Online AdSpend Rose 11% in Q2, to Rise Another 10% in Q3 Says Deutsche Bank Survey
According to an article in MarketerToday:
In a survey of 116 media executives Deutsche Bank determined that Q2 saw an 11% increase in online adspend, due to an influx of online marketers and a "scarcity of premium content" according to a MediaPost article.
More findings, in a convenient list format:
70%: Marketers who expect online ad spending to increase in Q3
66%: Respondents whose clients' spending increased since Q1
48%: Marketers who increased their budgets
12%: Marketers who increased their budgets more than 30%
10%: Predicted increase of budgets for Q3
9%: Increase in prices for premium inventory

I was just reading Shel Israel's latest Post, and when I read tip #7 Be accessible, I realized that I had neglected to add my contact information to my blog. And sure enough I had a comment from Hjalmar Gislason over at www.spurl.net saying the same thing.
Well, problem solved, I have posted both my email address and cell phone (to the right)
Thanks to both Shel and Hjalmar for pointing this out.

AP reports that the broadband battle is heating up with costs being cut back to between $15 and $20 a month. I FINALLY switched and I LOVE it! Nothing like sitting on the couch and posting to my blog through my wireless network. ahhhh, gotta love it.
Speedline Knowledge Blog Launched
Highly regarded industry experts Gerald Pham-Van-Diep and Joe Belmonte will be writing on various topics related to the electronics industry. According to Rick Short's recent post, Speedline is the third industry blog launched behind Indium and Intertronics.
Excellent work guys!
A recent study from BuzzMetrics/Mouthpiece reviled that a majority of blog readers don't know their reading a blog.
David Galbraith has a post on why this is a good thing. He Writes:
This is great news, it spells ubiquity. Memes need a buzzword to catch on, but by now blogs are more than online diaries.
The weblog publishing model, with built in syndication, tracking, real-time search, permanent, item based archiving and linking and easy to use publishing tools is the way everything will eventually be published on the web.
I heard the interview with Adam Lashinsky on Marketplace last Tuesday and just stumbled upon this Fortune.com history.
Boy, before Mosaic and Netscape, we had to use text browsers such as lynx (http://home.pacific.net.sg/~kennethkwok/lynx/scrshot.gif) and gopher (http://www.wbglinks.net/pages/history/stuffwbgl/misc/gopher.jpg)
It really is amazing how far we have come in 10 years!
Excellent comparison of 8 of the top blogging software packages.

I would add this to spurl, but the site seems to be down :(...
I was checking out Jeremy Zawodny's Post on a new application to organize del.icio.us bookmarks
del.icio.us direc.tor: Delivering A High-Performance AJAX Web Service Broker :: Johnvey
I've been trying to spurl everything that is interesting and it automatically passes it over to my del.icio.us account.
Very cool, all different kinds of ways to view, sort and search my web links.
