Microsft's new technogogy, the IllumiShare allows the user to interact with other IllumiShare users in a way that has never happened before. One of the examples that this article brought out that I thought was really cool, is that you can play a game like chess, that has real chess pieces, but with someone across the world. I think that is pretty impressive.

M & M's

I liked this advertisement because it's talking about how you can communicate through M&Ms because they have letters on them now. The ad had a keyboard made of M&Ms, which was cool.

GM had a commercial in the Super Bowl of when the apocalypse will hit, saying Ford owners wont survive. Ford got another beat down when Chrysler's commercial saying if you take this and that away from a Dodge Ram, and you have a F-150. This negative advertising is also in the milk and soft drink business.

McDonalds is changing their quality perception
http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2012/02/mcdonalds-looks-to-boost-quali.html
McDonalds serves 68million people everyday, but how many people do you know that are proud to admit going to McDonalds? To fix this view, McDonalds is addressing issues related to food quality, sustainability practices, nutritional value, practises, suppliers treatment of animals, condition of stores, and service. Will this change people's perception of McDonalds?

Target Figured Out a Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did

Target has a system in which every customer is assigned a guest ID number based on credit card number or email address. Depending on what women buy, then can estimate the percentage of how pregnant she is, and then begin sending coupons for things like cribs, diapers, and baby clothing in the mail.
This happened to a young girl in Minneapolis, and her father called in extrememly upset, accusing Target of encouraging the girl to get pregnant. Target apologized, but the father called back soon after to state "things were going on in his house that he was not aware of".

Rising Wages Killing Jobs
Albany Democrats are determined to push a 17 percent hike in New York's minimum wage. After The Post and The New York Times ran stories about the hike, many businesses weighed in. Many businesses are against the hike because it will kill jobs since small business are not able to be profitable with current staffing after the hike.

The PS Vita

I think that some people, like serious gamers, will definitely buy the new PS Vita. But the fact that people have access to free apps and games on their phones will decrease the amount of PS Vitas sold. Especially because it is pretty expensive A new PS Vita with wi-fi is $249, and a 3G version is $299. That is not even including the price of games. They range from $9.99-$49.99 . So in the end, I don't think that Sony will get the results that they need, because why buy a PS Vita when you can just play a game on your phone?

PlayStation Vita
I think that using all of the methods listed, Sony will be able to reach the target market, mostly because of all the different ways therye advertising it. they know to put up commercials for it for the target groups, like in comedy central shows, and basketball, and probably most importantly, on social media websites. i think Sony has the right idea on how to sell their products.
PS vita
I think i already like it. I was disenchanted with play station after the PS3 came out, but this looks like its going some were. At least it will be better the playing netendogs on the DS. haha

PSVita
This is a very interesting device that Sony has come out with. They really have met the demanding market for electronic devices which is why i think they will be able to target their market. If i had a PS3 then I would be all over this but unfortunately I am with Xbox.
PlayStation Vita
I honestly couldn't care less about this. I've never been into video games, and I think they're a waste of time. However, the fact that you can play video games on a phone now will be detrimental to the PS Vita. Why would someone go buy an expensive new device when they can get Angry Birds for a couple of dollars on their phone?
Playstation Vita
Since it is years ago they launched the PSP which is the older version of an hand held Playstation, the Vita will probably be huge for gamers out there.
So when you leave your home and your Playstation 3, you can take up your PS Vita and then continue your gaming while you are using the public transport or whatever.
I think it is going to be a success for Sony, and people will buy their product.

I'm not sure if they will be able to reach there intended customers just because of all the technology like phones. I didn't really know 20 year olds played video games i thought it was more of a high school faze... but i think they will be able to sucker in a bunch of high school kids to get it. Gamers are usually pretty dedicated...

PlayStation Vita
I dont think Sony is going to be very successful in sales for this product. They say the traget market is men in their 20's who play video games 8 hours a day, and have a PlayStation 3. The issue with this is that many men that age are off working hard, in college, or just have more important things to do. I would target the teens because they have more spending money (from parents, jobs, etc.) to spend and also usually have more time and desire to play video games.

Sex Ed Classes Less Effective in Certain States
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2097878/Sex-ed-classes-effective-red-states-study-shows-higher-teen-birth-rate.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Studies show that sexual education classes in conservative states are less effective; proven by the fact that teen pregnancy rates are higher in these states than in liberal ones. Religious beliefs are said to be a major factor in this. This goes to show that teaching abstinence is very possibly less effective than teaching contraception.

Funny commercial during super bowl
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8_ea4pXQh8
This ad was a serious catcher and will be remembered very well since it is just so darn funny. The only reason this ad works and will generate the revenue is because it will be remembered cause it is not something that will be easily forgotten.

