Speaking of online search engines, aren't those commercials for the new Bing.com search engine annoying or what?
Just wait, MS is spending $100 million over the next 3 years to promote Bing!

If people were actually turned off by being annoyed, instead of being attracted, then advertisers wouldn't use that mechanism. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22648557 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:38:50 EDT Re: Wow talk about intrusive ads & desperate for ratings http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22648528 Roche1972 :

Advertising overlays are going to be a new form of advertising, immune from commercial avoidance that regular commercial breaks suffer from. Up until now, overlays have just been used to advertise other programming on the same channel, but I've recently seen overlays used for other types of advertising, even for an online search engine.

So currently Ted Turner has no ownership of the Braves at all.

It is getting to the point that if Viacom/Disney can get their hands on it, they are going for it.

As I've already written to a few channels, such as the History channel - if you ruin the show I've elected to watch by displaying a stupid overlay, I will change the channel and it will take a lot for me to switch back. It will definitely not entice me to watch or buy whatever you're peddling in the overlay - just the opposite. Remember the Axemen overlay's on the History channel? Never have seen an episode of Axeman to this day.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22647222 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:38:01 EDT Re: Wow talk about intrusive ads & desperate for ratings http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22646980 bicker : Advertising overlays are going to be a new form of advertising, immune from commercial avoidance that regular commercial breaks suffer from.

Any idea why it's showing up? Is that from Comcast?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22646244 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:05:33 EDT
