I was hoping that I would be able to blog about my Blackberry today but I don’t have enough time on this busy Sunday. However, I just like to mention that the other day when I happened to be sitting in from of my computer I realized how much I hate “pop ups” as Sunny Pao wrote about how she dislikes pop ups and finds them a nuisance. I also feel the same way I also find them at the same time very effective and ineffective. In general when there is some kind of pop up I tend to hate whatever the pop up is about if its for shaving cream or some kind of dating site thing. I generally close it without looking at it or curse under my breath due to its annoyance. In this way I find them very very ineffective because in general they just make you mad and you close them with out a second glance. However, there is also another side to it as well. I find that on Facebook on the right hand side of your home screen or profile page there are little adds on the side that sometimes can actually pertain to you and what you say, “like”, or have an interest in on Facebook. This is actually far more effective I find because this way its actually an advertisement that you have a better chance at looking at. A great example is that I have an interest in Lord of the Rings and on that little side space there always seems to be adds pertaining to Lord of the Rings I’ve actually clicked on a few of them which lead me to sites and fan forums. This I find is far better and more effective marketing that a extremely unwanted pop up for something I don’t desire to look at.
