“Fråga: Vilket är det viktigaste problemet att lösa? Tores svar: ”Att komma på ett bra sätt att undersöka (reklam). Kunde någon verkligen komma på hur man kan sälja mer och göra bättre reklam med hjälp av tester, så vore det en revolution. I brist på tillförlitliga testmetoder, varför inte fråga oss som måste överleva på att göra reklam?””

- Är det här stöddigt eller bara sant? (via feedly)

Jag ropar: BS!

Om reklamare aldrig har haft ett bra sätt att mäta reklam på, hur kan man då ha en aning om vad som är bra och dåligt? För då kan ju ingen någonsin veta hur reklam uppfattas eller om den åstadkommer något av det som den var avsedd att åstadkomma.

Så om inte galor och prisutdelningar är ett vetenskapligt sätt att mäta på, så är det snarare ett erkännande om att reklam inte fungerar eller snarare ingen vet vad som fungerar. Inte ens de som måste överleva på att göra reklam.

Bill and Jerry:

So there has been a wave of anger and criticism against the new Microsoft ads with Gates and Seinfeld. As usual people love making fun of Microsoft and right now I’m kind of bored with it.

The ad,…

Bookalicious: The Road

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:22:36 +0200

Read The Road on the train today. It’s dark, fantastic and everything but optimistic.

It’s a fast read but still very discomforting and thought provoking.

Bookalicious: Once you're lucky, twice you're good

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 09:59:52 +0200

So I finished Sarah Lacey’s book this morning and I didn’t love it. Not to say I hated it but it just seemed a bit to much surface and too little depth.

She makes some good points about entrepreneurship, the valley and the companies she focus on, there is some food for gossiping in there as well.

But I’m having trouble with her way of spicing it all up, twisting the facts and making it into a fictional non-fiction book. Writing what Jay Adelson thinks instead of reading him saying is making me doubt much more that it would have been an interview. Especially since most of the people in the book rarely, if ever, disclose

Google ridin' cheap?

Google ridin' cheap?: I would expect that Mozilla is getting substantially more than $58 million/year from Google in 2008. Hope so at least.

Woody Allen documents his latest movie set

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:04:00 +0200

Perhaps I can give Penélope Wednesdays and Fridays, satisfying Scarlett Tuesdays and Thursdays. Like alternate-side parking. That would leave Monday free for Rebecca, whom I stopped just in time from tattooing my name on her thigh. I’ll have a drink with the ladies in the cast after filming and set some ground rules. Maybe the old system of ration coupons could work.

Woody Allen’s Spanish Diary. Easily the funniest I’ve read this week.

Bookalicious: Bright shiny morning

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 21:51:37 +0200

Never have I read 500 pages so fast, this weekend I went cover to cover of Brigh shiny morning. James Frey’s latest.

It was hella good.

It’s rare that I’ve read a book with so grand ambitions and that goes beyond that ambition with both ease and depth.

I can only agree with the NY Times review.

Life magazine, 1947: On May Day, just after leaving her...

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 12:33:26 +0200

Life magazine, 1947:

On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. ‘He is much better off without me … I wouldn’t make a good wife for anybody,’ … Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale’s death Wiles got this picture of death’s violence and its composure.
