<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#dc143c;">Dear Blog,</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#dc143c;">I spent a majority of the day teaching myself how to create a Google TV Ad using the software Spot Mixer.  It was a lot of fun and reminded me why I started my business &#8212; it allows me to be more creative than my day job does.  There will be lots of work this weekend setting up new &#8220;social media&#8221; marketing channels to try to reach my target audience online.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#dc143c;">In the meantime, my 6th grader attended her first middle school dance tonight.  It seems like it was only yesterday that I was being dropped off at my middle school dance &#8230; can you hear those great KC and the Sunshine Band tunes?  Boy do I feel like dancing now!!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#dc143c;">Cheers!<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__LRoj2EQI/AAAAAAAABWI/B0MHSVL7OQA/s1600-h/easter-egg-adobe-photoshop-cs2.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__LRoj2EQI/AAAAAAAABWI/B0MHSVL7OQA/s400/easter-egg-adobe-photoshop-cs2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">El Mono Espacial de Adobe Photoshop CS2, uno de los Easter Eggs más conocidos</p>
<p>En informática, <span style="font-weight:bold;">los huevos de pascua (easter eggs)</span> son mensajes, gráficos, efectos de sonido, o cambios inusuales en el comportamiento de los programas, que se producen luego de introducir ciertos comandos no documentados, clics con el ratón, o combinaciones de teclas. Se utilizó inicialmente el término huevo de pascua para describir a los mensajes ocultos en el código objeto de un programa por diversión, y que sólo podían encontrar aquellos que desensamblaban o navegaban por el código.</p>
<p></span></div>
<p>Fuente: <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,142620-page,18-c,google/article.html">aquí.</a></p>
<p>Si se dan una vuelta por Eeggs.com, encontrareis una colección bastante nutrida de Huevos de Pascua (Easter Eggs) encontrados en infinidad de programas como Word, Excel, Adobe Photoshop, Winamp y varios otros. En esta ocasión, navegantes, os presento los mejores Huevos de Pascua de una de las páginas de internet más usadas del mundo entero.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GNYj2D9I/AAAAAAAABT0/5iuH0wJy6Vk/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-conejo.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GNYj2D9I/AAAAAAAABT0/5iuH0wJy6Vk/s400/google-easter-eggs-conejo.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">El conejo cojehuevos XD</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">El Juego de &#8220;Huevo de Pascua&#8221; Oficial de Google:</span> Una cosa es buscar Huevos de Pascua, y otra cosa es atraparlos.  En época de Pascua, Google subió <a href="http://www.google.com/Easter/feature_easter.html">su juego de huevos cayendo</a>, donde, manejando un conejo, tienen que saltar arriba, abajo, a un lado y al otro para intentar poner todos los huevos en una canasta. El único punto real de este juego es atrapar huevos hasta que formen la palabra G-O-O-G-L-E. Y no hay chocolates para los ganadores.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GgIj2EFI/AAAAAAAABU0/JLmmqTvb0H0/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-nessie.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GgIj2EFI/AAAAAAAABU0/JLmmqTvb0H0/s400/google-easter-eggs-nessie.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">¡El Monstruo del Lago Ness existe!</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Algo tenebroso justo a las 3 a.m.:</span> Pueden tomar el camino difícil (o el fácil) hacia el Lago Ness de Escocia, con la esperanza de divisar al elusivo Nessie, el legendario monstruo del que se dice reside ahi. Pero si prefieren ver a la bestia mítica en casa en las primeras horas de la mañana, pongan su alarma a las 3:14 a.m. (la hora local del país en donde estén; <a href="http://atormentado74.blogspot.com/">Atormentado</a>, a ver si te haces un printscreen XD) y su buscador en la página iGoogle con el tema Playa. A esa hora precisa cada día, Nessie emerge por 60 segundos, luego toma un profundo respiro y se sumerge de vuelta a la oscura superficie del lago. ¿Por qué a esa hora de la madrugada? De acuerdo con las costumbres de los programadores, los desarrolladores de Google lo hicieron para rendir homenaje al <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BAmero_%CF%80">número matemático Pi</a> (<span style="font-weight:bold;">3.14</span>159265&#8230;). Otras páginas temáticas de iGoogle tienen sus propios Huevos de Pascua. En el tema Temporal, auroras boreales aparecen a las 3:14 a.m. En el tema Ciudad se ve un OVNI descender. Un monstruo aparece en el tema Primavera, y en el tema La Casa del Te, espíritus de zorros parecidos a fantasmas (bastante conocidos en el folklore japonés) aparecen y desaparecen en la nieble del lago mientras el zorro duerme. Pueden ver varios ejemplos <a href="http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/03/easter-egg-in-google-personalized.html">aquí</a>.