Tom Altman’s Wedia Conversation

So You Tube released over video ads this week. So when we will these hit the small screen?

I figured it out last night while watching “Last Comic Standing” - when I witnessed no less than 249 ads for the new “Bionic Woman”.

Seriously, do you think we could be looking at these ‘over’ ads for all advertising? Or is this is way that we can pack MORE ads into the same “space”? Do we think we could ‘keep’ more people engaged with no traditional ads and all over ads?

This is a pretty cool little tool that started in 1996 archiving the internet. It sends out it’s little spider to comb the web and pickup on all the sites it finds - and copies them.

So what you can do - it put in a site ans see it’s eveolution…Gazette Online or KCRG.

Take a look - each one of those days is a snap shop. Sometimes the images don;t show up - but it gives you a good idea.

OK, this could be very interesting - and is so relevant for us because of KCRG and the move to HD.

The speculation is over about whether Google is interested in directly participating in the wireless world. On Friday, the Mountain View, California-based company said it would participate as a bidder in the upcoming federal auction of wireless spectrum in the 700-MHz band — to the tune of at least $4.6 billion.

Basically - this could mean Google could offer up free internet for all on the 700 MHz band and this could open up a whole new world…literally.
