Inspiration for future JFM product logos. [thx kottke]

“Imagine a combination of Space Invaders and Pokémon. You play Space Invaders but the Invaders are being randomly generated. As soon as an unknown Invader appears, you can choose to ‘adopt’ it.”

“Most Internet entrepreneurs and their funders are identical to real-estate speculators…”

“Without promotion, the shows are getting fewer than 10,000 views, no better than when we last checked in on the series, after nine episodes. Assuming that Cook’s publisher Penguin and the sponsor Dodge are paying the production costs for “Foreign Body,” which run $10,000 an episode, they’re paying a $400 CPM–pretty high, by anyone’s standard.”

“GM, historically among the nation’s top two advertisers, dropped to fourth last year with estimated measured and unmeasured ad spending of $3 billion, according to Ad Age estimates. Of that, $2 billion was measured media, including $197 million for online ads…”