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Búsquedas de Google en Klingon o Fudd:</span> Las Naciones Unidas tal vez no reconozcan el <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioma_klingon">Klingon</a> como un lenguaje, pero eso no ha sido impedimento para que Google homenajeara a las especies ficticias de antropomorfos extraterrestres de la serie Viaje a las Estrellas (Star Trek) con un <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/xx-klingon/">motor de búsqueda especializado en Klingon</a>.  Tampoco previno que Google desarrollara una gama de interfaces de motores de búsqueda especializados, que incluyen a <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/xx-elmer/">Elmer Fudd</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/">H4&#215;0r L337</a> y <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Latin para Cerdos</span> <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/xx-piglatin/">Pig Latin</a> (un juego de idioma en inglés, la explicación <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_Latin">aquí</a>&#8230; corregido mi error de traducción, gracias a una observación &#8220;lolaza&#8221; de Ferran Fompi en los comentarios ^^). Google también provee buscadores especializados que homenajean a los humanos y a otros que buscan información respecto a <a href="http://www.google.com/microsoft">Microsoft</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/linux">Linux</a> y <a href="http://www.google.com/bsd">BSD Unix</a>.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GfYj2EDI/AAAAAAAABUk/MO7s52zri5g/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-gulp.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GfYj2EDI/AAAAAAAABUk/MO7s52zri5g/s400/google-easter-eggs-gulp.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">Si Google no encuentra lo que buscas, tal vez el problema seas tu</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Google Gulp para una Búsqueda más Inteligente:</span> En el año 2005, Google decidió que, en lugar de solo hacer las búsquedas de Google más inteligentes, trataría de hacer que la gente condujera las búsquedas de Google de forma más inteligente también. La solución &#8211; literalmente &#8211; fue <a href="http://www.google.com/googlegulp">Google Gulp Beta</a>, una bebida formulada en cuatro deliciosos sabores (Uva Glutamato, Radicales Libres de Azúcar, Beta Carroty y Agua Serotónica). ¿El ingrediente secreto? Un compuesto químico diseñado para optimizar el uso del motor de búsqueda de Google del bebedor haciendo al individuo más inteligente. Si sus ojos ya se han abierto tanto que se van a salir de sus órbitas, lamentamos informar que fue una broma de Google por el &#8220;<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pez_de_abril">April&#8217;s Fool</a>&#8220;(el equivalente al &#8220;Día de los Inocentes&#8221; de Latinoamérica, pero en Abril).  Volvamos a la Coca Cola XD.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__HPIj2EKI/AAAAAAAABVY/ExAQej7FzVE/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-romance.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__HPIj2EKI/AAAAAAAABVY/ExAQej7FzVE/s400/google-easter-eggs-romance.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">Google Romance: Encuentra el amor con publicidad contextual relevante XD</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Google se pone romántico (o algo así):</span> Desde el año 2000, Google ha honrado cada día del April&#8217;s Fool tomando el pelo a los crédulos. En el año 2006, fue tras los corazones solitarios con un programa beta llamado <a href="http://www.google.com/romance/index.html">Google Romance</a>, que proponía ofrecer a los usuarios &#8220;un servicio de emparejamiento psicográfico y citas con todo pagado para las parejas que acepten experimentar la publicidad contextual relevante durante el curso de su velada&#8221;. Como para enamorarse.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__Gfoj2EEI/AAAAAAAABUs/AFgVQd8Mmh0/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-mentalplex.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__Gfoj2EEI/AAAAAAAABUs/AFgVQd8Mmh0/s400/google-easter-eggs-mentalplex.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">Lo que faltaba: Ahora Google también lee la mente</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Google Psíquico:</span> ¿Alguna vez han sentido flojera de escribir una búsqueda en Google? Si  es así, consideren la búsqueda de <a href="http://www.google.com/mentalplex/">Google MentalPlex</a>. Este servicio de Google adivina lo que desean buscar antes de que toquen el teclado, mediante el análisis de los últimos 5 sitios que visitaron y factorizando la presión de aire local, sus signos astrológicos y &#8220;la velocidad y vector de los movimientos del mouse&#8221;. En realidad no tienes que hacer una búsqueda imaginaria para darte cuenta de que Google MentalPlex fue la broma del April&#8217;s Fool del año 2000.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__HQoj2ENI/AAAAAAAABVw/_SGrBBgDypM/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-TISP.gif"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__HQoj2ENI/AAAAAAAABVw/_SGrBBgDypM/s400/google-easter-eggs-TISP.