Minor fame

OK, so I couldnt wait to share my story (at least pretend to be impressed please!).
So, Waggy says 'you havent registered your blog' ... I say ... hhmmm what the heck did I call it?? I Google (<- my best friend) 'Sandra Luxton blog' and up pops the following: Ambient Advertising « Publication Design
Thanks to Sandra Luxton at Monash University for her paper “What is this thing ... This Tutorial Blog has a few other clever ambient ads to inspire you. ...publish.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/ambient-advertising/

So I follow the link and find the following statement: Thanks to Sandra Luxton at Monash University for her paper “What is this thing called Ambient Advertising” for her clear and concise definition."

Ha!!!!!

There's obviously millions of similar stories - but it hits home when you see your own stuff out there - don't you reckon??

Thing #2

Here's 1 view of the world:
“Web 2.0 is all the Web sites out there that get their value from the actions of users.”
Here’s my definition of Web 2.0 - a web site that makes money - because before almost no web sites were and they were still seen as being legitimate.
But seriously, web 2.0 is all about getting more interaction from users. Getting them more addicted to this socially isolating pretend world of information.
I wonder what you think about this view???

I love the many opportunities to interact with 'my' key stakeholders!! AND in my next blog - I have a funny story for you .....

Last weekend in September

Just checked Facebook - thought there would be more gloating or grimacing over the footy finals. It is a rather amazing phenomenon when you look at the crowd arriving for a football match, especially a grand final - whether you're personally in to it or not. It must be a great release of energy for many people - same for all sports I guess. Sub-culture researchers would have lots to say on this no doubt!

For me this cold and wet weekend has meant: a) good excuse for cooking, daggy old movies and nice red wine, AND b) I caught up on my '23 things' homework yay!
