing for cosmetics, companies are giving a hard look at high-tech alternatives like the small, rectangular glass chip professor Jonathan Dordick holds up to the light in his lab at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
The chip looks like a standard microscope slide, but it holds hundreds of tiny white dots loaded with human cell cultures and enzymes. It's designed to mimic human reactions to potentially toxic chemical compounds, meaning critters like rats and mice may no longer need to be on the front line of tests for new blockbuster drugs or wrinkle creams.

…monetize your blog without driving readers crazy…
…get traffic from Facebook…
…get more links to your site…
I like lists. It’s no big secret. Something about lists that approach 100 has a certain ring. 100 things means its usually a pretty deep, hefty resource.
Sometimes there are only a couple of things on a 100+ list of resources that are helpful, but its because it is a big list that you are almost guaranteed to find stuff you didn’t know about before.

After all, if organizations like Doritos, General Motors and the NFL were handing over their most expensive and important ad buys confidently to their customers, there had to be something to the UGC trend.

Juniper Research tarafından yapılan bir araştırmaya göre tüm dünyada 2007 yılında 20 milyar USD olan mobil eğlence gelirleri, 2012 yılında 64 milyar doları bulacak.
Juniper’in bu rakamları Informa Telekom ve Medya’nın geçen yıl 2011 yılı için yaptığı tahminlerle örtüşüyor. Informa 2011’de mobil müzik gelirlerinin 13 milyar Amerikan dolarını geçeceğini tahmin etmişti. iPhone kullanıcılarını ve bilgisayar olmaksızın telefonlarıyla direk müzik indirebilen diğer birçok kullanıcıyı düşününce bu büyümenin son derece olası olduğu görülüyor.

This year more than most, the real winner of the Super Bowl will be the advertisers.
Here's why: The New England Patriots and the New York Giants are from two top-five markets, and their storylines are compelling enough to hold an audience's attention whether the game is close or not, according to marketers and ad buyers.

Where are the missing iPhones?
The basic story is pretty simple. Top Apple iPhone salesman Steve Jobs claimed at Macworld Expo that he'd sold 4 million of the things, while AT&T said it had registered 2 million iPhones. What happened to the other 2 million?
Financial analysts such as Bernstein's Toni Sacconaghi and Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster were soon on the case, and Eric Savitz has provided a good summary of the story so far at Barron's: Apple: More On The Missing iPhones.
The problem is that nobody knows (apart from Apple, possibly) how many iPhones have been sold in Europe, how many are sitting on store shelves, and how many have been unlocked. Clearly there are lots of iPhones in use in China and other countries that are not on AT&T's network, but how many?

And chances are you'll be able to talk about it around the water cooler on Monday, and everyone hanging around will know which big game you're talking about.

Microsoft Delivers Strong Growth and Includes a Sunny Forecast
Reported quarterly sales and profit gains that surpassed Wall Street’s expectations and delivered an optimistic outlook Thursday, suggesting that a weakening economy would not slow it down.
Microsoft’s strong performance was led by its three major businesses: personal computer operating systems, office productivity programs and software that runs computers in corporate data centers. The company, the world’s largest software maker, continues to struggle and lose money as it battles Google in its new markets for Internet services and online advertising.
Facebook Extends Platform to the Web
I surely did not see this coming anytime soon but Facebook just released their JavaScript client library than enables developers to extend their applications to their own websites.
Rather than building your applications strictly within Facebook you can now extend the full functionality of the platform to your own website and leverage Facebook as the tool for managing members and their relationships. Somehow nobody has seemed to take note of this significant step.
Social Network Marketing: Ad Spending and Usage
The Social Network Marketing report analyzes the evolution of this growing Internet activity and its advertising revenues.

Worldwide, online social network ad spending is expected to grow by 81%, to $2.2 billion in 2008 from $1.2 billion this year.
If social network marketing delivers on the promise of peer recommendations, however, this flow of advertising dollars will become a flood.

Is Google's gamble Wikipedia's nightmare?
Despite electric growth rates, the reference space hasn't attracted a ton of ad dollars with the ad-free Wikipedia dominating the field. But Google's decision to launch Knol could change all that.
What is Knol?
While many have called Knol a competitor to Wikipedia, it's certainly not the same thing. Unlike Wikipedia, Knol won't be anonymous. Instead, authors will be linked to their articles, something Google hopes will help promote better accuracy and in turn help attract wary advertisers into a space dominated by questionable content.

Arnold artık Terminatör'de oynamayacak
2009'da gösterime girecek olan Terminator serisinin yeni filmin Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins'de Arnold Schwarzenegger'in oynamayacağı kesinleşti.
Yapımcı James Middleton'un açıklamasına göre California Valisi Arnold Schwarzenegger, artık böyle bir rolde oynamak istemediğinden dolayı projeyi reddetmiş. Projede yer alacağı konuşulan isim ise Batman Begins filminden tanıdığımız Christian Bale.
Resmi kadrolar açıklanmasa da maalesef Arnold'un olmadığı bir Terminatör filminin iyi olacağına inanmıyoruz.