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">Si alguna vez pensaste tener internet en el baño para no tener que levantarte de la PC&#8230;</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Wi-Fi de Banda Ancha desde el Trono:</span> Regocíjense, roñosos. Si alguna vez desearon tener Internet de banda ancha totalmente gratis sin tener que robar la señal de sus vecinos, pues el <a href="http://www.google.com/tisp/index.html">servicio gratuito TiSP de Google</a> es un sueño hecho realidad. Para obtener el TiSP (siglas para Toilet Internet Service Provider, o Proveedor de Servicio de Internet de Inodoro), primero deben obtener el kit gratuito de autoinstalación de Google. A continuación, deben &#8220;pasar&#8221; un extremo del cable de fibra óptica (incluído en el kit) por el inodoro y esperar cerca de una hora mientras la línea es conectada a Internet vía PHD (Plumbing Hardware Dispatcher o &#8220;Despachador de Hardware de Plomería&#8221;). Ahora conéctense a su router inalámbrico de Google y listo. Por supuesto, es una broma de Google.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GfIj2EBI/AAAAAAAABUU/KW2oZUUDgqQ/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-googlunaplex.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GfIj2EBI/AAAAAAAABUU/KW2oZUUDgqQ/s400/google-easter-eggs-googlunaplex.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">Google apunta a conquistar la Luna&#8230; y necesita a los mejores para lograrlo</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Google en la Luna:</span> ¿Hasta donde se extiende la red mundial? ¿Puede volverse una utilidad interplanetaria? ¿Pagerank distorsiona sus resultados ante la proximidad de un hoyo negro? Estas y otras preguntas de semejante profundidad pretenden hallar respuesta en <a href="http://www.google.com/jobs/lunar_job.html">las nuevas instalaciones de Google</a><a href="http://www.google.com/jobs/lunar_job.html"> en la Luna</a>. Gracias a los nuevos parámetros de experimentación que brinda la gravedad menor de la luna y las lámparas de lava gigantes que proveen de oxígeno al complejo, los investigadores de Googlunaplex podrán llevar una vida normal tal y como se hace aquí en la Tierra. Una oferta de trabajo descabellada vista en <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/">Google Jobs</a> en el April&#8217;s Fool del año 2007.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__JT4j2EPI/AAAAAAAABWA/_SUnl8CgG8Q/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-pigeonrank.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__JT4j2EPI/AAAAAAAABWA/_SUnl8CgG8Q/s400/google-easter-eggs-pigeonrank.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
<span style="font-style:italic;">¡Sabía que no había servidores tan potentes detrás de esto!</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">El Secreto de Google: Pigeonrank:</span> La abrumadora precisión de Google para encontrar lo que uno esta buscando tiene una razón de ser. Mientras su competencia más cercana, como Yahoo o MSNSearch, invierte millones en tener los más potentes servidores y las bases de datos más eficientes, Google utiliza un método altamente efectivo para brindar los resultados más pertinentes en muy poco tiempo. Se trata de <a href="http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html">PigeonRank</a>, un sistema de rangos de páginas web desarrollado por los creadores de Google, que consiste en emplear numerosos grupos de palomas entrenadas como base de todas las herramientas de búsqueda en la red. Gracias a la gran capacidad de las palomas para diferenciar objetos y tomar decisiones rápidamente, Google garantiza mostrar los datos más relevantes a las búsquedas mediante un sistema de &#8220;votación por picotazos&#8221; que ha probado ser el mejor del mundo. Con diagramas de rendimiento y una explicación detalladísima del proceso de selección de páginas, esta broma del April&#8217;s Fool del año 2002 absolvió las dudas de muchos curiosos.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GNIj2D8I/AAAAAAAABTs/vvEivze101o/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-calculadora.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GNIj2D8I/AAAAAAAABTs/vvEivze101o/s400/google-easter-eggs-calculadora.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">La respuesta a todas tus preguntas&#8230; pero ¿cuáles son tus preguntas?</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sumando con la calculadora de Google:</span> Gracias a la <a href="http://www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator/">calculadora de Google</a>, pueden usar la caja de búsqueda de Google cualquier cosa que tenga que ver con números, desde conversión de monedas hasta resolución de ecuaciones matemáticas avanzadas. Pero las cosas no siempre se suman de la forma que piensan que se harán con la calculadora de Google. Intenten con &#8220;<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_sentido_de_la_vida,_el_universo_y_todo_lo_dem%C3%A1s">la respuesta a la vida, el universo y todo lo demás</a>&#8221; (answer to life the universe and everything), &#8220;el número de los cuernos de un unicornio&#8221; (number of horns on a unicorn), o &#8220;<a href="http://ciencia.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/07jul_bluemoon.htm">Una vez cada luna azul</a>&#8221; (<span style="font-style:italic;">once in a blue moon</span>, frase popular  norteamericana para decir &#8220;<span style="font-style:italic;">casi nunca</span>&#8221; cuya explicación esta <a href="http://ciencia.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/07jul_bluemoon.htm">aquí</a>) para ver algunos cálculos inesperados.