Seth's Blog: Why ask why? -

“Why?” is the most important question, not asked nearly enough.

Hint: “Because I said so,” is not a valid answer.

“Our gross national product…counts air pollution and cigarette advertising and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage,” Robert F. Kennedy said on the presidential campaign trail in 1968. “It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl.…Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play.” — The Economics of Well-Being - Harvard Business Review

US Interactive Marketing Forecast, 2011 To 2016 - Forrester Research -

By 2016, advertisers will spend $77 billion on interactive marketing — as much as they do on television today. Search marketing, display advertising, mobile marketing, email marketing, and social media will grow to 26% of all advertising spend as they are embedded in the marketing mix. We expect this growth to help firms become adaptive, kill off daily deals, re-emphasize marketing’s “p’s,” and turn consumer electronics into audience-targeting tools.

Adaptive Marketing Set to Become the Next Big Thing | MediaWorks - Advertising Age -

I tend to be leery of “the next big thing” but this is worth the read. via @adage

The entire media process…needs to become more fluid and “always-on” rather than static and sporadic.

Teens On Twitter: They're Migrating Sometimes For Privacy (via @HuffingtonPost) -

16% isn’t much, but its doubled in 2yrs. #foodforthought

It is funny that a platform that was thought to be too public for teens is starting to get some attention from the 12-17 yr old demographic because it has more anonymity than Facebook. In this article, data from the Pew Internet & American Life Project shows how privacy just might be the tipping point that gets more teens to tweet.

They can use usernames that are not their real name, they can be selective about who they follow (and vice versa) and can protect their tweets. Plus their mom is on Facebook now (thumbs down) and Ashton Kutcher is on Twitter (thumbs up). Self-expression + privacy + a backstage pass = twitter experience.
