Words are morphing into blog forms right and left. Today Harish told me he was going to a screening of a blogumentary tomorrow night.
I want to create the first official blogertisement (blog + advertisement).
Blog Ads already exist. Blog ads are just an attempt to take 20th century advertising methods and apply them to blogs. When you purchase a blog ad, you purchase the right to use a set amount of space on a blog. This is no different than a print ad or a television spot.
A blogertisement is a 21st century method of advertising. A blogertisement is blog built from the beginning with an intended purpose of advertising an idea, product, cause, or organization. In a blogertisement the readers and writers take ownership and organic control of the blogertisement. Readers and writers go to the blogertisement because they are already interested whatever is being advertised.
Such 21st century advertising should eliminate the advertising "ambient noise" with which 20th century advertising methods bombard viewers. Viewers control the 21st Century advertising medium. Blogertisements provide a win-win situation viewers are empowered and advertising costs will decrease.
So I don't get what the difference between a blogertisment and a blog. Also, the blogertisment sounds less trustworthy.
