You Tube

After speaking with Adrian, I realized that my advertiser's training has become my hindrance. I've been looking at this as a one-off campaign once again rather than a practical lifetime investment.
Now that I have to look more into the world of free advertising and social networking, building an online presence. I'm am going to gather a case studies from different social networking applications to learn a thing or two.

Here's what's on the list

YouTube : JumbaFund phenomenon
http://www.youtube.com/user/JumbaFund
Every month JumbaFund donates all the revenue earned from Youtube to a charity of your choice. Just by watching the videos on JumbaFund, you are raising money for the charity of the month.

The charity of the month is nominated and voted by you the viewer. At the end of each month I allow viewers to nominate and vote for their favorite charity. The one with the most votes will receive all the profits that JumbaFund earned for the month.
It is quite a brilliant idea. Viewers watch his video and he earns money. I wondered how does this work and found out that You Tube has a partner program

OMGquestions!

What problem am I beginning from? My Problem is the trend of the Advertising industry in the future, will soon divide target markets into such small sections that eventually, it will become customized for each individual. I foresee an era of ads that are different for every person. I theorize that, just like the evolution of any species, when a species specializes too much, it breeds weakness. Therefore, I think that advertising will begin to divide communities and encourage selfish individualism. 2.What existing research in how to do this (methods/practice)? *After looking at some of the research methods available. I find I will begin from a sort of Poetic research and then nail down the project with action research. Since advertising is all about interacting with the community, this is the most appropriate method. 3.What existing research in the content area? *There are so much prior research in this area, I am still taking time to filter through this area. more research into the are...

The Evolving Urban Form: Kuala Lumpur A very well researched and presented article written by Wendell Cox 01/12/2013 It has very comprehensive graphs on the growth of Kuala Lumpur city, particularly useful for property investors that are seeking to understand geographical influences in property buying. I am currently writing an article for Mah Sing which aims to explain their purpose behind developments in the outer suburbs or outskirts of Greater KL. Finally moving towards a nation with progressive planning, I am glad that the fabled Wawasan 2020 may have achieved its influence in the minds of Malaysians.
