Dax Pandhi's nAesthetic - MSN self advertising

Thursday, December 29, 2005

Carefully look at the picture below. On top, marked in red, you will see the title of application. On the bottom, also marked in red, you will see an advertisement for the application itself.

C'mon, how hard can selective/filtered advertising be? This is like a commercial of a TV show being shown WHILE THAT SHOW IS ON. I mean, that's just stupid. Where the hell is all the personalization we keep hearing about, huh?

Purely Idiotic Stuff

This drives me nuts -- I'm trying out the new hotmail beta, and every advertisement is for itself. It makes me think the click-through rate is going to be pretty low. Or, maybe it's just a "stupid meter test" -- i.e., if you click through, they disconnect you from MSN as not being qualified to use the service?
