Today there are more than 1 billion people online creating what I refer to the biggest attraction party on this planet! If you add to them a couple of billion tangible-world shoppers you come up with almost half of earth's population moving to a new communication era where "attraction" plays a leading role! Does Information Age really exist or it has it been substituted by Attraction Era? Is attraction a prerequisite for information? What makes information interesting and appealing?
There are millions of websites, blogs, brands and stores where you can find every information, service and product you may need. But what is the reason you choose specific websites, stores and products?
Is it the website design, the creative direction of a commercial, the happenings taking place in a store or the colorful billboards?
I don't know if you feel the same way but every time I search the Internet I feel as if I am in the middle of a boundless Times Square with no way to escape! Pop-ups, videos, flashing images, and jumping weirdos... everyone tries to catch our eyes but very few target our heart.
OK, I see your ad flying around my screen when I'm trying to check my email...and the only emotion towards your product is anger! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the role of advertising is to connect a product with more positive emotions like surprise, curiosity, acceptance, joy, happiness and love!?

If you thought you would never be able to control the ads you see think again. Read the article below about Flip.com. Conde Net's new teen website.
Flip, Conde Nast's answer to MySpace for teen girls that goes live Feb. 6, will offer its users the ability to choose what advertising they see and in what form.
According to MediaWeek, CondeNet has signed on five premiere sponsors, including PacSun, Nordstrom, Clean & Clear and Vera Wang. Sources said packages between $300,000 and $500,000 were offered - indicating the site will pull in some $2 million before launch.
The primary ad units on Flip will be nonbranded digital images that members can use however they'd like to populate "Flip books" - which act as photo albums/diaries/digital scrapbooks that a user creates within her profile.
For example, Nordstrom will provide images of models wearing apparel that girls can paste in their Flip books; they are revealed to be Nordstrom clothing only when users click on them.
There are traditional banner ads in some parts of Flip, including on individual profile pages. But even on those pages the users decide, during the setup phase, which brand's ads will appear.
