The power of advertising

Nike shox clearance is hanging its swoosh in shame after jumping the gun -- and the shark -- by making a high-end TV commercial celebrating the English team's anticipated Grand Slam win in rugby's Six Nations Championship. On Planet Earth, however, Ireland would actually crush England 24-8 last Saturday to deny them the coveted Grand Slam.

The striking thirty-second clip would likely have been shown first on massive video displays at key London transit hubs the moment the final whistle blew in Dublin, with thousands of celebratory "Grand Slam Champions 2011" T-shirts ready for sale at those spots as well.


I've got to admit -- the ad makes want to go out and see some rugby!

The now legendary commercial spurred considerable social media traffic on Facebook and Twitter and, Nike Air Max Nomo, as expected, spawned a second generation of video responses. Here are just a few of the YouTube mashups, rants and send-ups inspired by the half-minute when Nike "Just Blew It."

"Unfortunately, a longer duration is often associated with missed opportunities, but also on what you think of this or that to do with the different ways that do those things." Rose said, "and the short duration of regret that you have tended to focus on But you do not want to do. "

Gender difference, unfortunately, are often different. Women in love and regret on many family issues, while men tend to focus on the regret of education, career and money problems. Work and career, 1 / 3 of the male respondents there is regret, while the female respondents were only 1 / 4.

"Unfortunately, very often people feel bad, but in general, unfortunately, is a useful emotion." Dr. Luo Si said, "Unfortunately, the best way to experience should be Hard feelings it, and then as soon as possible to overcome it go ahead and use it to promote their own benefit to the new behavior. "

HTLM 5 technology will prevent the network "islands" of

According to "The New York Times" reported: Network is being restored? How could this be? Network is not an electronic commerce, information and entertainment heart of it? Either way, it does in the recovery. The importance of networks Needless to say, although there are signs that it is declining. Investors, innovators are turning to the calculation of new positions - primarily smart phones and Tablet PC's new application.

Application to all forms of access to information sites. But they are not dwelling on the network, can not be searched, such as Web applications, however, they can also be connected to each other. Look on the Apple iPhone and iPad program to see Android on the program. Even social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have shown similar, it is like a wall and connected, but independent of the network.

Last September, "Connection" magazine published an article describes the point of view, it took the birth of a deliberately alarmist headline: "Internet is dead."

World Wide Web founder Tim Berners - Lee (Tim Berners-Lee) also last December in the "Scientific American" (Scientific American) published an article saying: "We know the network is under threat, the danger is the network will be crushed as the number of independent island. "

The fate of the network may be more light some, it will rely on a technology developed several years to avoid the split. HTML5, it is the technical core of the collection network. Engineers believe that networking technology through the HTML5 programming, through the browser will show the effect of a particular device, like a local program, such as Android iPad or flat.

Web browser integration have begun to HTML5 elements. Firefox browser last week released the latest version, which supports HTML5 technology. A week earlier, Microsoft also announced support for the new IE HTML5. Apple's Safari also support HTML5, Apple in particular, value the HTML5 video playback feature, which can replace the Flash player. Development on the HTML5, Google's Chrome browser has been at the forefront.

Everybody says that HTML5 technology is an innovative step forward. World Wide Web Consortium (World Wide Web Consortium) CEO Jeffrey Jaffe, said: "HTML5 next stop on behalf of network development." And Silicon Valley software designer Paul Mercer believes that, HTM5L technology provides a fantastic experience interactive programs and networks, the same as the Apple products.

Some investors and corporate executives believe that new technology will bring new opportunities.

Greylock Partners (Greylock Partners) John Lilly (John Lilly) said: "The world is now a local program, people underestimate the power of the web. The next few years we will see the network program Big Bang."

In fact similar to the Zite and Flipboard other companies in their efforts, using HTML5 technology magazine of media content to be displayed on the iPad. Flipboard software is free, it can get the user to write a book review online social networking. Flipboard cooperation with the publishing house is also in the iPad to provide automatic display tool.

Flipboard CEO Mike McCue, said: "Publisher slowly turned to HTML5." Publishers fear Apple's control, they want to use HTML5 to get the balance of power.

Analysts say the network programs and local programs in a war the next few years, each with its strong following, and sometimes the same company is also divided into two groups, such as Google to split into two, Android team is to accept HTML5 technology.

Chrome browser, vice president of product management at Charles Sand Pithou Iraq (Sundar Pichai) said: "In the mobile world is the dominant mode of local programs."

Internet advertising after the beyond newspaper

Not from now on the way of the Internet advertising business ,5-10 years may no longer exist. Let's start with the Chinese online advertising market, talking about some new situations.

DCCI "2011 China Internet Survey" shows that China's advertising market, online advertising revenue in 2010 reached 25.66 billion yuan of total revenue, the figure in 2012 will reach 46.1 billion, will surpass newspapers (42390000000), China's market the second largest advertising medium. In the mainstream media, online advertising revenue growth has been higher than TV and newspapers, especially in the next few years, the annual growth rate will remain at 30% or more, a fast-growing, powerful new media.

Internet advertising in the next two years, jumped to the second-largest advertising media type, and the popularity of the Internet in China related. CNNIC statistics show that the end of 2010 the number of Internet users in China the proportion of China's population was 34.3%. The ratio in 2013 will exceed 50%, but online advertising sales account for the proportion of China's advertising market is still low, online advertising in many aspects still need improvement. Advertising market in China, the first is still living in radio and television media advertising revenue.

But from the penetration point of view, the Internet advertising market share was significantly lower than the penetration rate of Internet users, indicating that there is a large gap and potential. Media value from the point of view, take the first impact of the media is transformed from TV to the network. When this transformation is achieved, most advertisers rational decision-making is the largest advertising from the past to a new channel on the first major channels, like turning to the Web from a newspaper that, because corporate decision-making ads is largely a zero-sum game.

So the newspaper is not only worrying, worrying will be the next television, as I said, this is a brutal zero-sum game. Look at the hot e-commerce market the last two years, is an obvious miniature.

Once a solid brand, manufacturers began to demand higher prices, and subsequently more profits, more profits and then used to buy more ads. It is a cycle, and soon will be able to establish a symbiotic ecosystem, which in the CCTV auction prime advertising time and the cycle repeated. Consumers now have a habit that I believe TV ads boast of the quality of products, so they always come to know through television products. Money squeeze into brand advertising channels, but no profit at all.

But are there any eco-system life, the popularity of the Internet to television audiences are left, corporate marketing staff will suddenly find a huge one day, spend much of the advertising spending has little effect, too late by then, companies will pay a heavy price.

In fact, the more important not just realize that television-industrial complex is about to collapse, but also know the impact of television advertising and marketing on the Internet in the rules of the game are very different. For example, the old rules of the past is to create a safe, ordinary products, and spare no effort to do advertising; new rules is to create a distinctive, unique products, to find the right target group.
