Still, ads pointing inside Facebook cost 29% less, and ads that specifically ask users to become a fan of a Page cost 45% less than those linking anywhere else. Why is Facebook offering this incentive? Because internally pointed ads keep users on the site where they can continue to be exposed to ads.

Moreover, Sponsored stories are getting a 46% higher CTR, which is a win-win situation both for investors and Facebook itself.

Where is all this going? If prices keep rising, we’ll see which new advertising markets investors will invade. Twitter, for instance.

Yes, it happens. Or, it may happen. This technology has been well known for a couple of years in the US but none has used it in Italy so far.

Advertising by choice is their claim. By clicking on anything inside a video, you can get information and buy it. This allows to separate those who want to consume the ad and those who don’t. Everything in real time.

Here you can try this Hyperspots thing. Wow!!!

I’m in love with Yooouuutuuube. See an example here.

Moreover, take a look at the other projects of these guys. Like, uh, Tetris in first person.

You can type in and select the topic you’d like to create a Qwiki about. The software automatically reads selected information from different websites and grabs associated pictures on the subject.

The product launch featured 3 million qwikis, and you can now look for a lot more.

Let’s see where this goes. Will I be able to update my qwiki by myself or is it going to be automatic?

1. Connect your webcam
2. Login with Twitter
3. Click the broadcast button

And then?

• The app posts your video description and link to Twitter for all your followers to see.
• While broadcasting, chat with your viewers via Twitter right from your broadcast page.
• Once you’re done going live, your video is archived and available on the same page.

The more popular your topic is, the better. Like, “Police brutality at Occupy“.

If I were a journalist I’d use it all the time.

Moreover, Storify is now a WordPress plugin! Now you can embed your stories into WordPress with a couple of clicks.

Enjoy!

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,000 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 33 trips to carry that many people.

Found on Business Insider.

Just the best comments are used, of course. In the comments to the pilot someone asked the female protagonist to eat a banana, and she did it on episode #1.

Best wishes to the Jackal!
