Marketing News Roundup, January 9

posted on January 9, 2009

Oh boy—it’s Friday! In case you haven’t noticed, you know, now that the day is over…

Good news for video: Downloading TV and watching video online were the biggest gainers in 2008. Which doesn’t really explain the next two stories.
35% of US television households will soon be covered by a new Mobile TV service with 22 major channels participating—even though mobile video has plateaued at 5% penetration among US mobile subscribers. Is this the push they need to get beyond the plateau?
And apparently MySpace, Yahoo, and Intel got it backwards, because now they’re all excited about a leap to TV from the Internet.
Have some Facebook friends you don’t really like and a hankering for fast food? Add the new Burger King-sponsored app, ‘sacrifice’ 10 friends and get a free Whopper. Seriously (CP+B FTW again).
Didn’t I see this on L&O like two seasons ago? Now Google Street View helps solve a crime in the real world.
Ever wonder how Google makes their money? (No? Oh.) It’s their own “long tail”: $16,000 per advertiser, times one million. Meanwhile, Google Blogoscoped reminds us there are nearly four dozen Google products that make no money directly.

Oh no, Google must be losing out so much

The Adweek post is quite sure about their facts. Actually, BK may just be on to something here. This is a good promo and they may just get a lot of mileage out of it despite it being so wicked!

Remove friends for a free Whopper, Lol! Thats something not everyone would do. Especially if you were only adding your ‘real’ friends in facebook and not just anybody!

The number of one million advertisers in 2007 is quite impressive. But what is more impressive is the average sum of money each advertiser spent per year.

I was impressed by the delivered figures but I think there might be a further growth anymore.

I wonder if someone is going to create a pop-out, fold out, or projection screen mobile device so that I can watch TV on a big screen, but from my PDA….lol ; )

That Burger King promo sounds like a really cool idea! The stats around this could prove to be interesting, what will prevent people from doing this and just adding the deleted friends again?

Sounds like TVs are becoming obsolete, heh.

Funny! Yahoo takes one major focus on 1 thing they are doing great! Google takes on hundreds of neat and innovative projects
