US Online Ad Spend to Close in on $40 Billion US online advertising spending, which grew 23% to $32.03 billion in 2011, is expected to grow an additional 23.3% to $39.5 billion this year—pushing it ahead of total spending on print newspapers and magazines, according to new forecast by eMarketer. Print advertising spending is expected to fall to $33.8 billion in 2012 from $36 billion in 2011. eMarketer’s previous US online advertising forecast from July 2011 was among the more bullish estimates issued during the year, yet consistently stronger-than-expected results from major industry players and the IAB/PwC through the first three quarters of 2011 contributed to the upward revision. “Advertisers’ comfort level with integrated marketing is greater than ever, and this is helping more advertisers—and more large brands—put a greater share of dollars online,” said David Hallerman, eMarketer principal analyst.

Lecture - Japan prize 2002 Commemorative Lecture - Berners-Lee TimBL Exploring Universality Abstract The most important thing about the World Wide Web is that it is universal. Hardware independence, which once meant running on mainframes, minicomputers and microcomputers, now extends to a multitude of devices from watches and speech devices to big screen televisions. Introduction The concept of the Web integrated many disparate information systems, by forming an abstract imaginary space in which the differences between them did not exist. Back in 1989, before the World Wide Web, many different information systems existed. The first breakthrough was the Internet, and I can't emphasize too often that I didn't invent the Internet! The way the Web works is very simple. The Web required everyone to give a URI to their documents: a large request. Device independence That the same information should be accessible from many devices is a core rule of the Web. The direct impact of the Web was seen in its ability to cross hardware and software boundaries. Quality
ClickZ | Marketing News & Expert Advice The importance of headlines should never be overlooked, a little time spent finding the right headline can make a lot of difference.

Here are a few areas to think about when writing headlines. It should be noted though, that its not about writing sensation headlines for short-term traffic gains, it’s about ensuring that, if you write a quality article, the headline works to sell it. 1. As I mentioned in a recent post on journalism and SEO, some lamented the passing of the pun headline with the coming of the web. They were fun, and there’s nothing to stop them being used in print, but web headlines do need to be descriptive.

The Internet was the result of some visionary thinking by people in the early 1960s who saw great potential value in allowing computers to share information on research and development in scientific and military fields. When the late Senator Ted Kennedy heard in 1968 that the pioneering Massachusetts company BBN had won the ARPA contract for an "interface message processor (IMP)," he sent a congratulatory telegram to BBN for their ecumenical spirit in winning the "interfaith message processor" contract. Who was the first to use the Internet?
