Because when Google makes an internet-enabled TV and cuts deals that are initially loss-making, but designed to bust up the industry, the old model will be in tatters and the cable companies will be screwed. Think about it: Google has search to help you find shows, it has a video platform in the shape of YouTube, it has micro-payment infrastructure, and if it woke up and forgot about Buzz, it has social recommendation there too with Twitter. I made bad choices for the first two time-slots at SXSW, so I had high hopes for the third, PayTV vs Internet – The Battle For Your TV , featuring Mark Cuban of HDNet and Avner Rosen of Boxee .

Research released by the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) in the UK suggests that people are growing increasingly tired of requests to join brand pages or install brand applications in Facebook and other social networks .

Today, most advertisers pay the same amount to serve 1,000 ads to a hyper-connected super-influencer as they do to my granny (granny only rarely uses the Web and has relatively few followers on Twitter). The CPM, or ‘cost per mille’, is undifferentiated from user to user - despite the fact that some users are very much more influential than others: the value is crudely determined by the advertiser, the site and the quality of your sales team. It’s true that there are snazzy behavioural targeting technologies that allow site owners to gain a higher degree of individual insight - for example, by tracking which sites and what type of content they have been visiting and consuming before arriving at yours - but the basic, flat-rate same-CPM-for-everyone is still the prevailing model for monetising online visits in the UK and US.
