align="right" scrolling="no" width="55" frameborder="0" height="82"/iframeThe proliferation of
thumb drives and external hard drives has made optical media like DVDs seem a little less
handymdash;but there are still plenty of ways to put DVDs to good use. These shiny, multi-gigabyte
discs can run entire operating systems, put movies on your computer and vice-versa, host a robust
copy of Wikipedia, and do so much more, if you know how to work them. Check out some of our
favorite hacks and tips for getting the most out of DVDs, whether released by Hollywood or
purchased at OfficeMax. emPhoto by a href="http://flickr.com/photos/sfmine79/1857296481/"MiNe

height="149" class="right" align="right"It's certainly not a trick you can't pull off with a CD,
but putting a live-booting operating system on a DVD gives you a lot more space to fit the apps you
really want and use, along with any files you keep going back to. You can a
href="http://lifehacker.com/software/featured-linux-download/roll-your-own-ubuntu-live-cd-with-reconstructor-276092.php"roll
your own Ubuntu system/a with a

or back up your particular Linux desktop by a

a live DVD/a with a href="http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/"remastersys/a. You can even make
your own live-booting Windows XP CD with a href="http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=359"this

systems, try out some racing, shooting, volleyball, and ten other free Linux games on the a

src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_lemon_pledge.jpg" width="250"
height="250" class="right" align="right"From the files of the Can't Believe It Really Works
Department: If you've got a DVD (or CD) that your drive skips on or refuses to play, and it doesn't
look like it was dragged from the bumper on a cross-country trip, get out a little standard white,
non-gel toothpaste, rub a little in the scratched portions, and buff it off. The stuff might just
polish the disc enough, and smooth out its surface, to let a laser do its thing. If you're not sure
that the tube in your bathroom cabinet passes muster, try reaching under the sink and a
href="http://lifehacker.com/software/macgyver/macgyver-tip--smooth-a-scratched-dvd-with-pledge-190634.php"polishing
the disc with Pledge/a. The light wax can fill in the cracks and crevices and get you back to, uh,
being productive, of course./p h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"8. Mount ISO files as
virtual drives./h3 pimg
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_isodisk.jpg" width="202"
height="166" class="right" align="right"If you've backed up a favorite game disc, flick, or other
DVD to ISO, or just happened to grab one from the ether of the web, you might not always want to
spend the time, or spare DVD-R, on burning that imagemdash;and, besides, it'll run a lot faster
from a hard drive. Mounting an ISO image as if it were a real disc in a drive is an established
hack, and one that's pretty darned handy. We like a
href="http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html"Virtual CloneDrive/a for Windows, the
built-in Disk Utility in Mac OS X, and a href="http://www.acetoneiso.netsons.org/"AcetoneISO2/a for
Linux. They'll all save you a disk, and lend you that clever feeling that you've pulled a fast one
on your system somehow./p h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"7. Put Wikipedia on a
DVD./h3 pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_wikipedia.png"
width="134" height="154" class="right" align="right"To make the vast wealth of Wikipedia data
available to schools without constant internet access, the a
href="http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/children-charity.htm"SOS Children's Villages/a group
created a 2.9GB, 5,500-article edition of the user-edited encyclopedia, a
href="http://schools-wikipedia.org/"Wikipedia school edition/a, that puts 20 million words at the
fingertips of anyone who wants them. Great for on-the-go research (that you'll want to double-check
and properly source, of course), actual school use, and it's one BitTorrent download you'll want to
keep seeding after you're done grabbing it./p h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"6.
Create ISOs from DVDs./h3 pimg
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_free_iso_creators.jpg"
width="250" height="126" align="right" class="right"Need a copy of a DVD but lack for a blank? Want
to re-create that perfectly ripped DVD of emSpace Ghost/em episodes for multiple friends? An ISO
file is your best friend, because it works on any system in a ton of software apps. Windows users
have, for example, the a href="http://www.minidvdsoft.com/isocreator/index.html"Free ISO Creator/a,
Linux users can a
href="http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/create-iso-disk-images-and-generate-md5-checksums-268304.php"hack
one together from the terminal/a, and Mac users can a
href="http://macapper.com/2007/03/29/disk-images-create-virtual-disk-images-on-os-x/"create disk
images using the built-in Disk Utility/a. Grab a few DVDs you'd never want to lose to the ravages
of time and create an ISO you keep backed upmdash;one day, you'll be really glad you did./p h3
style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"5. Automatically catalog your DVD collection/h3 pimg
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_dvd_hunter.jpg" width="240"
height="150" class="right" align="right"If you're a film nut, pack rat, or some mix of both, it can
be all kinds of convenient to know what you've got on the shelf to watch, trade, or ripmdash;or
just print out and brag to your friends about. We've previously highlighted two free apps that can
do thatmdash;a href="http://www.emdb.tk/"Eric's Movie Database/a for Windows and a