Best and Worst Superbowl commercials

I think that this website did really good determining which ads were a waste, and which ones were good. I personally really did like the Ferris Bueler's Day Off commercial. I love the movie and I thought the ad was good. I will definitely remember it.

Super Bowl Ads Fell Short
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/06/business/media/super-bowl-commercials-from-charming-to-smarmy.html?_r=1&ref=advertisingandmarketing
I kind of agree with this journalist because it seems that every year they post identical ads as previous years and it's getting old. Super Bowl ads have a name they have to keep up from past years but this year should have been a different kind of comedy, but that unfortunately didn't happen.

Superbowl ads 2012
The Superbowl ads 2012 were not really good..
They were not as funny as the previous years, only the M&M's one were funny.
I did not like them at all compared to the other Superbowls we had, normally they spend more money and more time I guess to make them stand out and to make people laugh.
Over all rating on the commercials, i'll give them 2/5 stars. The did not impress me at all, there were maybe 2-3 commercials that were funny.
I also saw that some of the commercials the companies worked together, example. one of them had Twinkies in it even though it was not a Twinkies commercial.

superbowl ad lamesauce
Usually, during the super bowl, the ads are funny and all around amazing. However, this year, there was maybe 1 or 2 ads that were even slightly good. i cant even remember any, none of them stuck with me. i think that with the price that people have to pay for an advertising time during the super bowl, why not just go ahead and at least make it interesting or fun to watch, but thats just my opinon

very few funny or good super bowl ad's
i watched several ad's from the super bowl online and a few live and over all i have to say that i was disapponted. i found many of them to be just plain, given they werent all terrible but i feel if these companys are going to pay this much for a slot then they may as well take the time to make them memerable.

Super Bowl Commercials 2012: What are the most anticipated TV ads?
http://www.mlive.com/tv/index.ssf/2012/02/super_bowl_commercials_2012_wh.html
The most anticipated commercials for the Super Bowl were Priceline-The Negotiator, Sketchers-Dog Racing, Kia Optima "A Dream Car. For Real Life" , and Ferris Bueller-Honda CR-V. None of these seemed to catch much of my attention. This year the commercials and half time show were not as good as previous years in my opinion.

Make-Up brands for Young girls
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/02/fashion/it-starts-with-lip-gloss-grade-schoolers-and-makeup.html?_r=1&ref=advertisingandmarketing
I think that this was a very interesting article. But what is even more interesting is how some may think that it is wrong for a company to design beauty products, especially anti-aging products for young girls. I definitely understand why some would think of it as innapropriate, I think that it is a good idea. Not neccesarily the anti-aging products, but the make-up. Girls in their pre-teens will naturally want to wear make-up, at least with these products designed for them, they will be able to wear make-up that represents their age.

Twitter or Facebook?
http://www.investorplace.com/2012/02/could-teen-tweets-curtail-facebooks-growth-aapl-yhoo-goog/
A larger percentage of teens are now starting to use Twitter rather than Facebook, a lot of it due to privacy issues. Facebook is a major online advertiser, and may lose a lot of money if people start switching to Twitter, or Google+: sites that you can post to a group of people, not your entire friends or followers list. After all, who wants mom & dad seeing everything that you post?

Second Hand Smoke
http://www.chilloutpoint.com/images/2010/07/anti-tobacco-advertisements/anti-tobacco-advertisements-05.jpg
This ad is a very emotional ad because it really makes you question weather your harming your kid or not. It's really effective because they didn't go the indirect path they just bluntly showed what happens when you smoke around your kid, and i feel this to be true.

Superbowl ad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUFSHzT2xuY
They use a lot of famous people for this/these ads, so I think it is pretty cool and creative.
It will also make you laugh a little, so that would be a good ad to show for the Big Game!

Lip Gloss
I don't think that kids that young need to be wearing makeup. At that point in life, there isn't really a reason for people to wear makeup. They need to show their natural beauty--that's the best kind of makeup anyway.
Lip gloss....
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/02/fashion/it-starts-with-lip-gloss-grade-schoolers-and-makeup.html?_r=2&ref=advertisingandmarketing
Girls that age really have no reason to be wearing makeup they are young and that is when you should be the most okay with yourself. They shouldn't be already trying to change them selves they have all of high school and middle school for that. They should be happy and carefree yeah some take an interest at it when they are young but they shouldn't force the others to follow them. They are beautiful with out make up.

Flying People Advertise Movie
http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/flying-people-stun-yorkers-promote-movie-chronicle-194823215.html
I saw caught by the idea of this! These people are advertising a movie called "Chronicle." I thought it was a cool idea and really made people stop to watch and wonder what was happening. Would you go see this movie after seeing how the company was advertising it?