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GNoj2D-I/AAAAAAAABT8/aguA7bBxU4w/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-gmail-paper.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GNoj2D-I/AAAAAAAABT8/aguA7bBxU4w/s400/google-easter-eggs-gmail-paper.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">GMail Paper: Usted pulsa, nosotros lo empaquetamos, usted lo obtiene</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Midiendo el Spam por Libras: </span>¿Alguna vez desearon simplemente presionar un botón y tener todos los mensajes de su Gmail impresos, ordenados, empaquetados, y enviados a la puerta de sus casas? Si son de las personas que no toleran tener montañas de papeles, entonces te alegrará saber que tal servicio no existe, a pesar de una elaborada broma que Google perpetró a sus usuarios de Gmail (versión norteamericana) para hacerles creer lo contrario. Como parte de las bromas del &#8220;<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pez_de_abril">April&#8217;s Fool</a>&#8221; del 2007 (el equivalente al &#8220;Día de los Inocentes&#8221; de Latinoamérica, pero en Abril), Google anunció el debut de <a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/help/paper/more.html">Gmail Paper</a>, una utilidad que permitía a los usuarios crear una copia física de su cuenta completa de Gmail. En una actitud de conciencia por el medio ambiente, Google dijo que evitaría cortar arboles para imprimir los archivos de Gmail, usando en lugar de ello &#8220;<span style="font-style:italic;">papel compuesto en un 96% por esputo de frejol de soya orgánico pre-digerido</span>&#8220;. A eso le llamo creatividad ecológica XD.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cenas finas con Spam:</span> Si van a su carpeta de Spam de Gmail (sólo la versión norteamericana), verás que donde uno espera que aparezca publicidad de algun tipo, en realidad hay recetas cuyo ingrediente principal es el <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28alimento%29">Spam</a>. ¿Alguien dijo Sandwich de Tortilla Imperial de Spam? ¿O quizás Spam Quiche? Para otras opciones gastronómicas que incluyan los conocidos trozos rosados, sigue revisando la carpeta de Spam.</p>

<span style="font-style:italic;">A la espalda, el equipo de Google (que tienen que ver por ustedes mismos)</span></div>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Los créditos de Google Street Views:</span> Los empleados de Google que hacen nuestros servicios Google favoritos casi nunca son reconocidos.  Pero ese no es el caso en <a href="http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/index.html">Google Street Views</a>. En una extraña muestra de autoalabanza de Google, el equipo de Google Street View posa a la espalda de Googleplex, la sede central de la compañía en Mountain View, California. ¿Dónde pueden verlo? Pues en <a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&#38;om=0&#38;layer=c&#38;cbll=37.420894,-122.084098&#38;cbp=1,356.927512057877,0.501172314593583,0&#38;ll=37.424826,-122.084391&#38;spn=0.007685,0.020084&#38;t=h&#38;z=16/">estas coordenadas del Google Street Views</a> (TIENEN QUE VERLO XD).</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Las mil caras de Pegman:</span> Para usar la característica Street Views de Google Maps, deben mover lo que Google llama &#8220;<a href="http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/newcities/index.html">Pegman</a>&#8221; a un punto específico. Cuando lo hacen, aparece una ventana de la vista de la calle en ese punto. Para hacer las cosas más interesantes, Google viste a Pegman para ocasiones especiales. Por ejemplo, durante la semana de Navidad, Pegman se convierte en un muñeco de nieve; en Halloween, Pegman se pone un disfraz de bruja; el día de San Valentín, Pegman se para sobre un corazón en lugar el círculo verde de siempre. Y cuando Pegman se posiciona en Telegraph Avenue en Berkeley, California, se convierte en un hippie con camiseta multicolor.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Un Huevo de Pascua Clásico de Google Maps:</span> Hace un tiempo atrás, si preguntaban por una dirección o como llegar, digamos, de New York a París en Google Maps, se te informaba sobre lo que parecía ser sin duda <a href="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2007/03/directions_from_goog.html">una nadada de más o menos 5500 Km a través del Océano Atlántico</a> como si fuera, en realidad, unos cuantos pasos. El año pasado Google eliminó este Huevo de Pascua de Google Maps, aduciendo que &#8220;no se puede llegar allí desde aquí&#8221;.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GfYj2ECI/AAAAAAAABUc/XDgEmOnQYZI/s1600-h/google-easter-eggs-googoth-googleloco.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I3JGQt0Ggn4/R__GfYj2ECI/AAAAAAAABUc/XDgEmOnQYZI/s400/google-easter-eggs-googoth-googleloco.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />

Te encontrarás con <a href="http://www.googoth.com/">Googoth</a>, un motor de búsqueda especializado que &#8220;reune los tópicos dark, góticos, industriales y alternativos&#8221;. Este sitio de búsqueda no esta relacionado con Google. Otro sitio especializado que no tiene nada que ver con Google es <a href="http://www.googleloco.com/">Google Loco</a>, una parodia de Google que se muestra con letras saltando y colores parpadeando.