src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_dvd_play.jpg" width="240"
height="140" class="right" align="right"There are lots of tools to rip video files from DVDs, but
most of those videos take a hit in quality for smaller file sizes. On the other hand, getting those
VIDEO_TS folders to just up and play isn't half as simple. At least, until you download
Lifehacker's own a
href="http://lifehacker.com/360658/browse-and-play-your-ripped-dvds-with-dvd-play"DVD Play/a tool,
which thumbnails Amazon cover art for any rips you've got stashed in a folder and plays them using
that multi-tool of multimedia, a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/"VLC Media Player/a. If you've
only got a few discs ripped onto your drive, or you just like to do it yourself, you can also check
out Hackszine's guide to a

iPod or iPhone for free./h3 pimg
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_ipod_movies.jpg" width="261"
height="144" class="right" align="right"The idea of watching TV episodes or entire movies from your
iPod sounds like an air travel veteran's dream, until one realizes that Apple entirely expects you
to pay separately for an iTunes copy of the flick. Skip that noise by using some really simple
workarounds. Rick Broida explained a while back how to a
href="http://lifehacker.com/software/ipod/alpha-geek-copy-dvds-to-your-ipod-235150.php"copy DVDs to
our iPod/a using the free a href="http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/"DVD Decrypter/a and a
href="http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/"Videora iPod Converter/a for Windows, and the
mighty a href="http://handbrake.fr/?article=download"HandBrake/a for Mac OS X. There's since been
Windows and Linux versions of HandBrake released, but two of your current Windows-using Lifehacker
editors have found the free version of the a href="http://www.smallvideosoft.com/download.php"Freez
iPod Video Converter/a to be a fast, reliable converter to iPod-friendly formats./p h3
style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"2. Burn any video file to a playable DVD./h3 pimg
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2008/11/top10_dvd_burner.jpg" width="280"
height="225" class="right" align="right"In most cases, the idea of burning nearly any flick to a
playable DVD is a lot easier than the implementation. Adam's run down an app and a method, however,
to a href="http://lifehacker.com/5082262/how-to-burn-any-video-file-to-a-playable-video-dvd"burning
any video file to a playable video DVD/a, using the a href="http://www.dvdflick.net/"DVD Flick/a
app for Windows. More than just converting data from any of 45 video file types, DVD Flick also
allows for custom menu creation and subtitle insertion. If DVD Flick doesn't agree with you,
there's also a href="http://www.minidvdsoft.com/dvdcreator/"DVD Creator/a, also for Windows and
also free./p h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"1. Rip DVDs to video with little fuss./h3

class="right" width="463" height="184" style="display:block;" /Let's guess that more than 90
percent of anyone trying to back up a DVD or play its video files on another platform don't want to
mess with bitrates, audio codecs, or answer any questions about "passes"mdash;just the playable

