It can’t be true….can it?
I was asked one of those questions today. You know the sort. It starts off and you think, this is going to be an easy one. I’ll deal with it like a batsman seeing the cricket ball coming down the wicket like a football. And then you think, hang-on, he’s got something there.
So Mike says (for he was called Mike):
“Do you think Yahoo! have slowed down their site when you are logging onto email?”…. (I’m thinking, huh? Dumb question.)
“So that you have time to view the video ad that is running next to the log-in box”…..(I’m thinking no way….surely not….hmm….)
And then as Hong Kong Phooey once famously said “COULD BE?!”.
It’s true that TV adverts often play louder than the programmes they interupt to get our attention. And in Italy when it’s a TV station that Silvio Berlusconi owns and an ad for a company he owns, they play even louder. But surely a company as mighty as Yahoo! wouldn’t slow down their site.
No. That’s ridiculous……….isn’t it?
