ADivertido 2 anos ( e de cara nova)

2anos.jpgFoi na semana passada (dia 2 de março) que o ADivertido comemorou seus 2 anos de idade.
Mas como a minha intenção era aliar o post de aniversário com a apresentação do novo layout do blog, resolvi fazer tudo isto em um só dia. E esse dia é hoje.

Neste instante da trajetória, o blog conta com uma média de 2 mil à 3 mil leitores únicos/por dia. Ultrapassando os 4 mil page views diários, o ADivertido já não é só mais um hobby meu. É coisa séria.

Me ajudando no trabalho e na vida pessoal, dentre tantas conquistas alcançadas ao longo desse período, ficamos na terceira e satisfatória colocação entre os “Melhores Blogs de Publicidade do Brasil“. Sem falar na escolha do ADivertido entre os “10 melhores blogs do país”, segundo o concurso Peixe Grande (categoria voto popular), organizado pela revista Web Design.

Ainda em 2008, fomos parar no iPhone e em praticamente todos os aparelhos móveis do país, graças à uma parceria com a Hands, pioneira em mobile advertising, por aqui (Brasil).

Contudo, nosso (até então) colaborador Marcel Maineri, que estava com sérios problemas de tempo para continuar postando e colaborando com o ADivertido, acabou deixando, definitivamente, a nossa casa. Em um comum acordo, eu e o Marcel decidimos esperar as coisas se ajeitarem no seu trabalho e faculdade para uma possível volta sua, como colaborador.

E  sem deixar as estruturas serem abaladas, estarei preparando as melhores atividades para atrair cada vez mais as pessoas “antenadas” e interessadas no que há de melhor na propaganda nacional e internacional. Até porque, este é e sempre será o meu objetivo: compartilhar tudo que há de melhor na comunicação nacional e internacional.

Muito obrigado a todas as pessoas que contribuem diariamente com o blog: leitores, amigos, parceiros e as pessoas da minha família e trabalho, que sempre estão ao meu lado me motivando para que eu nunca perca a qualidade e a paixão pelo conteúdo que sempre busco e reflito.

Um abraço,

Gabriel Jacob

Plentyoffish.com is Everyone’s Favorite Internet Dating Site

h5b

Most singles who browse the web are not only after information. Some even go as far as looking for love as well. And when one asks which site is best, check out Plentyoffish.com. It is the top ranked and favorite site that most online dating addicts are into these days.

Plentyoffish.com is now the official #1 online dating site in both the USA and the UK according to Hitwise and is quickly gaining the reputation for being the site where people meet their true love. At least that’s the case in San Diego, California.

“The notion that people have to pay a dating site big money to meet somebody is outdated.” Says Frind, “the truth of the matter is that POF.com offers people the chance to meet and interact with over ten million singles without having to add more to their credit card debt. When our members meet someone on the site, they still have some money for the actual date. That can be a pretty big challenge in this economy.”

Economy Accelerates Shift Away From Upfront Buying

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — With the economy flailing, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that TV-ad sales for next fall's prime-time schedule are primed to droop. Behind the scenes, however, lies something potentially more drastic. The dreary financial climate could trigger a permanent transformation in how shows such as "Lost" and "American Idol" are bought and sold.