width="1" height="1" //divpWhere to start? This was bad. Quite possibly the worst we have seen from
an England side in recent times, which is saying something. Come back, Brian Ashton, all is
forgiven./pp/ppThere are mitigating circumstances, of course. For a start, this is a young and
inexperienced side, which is very unlike England, and we cannot suddenly complain about that when
for years we were moaning that they were too old. But this is a second profoundly sobering defeat
this autumn, with the All Blacks still to come, and so far there seems to be a distinct lack of
positives being taken from them./pp/ppIf there is inexperience on the field, there is even more of
it in the stands. At least everyone on the pitch has played rugby before. The man managing the
outfit has never managed anything before. It seems ridiculous to look at the battered brow of
Martin Johnson and call it inexperienced, but this is a new challenge for him –
and not new as in a new degree of difficulty; new as in he has literally never had a go at
it./pp/ppSo here is another scoreline to sit alongside the one of 36-0 that needs no introduction.
We had all assumed South Africa's annihilation of England in the pool stages of the last World Cup
had been a one-off, something we would not see again from a full-strength England side, let alone
one at playing at Twickenham. Well, England managed to score six points here, but otherwise this
scoreline is every bit as bad – indeed, worse as it incorporates the concession
of five tries./pp/ppIf only we could say South Africa were laceratingly brilliant. They did score a
couple of tries that might qualify as such, but the game had long since gone even by the time they
scored the first of them, which was with half an hour to go, when Adi Jacobs cut through off some
interplay between Ruan Pienaar and JP Pietersen. And the second came right at the end with the
score at 37-6, when Bryan Habana rounded off a happier afternoon than any he has experienced
lately, taking Pietersen's slipped pass for South Africa's fifth./pp/ppIt was illustrative that a
player such as Habana, whose laboured form has increasingly been the subject of scrutiny, should
suddenly look so fleet-footed again. Wales and Scotland have made the entire Springbok party take a
mournful look at themselves lately. Pieter de Villiers, the equally scrutinised coach, had
suggested that they were all just knackered and could not wait to go home to the beach./pp/ppBut
they were not so good, even here. It needs to be qualified that South Africa never turn on the
style until they know the opposition are beaten, and if they know it early enough the subsequent
scoreline can get ugly. In the first-half they were content to sit and watch England's enthusiastic
efforts, almost holding them at arm's length, like a schoolyard bully while the victim thrashes at
the air, unable to reach his target./pp/ppThe mistakes were not long in coming. England were
playing at a hundred miles an hour again, and having harried South Africa into mistakes of their
own they won a five-metre scrum./pp/ppEngland swung the ball backwards and forwards across the
South Africa defence, not even close to finding a way through. Within a few seconds, they had been
forced back to the 22, still swinging it back and forth, and then the inevitable mistake, a hack
down field by Ricky Januarie and a five-metre scrum at the other end for the Springboks. Inevitably
they scored from it in a way England could not – nothing flash, but a big, fast
back-row forward, Danie Rossouw (not even first choice), running through defenders weaker than he
is./pp/ppThe next error came from Danny Cipriani. The young fly-half faces the same sort of
challenge as his manager. Acclaimed as some kind of messiah before he had done a thing, his fickle
public are now having to deal with the fact that he may not be that. Only a fool would write either
Cipriani or Johnson off at this stage, but not as much of a fool as anyone who heralded either so
hastily as the answer to England's prayers./pp/ppThere were no slashing breaks yesterday to smooth
over the parts of Cipriani's game that are not working. The truth is he is a brilliant young
talent, who is not ready to run an international Test match at this level. The fact that he is
still probably the best option for his country at fly-half is neither here nor there. He received a
slow, looping pass from Danny Care on his 10-metre line at the end of the first quarter and was
almost as slow again in putting his boot to it. Pienaar charged down and cantered home for the free
points – 17-3 and it was already looking horrible./pp/ppCipriani never
recovered, despite landing a tricky penalty in the 28th minute, by which time Pienaar had landed
another of his own. It was a dire first-half. Tom Palmer suffered the indignity of being tactically
substituted after just over half an hour by the man he had probably hero-worshipped himself as a
young lock forward. He was not playing well and was loose with his discipline, but others have
played worse and not been so humiliated. It did not speak volumes for the equanimity of the
coaching panel./pp/ppAll round, this was a horror show for any Englishman who longed for the days
of Johnson's England (the one he was captain of), when everything seemed to be done on their terms
and in total control. The home side chased the game right to the end, but at times there were
players flinging the ball about, trying to find someone, anyone who felt they had something novel
to do with it./pp/ppJacobs's try was a rare moment of coherence from South Africa, but Jaques
Fourie's score with three minutes to go was a sickening farce. England spilled again off their
latest frantic attempt to score, and Fourie chased down the bouncing ball and outdid Delon Armitage
for the fourth try./pp/ppThere was still time for a fifth, though. And now South Africa can finally
head home to those longed-for beaches. If only England could say the same. The All Blacks are
next./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia

