Internet outstripping print as preferred medium
by Jeni Bone on 24 Jan 2012
Its not just iPads, low cost Tablets have dramatically expanded Internet access - they are read on the train, on the bus, in the smallest rooms, while watching TV MarineBusiness-World.com .
Around the world, as internet connectivity leaps ahead with the popularity of Smart phones and tablet technology, as well as soon to be commonplace web-enabled TV, online advertising is outstripping all print media.
According to the latest report from eMarketer, for the first time ever, online advertising will surpass print in terms of spend, growing 23.3% to US$39.5 billion during 2012. In the US alone, online ad spending will post growth well above 20% this year to reach nearly US$40 billion, as the internet continues to prove its worth to advertisers in a tough economic climate.
Online is where the consumers research, compare and converse about products, from CDs to boats, and it's where advertisers are seeking to pitch their offering.
'Advertisers' comfort level with integrated marketing is greater than ever, and this is helping more advertisers, and more large brands, put a greater share of dollars online,' said David Hallerman, eMarketer principal analyst.
Double-digit growth is expected through 2014, when US online ad spending will reach US$52.8 billion. In 2016, the eMarketer study anticipates advertisers will spend US$62 billion online.
Fast growth has put online ahead of some traditional media, especially print newspapers and magazines. This year, US online ad spending will exceed the total spent on print magazines and newspapers for the first time, at US$39.5 billion vs US$33.8 billion. And as online shoots up, the print total will continue to drop.
Technology is leading the push for online advertising. The share of adults in the US who own tablet computers nearly doubled from 10% to 19% between mid-December and early January and the same surge in growth also applied to e-book readers, which also jumped from 10% to 19% over the same time period - thanks to Christmas gift giving and the flow on by word-of-mouth recommendation.
The number of Americans owning at least one of these digital reading devices jumped from 18% in December to 29% in January.
From a marine industry perspective, advertisers are migrating in rising numbers, turning their ad budgets upside down. Analysts are adamant that to avoid losing market influence and share of consumer attention, brands and retailers need to invest their ad dollars online.
Steve Allen, media analyst and MD at Fusion Strategy, says that in Australia, online advertising surpassed magazines 'two or three years ago' and is likely to overtake newspapers this year.
Allen asserts that in the marine sector, consumer activity and confidence online depends entirely on how people buy goods. 'They may research at a bricks and mortar retail level, then go online and compare, then buy, as long as they know they have the security of warranty or being able to get help if something goes wrong. There are many people who wouldn't be confident to buy online, but many, younger consumers who know what they're doing and do purchase from the net.'
The key to successful e-tail sites, says Allen, is that they are engineered with the consumer in mind. 'Some are clearly falling short, but the new generation of e-tail sites are putting consumers at ease.'
Allen says it's not all about buying online, as branding advertising 'is coming in to its own' amd advertisers become more adept at tailoring campaigns, including more frequently, video components, to the online space.
Thanks to the popularity of smart phones, tablets, laptops,netbooks and connected TV, the stature of the Internet as the number one media and information source is an absolute reality. Commentators and analysts forecast the net will overtake newspapers this year in Australia for their share of ad revenue, having already outstripped magazines three years ago.
While there is still a sentimentality for traditional media among consumers, advertisers are moving away in droves as circulations fall.
Advertisers who have yet to dip a toe in online advertising are missing out on the consumer wave of technology that accommodates branding, campaign and retail advertising, reaching the tech-savvy, cashed-up consumers who are confident to research and buy online. If you don't have at least 50% of your ad budget online, you are missing out on the key market growth area.
Marine industry groups wanting to reach the online market - are in the right place right now.

Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Although they will be one of the last of the six teams to launch an AC45 Surrogate, Emirates Team New Zealand may have stolen a march with a boat that is as close as you can get to an AC50.

|Check-in before
Nice place and great pool. BUT too expensive! Bad kitchenequipments. Expensive sheets and towels. Not value with the money!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! Exactly what you see in pictures, except there isn't actually a balcony. Just a glass door with railings right behind it. The area was by far our favourite in Barcelona. Truly unique and enjoyable to just walk around at any time of the day. The stairs are a frightening first impression, 57 in a small spiral staircase, but still definitely worth the mission. But yes, pack light!
Thank you Maria for your kind hospitality, suggestions and being readily available for anything we needed.
I definitely recommend :)
Very disappointed at the standard of the apartment and the arrival and departure procedure! This apartment was let through Wimdu by Interhome. I will never book anything let by Interhome again. Having made the booking and paid for it we were totally unaware until one week before departure that bed linen and towels were not included and an extra charge was levied (Euro 28 for sheets and 12 for towels). When I challenged Interhome on non disclosure of information they told me it was in the small print: having trawled though every last word I found it in tiny print under Cancellation Policy! Again I challenged Interhome about deliberately placing this important piece of information where nobody will think to look. It should be clearly displayed on the webpage under Amenities where a note can be posted in the relevant area for all to see.
Arrival procedure - what a nonsense. Having paid for the sheets you have to collect them in person from the office. We made it by the skin of our teeth before the office closed for the weekend. Because our flight was delayed we arrived in Chamonix later than expected and had the office been closed we would have had no sheets at all! They are bulky to carry and I have photos of my husband looking like Santa Clause with a big white sack over his shoulder. It's the height of nonsense to expect arrivals to lug luggage and carry this bulky bad around Chamonix. On departure we had to return the sheets to the office again in said bag!
End cleaning - the previous tenant had presumably paid therefore we expected a clean apartment. The hard surfaces were clean but the living room carpet was disgusting with stains and grime and dirty black marks (photographed). It needs either professionally deep cleaned or dumped. Personally I would replace it. My bed sheet had a dirty brown mark on it (photographed) and the "white" patio furniture was grey with grime. I don't think it had been cleaned in years. Before I would set as much as a mug on it I scrubbed it with the dish scrubber (which I then couldn't use on the dishes!). Again we have photographic evidence. The best feature of the apartment is the wonderful view of Mont Blanc from the balcony. I don't know who is employed to clean this apartment but they could do with a lesson or two. I will never use Interhome again and I recommend that you steer clear of it too. I've used Wimdu many times and always been satisfied but not on this occasion.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).

I am getting a 404 error when Worldpay is doing a callback request to one of my Shopperpress pages. The page works fine as I have tested it with a Javascript webpage using the Worldpay request, which is:
POST /callback/?installation=239267&msgType=authResult HTTP/1.0
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
Host: www.greenfrogdesigns.co.uk
Content-Length: 806
User-Agent: WJHRO/1.0 (WorldPay Java HTTP Request Object)
Worldpay think it might be a data encoding issue as the content type for their payment response (callback) is as follows:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
They suggest that the server needs to recognize the data type. Tried setting up a new user-defined MIME TYPE "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" with Extension "x-www-form-urlencoded" but this didn't work - so I may have set the wrong extension.
Research on the web, meanwhile, showed it might be due to security on the webserver, and the fix is suggested as editing .htaccess to include the lines:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
So I looked at my .htaccess file and it currently reads:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
AddType application/x-www-form-urlencoded x-www-form-urlencoded
The last line is interesting - I didn't put it there! Anyone got any clues as to what is the real problem and what the likely fix is? Help greatly appreciated.