Simplemente deben seguir los pasos indicados por Mark Erickson, en su <a href="http://www.marksinfinitesolutions.com/tutorials/default.asp?tutorial=IS_Googletv">video instructivo de Infinite Solutions</a>. ¿Las malas noticas? Si esperan obtener acceso bajo demanda a ABC, CBS, NBC y Fox, se decepcionarán de saber que Infinite Solutions es una parodia de un programa de tecnología, y ninguno de sus &#8220;tutoriales&#8221; técnicos funciona en realidad.</p>
<p>La curiosidad humana es una bendición. Sin ella, la humanidad no hubiera alcanzado el nivel evolutivo que tiene en la actualidad. Al parecer, los programadores mantienen viva esa curiosidad insertando pequeñas sorpresas en sus programas. Habrá que seguir buscando alguna otra sorpresa de esas que Google nos suele deparar.</p>

<description><![CDATA[For as long as anyone cares to remember, the marketing industry has been divided by lines, namely: a]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:left;">For as long as anyone cares to remember, the marketing industry has been divided by lines, namely: above the line; below the line; and more recently online.</div>
<p>Each division has had its own skill set, and unique way of measuring results so that apples could never be compared with apples.</p>
<p>After many attempts by people a lot smarter than myself to find a universal way to measure the value of marketing across media, we have shrugged our shoulders and learnt to accept that we are dealing with fruit salad, and not apples.</p>
<p>But as technology continues to advance, those mediums that we had once accepted as mass, or above the line, are changing, and fast.</p>
<p>Basically, all forms of media are becoming direct.</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>Because marketers have always wanted more accountability, and less wastage, and now we have technology that can deliver that capability.</p>
<p>So the question really is:</p>
<p><em>When all media becomes direct what does it mean for the marketing industry?</em></p>
<p>It means the line does not exist, and we can fire up the blender on this fruit salad.</p>
<p>It means it is time for direct marketers to stand up, grab the industry by the balls, and drag it into the future.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at a few traditional above the line mediums are changing</p>
<p><strong>TV</strong></p>
<p>Scared sh!tless by <a href="http://www.google.com/adwords/tvads/">Google&#8217;s TV Ads</a>, the major cable companies in the US have bound together to form <a href="http://www.canoe-ventures.com/about.html">Canoe Ventures</a>. Canoe promises to be able to deliver marketers with the ability to address TV advertising direct to a defined consumers&#8217; set top box, or in other words the ability to advertise tires only to people who own cars.</p>
<div id="attachment_395" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/direct-tv-advertising.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-395" title="Canoe Ventures - Direct TV Advertising" src="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/direct-tv-advertising.jpg?w=300" alt="Canoe Ventures - Direct TV Advertising" width="300" height="104" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Canoe Ventures - Direct TV Advertising</p></div>
<p>This is a big step in the right direction, but if a direct marketer was in charge of this project what would happen?</p>
<p>Do you remember the 2006 Silver Cannes Lion winning &#8216;<a href="http://aveaword.glueserv.com/">Ave a word</a>&#8216; campaign by Glue London for the Mini Cooper S?</p>
<p>Refresh your memory before reading on.</p>
<p>What if you could pre-populate the variables of the ad and deliver it direct to a targeted consumers&#8217; television?</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Hello Christopher, have a butchers at this, it&#8217;s the new Mini Cooper S&#8221;</em></p>
<div id="attachment_118" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 325px"><a href="http://aveaword.glueserv.com/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-118  " title="Mini Cooper S 'Ave a word' Campaign" src="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/aveaword.jpg" alt="Mini Cooper S 'Ave a word' Campaign" width="315" height="169" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mini Cooper S &#39;Ave a word&#39; Campaign</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Hard to ignore? You betcha.</p>
<p>Deadly effective? Right again.</p>
<p>Sure there will be permission and privacy issues we will have to overcome, but you can&#8217;t stop progress.</p>
<p>In Australia, we have Foxtel&#8217;s red button to deliver more direct TV engagement, which has come a long way now that people have become accustomed to it.</p>
<div id="attachment_117" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 88px"><a href="http://www.foxtel.com.au" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-117   " title="Foxtel Red Button" src="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/foxtel.jpg" alt="Foxtel Red Button" width="78" height="256" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Foxtel Red Button</p></div>
<p>Following the US lead, it is only a matter of time before Foxtel, Tivo and others start to deliver addressable TV advertising capabilities in Australia </p>
<p><strong>Radio</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.digitalradioplus.com.au/">Digital radio plus</a> is nearly here!</p>
<div id="attachment_119" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.digitalradioplus.com.au/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-119  " title="Digital Radio Plus" src="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/digital-radio-plus.jpg?w=300" alt="Digital Radio Plus" width="240" height="97" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Digital Radio Plus</p></div>
