FACEBOOK - The Emperor Has No Revenue

Posted on May 16th, 2012 Written on michael's blog

Comments: 1

I like it... but I don't pay any attention to the ads... The New York Times today reported that General Motors will stop running ads on Facebook. While GM only spends $10 million a year on its Facebook ads, a tiny fraction of Facebook's ad income (and GM's ad budget), it may be the opening wedge in an ackowledgement that the emperor has no clothes. “My colleagues and I have spoken with several other advertise

Posted on May 13th, 2012 Written on michael's blog

This summer the Olympics are coming to London. There are going to be millions of people there, most of them shooting video on their cameras and iPhones.

photo of Oprah from The Daily Mail from Twitter, Tweeted by Oprah (so I hope there are no rights issues here) The Daily Mail, the UK newspaper everyone loves to read, announced today that The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) is pretty much over. The network has so far lost a staggering $330 million, with no end in sight. Part of the problem is that almost on one watches and part of the problem is that their convetional pr