The cerebellum is a key brain region for motor control and coordination and its microcircuitry is a much-studied system in neuroscience. For researchers interested in understanding how the mammalian cerebellum develops, the Cerebellar Development Transcriptome Database (CDT-DB) is a great online resource. The website offers access to a database of spatiotemporal gene expression profiles for genes expressed in the developing cerebellum, drawing upon data from a variety of experimental approaches including in situ hybridization, cDNA microarrays, and RT-PCR. The "about" section of the website provides site visitors with a comprehensive overview of the CDT-DB Project, the database itself, and the methods used to collect data. While users can use the gene search option to search for individual genes, a perhaps more useful feature is the expression data search, wherein users can search for one or many of the following parameters: spatial expression, developmental temporal expression pattern, brain distribution, and brain specificity.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6. I have installed Virtual Box 4.1.0 in it. My Guest OS is Ubuntu Server 11.04. I have added a rule in Port Forwarding in Virtual Box ->
"guestssh" TCP 127.0.1.1 8080 127.0.0.1 1337
Inside Guest OS I'm running nodejs server. Code is nothing but simple helloworld code found on their site http://nodejs.org/. In short I'm running server on 127.0.0.1 on 1337 Port.
Now according to rule I have given, from Host Machine all the requests for 127.0.1.1:8080 should be forwarded to 127.0.0.1:1337 of Guest OS. From Host I'm doing
curl http://127.0.1.1:8080 and I'm getting curl: (7) couldn't connect to host Is there something am I doing wrong?
Note- Don't give me suggestion to do ssh n all. As my ISP does not provide Internal LAN so its not possible in my case. All I can do it Port Forwarding.

DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks managed to dig themselves out of the hole this time.
That doesn't make the trend of terrible first quarters any less troubling.
The Mavericks opened their 98-93 win Tuesday night over the Detroit Pistons with a dozen minutes of miserable offensive basketball, scoring 14 points on 28.6 percent shooting. And that was actually an improvement over their last first quarter, when they set the tone for Sunday's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers with a bricklaying clinic (13 points on 16.6 percent shooting).
Perhaps fatigue could be pinpointed as the problem, since the trip to LA was the butt end of a back-to-back and the finale of a three-game road trip. Only one problem with that theory: The Mavs opened the trip by sputtering to 17 points in the first quarter of a loss to the Houston Rockets.
"I don't want to say slump, but we're starting out slow," point guard Jason Kidd said. "We've got to recognize that and address it."
The solution might to change the starting lineup.
The plan entering the season was to slide Josh Howard, a former All-Star at small forward, over to shooting guard to make room for Shawn Marion. However, Howard's surgically repaired left ankle put those plans on hold. Howard has come off the bench since returning in early December, allowing coach Rick Carlisle to manage his minutes while easing him back into the Mavs' mix.
J.J. Barea, who is generously listed as a 6-footer, has filled in as Kidd's starting backcourt partner. For a while, Barea also filled Howard's customary role as the Mavs' "energy bunny early in games," as Dirk Nowitzki puts it.
But the going has gotten much tougher for Barea, who has defensive deficiencies due to his size, now that he's become a focal point of foes' scouting reports. He's had a total of two points on 1-of-9 shooting in the three recent first quarters in which the Mavs were held to the teens.
Despite his diminutive status, Barea is at his best when he's penetrating and finishing in the paint, but opponents have made that difficult by "showing" more with the big men on pick-and-rolls. His outside touch has also abandoned him recently. His scoreless performance against the Pistons marked the seventh consecutive game that he hasn't made a 3-pointer.
"They're paying more attention to me, so it makes it a little harder, but I think it's all about my outside shot," Barea said. "If my outside shot goes in, it's easier to attack."
The question the coaches have to answer is would it benefit the Mavs -- and Barea -- to return the undersized combo guard to his change-of-pace role as a reserve.
"We'll just roll from game to game and see what happens," said Nowitzki, who was scoreless in the first quarter against the Pistons but finished with 22 points. "There are going to be some games where he can't start, where's he just too little, I think, against bigger, physical lineups."
Carlisle declined to discuss his thoughts on the issue, preferring to focus on the "energy and disposition" he wants the Mavs to play with at the beginning of games. Sixth man Jason Terry, who scored a game-high 26 points, started the second half instead of Barea.
Howard has played 30 or more minutes in four of the last five games, an indication that his health isn't holding him back from reclaiming his role as a starter. That would represent a significant adjustment for the Mavs, who would rely much more on moving and cutting and less on pick-and-rolls at the beginning of games with their "big" lineup on the floor.
It's a matter of when the timing is right to make that move. That might be now, with the Mavs trying to figure out how to get out of their early-game rut.