<p>According to the website this will &#8220;facilitate additional advertising information on demand&#8230;and the new technology can take radio advertisements to a new level using images and text,&#8221;</p>
<p>Bring it on!</p>
<p>Putting my direct marketing hat on, this would be really cool if you plugged it into GPS, so I can target an ad from the local McDonalds as you are nearing on the highway.</p>
<p><strong>Outdoor</strong></p>
<p>Direct outdoor is also gaining pace, and the most exciting example I have seen lately is the bus shelter ad from <a href="http://animalnewyork.com/2009/03/weighting-for-the-bus/">Fitness First in the Netherlands</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_393" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 325px"><a href="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/fitness-first-bus-shelter-scale.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-393 " title="Fitness First Bus Shelter Scale" src="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/fitness-first-bus-shelter-scale.jpg" alt="Fitness First Bus Shelter Scale" width="315" height="214" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fitness First Bus Shelter Scale</p></div>
<p>The seat measures the weight of the commuter and displays it on a digital screen, Biggest Loser style! As a personal trainer, I am so proud, but I am also a masochist so go figure.   </p>
<p>If this is not PC enough for you, you could always use <a href="http://www.marketingmag.com.au/news/view/pigeon-technology-to-directly-target-consumers-1163">Pigeons with built in GPS</a> for your direct outdoor.</p>
<p><strong>Mobile</strong></p>
<p>Not only do we have SMS and Bluetooth for direct in the mobile space, Yahoo have recently announced they will be bringing online behavioural targeting to mobile.</p>
<div id="attachment_326" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 242px"><a href="http://www.marketingvox.com/yahoo-to-bring-behavioral-targeting-to-mobile-044141/?utm_campaign=rssfeed&#38;utm_source=mv&#38;utm_medium=textlink"><img class="size-full wp-image-326 " title="Mobile Behavioural Targeting" src="http://chrismaloney.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/mobile-behavioural-targeting.jpg" alt="Mobile Behavioural Targeting" width="232" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mobile Behavioural Targeting</p></div>
<p>Behavioural targeting is claimed to double the average ROI of traditional banner ads with click-through rates up to three times higher.</p>
<p><strong>Multi Channel Direct</strong></p>
<p>To try and make sense of this brave new world, we have formed a new <a title="ADMA Multi-Channel Acquisition Council" href="http://www.adma.com.au/asp/index.asp?pgid=2249" target="_blank">ADMA Multi-Channel Acquisition Council</a>, where we will be discussing a lot of the implications of all mediums becoming direct.</p>
<p>In summary, WATCH THIS SPACE!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://newteevee.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/googtv.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-8120" title="googtv" src="http://newteevee.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/googtv.jpg?w=99" alt="googtv" width="99" height="96" /></a>Google (S GOOG) announced today that advertisers will be able to <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/pressrel/20081203_hallmarkchannel.html">buy commercials on The Hallmark Channel</a> and The Hallmark Movie Channel through the Google TV Ads service starting early next year. While the deal will give Google access to both networks&#8217; national audiences, the announcement did not indicate how much inventory Hallmark would make available to the search giant.</p>
<p>While Google struggled to get its TV ads service up and running, with just DISH Networks (S DISH) using the service, the search giant is starting to gain some traction in its strategic shift to targeting programmers. The Hallmark deal comes just a few months after <a href="http://newteevee.com/2008/09/08/nbc-to-use-google-tv-ads-for-some-cable-nets/">NBC opened up</a> some of the ad inventory on its Sci Fi, Oxygen, MSNBC, CNBC, Sleuth and Chiller cable channels.</p>
<p>Heading off Google before it could dominate the TV ad space like it does the search ad space was one of the reasons behind the creation of Canoe Ventures, the joint initiative of the six major cable companies to sell targeted ads and interactive services across those networks. Both entities talk about delivering better data from users to create more optimized ads. Canoe CEO David Verklin gave a fiery speech at NewTeeVee Live where he delivered the message: <a href="http://newteevee.com/2008/11/13/canoe-ventures-wants-your-data/">&#8220;Don&#8217;t count out the television business.&#8221;</a></p>

<p>Google said it instituted new search technology today for the Google TV Ads Platform that will let advertisers make their TV spots more targeted.</p>
