Thanks Marc, for being part of it :-)

Thanks a lot! Yeah indeed, unless you go towards a private message, social media is still one-to-many.. With email you can build a much more personal relation.

hahaha yeah for sure, added one at the last moment, updated the title, thanks a lot!

Ah that might work too indeed, tried doing a homebrew update and that did not work, so fixed it like this and that worked too :-)

It is not the problem with people creating the ads that they don't want to create HTML5 banners. The problem lies with most media buying agencies that won't accept them for reasons like their system is not ready to handle this (HTML5) yet or the most heard reason that they want Flash banners even with old versions of Action Script because they seem harder to block by ad-blockers and thus think that more people will watch them. They forget the fact that most people are annoyed with them also ;-)

If you create a truly brilliant ad which is targeted to the right audience and let them do something with your brand inside the ad for example people are more willing to view them in my opinion in stead of just forcing them the same old banner over and over again only with a different brand in them..

>because they seem harder to block by ad-blockers and thus think that more people will watch them.

Do companies actually believe this? Flash is the easiest to remove of all ads.

I have a lot of sympathy for the outreach companies trying to make advertising agencies behave. At some point, someone's neurons started firing and realized consumers had taken control over how they view media. Someone realized that eventually advertisements were going to be viewed of the users volition. Which meant they no longer could be deceitful, obnoxious, baiting, terrible, and rude. Or at least not transparently so.

Unfortunately the industry was built on the grounds that the users had no choice, so the notion of good advertising I think will never come. Old men in stuffy suits don't change unless they go bankrupt.

Looks interesting, but how does this compare to services like Klout, Peerreach, Peerindex, Kred etc.? At first sight it looks like a sort of reputation score like the other services.

Thanks. It predicts your professional expertise in specific domains for specific roles based on data from user's profile as well as similar other profiles. Sample representation: "Score of 67 in Data Science domain for Data Scientist Role". Multiple factors such as education, work etc. go into algorithm (much more being added). Klout, Kred etc measure social influence based on how much you engage and interact on the web.

You mean the menu bar? You think it is best if it not stays on top?

It's large, intrusive, looming, oppressive, and contains nothing except a link to home and a login.

Also, if I press <space>, <page-down>, or click in the scrollbar, then whatever was just off the bottom of the window is now under the dark bar, making it inconvenient to navigate, forcing me to scroll a line at a time. Thus it breaks my most convenient reading methods.

So it's not just a question of staying on top, it's a question of reducing screen real estate, impoverishing the user experience, and generally getting in the way.

Does that help?

True, thanks for the feedback, you are absolutely right...made a change to this so it works better now :-)

Appreciate :)
