Re: Can the Ad be the Product? - AXE Releases New, Interactive iAd

How come in order for a man-product to be sexy it needs to feature a sexy woman? Interesting. I guess it goes with the saying, "Behind every successful man is a successful woman."

Chase,

I just noticed you Filedby guys left the building and moved to Green Hills. No more sweet Harris Teeter deals for you then, eh?

Hey, to go along with your post I just created a post about all the Foursquare Badges you can get living in Nashville. I'm sure the trend will be short lived, but fun nonetheless. Come check it out:

Re: Why The Beatles Are Still "Nowhere Men" with iTunes

Wade Holmes — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:04:46 -0000

I really enjoyed this article. One, I really agree that a band like the Beatles would have so jumped on the current media outlets if they had access to them. (Your illustration of John’s ”Who wants to change the world today?” Twitter-feed was spot-on.) But, more than that, you were pointing to a common misconception that people have of older artists... people don't realize that those artists used all the outlets that were available to them in their time period and for some reason people think that if those same artists were young today they wouldn't do the same thing now.

As for the current discussion of when the Beatles will go digital. I think the original issues of Apple "stealing" the Beatles corporate name even while promising to never go near the music industry is now not the issue. (I know that was a big issue, but I think that is obviously a distraction from the bigger issue by the Beatles camp at this point.) Though, I fully agree with the significance of their albums and songs like "Tomorrow Never Knows" (as an example) getting lost in a world of download-able Beatles music. My simple hope would be that the Beatles would finally join iTunes and would only sell their albums in the album format. Everything that got re-mastered about a year and a half ago would be the only thing offered and you could only buy it as an album and the individual songs are not for sell. This would open up a really interesting debate in the current albums-versus-singles debate in the music industry (it would be interesting to see if other album-loving artists followed suit… it wouldn’t exactly be the first thing in which the Beatles have led the music industry). And, while the albums-versus-singles debate is obviously swinging back to a more 1950's through mid-1960's (or, more technically a pre-Beatles era) style of singles-over-albums music sells, it would be really interesting to see what effect that would have on other artists if the Beatles did that and it went well. There are obviously albums on iTunes for which you can only purchase the album and not the individual tracks (I know, for now, most of these albums are in categories like jazz and classical where artists don’t want to sell a 25-minute song for 99-cents so they make you buy the whole album which has only three songs on it, but nonetheless it’s still in the very believable realm of possibility). I know this is basically a far too simplistic approach to solving this issue... but I think is at least a part of protecting their brand, while also more effectively sharing (and continuing to keep relevant) the Beatles brand with each new generation of music fans.

Re: Sports Illustrated iPad App – An Exercise in Beautiful Functionality

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 19:08:52 -0000

Josh, I totally understand your initial qualms with the iPad. In essence, it is a big iPhone, or maybe the iPhone is a small iPad? Either way, the added size and speed of the iPad allows functionality beyond what the phone can do (or at least what the phone can do well).

The price point is probably the biggest hindrance to the would-be iPad buyer, especially those that currently tout the iPhone. I work in the digital space, so an iPad was a no-brainer, but if I didn't have my profession to justify my expense, I'm not sure if the iPad would have been in my shopping cart either (atleast not until Mr. Jobs gives the OK for a price drop).

The app looks like it is well developed - and $5 isn't too bad - but I still don't see the value in a $500+ super-sized iPhone considering all of the other techie devices I have.
