Internet Vices illustrated by Patrick Moberg. Which ones are yours?

tumblr

is a bottle of wine
A quiet night in with a couple friends, and a couple of their friends. Spilling nostalgic stories, flipping through photo albums, singing favorite songs, aiming for poignancy, and occasionally stumbling onto it. Emotions flow freely and without thought.

 

twitter

is crack cocaine
Fucking ANYONE is your friend. Yuppies do it on their iPhone. Cheap. Short. Fruitless.

youtube

is shots of tequila
"Just ONE" to humor your friend quickly turns into 4 or 5. Anything and everything becomes wildly entertaining. A fun way to waste some time you won't really remember the details of. Probably for the best.

vimeo

is a tab of good acid
Everyone here is pretty nice and pretty chill. You'll witness some truly beautiful things. Sometimes emotional, visits can be long or short, but you'll leave amazed, and with a better understanding of the world.

facebook

is a vodka cranberry
Social lubricant used to enhance still developing social etiquette. You're aware of your uninhibited actions, but comforted by the built in safety net of excuses.

myspace

is huffing spray paint
Destroys any chance of looking credible. You will be perceived as having the mindset of a middle schooler, and probably do.

digg

is bong hits of weed
Sensationalist political and religious talk. Plans of overthrowing mass media fall prey to collective laziness. Obsess over some "mind blowing" HDR photography.

gmail

is caffeine pills
Great for a quick pick me up to stimulate productivity, but ultimately leaves you exhausted and relying on it.

So what’s the catch? The only catch is money. As long as you’re willing to pay the minimum of $20 a day, Reddit will enter you into a pool with everyone else willing to pay to determine how much face time you’ll get on the homepage. For example, if the total bids for the day equal $200, and you bid the minimum $20, you’ll get 10% of the day in this ad slot. It seems very likely that the daily bids are going to be quite a bit more than that, so $20 probably isn’t going to buy you much, but still, it will get you something.

It seems as if Reddit has adopted the same ad model that I played with at a startup a few years ago. I actually wrote a post about this earlier this week, and an in-depth review of what we did and how it worked on my works blog just last week.

Reddit has essentially adpoted the "variable CPM" model that I talked about. Well, not essentially. It is. Someone has finally gone ahead and done it. I knew it was just a matter of time before advertising itself became democratized. I actually wrote an email to both Digg and Reddit about this after Digg launched their Digg Ads platform. I never heard back. I wonder if someone over at Reddit read my email.

I'm definitely interested to learn out how this pans out for Reddit. We always thought that for individuals, the model was most compelling if you aggregated all their content together to create a larger pool of impressions; but for huge networks (like Reddit) the model actually works better if it's reversed. That is, if the advertiser can choose which individual page it is they want to place their ad on and you have multiple pools going on for every given piece of content. This way there is an incentive for people to advertise on stories and content that they speculate might become popular or viral, so they can catalyze on the low initial cost of those impressions before everyone else joins the pool. Of course, this requires a more transparent marketplace and the ability to actually track what's going on in real time, but it's completely possible – I should know.

I guess my post on Monday really was spot on. Thanks, Reddit.

Andy has been podcasting for some time and so we had a great chat about the Mac and Podcasting. Andy is responsible for SDR News which is SlashDot Review. SDR News is a Daily Monday to Friday Technology Podcast with Tech News Highlights from Slashdot, Digg and Reddit. It is a 12 to 14 minute podcast.

Here are a couple of examples of the news from SDRNews

DVR is TV's New BFF | Electronic Frontier Foundation
IT snake oil: Six tech cure-alls that went bunk
TV Finds That a Mortal Foe, the DVR, Is Really a Best Friend - NYTimes.com

He also has CMS Weekly in which he talks about Joomla, Drupal, Alfresco and Wordpress for example.

He actually started podcasting with a Dell computer and a gamer mic, he has a long relationship with the Mac though and as we know the Mac is the best way to go for making podcasts. He edits audio with a few different audio applications including ProTools, he like the encoder to mp3 in that one, find out more in the podcast. The Heil PR40 takes a bow again, it is a very popular mic for the podcasters.He tells me that he still has the packaging for nearly all of the Apple Products he has ever bought.

Andy is getting more interested in making videos now, visiting tech trade show, to interview people, strangely he is using the iSight camera to record them and then send them straight out with UStream video.

He tells me about he favourite applications on the Mac, things like CamTwist, AmadeusPro, Pro Tools, Audacity even?? Andy, like me struggles a bit with Automator, we both think it is a great concept though. Just need a problem to solve with Automator.

With ad:tech New York coming up next week, excitement is building; and I'm especially looking forward to meeting with Digg's Bob Buch to get a deeper understanding of Digg Ads.  It's a brand new "platform", and targeting options are currently extremely limited, but with over 40 million unique members; and very low CPCs, Digg Ads could turn out to be a formidable player in the Social PPC space.

I'll be posting notes from my meeting with Digg next week, so if you have questions you'd like me to ask, let me know. You can post them in the comments section below, or send me a tweet at http://www.twitter.com/iano1000.
In the meantime, here are three of the better articles that have recently covered Digg Ads:

I was talking with a friend of mine, Nate Davis, a few weeks ago and we stumbled onto something rather perplexing. A lot of brands spend a tremendous amount of time and money trying to create viral videos. Why? They are extremely expensive to produce and usually end up being anything but viral. They usually outright fail. But if you want to send a message without the support of paid media, how do you do it?

A few brands have discovered that you don't have to sink tens of thousands of dollars into production in order to send a message viral. You can do it with an image. If you’re a connoisseur of cliché Internet buzzwords, you might know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about infographs.

Making an infograph is relatively cheap and easy. How many stunning infographics could you make for the cost of a single viral video? Ten? Fifty? A hundred? If they’re relevant, you’ve got a good chance at getting half of them plastered all over Digg, Reddit, and Delicious. They are also easier to embed on blogs and you don’t have to worry about how to get them to display on devices that don’t support Adobe Flash, like the iPhone.

Moreover, it’s just better format for most brands to use on a regular basis. You can be blunt about what it is you want to say. As long as you can make it visually compelling, people will want to spend time with it. You don’t have to try to trick the consumer into watching it or sharing it. The brand itself can speak, and what it says can be, not only genuinely interesting to the consumer, but helpful. With an infographic a brand can come out and say: This is who we are, this is what we’re interested in, and this is what we think is true about the world.

Mint has been pumping out infographics like mad for the past few months. They are a great example of a company who understands how it is people are sharing information online, and how to actually inject themselves into the conversation. Bravo, Mint. Bravo.