<p>Google TV Ads is the search giant’s foray into the TV advertising business that lets marketers buy TV spots in the Google system based on the same auction technology that has made Google’s search advertising business so popular.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Google has changed our world in many ways. Most of us now have Google tools on our desktop and many powerful Google enhancements to our everyday cyber lives. In the spring of 2008, Google changed television advertising distribution and revolutionized <a title="Nationwide &#38; Google TV Media Buyers" href="http://www.infoworx.com/index.shtml" target="_blank"><span style="color:#aa77aa;">DRTV media buying.</span></a>Through their affiliation with DISH network, Google now provides an auction platform for cable network media in 14 million satellite households. What&#8217;s more, for the first time in direct response history, advertisers have &#8220;overnights&#8221; that report total viewers, how long they watched, and in what program your short form infomercial or direct response TV ad ran. <a title="Google TV changed DRTV media buying" href="http://www.google.com/adwords/tvads/" target="_self"><span style="color:#aa77aa;">Google TV </span></a>has already begun adding local markets to their inventory and recently cut a deal with <a title="TV ad inventory expanding" href="http://www.nbcuni.com/About_NBC_Universal/Company_Overview/" target="_self"><span style="color:#aa77aa;">NBC/Universal </span></a>for even more inventory.</p>
<p>The impact of this new technology on entrepreneurial and established marketers is enormous. Now an experienced media buyer, direct response company, or <a title="TV Infomercial specialists" href="http://www.infoworx.com/services_tpm.shtml" target="_blank"><span style="color:#aa77aa;">turnkey infomercial / infomarketing</span></a> company can shorten the testing process, substantially lower the cost of media tests, and make adjustments to a campaign on a daily basis.</p>
<p>The entrepreneur or infomercial product developer now has an opportunity to test more offers for less money in a shorter amount of time then ever before. At, my company, <a title="Google TV specialists" href="http://www.infoworx.com/about.shtml" target="_blank"><span style="color:#aa77aa;">InfoWorx</span></a>, we have embraced this new technology and utilize the latest research to target the client&#8217;s most profitable customer, reach more viewers for less dollars, and use all of the new metrics to analyse response and make more money for our clients.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The marketer&#8217;s best friend brings us yet another metric-centric marketing option worth a good,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The marketer&#8217;s best friend brings us yet another metric-centric marketing option worth a <strong>good, long look</strong>.</p>
<p>Last week <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10050953-93.html">Google and Bloomberg announced a deal </a>that delivers Google TV ads to Bloomberg TV.  Ok, big deal you say.  Yes, they&#8217;ve already done this with NBC and Dish Network.  Yet the interesting thing to emphasize again is that it brings Google&#8217;s metric-centric reporting technology (and subsequent ROI expectations) to a new medium.</p>
<blockquote><p>Google TV ad technology can tell advertisers which ads the audience is watching second by second. The technology uses data from millions of anonymized set-top boxes, Google said. And as with Google&#8217;s search ads, for which advertisers pay only when users click, TV ads incur costs based on impressions actually delivered.</p></blockquote>
<p>TV ads based on actual impressions and not the sheer privilege of owning a spot on some network&#8217;s precious airwaves?  Now there&#8217;s a concept.</p>
<p>Google continues to <strong>charge ahead </strong>and become more and more of a sensible budget option for marketers.  You&#8217;d be wise to take note.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a title="Google TV" href="http://www.google.com/adwords/tvads/" target="_blank"><strong>Google TV is now out of Beta</strong></a>and pulicly accessible. <img class="alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://theblur.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/google-tv-ads.png" alt="" width="220" height="205" /></p>
<p>Although not embraced to the degree they expected during the beta itself (my old agency&#8217;s TV buyers scratched their heads at it), this does offer the potential to create a marketplace similar to that of search, although the media dynamics are altogether different and the inventory is currently limited only to DISH. Media marketplaces represent a level of automation that commoditizes certain low value aspects of the buying &#38; selling process that are labor intensive and erodes margins - it&#8217;s part of the future. Google TV merely sets a precedent on what is possible &#8211; trust me they are not the only ones attempting to create and automate a TV buying marketplace. Agencies have however been watching Google move into areas beyond their home turf, so to speak, and some of getting nervous.</p>
<p>I mentioned previously that in 2007 Martin Sorrell, chairman of WPP has referenced Google when discussing the competitive climate in the industry more often than he publicly discussed other agency holding companies such as Omnicom, or IPG. WPP also acquired or made investments in many media/technology companies in the last year or so, hedging their bets on a potential competitive suite of tools and products? Or simply diversifying a portfolio of complimentary companies to keep a level of spending under the same umbrella? Only time will tell.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vincent Dureau, the head of television technology at Google, is clearly a big believer in the potential of online video. He was previously chief technology officer of OpenTV and a pioneer of interactive television delivered to the set-top box.Speaking at the IPTV World Forum in London, he argued that internet protocol television is already with us on the web. “IPTV is already deployed on a very large scale,” claimed Vincent Dureau.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“It may not necessarily take the form that we consider IPTV sensu stricto but it’s definitely there.”