pWow, it looks like only my French readers are willing to comment... This is going to make the
discussion slightly harder than expected. Anyway, I'll try to respond in English so that non-French
speaking people can participate too./p p@Joey, who thinks that Webkit is more innovative than the
Mozilla codebase and that Mozilla should become innovative again:/p pI agree that competition
(excluding Microsoft) has become more competitive, emand this is good/em. Actually, it's
demonstrating that our goal, bringing back choice and innovation on the Internet was the right one,
and we're successful . So seeing increased competition is just what we wanted. I wished that IE6
and soon IE7 would die of a quick death so that the Web can move forward faster./p pBut I really
disagree when you consider Mozilla less innovative. Consider just a few things:/p ul liThe addons
ecosystem is fantastic when it comes to enabling innovation. 1 billion addons downloaded from our
site (not counting people that provide their addons from their own servers)./li liMozilla is
enabling quite a few experiments that I find really innovative. Just a few links: ul lia

emfantastic/em. Really. Try it. Hack it. It will blow your mind./li lia
href=http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/weave/ rel=nofollowWeave/a. Yes, there are other similar
projects around. But think what Weave brings in terms of emprivacy/em. This is why we have a
emData/em piece in the 2010 goals./li /ul/li liThe Mozilla Labs is very impressive when it comes to
enabling Open Innovation. I was at the recent Mozilla Labs night in Mountain View recently. Read a
href=http://www.toolness.com/wp/?p=308 rel=nofollowAtul's writeup/a and see what you've been
missing. And this is just the beginning./li liIn terms of standards support, particularly HTML 5,
I'm afraid you're misinformed. I wished you had seen the demo that Paul Rouget and I did last
October, on the 18th, in Lyon. We're leading in some cases, and Webkit is leading in some others.
That's Ok./li liWith regards to performance, there are 3 projects that lead the pack: Squirrelfish
extreme (Apple), V8 (Chrome) and TraceMonkey (Mozilla). Firefox 3.1 Beta will be released soon. You
should try it. I'm sure you'll love it. And you'll see that we're innovative in this part of the
game (it's just that the 2 proprietary vendors are waaayyyy behind)./li liMemory Management.
Remember a href=http://blog.pavlov.net/2008/03/11/firefox-3-memory-usage/ hreflang=en
rel=nofollowPavlov's post/a?/li /ul pActually, just have a look at the browser market:/p ol
liInternet Explorer. Backed my the giant in Redmond, with unlimited resources. Bundled with the OS
monopoly, which implies undeserved market share. Innovation? HTML 5 and SVG support? emNo
comment/em./li liFirefox, backed by Mozilla. Brought back competition, despite the fact that we're
the smallest player around. (around 200 employees worldwide, 200 million users). Distribution: word
of mouth to drive downloads. Innovation? See earlier. Standards support: great./li liWebkit,
supported by Google and Apple. Great funding, excellent marketing, benefiting (for Apple) from OS
bundling and distribution (OS X and iPhone). Also true for Webkit bundled with Android. Great
standards support./li liOpera. 500 employees. Great standards support. Distribution: similar to
Firefox, but different market share./li /ol pConsidering our size compared to our competitors, I
think we're doing pretty well, and I know that Mozilla is focused on shipping a great Firefox 3.1.
Maybe we're not leading in every part of the game - and this is ok - but considering our size,
we're doing more than our share, in my humble opinion./p

I have the First Generation iPod Touch (2.1 software) and the Apple Radio Remote. When I connect
the radio Remote into the bottom (dock connector) of the iPod it tells me that the accessory is not
supported.
My iPod IS JAILBROKEN so I am wondering if there is a hack that will let me use the FM radio with
my iPod. I would love to be able to do that, its a feature missing BADLY from the iPod.
Thanks very much!

Ever been out drinking and unsure if you’re too intoxicated to get in your car and drive
yourself home? Well it seems there is a new way to avoid those DUIs and it involves hacking your
iPhone and calling a cab. There is a new iPhone hack that can actually let you know if you’re
past the legal limit.
The hack does involve attaching a mouthpiece to your iPhone and turning it into a make shift
breathalyzer. The Breathalyzer computes your blood alcohol level and says that you’re either
drunk or good to go. If you’re drunk it gives you a nice and big button to push to call a
cab.
The guys over at Tellart said they made this video of the hack with a store bought breathalyzer
attached to an iPhone 3G. They also say they successfully did this by experimenting with
Tellart’s newest Sketchtool: NADA Mobile.
So I have no idea how easy, hard or even truly possible this hack is to do, but this would be a fun
device to pull out at the bar and use on all your drunk friends.

