Global AD Samsung

 *The use of the brands is for example purposes only.
=>The first screen shows a local advertisement of Samsung in form of virtual billboard which changes to a global one when you push the global button on the top left. Virtual billboard advertisements have several benefits. As the advertisement is brought into areal context, the user will much likely remember it much longer. That also implies that advertisements on web maps can do more than just advertising. This new way of advertising also leaves a new kind of user experience

Everything started with the question ‘Won’t the advertising effects be greatest if you put a billboard advertisement on locations or landmarks that users search most often?’ The next question was ‘How big will be the advertising effect of global companies like Samsung, Coca Cola or Nokia when they advertise on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Opera House in Sidney and other famous places on landmarks around the world?’

This new way of advertising allows global and local advertisement at the same time.

In order to make a first step into the global advertising arena, g-ad solution plans to become internationally active with image advertisement solution that are created with the help of aerial and satellite imagery at the beginning of March 2009.

Fourth, in map ad

The solution that g-ad solution developed uses satellite and aerial picture to bring the effect of conventional billboard advertisements to the internet. This new way of advertisement helps the consumer to remember the advertisement longer.

Chandrayaan-1

A thick trail of smoke is seen in the sky soon after the launch of Chandrayaan-1, India’s maiden lunar mission at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, about 100 kilometers (63 miles) north of Chennai, India, Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2008. India launched it’s first mission to the moon Wednesday, rocketing the satellite up into the pale dawn sky in a two-year mission to redraw maps of the lunar surface.

That title won’t make any sense to you if you don’t like The Beach Boys, but today’s post is all about maps.

I don’t remember the last time I actually unfurled a real map, so I thought it might be handy to re-investigate the cool mapping tools which are helping businesspeople get around every day. If you want to get from A to B, there’s now practically nowhere in the world where you can get as lost as my Dad regularly did in our Austin Maxi. You have at least four big-name options:

• Google Maps
• Microsoft Live Search Maps
• Streetmap
• Multimap

All offer an overlapping set of useful features. What started as the simple business of presenting maps to the reader now invariably includes satellite pictures and printable directions. (I won’t tell you where, but my Dad of Austin Maxi driving fame is visible in one satellite photo. He’s a fairly large chap).

Even printing out single pages of maps is a bit old hat today. Many mobile phones now also include a GPS chip- my HTC TyTN and Samsung’s sexy new Omnia both feature global positioning; so you can either use your phone as a replacement for a Satellite Navigation system in your car, or simply pound the streets on foot and still never get lost.

I was also lucky enough recently to interview Harold Goddijn, the founder of the TomTom satnav company, and he let me into some of the even smarter things he’s up to. In future, TomTom’s won’t rely on (expensive) traffic data from roadside cameras. Rather, the community of TomTom owners will be able to elect to transmit their current speed and location back to TomTom HQ. This real-time traffic data will inform other TomTom users about real traffic conditions, moment by moment.

The future of the mapping business, and some of the best business products to come out of it, are all based on this collaboration and/or collecting of data from multiple sources and overlaying them together geographically. For a lovely example, check out Panoramio, which collates photos from users all around the world.

Tools like MapMe and PushPin will, if successful, allow everyone to manage their own maps, and add annotations. That could mean the musty old Sales Map of Great Britain goes out of the window. You’ll simply be able to overlay sales data, customer segment information, salesperson areas and duties etc. across a digital map- and then extract all the strategic data you could possibly want.

Location-based services is a truly exciting up-and-coming business area; not least now that mobile phones are functional enough to display maps and location-based information when it’s needed most- on the move. If you haven’t got a smartphone yet, try and bag one. Not only will you never get lost again, but you’ll also get some of these smart new services thrown in, too.

The City of Marietta is evicting homeless from within our city limits.  Al, our homeless veteran friend that our church is trying its best to help reports that he and his friends, which are mostly homeless veterans, have been given notice to move “south”, meaning out of Marietta and toward Atlanta.

We have been helping Al and some of his friends in numerous ways.  Pat (see an earlier story on Pat here and her husband Scott and a few others in our church have been serving breakfast Sunday Mornings and later bringing some to our church for bible study and services, often treating them to lunch afterward.  Scott put Al in a hotel during the cold snap and the group has been taking supplies and clothing to them. 

Al has been faithful in attending, and as a result has taken to the idea that he can get out of this.  He no longer looks homeless, is neat, trimmed and dressed in his best clothes.  However, despite the information, forms, trips to the VA, Al still has not received his papers or his VA card.  He is still homeless.  He has said he has now committed to getting off the streets but has no place to go.

Above is one of the homeless camps being evicted by the City of Marietta.  This is an old photo taken from the air, but it also the site of Als current camp.   Believe it or not, this was found by use of the Hit and Visitor Map to the right of this blog.  It has zoom and several modes, including hybrid (satellite and road labeling), airborne, and “bird’s eye”.  I used the hybrid mode in zoom to find the general area, then switched to bird’s eye and quickly found his camp and 2 other camps.   Try it in your area (bird’s eye is not available in all areas, mostly metropolitan areas around large cities like Atlanta).  Look for blue tarps in mostly wooded areas.  Let me know if you find any. 

Now comes the City of Marietta.  They have systematically attacked the homeless camps within their city and have now worked their way to Als camp.  They did give them a little prior notice.  They were told that they are trespassing (wooded right of way of city) have to be packed up and moved out by Monday.  

Guess What?  Its snowing in Georgia.  The ground is covered.  A few will accept winter shelter but the beds are full.   They are totally dependent on MUST ministries a few blocks from their camp for food which MUST serves once a day on weekdays.   Nothing on weekends.

Moving means a miles long treck instead of a block or so walk.   The plan is obvious, make the homeless either seek shelter or get out.  Unfortunatly there are not enough beds to go around.  Not nearly enough.  So the plan is equally obvious – get out of our city! 

The city should provide facilities for these homeless before making them move.  They don’t.  They depend on MUST Ministries and a few other shelters that they have forced into industrial zones and have for the most part squelched expansion of facilities.  

Our city has decided to take the cheaper route – run them out of our city before they cost us money!  It also has another up side for the city:  Next year the homeless count will show another “remarkable” drop and no one will have to cook the books by redefining the homeless or unfinding any.  

Al works when he can find a job.  He doesn’t drink, doesn’t do drugs, has no noticeable mental problems.  He is a true walking hero with no place to go and our VA is not doing its duty.  Nor the VFW, nor our heartless City of Marietta.   He has fallen through the cracks and it makes me want to cry.

MUST Ministries, a block away from Al, serves Al a noon meal every week day. and  recently announced receiving grant money to set up transitional housing for veterans.   I’m sure they are hearing of the problem, but its been most of a week now since I left a message there for the program manager and sent a email inquiring about the program.  No response to the email and no returned call, and I know the guy, so he must be “out of pocket”.    MUST does do a wonderful job of helping feed and house the homeless and works tirelessly to serve them. 

Another mission, New Hope Missions reports that they are being swamped with homeless in the same desperate condition as Al.  New Hope serves about 125 breakfast and conducts services on Sunday and about half come from the area being evicted.  Some of them have to be out Wednesday.  Al has to be out Monday.

This is how not to minister to the homeless 

City of Marietta GA:  Shame!
