Super Bowl XXXIX Advertising Bonanza

Through a tip from cup of java I found the Super Bowl section on AdLand ad-rag.com. It has scripts and information for quite a few of the spots coming up tomorrow. Good work by the adgrunts at adland! I won’t be able to watch the game anyway, so it is interesting for me to see what’s coming up. Anyone else who prefers to be surprised tomorrow: don’t visit that site 🙂

Russell Beattie Notebook – Singles and Posts

Russell Beattie wonders, if people will pay 1/3 of a cent to read his post. I am not sure I would.
One of his commentators rightly said that there is still a lot of „cheaper“ content out there. And I just wouldn’t want to go through a payment procedure, however simple it was, in order to be able to casually surf around blogs. I much prefer ads, which my mind blocks outs automatically (at least the standard ones), and thereby have others „pay“ for my entertainment…

Google local

Just tried the new Google local search, which is still in beta. It was smart enough to see that I am from Germany (everything was in German), but it failed to give me any results for pizza in Frankfurt (or Germany in general), which is a shame, because I know of at least 2 pizza places right around the corner. 🙂