Copying black-and-white tones from an old photograph is easy, fun, and can look very authentic when
done properly. Have you ever looked at old, very subtly sepia-toned black and white photographs and
wondered how you can get the same effect with your own photographs? It is easy and fun to copy
black and white tones from one photograph to another with GIMP, the renowned free and open source
image editor. Here's how.

Read the full review over at Hack the iPod touch.
Quote: Thanks to the kind donation made by OtterBox, today I’ll be taking a look at
OtterBox’s Defender case ($29.95 US) for the 1st-generation iPod touch. I would like to thank
OtterBox, especially Kristin, for your donation. It’s appreciated.
Amongst the first things I noticed about this case is that the box is large! For the size of box
they package this case in, you could easily fit three of four Defender cases in there. I started to
wonder whether or not this has anything to do with the OtterBox name. We’ll open the box and
take an in-depth look at the case, across the jump.

On Rant theObject
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd....I took the plunge.
I installed iTunes 8.0.2 this morning then got the "2.2 is available, download me now" alert popped
up around lunch time. Almost instantly, I ignored it (left it up) and loaded iPod Touch Fans and
iPhone Dev's Blog, found out it was "safe" to update to 2.2 on all devices bar the iPhone 3G and
then read the feature list here. Since I lost my theme I was working on (Contempo) I reverted to
the Stock theme with only 2 JB' apps. I thought, "I'm not missing anything much"....well.....ME
MISS MY THEMEY!!!! I like all the fixes and stuff but my iPod without Cydia, WinterBoard, Respring,
Categories, Installer and **HACKED** Apps from AppStore (NO LINKS)** I now cannot apply my new
theme "Hiratai" to my device until the Dev Team release QuickPwn/PwnageTool 2.2.whatever.
The apps are MUCH faster, no lagging when closing apps, iPod App opens much quicker, Settings loads
quicker and my WiFi no longer drops out when loading a page in Safari. Don't get me wrong, I love
what Apple have made their Touch OS into and all, but they should just "OPEN IT UP" (Hint Hint) to
stop the Dev Team from having to constantly hack around and change carefully organized things, and
allow us to have Cydia by Default or even allow you to upload Touch Apps from your computer
(downloaded/jailbroken) in iTunes via the Apps tab.
That sounds great, but hey, how long did it take Apple to include App Store? And even then, they
still have "Concentration-Camp like" control over it. The Misfits (Apple) :D should make iPhone OS
more like Mac OS X and allow us to make and run our own Apps in Xcode and on iPhone/iPod Touch
without a special license for Personal use, if you want to sell it through App Store, a membership.
If you want to sell it externally, no membership. Just like how you make and sell OS X apps
today.
Apple,
It is getting a bit out of hand out here in the "real" world. We all love your products, but you
will end up having to make it like Mac OS X. Hacking is not going to stop until you listen to
us.

