Search marketing spending will grow by 14.9% in '09, to $12.3 billion
Search marketing is not recession-proof, but it is recession-resistant, eMarketer projection. Search is highly measurable, so it will maintain its place in many budgets and increase in some others. Total US Internet ad spending will increase to $25.7 billion in 2009, an 8.9% growth rate. That will be the lowest year-over-year increase for online advertising ever. Yet it will still be a robust increase compared with nearly all other media.

AltaVista pre-bust Kasparov commercial - Smart is Beautiful!
I was told the Pamela Anderson '30 sec did not test well in research at the time but some VP managed to get his jean's authographed ... and for the record, that was not my title. I understand folks got distracted and couldn't remember what the commercial was even about a search engine. How about Kasparov? Enjoy!

Baston because of LeWeb, really?!
"Vous allez vous réveiller ce matin en découvrant une joute blogosphérique entre Loic Le Meur et Michael Arrington. Michael publie un billet sur l’apparente inefficacité des entrepreneurs européens qui préférent prendre du temps à déjeuner, Loic répond en précisant que les américains connaissent mal l’Europe et demande même s’il faut inviter Michael l’an prochain, sur ce Michael se défend en disant que LeWeb préfère la censure au dialogue et menace “de ne plus envoyer de bloggeurs de TechCrunch” à la conférence et d’organiser un évènement le même jour. Loic répond que TechCrunch se défend en menaçant LeWeb."
I am no translator but I'll give it a shot ... and shut up about it.
Loic says Michael started it and Michael says Loic started it.
C'mon, I have two brothers, we had more fun than that growing up. Take the gloves off!

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and holiday Ecommerce
Cyber Monday experienced $846 million in online spending, making it the second highest online spending day recorded, a 15% increase, in online retail sales over last year according to comScore.
The gain is attributed to a 22% increase in the number of buyers, while the average dollars spent per buyer declined by 5 % versus a year ago. comScore reports that online retail sales from Nov. 1 to Dec. 1 were down 2% from a year ago, despite a 13% increase during the four-day period from Black Friday to Cyber Monday.
The proportion of time that consumers spent on e-commerce sites hit an all-time low in October at 12.8% (Online Publishers Association).
Consumers will continue to shift their gift buying online this holiday season, citing convenience, time constraints, and price among the primary reasons for shopping on the web, according to a Nielsen Online pre-holiday survey.
In Europe, comScore reports that in both the U.K. and Germany, the Christmas shopping season appears to be well underway, with visitation to online retail sites up 10% and 11% respectively in November compared to the base period average. Christmas shopping in France traditionally begins a bit later in the year and the 2008 season is no exception, with French retail site visitor growth up just 6% through the final week of November.
