    Last night I was watching the premiere of House and noticed a commercial from Apple:

    I was dying laughing my ass off! With the launch of Mircosoft Vista yesterday, the timing was perfect by Apple. It is like Steve Jobs stealing Bill Gates’s ice cream cone and then slapping him in the face.

    My next laptop purchase might just have to a mac…… (ARG! Their marketing efforts are working).

  • Microsoft AdCenter New Features

    I received an email today from Microsoft regarding Adcenter improvements. They have implemented “Divide across the month” feature which will help ads appear more consistently throughout the month. They also added new information to your Budget Summary report called Average Participation Rate.

    Here are the highlights:

  • Your daily ad delivery will be filtered to distribute more evenly across the month.
  • Because of this process, ads may not display on every search query. This is meant to avoid excessive clicks that might cause budget depletion.
  • You’ll see a new column in your Budget Summary reports, called Average Participation Rate (Average PR), to help you estimate how your ad delivery is filtered throughout the month.
  • It is good to see Adcenter evolving, but If no one is using your live.com search then who is actually going to us Adcenter. Maybe people that have the budget or want to try it out, but for first time PPC user they will turn to Adwords or Yahoo’s new Panama.

    I logged into my msn account last night and noticed some pretty neat changes. They are going 2.0. They are jumping on the 2.0 wagon so hold on! Wait are you shocked that I have an msn account? Don’t be it was from back in the day when I thought SEO stood for “Sweet Electric Oreo”. Dont worry I do have a gmail account. Funny thing is I like my msn account better. Here are few screenshots.

    Cool rounded images!