Thanks about SNPP! I spend about 2-3 hrs a week on /upcoming/uk.html and about an hour on other files.

They must be well into their 60s by now! Chucklevision is still going, but To Me To You isn't, far as I know.

That's a crazy list how on Earth did you manage to compile it all up ? Anyway, I will now offer of few comments... Allo Allo simply loved it so silly favorite characters were probably Michelle from la Résistance "Listen carefully as I will say this only once" and of course Lt Grüber and his little tank and well, all of them actually
3rd rock from the sun, I got to catch on the BBC once in a while, it's a shame it never was properly broadcasted on belgian or french channels
Ok, I'll stick to commenting on TV series cos I've seen most of the cartoons and kids' shows and quizz shows too as I do watch BBC much more than my fellow belgians but then this comment would never end
AbFab hmm, never really was a big fan and last Christmas special episode was a bit of letdown, wasn't it ? Saffy's hubby having many wives was a sad joke and the end shot when they sit in the furniture shop window was no surprise
Ant & Dec are gay and they sleep together, don't they ?
Oh, what's the "science for kids" show called that I caught the other sunday morning featuring a cute blonde and a very yummy indian-type girl explaining air pressure and why some animals walk on water and can you tell me the name of those two presenters ?
Bruce Forsyth looks creepy, doesn't he ? It's like he's got fake hair and a fake nose and most definitely a fake chin
Ah, the big Dennis the Menace debate... I side with British Dennis cos he's simply much cooler and he's got great pets, do you care about this debate ?
Ok, I'll finish here by telling you that my favorite SClub girl was Tina
- Login to post comments
Haha, trust me, this list took hours, and I'm sure I'm still missing plenty! ;)
Interesting comments there. Agreed on Allo Allo and 3rd Rock, completely: I never did catch 3rd Rock on BBC, but I managed to see it a few times on Paramount Comedy (not sure if you have that channel over there). Nice to know you watch plenty of BBC! :)
I don't like Ab Fab either really, just caught the odd episode. Didn't see the last Christmas ep so I couldn't really comment.
Ant & Dec - matter of opinion. :D
Not sure what that show you mentioned is.. what channel was it on? And any idea of what the time was? A glance at my TV guide reveals little..
I agree with your thoughts on Bruce Forsyth.. IMO he's 'past it' now and should give up presenting straight away! :)
Completely in agreement with British Dennis being better - Gnasher is fantastic and c'mon, he's a lot more entertaining that that poor American excuse for a menace!
My fave SClub girl was Rachel. :)
- Login to post comments
sorry to butt in but..i agree with cramoukji..Tina Was hot!
- Login to post comments
Yeaaahh a fellow Tina fan... I always wondered why she would not get a better role as the other four... Rachel is obviously the consensus cutie and in the first series she was the only one with a boyfriend, she even played with the idea of going back to the UK to be with him, if you remember... and Hannah would be the very energetic one, kind of Sporty SClub, and she eventually has an affair with Paul... and Jo, she's not very cute but she's the only real singer of the bunch and she always knew how to fix their car in the second series... Tina was mostly stuck with playing reparties with Jon, in fact I suspect that she could have had a secret crush on him but Jon's sexual preferences obviously prevented any carnal consumption between the two...
any thoughts ?
- Login to post comments
well i have to admit to not actually seeing much of the show, but i remember her from the band (songs / music videos) but from what i did see of the show it seemed as if Rachel was always the popular one, which was very annoying. it seemed as if she WAS THE BAND and no one lese matteredd which was very irrating! Tina was hot and had lots of talent.
Also i completely agrre with your views on Bruce Forsyth, ive alwys hated him. he's about 70 and still has young hot girls all over him, wazz up
wit dat??
- Login to post comments
well, the sad truth is that Rachel Stevens is the one left with a career now
- Login to post comments
As for that science show with the two cute presenters I saw that about six weeks ago on a sunday morning on the BBC 2 children's show, the show with the monkey puppet with half an ear that grunts instead of speaking like real puppets should, like Aardvark, he can talk well Mister Blobby doesn't technically talk but he's not really a puppet

