Google 重登全球最有影響力品牌
【2006/01/23 經濟日報】
網路搜尋引擎Google擊敗蘋果電腦，榮膺2005年全球最有影響力的品牌，奪回一年前敗給蘋果電腦的王座，eBay(電子灣)買下的網路電話服務業者Skype初試啼聲，即勇奪第三。
根據線上品牌定位雜誌Brandchannel.com訪調2,528位專家與學生的結果，受訪者回答去年什麼品牌對大家的生活最有影響時，跟科技有關的品牌特別突出。
搜尋引擎Google公司2003年就曾排名第一，2005年奪回前一年讓給蘋果電腦的寶座，將蘋果電腦打落到第二。
提供免費網路電話的Skype奪得全球最有影響力品牌的第三名，無所不在的星巴克連鎖咖啡店排名第四，瑞典家具連鎖店宜家家居公司排名第五。
Brandchannel.com的調查結果經常引發爭議，例如，2004年把阿拉伯的半島電視台列為世界影響力第5大的品牌，即引起爭議（今年降為第25名）。
不過，這項調查並未計算經濟品牌價值，如果計入品牌所代表的金錢價值，通常是由可口可樂公司掄元。
同時該調查也未說明品牌影響力是正面或負面，因此獲選者者不見得能因此增光。
Brandchannel以地區來分類，北美地區的前三名依序是蘋果、Google和星巴克，零售業者Target排名第四，自行車賽明星阿姆斯壯（Lance Armstrong）的同名品牌名列第五。
歐洲地區則由芬蘭手機大廠諾基亞公司拔得頭籌，其次是宜家家居 (Ikea)、Skype、西班牙Inditex集團旗下的流行服飾品牌Zara與德國寶馬汽車公司（BMW）。
亞洲前五名分別是日本Sony公司、豐田汽車公司、南韓三星集團、南韓樂金集團與香港匯豐控股公司。
拉丁美洲最具影響力的品牌不是高科技，而是飲料品牌Corona與Bacardi，提供手機服務的Movistar緊追在後，涼鞋製造商Havaianas排名第四，墨西哥建材大廠Cemex名列第五。

Google buys into radio advertising
Google buys into radio advertising
By David Bradshaw
Taken from Ovum EuroView, 18 January
Google has agreed to buy dMarc Broadcasting, a privately-owned, California-based automated booking and scheduling service for radio advertisements. Google is paying $102 million up-front, though performance-related payments mean there is scope for the final price to rise as high as $1.24 billion.
Google says that it plans to integrate dMarc's advertising placement system with its own AdSense placement system. The plan is to open up radio advertising to a new set of advertisers, something that dMarc was already working on but which Google can supercharge.
Comment: This is a very wise move - it plays to Google's core strengths of steering ad placements while diversifying into a new market. There's an old adage that marketing managers typically know that half their advertising budget is wasted - they just don't know which half. Google seems to be trying to make sure that whichever half is seen as wasted, it will still get the other half, especially if its attempts to diversify into newspaper advertising and (as rumoured) play into TV advertising succeed.
Adding other media to its portfolio makes perfect sense for Google for another reason. Both Google's core web-based revenue earners, AdWords and AdSense, are under attack from click fraud. Of course, Google is continuously stepping up its efforts to combat click fraud, but the fraudsters are also getting continuously more professional and sophisticated. The best that Google can hope for is a draw, but there are voices saying that it could come off the worst, which would undermine its core revenues.
On one crucial element the press release is silent: what will happen to Chad and Ryan Steelberg, founders of dMarc? This is the third advertising-based business that these two brothers have set up and sold for a pretty penny. If we were Google, we'd make sure that the sweetest and thickest set of golden handcuffs we could find were placed on the wrists of this pair of innovators.

蓋世英雄 >> 王力宏
這次不再稱讚周董
他擁有太多的好屌名聲
聽聽看 黃綠紅
喔不
是王力宏
的蓋世英雄
前幾張 聽的出來王力宏努力想要蛻變
面對陶吉吉與Jay的比較壓力
國語流行音樂能融合的
似乎離不開中國元素
但是當大家都一窩瘋的加入中國瘋
差別 在於你能掌握的
有多深入文化背景與音樂概念
這樣的能力 不是短時間可以練就
很高興 這一張專輯
我們的LeeHom可以漸入佳境 游刃自如
在梅邊 演譯的是崑劇,京劇中的漸快
對Rap來說 這樣的特色剛好吻合
而重點 其實還是在意境的傳達
學到貫通 學到骨子裡
就是要能夠去掉皮 去掉外表的詞藻編曲
還讓歌聲有了背景與畫面
不過 Kiss GoodBye 副歌還真的像愛情多瑙河,大城小愛也很像讓我歡喜讓我憂
雖然幾個小節的曲雷同 也是很平常
只是 這樣多少也會讓人增加印象 琅琅上口
偶爾用這招還不錯 哈
好樣的 王力宏 ~
用京劇道白念
霸氣傲中原 王者揚烽煙
力拔山河天 宏威征凱旋
idea 不算新
但是 算是可以跟之前Jay的完美主義哼唱周杰倫
有一別高下的味道
