Competition Announcement - Antkeg Remi
In addition to optimizing our class blog, we will be having a friendly competition to see who among us can secure the highest ranking for the (made up) phrase "Antkeg Remi". The word "e-marketing" was jumbled using the Wordsmith Anagram site to create a fictitious phrase that does not yet yield any results when searching via Google (have not yet confirmed this to be true across all the other search engines but I assume this to be the case elsewhere).
Your goal is to have a website or blog of yours returned in the top search engine results. A similar contest was held several years ago but ours won't be on such a large scale. Of course the prize for the winner will be (VERY) modest.
You are free to partner up with a couple other students if you'd like but please keep your group size to no more than four students total.

Welcome MBA 638 Students!
I am glad to see that (nearly) everyone was able to post to the class blog...we're off to a good start! As mentioned in class, the purpose of this blog is to co-create knowledge on the topic of internet marketing by sharing articles/insights that we come across throughout the course. In doing so, we will also build up a repository of content related to our keyword "e-marketingclass" that we are trying to optimize for. Don't worry, we'll cover Search Engine Optimization in more depth later. But, for now, it's important to remember that we want search engines to recognize our blog as a relevant resource for people searching for the term "e-marketingclass" and rank us high in their search results.
As you know, I expect everyone to post their first assignment to this blog by Tuesday (7/13) to improve our chances that search engines will pick our new content up before the course ends in early August (keep your fingers crossed). If you've already found an article or topic that you want to write about, great. If not, I would like to see some thoughtful postings about what disruptions that internet has caused/will cause to businesses or industries. To get you thinking, you might consider checking out PC World's article on things the internet has/has not ruined or this blog post. Please venture outside the topics listed here and choose something that has impacted you personally or a company you work(ed) for. You can also pick something we discussed in class (e.g., the "splinternet", how consumers are gaining more control, etc.).
For this first assignment, be sure to mention our keyword "e-marketingclass" in the body and also include links to other articles/websites that you use to do your write-up.

Flickr and The Video Launch

Flickr and The Video Launch
“Flickr and The Video Launch” is an article that discusses the use of technology to conveniently upload pictured on users personal computers. In the years past, people used to disposable cameras to print personal pictures to place in photo albums. Today, there is a large variety of digital cameras, PDA’s, and cell phones where people can upload pictures onto their personal computers and the Internet. With the widespread popularity of online photo galleries, Facebook/ Myspace, and web pages, the variety in the use of pictures has expanded.
Yahoo has hosted Flickr since 2005. Yahoo decided to shut down “Yahoo Pictures” and replace it with the use of the newly improved Flickr. Yahoo’s Pro members will have access to larger picture uploads. Free members will be able to use Flickr but will have less perks from the system. This may distract free users fro the system since they may feel they cannot upload the same sized pictures as the Pro members.
Flickr has been compared to Google’s YouTube, but with YouTube’s success it is questionable if Flickr will be able to catch up to its infinite number of views and popularity. It hopes to attract new users with features such as being capable to hold pictures and video in the same place. This way users will have less complicated time in uploading their pictures and/or videos.
The article was good at explaining how Yahoo wants to attract new users to Flickr but it could have explained how to use the service. Yahoo would be able to attract more users if the users had more knowledge about how to use Flickr. People who use YouTube may not be as willing to convert to Flickr since they are so familiar with YouTube, even though Flickr has the option of keeping their pictures and videos in the same place.

E-marketing class Beware the Viral Movie Campaign
John Doyle
Bonus Blog
Before I go into the article let me establish what viral marketing is. Viral Marketing is a promotion that, either by design or accident, catches on with internet users or is passed from one to the other, multiplying the effectiveness of the original distribution. This article is about how viral marketing can potentially ruin a movie before the release of it. The author discusses her obsession with wanting to see the Iron Man movie, and how she saw every advertisement/ trailer made for the movie. She becomes infatuated with the movie trailer and tells everyone she runs into about where they get annoyed with her. She couldn’t stop watching and looking that she began to wonder if she will get burned out before the movie appeared in theatres. The movie used some cross branding to exploit the new hit movie. Using Lg mobil and the Audi car company which I believe are found in the film. I believe Viral marketing eventually can become exhausting by the extra information, and she said to use a tip from the maxim magazine which is to “hold a little back.” Being that I’m not big into going to the movie theatre I didn’t realize till now that there have been viral campaigns that I couldn’t stand. For some movies they tend to over do it. Please write back to give me your experience with viral marketing!!!

Internet Failure hits 2 continents. Extra Credit!
Ashley Giannini
January 31, 2008
In class a couple weeks ago we spoke about the under the sea cable that was damaged. This cause many businesses to be at a standstill and left many people to cope without the internet. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain Pakistan and India, are all experiencing problems. There is not a full understanding of what happened to the undersea cables but it is though to be from a boat anchor. Some countries have backup satellites in case of something like this happening but the backup is not up to date so it is leaving many people frustrated with how slow it is. The failure of the cable is a major ordeal because it is the communiation line between Europe and the Middle East.
The head of an Egyptian Internet service provider called the situation a "wake-up call" for the region, which he said is too dependent on underground lines and does not have a strong enough back-up system. This allows much room for improvement and maybe is a good thing becuase it gets people to realize something needs to be done about this problem. With technology, no one should depend on only one source for the internet. As we all know, when you need the internet or technology the most is when it will fail and you must be prepared for a backup. The article stated from when the time this incident happened, it may take up to a couple weeks to fix. That is no good for business who rely on the internet as their income. Imagine not getting paid for 2 weeks. Some businesses will be effected more than others, but for the ones going paycheck to paycheck will be getting a rude awakening, and may even go under.
Along with the internet being disrupted, the article stated there problems with TV and phone lines as well. In this day in age, our community without phone, TV, or internet is a nightmare. Coping with that would be hard, but not long ago this was how life was. It makes people realize how good they have it living in this time era, and just how much innovation there has been in technology recently!
