I am really not sure how facebook became so popular, i think last year at this only a handful of people had accounts, and now everyone and their dog are logging on.
That being said, facebook is a brilliant means on which to advertise. All the demographics and psychographics are already there. I think though that facebook is not being used to its full potential. I think facebook could lend very well to spam, pop ups, and not to mention applications which advertise specific products.

Guerilla Advertising
An interesting development in the world of advertising is the guerilla tactic. Where once advertisements were confided to where one would expect them, in a newspaper, or on a bill board,we now find our selves constantly bombarded. Even a man hole becomes fare game in our evolving culture.
Through I see the commercial benefit of being able to attract the attention of the consumer, and I appreciate the art that goes into creating these advertisements; I really must say enough is enough. To be perfectly honest I appreciate when some one takes a usual forum for advertising and against the odds still manages to attract my attention by developing a excellent ad.
After all, as advertisers is that not what we should be doing - developing excellent ads? Anyone can attract attention by dropping a over sized tennis ball onto a wrecked car, but how easy is it to sell a new brand of tooth paste, when given a half page ad in the middle of a 200 page magazine.
As some on who enjoys advertising, even I am getting sick of these constant assault on aesthetic decency and good taste. Let us return to the ways of yesteryear, and leave the ads where they belong.

Blog 1
A blog is short for web log, and anyone can use a blog to post pictures, information, opinions, et cetera.
I dislike blogs.
I feel that hey have no real use, the content of blogs are simply peoples opinions and are not necessarily routed in fact. Any time that I am looking for information I most certainly do not use a blog to gather that information.