Did you see the 2006 Celebrity Big Brother - incredible. I find the celebs far more provocative and outspoken than real people.
- Login to post comments
I did see it, yeah, though I didn't watch the rest of the series - I heard plenty about it in the tabloids though. You're right about celebs being more provocative - Galloway and Barrymore were verging on ridculous at points!
- Login to post comments
Great to see Buffy and Angel there; I'm hoping that since you've seen both, you dug them.
I have some recommendations:
Firefly - Yeah, this one's no surprise coming from me, Mr. Browncoat. But it's an excellent series with incredibly great production values, genius dialogue, well-developed characters, and it's just all-around brilliant. It's like Star Trek from the point of view of the criminals the Starfleet Federation track down (except here they're called the Anglo-Sino Alliance).
Veronica Mars - I've only seen the first season (the series is in its second right now, and since I can't find the episodes to download anywhere, I'm gonna unfortunately have to wait for the S2 box set), but it's a great series. It's drawn many parallels to Buffy, in that it's the story of a resourceful, clever, and sarcastic teen who has to deal with a troubled past and unending mysteries. But they really are two very different shows; and almost on par with one another...though Buffy comes out on top.
Lost - I'm only four discs into the first season thus far, but it is absolutely brilliant. I tried to avoid it at first because I was sure it would be just like J.J. Abrams' other series, Alias, in that it had false characters with false emotions and focused primarily on the puzzles at hand. Thank God I was wrong. It's a genius character drama with an amazingly twisty plot and background details one has to scour to find. You just can't casually watch this. You have to pay rapt attention to what's going on in the foreground and the background. Once you get into this, it doesn't let go. It devours you!
Arrested Development - The best sitcom in television history. It's unrelentingly hilarious and with brilliant characters, though its last four episodes are airing this week. :'( Hopefully, Showtime or ABC will pick it up, as they have showed interest...I'm praying...
EDIT: Whoops, just noticed you said this list was wildly out of date. Thus, you may have seen some--if not all--of my recommendations. Ah, well. Plus, Angel is listed twice.
- Login to post comments
Thanks very much for the post!
Yeah, the list is wildly out of date -- and I have seen all four of your recommendations!
My thoughts on each:
Arrested Development - Brilliant, sharp, clever, one of the best sitcoms I've seen. I've got season 1 on DVD in fact, and I'm soon to get S2. Perfectly acted, perfectly scripted. Genius.
Lost - Also great; though I prefer 24 and West Wing for US drama, this comes close. Very well-crafted to say the least. Must pick up the DVD set soon.
Veronica Mars - Very, very good too; myself, I actually prefer Veronica to Buffy! Plus, Kristen Bell is hot. :-)
Firefly - Only caught one episode of this, I really should see more. Seemed good though; I can understand the whole cult following thing. After I catch up with Buffy and Angel, having seen little of each, perhaps I shall catch up with Firefly!
Ta for the tip-off about Angel. I've a week home from school this week, I'll try and make this thing up to date!
Anyone reading this, by the way, all recommendations (or just reminders of shows you think I've seen and haven't listed!) are welcome!
- Login to post comments
Recommendation:   Chancer   starring Clive Owen - British TV at its very best.

Ta, I'll try to check it out!

Wezzo, whats your opinon on two and a half men, i'm really warming to it. i expected it to be light harmless fun, but with a 15 rating, theres some good jokes in there, great writting in parts, you like it ?
- Login to post comments
Yeah, it is often very good. I must confess I haven't seen it all that often, but when I have seen it I've enjoyed it. Perhaps one for the DVD wishlist.. :-)

nice Nimes page :)
G'day Mark. Rabbit Pizza? Fancy that haha. Enjoyed your pages. Cheers, Ann :o)
Great page!
Very beautiful pics. You should come back one day in spring or summer, or even during one of the three ferias to enjoy the sun as well.
Great photos and tips! Nimes has a great amphitheatre. A similar place you may want to check out in the future is Arles!
