On Yahoo, normally they have a section right under an ad for Feedback. If you click on it, you are taken to a survey about the ad. I thought it was interesting and was wondering how many people actually submit comments with regards to an ad.
What if more ads did this? If you went to a new website, what would happen if you could give some input. What about those full page ads that pop up?

Week 10 : What did they just say?
I am sure that everyone is familiar with the ads for new prescription drugs on TV. I think it is a little funny to hear about the added side affects that the drug may cause. I mean if they have sold you on helping you do the side affects turn you off to the product? I don't know about you but if I was going to take one of these drugs I don't think that anal leakage is high on my list.
I also enjoy greatly the "see our ad in" parts. I know that the commercials are interesting, but what would tell me more about the side affects and the product, the last time I looked at a magazine it didn't tell me all of the information that is shown on a TV commercial. I think that they should change it to maybe, "also seen in". That way if someone is interested in finding out more they can simply hunt down the magazine and see what information they were interested in. Just some food for thought.

Week 9 : N-Gaged?
I have worked in the Video Game industry for the past 6 years. During this time there has been some great products that I have worked on and have been truly happy about. One of those things was the N-Gage. Okay you can bash it all you want and believe me you have every right to. There of course was this one and it just goes on and on but none the less this was going to be the next big thing. You have had a lot of commercials that show you what I thought at the time was new and got you interested in what it was.
It was at the time going to be the one of the biggest things that was going to happen. However once it was released it turned out not to be. Who would be willing to take their battery out of the phone to change games? Well Nokia listened to it's users and released the N-Gage QD.
However it seemed like it was too late and no one was going to go with the flow. The N-Gage didn't make it and in the long run it was a great idea but not too many people were going along with it. Sure there was the Nintendo DS and the beginning of the Sony PSP, but did those have phones?
Would it be different if the Sony PSP didn't come out? Would the N-Gage would have prevailed?
