Cox University of Sheffield, UK [email protected] Abstract The “photosharing” site Flickr is one of the most commonly cited examples used to define Web2.0. This paper explores where Flickr’s real novelty lies, examining its functionality and its place in the world of amateur photography. The paper draws on a wide range of sources including published interviews with its developers, user opinions expressed in forums, telephone interviews and content analysis of user profiles and activity. Flickr’s development path passes from an innovative social game to a relatively familiar model of a website, itself developed through intense user participation but later stabilising with the reassertion of a commercial relationship to the membership. The broader context of the impact of Flickr is examined by looking at the institutions of amateur photography and particularly the code of pictorialism promoted by the clubs and industry during the C20th. The nature of Flickr as a benign space is premised on the way the democratic potential of photography is controlled by such institutions.

  • 40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads
    40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads Apple was founded on April fools day in 1976. It’s first office was Steve Jobs’ parents’ garage: And it’s first products were humble: Steve Jobs was obsessed with poets, and he and Woz both drew inspiration from one of the best, Bob Dylan. Any great folklorist will tell you that Apple’s origins met the primary criteria for future exaltation. They were humble, poor, and hard working. From those origins, Apple has grown to a global behemoth with over $269 billion dollars in the bank. One of the (many) things that helped Apple get to where it is today is a mastery of advertising. This article presents 40 of the best Apple ads over 40 years and draws 40 lessons from each. It spans 1977’s “Simplicity” all the way to “The Rock x Siri Dominate the Day.” 1977 — “Simplicity” (https://archive.org/details/Apple_II_-_Simplicity_is_the_ultimate_sophistication) “Apple II will change the way you think about computers.” This is an introduction to the Apple II. It displays the features of the device with a clear emphasis on personal computing. The idea of having a personal computer was very new at the time; many people didn’t think there was a use for a computer at home. The lesson: When you’re introducing something new, keep it simple. 1978 — “Bestselling” (http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/MiscAds/a2bestselling1.jpg) “Since we developed Apple II in April 1977, more people have chosen our computer than all other personal computers combined.” Apple opens the brochure with the above quote, providing social proof from buyers.

    A SUPPLEMENT TO FACT PACK 2007 IN ASSOCIATION WITH Published November 5, 2007 © Copyright 2007 Crain Communications Inc. MARKETING Search Marketing Fact Pack 2007 | Advertising Age | 3 SEARCH MARKETING THE WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN OF SEARCH. AND HOW. SEARCH. BY NOW MARKETERS don’t need anyone to tell them that it’s important and that they should be paying attention to it. After all, search composes 40% of online ad spending and is becoming an ever-more-important driver of traffic across the web. Almost a quarter of September web traffic came from search engines, up from 20% last year (Page 20). Those trends mean there continues to be a thirst for quality information around the channel, what its major players are up to and how best to use it. In our annual Search Marketing Fact Pack, Ad Age culls much of that data into one handy guide that can sit on your desk all year long. (Download extra Fact Packs from the DataCenter at AdAge.com.) It’s been a year of big changes for major search engines. Yahoo in early 2007 rolled out its much-watched Panama search system, which factored in an ad’s relevancy as well as bid price to determine placement. Google introduced a universal search system that incorporated multiple media categories, such as images, video, local and books, into its results. And Ask.com garnered positive reviews for its new “Ask3D” system meant to help users find what they’re looking for faster. Profiles of the top five search players, starting on Page 10, outline each company’s financial and share results and what to watch for in the year ahead.
