Definitely gotta hop on the Reblog Train for this video. “Where The Hell is Matt?” is an awesome travelog. Joyfullness at its best. “14 months in the making, 42 countries, and a cast of thousands. Thanks to everyone who danced with me.” Also sponsored by Stride Gum?

“He realized his bad dancing wasn’t actually all that interesting, and that other people were much better at being bad at it. He showed them his inbox, which, as a result of his semi-famousness, was overflowing with emails from all over the planet. He told them he wanted to travel around the world one more time and invite the people who’d written him to come out and dance too.”

Shia LaBeouf's "Swings with Monkeys" is the new "Jumps the Shark"

Mon, 26 May 2008 23:13:00 -0400

OMG. So most people have seen or have heard about the new Indiana Jones movie. It isn’t absolute poo … it just smells like it. I give it 85 on the poo scale.

After 30+ years of having Fonzie give us his “jumping the shark” we have a new saying “swinging with monkeys”.

Spielberg thank you for making me laugh and for adding suck to what could have been a fantastic movie.

Also, instead of “duck and cover” it should have been “hide in refrigerator”.

The future of mobile ads

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:56:29 -0400

bijan:

Here’s the thing.

I never understood mobile ads. text ads or banners.

I know they can be targeted in brand new ways but text & banner ads in a browser. DIdn’t get it and I’ve never clicked on one.

but we have a portfolio company that has quietly launched a service with a large carrier and using AdMob mobile ad network. And guess what? The click thru rates have been much higher than I exepected. In some ways they do as good or better than some ad networks I’ve seen on the web.

So it’s no suprise that Google is taking this seriously.

Display and search ads on mobile are going to meaningful. Click through rates aside, the inventory volume isn’t quite there yet. Yet it’s growing and fast.

But we haven’t seen a new form of mobile ads yet. Imagine ads that are more natural and part of the user experience. Maybe they are the actual content. Maybe they are a game. Maybe they are simple sponsors.

That’s what I’m waiting for and I think it will be here soon.