I unlocked the iPhone with the first free dev team procedure. It was a lot of manual stuff, and it
resulted in a corrupted seczone. Obviously things are a lot cleaner now, but it leaves early
adopters like me in the dust.
In the interest of allowing others to learn from my research/trials, I'm posting what I went
through (so if you see a similar problem you're having partway through, this might be useful) to
finally get to a pwned, 100% functional, 2.0.2 iPhone.
You can probably eliminate or condense a lot of these steps.
(Note, started using iTunes 7.5. You could/should probably start with iTunes 7.7.1.11, but I can't
verify that.)
1. Phone was working, at 1.0.2 plus corrupted seczone old-unlock-hack. Because of this, installer
wouldn't work right.
Tried manual installs / reinstalls of installer, but nothing worked. I even tried SSHing in and
manually running virginizer
scripts. Odd things happened; chmod didn't function correctly. The scripts wouldn't work; even if
executed individually.
I concluded I needed to restore to 1.0.2 and start over installing installer on a fresh iphone.
2. This appeared to work. I tried to use iliberty to free my fresh iphone, and it failed. I tried
to use winpwn,
and it also failed. At this point I noticed that my phone wasn't booting correctly any more. It was
getting the
"BSD root: md0, major2, minor0" error. None of George Zhu's proposed fixes via iliberty, restore,
nor DFU restore
helped.
3. I found a post that said to start at step 12 (actually , 11) of this post:
http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42046 and after DFU installing
firmware 1.1.1, the phone seems to
boot correctly again. I then DFU down to 1.0.2.
4. Attempting to use iLiberty to jailbreak, activate, and cydia the phone causes the purple usb
cable --> itunes logo screen and
subsequent boots have the "BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0" error. This is repaired by DFU
restoring to 1.1.1. (SIM card being
present doesn't matter; I checked)
5. This looks promising. I DFU restored to 1.0.2. http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10858
(This didn't actually go anywhere)
6. AppTappInstaller stopped in iPhoneComm.exe Stage 2, (4) Booting iPhone in recovery mode.
(I don't think this helped)
7. So I download iDemocracy: http://www.drakenza.com/Were_Done_Here.html and activate, then jailbreak.
I tried to "refurbish", then use iTunes to restore to 1.1.1 (yes, phone was in DFU mode) but that
caused an
itunes "2003" error.
8. Power off the iPhone; restart in DFU mode. Do the same operation: restore 1.1.1. Should work
this time.
9. Trying winpwn 2.5beta, I get to the "preparing pwnage DFU restore information", but I always get
"Failed to pwn
your device." I never get a countdown, and even trying to put the iphone in DFU mode and then
clicking "go"
doesn't seem to work.
10. Found a page saying that winpwn requires the iphone be at 1.1.4. Why do I have to find this out
via anecdote?
DFU, restore to 1.1.4.
11. Winpwn won't correctly do it. So I found that the .ipsw image is in "My Documents". Copy to
desktop, then try to DFU
restore via iTunes. Doesn't work. Found an anecdote in the older winpwn guide that iTunes 7.7 is
required, at minimum.
Installed itunes 7.7. Retried restore, got 1601 error from itunes.
12. Rebooted into DFU again, tried again, 1602 error from itunes.
13. Tried using expert mode on winpwn 2.5beta. Apparently easy mode doesn't actually work; it
creates the
restore image, but it never goes into the countdown code to pwn the phone. I upped the root
partition to 700mb per
some comments on the winpwn page, and it worked like a charm.
14. Installed iTunes 8.01. Reports are on the web that it works fine.
15. EDGE isn't configured. I find a post that references an apple tool for corporate iphone
config:
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/forums/...9&postcount=23
Install that tool and follow the directions. You may find your APN by looking here:
http://www.webmessenger.com/support/APN.jsp
I emailed the file to myself after connecting the iPhone to my local wifi.
16. Cydia only half-works, popping up a message that says "sub-process bzip2 returned...". This is
solved by
allowing Cydia to update all of its source sets (just click "changes" on the bottom and then
"upgrade (5)"
in the top right). |