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">By which he was referring to online video delivered over broadband.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“The most important thing about this is that with the deployment of broadband it is actually becoming viable to distribute television point to point as opposed to broadcast,”  he said.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Whereas the broadcast world is limited by spectrum, we now have infinite shelf space. Although people may think we have enough television channels already, Vincent Dureau believes that there is a virtually indefinite appetite for television.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">By way of an example of the millions of short clips now available on YouTube, which is now owned by Google, he suggested that the long tail could be very long indeed.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In fact, he argued that the largest IPTV deployment in the world was BitTorrent, the peer-to-peer file sharing system often used to download illicit copies of movies and television shows.He also suggested that NetFlix, the online video rental library with 90,000 titles in its catalogue and 8 million members, is the largest legal IPTV deployment.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Although the majority of its business consists of sending DVDs through the mail, it also has an online library of 7,000 titles, larger than any currently offered on cable.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“It’s also very clear that within the past six months we’ve seen this huge shift of mainstream broadcasters making their content available on the PC,”  he said, referring to the BBC iPlayer and the NBC Hulu initiatives.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“There is a clear recognition among the premium broadcasters that there is an underserved population that is watching TV on their PC right now and they want to address them.”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Although much of this activity is currently concentrated on the personal computer, he pointed to the large number of retail devices that are connecting the television to broadband networks, an example being the Apple TV box.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Over 50% of Xbox or PS3 games consoles are also connected to broadband networks and the next generation of BluRay players are all going to come with an Ethernet port.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“I think it’s important to start looking at those devices as distribution channels for television content to the home,” he said. “The studios have figured out that maybe they don’t need the middleman</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">They should be able to distribute movies directly to the television.”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“There’s an infinite amount of entertainment content that’s coming to television.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The next assumption that I have is that viewers will not just watch the premium movies and premium channels but that they will also be watching the long tail.”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In the United States there are over 300 digital television channels available on a typical platform. Of those, only 40 are actually measured because the Nielsen panel of about 10,000 households can only measure with any degree of accuracy the channels that have more than 0.5% of the audience.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Google has been collecting viewing data from several millions of set-top boxes for the past 10 months. “The thing that we found out is that actually 40% of the audience is actually watching those channels that weren’t even measured,”  he said.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“So we believe that the long tail matters. We believe the long tail is even longer.”</p>
<p>Google is optimistic that it will be able to do a better job of targeting advertising so that it is more relevant to viewers and that advertisers will be prepared to pay a premium for this.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">“We’re going to see now an infinite number of operators of television through quality of service networks and over the top,” he said.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;We think that through targeted advertising we&#8217;re going to see a new source of funding for quality programming.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The head of television technology at google conculded with a call to &#8220;embrace the web and understand that IPTV is not ahead of us &#8211; it is already behind us&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="justify">Una <strong>G-TV</strong> sarebbe stato veramente un colpo incredibile a tutto il settore. Qualcuno voleva farcelo credere e ha diffuso un video che spiega come accedere ad una &#8220;beta&#8221; di Google TV attraverso GMail. Una <strong>bufala</strong> di prima qualità, ma che per qualche secondo mi ha fatto sudare freddo&#8230;</p>
<p align="justify">Il video è stato visto da tantissime persone e ve lo ripropongo perchè è una delle bufale migliori in circolazione e, nel suo piccolo, molto divertente se si pensa a quanto si siano impegnati in fatto di credibilità per dire una stupidaggine.</p>
<p align="justify"><em>Scusate per il titolo orribile di questo post che sicuramente non verrà mai indicizzato, ma in altri paesi ci fanno i soldi con questi ibridi e quindi ci provo anch&#8217;io&#8230;loro li chiamano mashup!</em></p>
