LOOK HERE NOW!!!!! PLEASE!!!! LOOK!!! COME ON I’M AN AD!

So apparently Hearst Magazines are going to be launching some new ‘disruptive’ ad units on their websites.

You know, the type of ads that literally scream at you to look at them, confuse you, blare sounds from areas unknown (which then let your coworkers know you aren’t working), etc.

The ads will integrate HD video content and aim to continue to provide viewers advertising content, now with integrated editorial content. I’m all for innovating the simple and old-school banner ad a bit, but making ads bigger, more intrusive and more disruptive isn’t the answer from my perspective.

As the story points out briefly, internet users don’t respond well to these types of ads, so I’m not sure making the ads bigger and more disruptive is the answer. The word after all is disruptive (root word; disrupt) and thanks to dictionary.com, I can say with certainty that associating an ad with any of these feelings might not leave the viewer feeling to good:

1. to cause disorder or turmoil in
2. to destroy, usually temporarily, the normal continuance or unity of; interrupt
3. to break apart: to disrupt a connection

    nsightful thoughts here. Are you certain this is the best way to look at it though? My experience is that we should pretty much live and let live because what one person thinks just — another person simply doesn’t. People are going to do what they want to do. In the end, they always do. The most we can yearn for is to highlight a few things here and there that hopefully, allows them to make just a little better informed decision. Otherwise, great post. You’re definitely making me think! –Barry

  16. Did you see what happened with LinkedIn’s IPO? The financial institution screwed up in a major way and shorted them out of $175 million because they undervalued the value of the stock. They must be pissed. I really hope this doesn’t create a repeat of the dot com era that happened around 2000. That will suck especially with the recession we’re still in. <3 Ava~