For new bloggers looking to build up their reader base, it's not always enough just to write
well; you need to advertise, to get the word out. And what better way to advertise than with ads?
Unfortunately, most advertising online still leaves much to be desired, both for advertisers
trying to get noticed and for host sites trying to earn some cash. Many of the problems can be
traced back to ads' sole reliance on "click-through" -- the theory that a host website should
receive payment based on the number of visitors that actually click on the ads. But what other
alternatives exist to this pervasive ad model? Where can bloggers go to find something better?
The Problems with Click-Through
Click-through ads remain the most familiar form of Internet advertising to most websurfers. Most
ad services, including Google's AdSense,
still operate primarily on this model. Unfortunately, the click is plagued by the potential for
fraud, as some site owners resort to multi-clicking their own ads or setting up bots to do so for
them. (You can see Google has tried to address in its terms of service agreement, which, for
example, admonishes site owners against directing readers to click on the ads.)
Click-through ads also tend to be annoying for site owners. The desperation to catch the reader's
eye and entice him or her to click an ad has led to the proliferation of flashy but nonsensical
ads -- including display ads with an annoying dancing alien and about a million permutations of
the "Punch the Monkey and win a free (blank)" mini-game. There's also the fact that most
click-through ads aren't specific to the site where they appear -- they're usually generic
banners that will pop up on a site based on an algorithm that looks at key words. This can be
especially frustrating to bloggers, who often write about set topics only to have their sites
cluttered with unrelated ads.
"There's an industrywide discussion about the value of the click -- both how we're recording
clicks and how successful it is," said Matt DiPietro, Marketing Manager for FM Publishing, one of
several ad services pioneering alternatives to the click. "It's essentially the way that
marketers have been trained to think of the market online, but it's something that's evolving as
we speak."
If advertisers want to attract customers and bloggers want to make some money, it would behoove
both sides to look for something beyond the click-through. But what else is there? At least a few
companies have come up with some ideas.
Project Wonderful
One of the newer advertising services available is Project Wonderful, which throws out the click-through
method entirely. Ryan North, the cartoonist behind the popular webcomic Dinosaur Comics , first created Project Wonderful out of frustration
in dealing with traditional click-through advertising, instead replacing it with a system that
sells ads based on "air-time."
"You can't hack time unless you've got a time machine, and if you've got a time machine you've
hopefully got better things to do than defraud internet companies!" said North, "And around that
idea we've build this really responsive auction system, where you can say "I want my ad to be on
this site right away", and boom, it's up. And then ten days (or ten seconds!) later you can say
"You know what, I'd rather have it on this site instead", and you can cancel your existing bid
and you're only charged for the time your site is up."
North said that he designed Project Wonderful to be as fair and transparent as possible, tracking
traffic statistics, including hits, referrers, and country of origin for thirty days. It works on
a bidding system that he calls the infinite auction. Essentially, a
participating webmaster designates a set number of ad spaces on his or her page, and advertisers
bid to have their ads posted in those slots. The more advertisers bidding, the higher the price
goes and the more money earned for the webmaster. When nobody's bidding, the price of ads returns
to zero. (Participating blogs are allowed to set their own starting prices, but are encouraged to
let the marketplace set it for them.)
"The main advantages are responsiveness, value, and transparency," North told me. "Our system is
fine-grained enough that you can have your ad on a specific spot on a specific site at a specific
time, but broad enough that you can also say 'I want to be on these KINDS of sites' instead, and
not have to micromanage...I think we've built the only advertising network where it's not a
chore, where you have this fun atmosphere and a little competition going on between advertisers
and publishers. On top of that, our commission is only 25%, which means we give more money to our
publishers than elsewhere, and for advertisers, our prices are really fair and reasonable."
The auction system means that, when starting out, many sites essentially give away ad space for
free. It's a good deal for advertisers, as it means that they will always get the best possible
price. And so far, Project Wonderful is a buyer's market. Blogger Splitbrain
was disappointed to find he'd only earned 8 cents after 4 days of hosting ads through Project
Wonderful. Meanwhile, Penn State Finance student Jim blogging at The Net Fool praised the system as a good way
for the blogger on a budget to drum up traffic, comparing it to what would happen if "AdSense and
eBay got into a bad car wreck."
Currently, some blogs and websites with more-established readerships are able to sell a single ad
for as much as $70 a day, but, for most sites, ads range from only a few cents to $10. The system
seems to have caught on with webcomics, art sites, and related blogs. As of this writing, a small
frontpage Project Wonderful ad on comics blog The Comics
Curmudgeon goes for 70 cents a day, while an ad on North's Dinosaur Comics goes for $1.90.
For now at least, the real value of Project Wonderful to blogs might not be as a money-making
tool so much as a way to get affordable publicity. With over 8000 participating sites, the system
is good for a beginning blogger trying to get word out to the most sites for the lowest price.
Even some participants who might not earn a lot of money said that offering cheap ads for sale on
their sites is a good way to attract notice - and hopefully eventually build up a reader base.
This may be due to one unique aspect of the system which allows it to function as a
