Googles First Unsuccessful Mission

19 04 2008

Google slip up? Unheard of… until now. According to Google’s agreement with Myspace made early this year states that Google with pay Myspace the sum of 900 million dollars, if Google can advertise on Myspace and all of its pages. The misconception here was Google imagine a world where the middle ad high schoolers’ on Myspace would refrain from social networking for a moment to purchase something, this is not the case which is shown pretty effectively as Google has lost a total one point five percent off of there total margins. Google losing revenue off of an advertising campaign seldom happens, they are sometimes thought of to be the one company that cannot lose, definitely the company with the smartest employees.

Only one man seems to be able to explain the non-Google way of ad thinking.  His name is Andy Monfried  and his thoughts are that  generating ads based solely on the  profile of a facebook or myspace user. He claims that the way to determine what someone wants is based on what people do because that is in effect exactly what they want. Since Google is new to the social networking scene it is fair to say that within the year Google will have the monopoly once again. Once Google learns to stop focusing on intent, as that would be to talk to friends, and start looking at demographic, that’s when they will be able to start taking money from us once again!





Mythbuster; Jamie Hyneman Cuts the Crap

It’s been said multiple times that human and bovine feces can actually be used to produce electrical voltage and power everything and anything. This doesn’t mean of course that by simply pooping on your iPod charger you can create electrical voltage for those of you who have their pants already down, what it takes is an anaerobic digester to use bacteria to release the green-house gas, methane which can be burnt and used to generate electrical voltage. One of the major investors in this new technology is NASA, yes the space association, for the clear reason of having to power a rocket engine, and having to find a way to get rid of years amounts of poo. Other energy savers found by Mr. Mythbuster were grape juice, algae, and greenhouse gasses, surprisingly empty space is not a productive generator.
