Facebook Books $1.86B in 2010 Advertising Revenue; Muscles In on Google Turf

This post is mostly for the benefit of my less tech-savvy friends and family who think Facebook “makes no money”…

Well, they apparently took in $1.86 billion in worldwide advertising revenue for 2010. Facebook generated $1.86 billion in worldwide advertising revenue for 2010.

Article here

Not too shabby, hey, Nige? Ja, but I here Google also doesn’t make any money, since it’s free, right?

Amazon Kindle taking a swipe at Apple’s iPad

Interesting that Amazon feels the need to have a go at them - especially as Amazon also has an iPad and iPhone app!

It’s a good angle to go on though for Amazon. Their e-ink does work well in full sunlight. (Except, I wonder who reads in full sunlight anyway? Even a white paper page is hard to read in full sunlight.)

I guess Apple could now do an ad showing a Kindle user trying to read in a darkened room at night (a more likely scenario, IMHO). To spice up their ad they could have the Kindle reader wearing a head lamp or one of those clip-on Kindle accessories!).

It’s all good!

This is so funny. And impressive too. Advertising people making a good jab at themselves!

Who are you following?

Some wait to see what everybody else is doing. Others prefer to seek out their own answers. Are you a dedicated follower of no one?

Very effective VW ad, methinks.

zen bones...

Steve Mathew's Blog

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
