Google TV Ads has, to be honest, seemed doomed for some time now; a precedent was set when Google Audio Ads and Google Print Ads were shut down earlier this year. But a new advertising deal with CNBC may prove to be both a saving grace and key to future growth.
First Ann Coulter, now Newsweek’s Dan Lyons, otherwise known as Fake Steve Jobs. The former cried banishment from NBC before clawing her way back onto the Today show. The latter confirmed to WebProNews he was banned from CNBC after a fiery tirade against Silicon Valley Bureau Chief Jim Goldman for getting “bullied,” “played and punked” by Apple about CEO Steve Jobs’ health.
“It’s true I’m banned,” Lyons said via email.
LinkedIn wasn't always one of the social networks known for having all the bells and whistles. In fact, only until recently, it didn't have an applications platform, an ad network, or other features that make sites like Facebook and MySpace so popular.
LinkedIn.com - a social site for professionals - is partnering with CNBC to integrate news and other content. LinkedIn has over 27 million members but until now has had very little community-buildling or social networking features.Currently on LinkedIn you can email other professionals, ask them questions, and give or get recommendations from people in your network. Now you’ll also be able to share information with them - something that is happening informally anyway.
The LinkedIn network is all about business. CNBC has the word right in its name ("Consumer News And Business Channel"). So a new partnership between the two entities seems logical as well as productive.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt believes that showing fewer ads does not necessarily lead to less revenue.In an interview with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, Schmidt said," If we show fewer ads that are more targeted, those ads are worth more. So we're in this strange situation where we show a smaller number of ads and we make more money because we show better ads. And that's the secret of Google."
Last week I was on CNBC twice. Once on “Fast Money” and once on Donny Deutsch’s “The Big Idea.” The Fast Money segment has been torn apart on the Internet but Roger Ehrenberg of the Information Arbitrage blog had the most intelligent analysis of it.
Yahoo wants to beef up its leading Finance site with videos, and will add CNBC content to the mix.
Customers with credit cards to burn found some of Yahoo's merchants unable to process orders due to problems with the underlying technology.
