Jon’s show is always a good time. This makes it even better. It’s like he built an entire show around you.

Anyone who might happen to be bored around the NYC area tomorrow night is encouraged — and by encouraged, I mean “strongly discouraged” — to come by Jon Friedman’s “The Rejection Show,” where I will be “performing.” The theme of the evening is “I Lost on a Game Show,” so, for hopefully the last time, I’ll be dusting off the old “Win Ben Stein’s Money” material.

Could TV Be Bought and Sold Based on Who's Talking About It? ESPN and CNN Think So

Ad Age:

Time Warner’s CNN and Walt Disney’s ESPN are grappling with the idea that a TV ad should not be judged solely by the number of people it reaches, but also by how many of the people who see it are spurred to share its message with others.

It’s all well and good for a TV network to boast about the ability to lure a sizable crowd, but that’s so old school. Today, marketers want to know what subset of that audience talked about their ad with other people, and if that conversation was a positive or negative one.

…and…

CNN found… that people who make use of multiple CNN venues — i.e. TV and web — are four times more likely to speak about [their advertiser] Lexus than the total population.

Thought not mentioned in the article, social media like Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter could play a big part in a model like this.

Why AOL Sucks #465,792: It is impossible to change the email address associated with an AIM account if that address is defunct. Presumably because AOL sends a confirmation email to the defunct address, which, of course, you’re no longer able to access.

Why AOL Sucks #465,793: It is not possible to register more than one email address to your AIM account.

Why AOL Sucks #465,794: When you think you’ve found a place to report the problem, and you get to the bottom of the very long and thorough form you are asked to complete, you see this.