quasi-socializing network: Money earned through ads can be used to purchase ads on other sites,
blurring the distinction between advertisers and hosts. North said:
bq. I love it because, as a publisher, I'm making this money that I can take out at any time, but
I can also spend it right away on advertising my own site. And when I do that, it increases the
profile of my site and can then even increase the amount of money I'm making for advertising! So
that's fun and really convenient, but there's also this social thing you mentioned. That can take
the form of "You bid on my site so I'll bid on yours as a thank you at the end," or things like
"You bid on my site and I checked out your site and it's really great and I just wanted to drop
you a line to let you know!"
Project Wonderful really taught me the value of an endorsement. When we launched, I didn't do any
press for it at all -- I just signed myself up as the first publisher, put the ads up on Dinosaur
Comics, and let the network sell itself. It's why we took off in webcomics so quickly: people saw
it there and beneath our ad boxes is a message saying "Your ad could be here, right now, for just
$3.00" or whatever the going rate is. That got a lot of interest from both advertisers and
publishers, and the network sort of spread virally throughout that community, which was really
gratifying. It was nice to see that something I built to be helpful was actually being used in
that way, and that people were getting value from it. That's the best thing you can ask as a
developer!
Blogads
One advantage of Project Wonderful, from a small blogger's point of view, is that it's open to
the public. Other alternative advertising systems may be more selective, preferring to foster a
small network of high-priced blogs rather than a large one of cheap deals. That's the case with
Blogads, one of the early innovators in blog advertising.
Founded in 2002 by Henry Copeland as a network catering to political blogs, it has in recent
years expanded into a wide-ranging network that includes some of the most high-profile blogs on
the Internet, including Perezhilton.com , Cute Overload, and Failblog
.
For bloggers, entry to the system is by invitation only. But once accepted into the network, it
also does away with counting click-throughs as bloggers get to set their own ad rates. "Bloggers
set their own prices for a period of time -- one week, two weeks, one month, three months," said
Blogads CEO Copeland. "This method emphasizes the audience's quality and branding versus the very
transactional basis."
Copeland said that advertisers working through Blogads can be sure they'll reach a very specific
audience. Speaking via email, he differentiated Blogads from other ad systems, like Google
Adsense, noting that Blogads could be "purchased on specific blogs or groups of blogs."
As opposed to algorithm-generated click-through ads, advertisers using Blogads know exactly where
their ads will appear. That makes the system ideal, Copeland said, for "an advertiser looking to
make a mark with early adopters, opinion-makers and taste influencers. This could be a new brand
or service, an emerging politician, a new movie or book, or a cause." Copeland said:
Blog readers are responding to individual writer's unedited voices, so their loyalty tends to be
much more intense than that of readers of corporate publications. People obviously consume
information in lots of forms. We listen to the radio alone in the car. We watch TV with our
families. We read the newspaper alone on the subway. Each blog has its own distinct personality
and community feel. We read blogs as a participant in a community. It's like being in a movie
theater, versus at home alone... we're interested in how other people react as much as in our own
reaction. So this makes advertising on individual blogs, or groups of individual blogs, really
distinct.
In keeping with its focus on a more savvy audience, Blogads also emphasizes the aesthetics of ad
design with clear, focused ads that play on blog readers' love of words. A section on Great Blogads featuring examples of
some of the most successful, innovative blogads and commentary on what made them work, including
the campaign for the 2006 Audi A3
presented as an ongoing mystery story with clues in different ads.
Since Blogads works with many of the most popular blogs, advertising prices can be pretty high.
The number one ad spot on I Can Has Cheezeburger ,
your first stop for funny cat photos with Internet pidjin captions, costs $1,800 for a single
week. The price may be steep for a smaller advertiser, but consider that Blogads estimates a
top-placed ad will garner 11,909,512 views in that time. Prices vary widely depending on a
blogger's popularity, subject matter, or whims, and a week's worth of advertising on a less
well-known blog can run as low as $10 to $20 a week yet still be expected to get over 3000 views.
(The Blogads website says that the average Blogads member can make about $50 a month selling ads,
and claims that some make up to $5000.)
FM Publishing
One company that's latched onto the possibilities of social media to spread buzz is Federated Media Publishing. FM Publishing still works with
traditional Internet ads, but it specializes in what Matt DiPietro calls a "conversational
approach" to marketing. It's not geared as much to selling specific ads as it is to building a
brand -- using interactive tools to encourage audience participation and increasing name
recognition through a varied, holistic approach.
DiPietro doesn't think the familiar click-through ads are completely useless. Despite their often
scattershot approach, they're still a useful tool in the advertiser's arsenal -- but advertisers
have to be aware of their limitations.
"For one thing, they don't take advantage of the unique way that people interact online," he
said.
Like Blogads, FM Publishing works with a select group of high-traffic blogs and websites,
including Boing Boing , TechCrunch , and Ask a Ninja
. Pietro said that thousands of blogs apply to become part of FM's network every month, but, at
writing, the company works with a group of about 150. Most participants receive payment on a
50-50 revenue sharing basis, although DiPietro noted that each contract is different. FM
Publishing boasts over 50 million unique viewers mont | |
