Like I mentioned on my other post about the writer's guild, it's going to be exciting what they come up with online. I'd be interested to know how those geeks monetize and if they are raking in the big bucks... it amazes me with the ingenuity (tricks?) of some people - did you watch the first Youtube video with the bit about the pink ribbon breast cancer campaign (2 min. mark)? I wouldn't necessarily download a toolbar, but I have been known to click on ads for non profit blogs... Nancy, isn’t it the brave new frontier!?

I rent office space from "workspace" and most of the others working there are geeks, several of whom have made Facebook app's. Every couple months they host a 'democamp' where they show off their apps and discuss monetization. It's really fun, and very interesting. Personally speaking, I basically never read the paper anymore or watch TV --- it's all online for me. I don't click on the traditional ads, but as you put it, 'engage me' and you have a customer. It doesn't always have to be hard, either. Just give me an opportunity to convince myself that the product is something of benefit to me (no room for bullshit) and I'll fork over the cash. I can't wait to see what unfolds in the next couple years. what an interesting post.
