Stuff I Said
Remarkably little of what I and others said in the beginning
of the commercial Internet actually survives. Here's a selection
of what's left of my early words.

"I envision a
future in which we all are required to build advertising sheilds
around our email boxes, and advertisers constantly mutate
their From fields to duck under our defenses and pelt us with
ads." |

"In the current environment,
folks have enough energy to flame the occasional advertiser
that oversteps the bounds. But what if there weren't a few,
but hundreds of advertisers? Who's got the time or energy
to flame then? Unless there are guidelines, or firmly established
etiquette, I feel that most people will just install filters,
or otherwise do their best to ignore unsolicited advertisements.” |

"Changing the paradigm
will be extremely difficult as long as the current paradigm
works, and works as well as it does. The fact that advertising
is likely to be less costly via electronic mail will just
reinforce the current way of doing things." |

" . . . in Japan, these
same companies sell TVs (or maybe just add ons, I forget)
that will mute the TV at the beginning of a commercial. The
reason such things work is due to an electronic glitch that
occurs on Japanese TV when the broadcast switches to and from
commercials." |

"I doubt that advertisers
will be satisfied with the bulletin board (or billboard)
[or banner] mode, just as they are worried about viewers
who mute commercials (although they are a minority, I find)
or zap them when watching shows on tape. Advertisers do not
want the user to be in control of the message, they want the
message to be presented regardless." |

“For us, the Prodigy
browser because of its caching, makes their users go through
a few extra steps that people using other browsers don't.
This is even after we modified our code to help the Prodigy
browser.” |

"I looked around
our organization, and there were remarkably few people who
had a clue about the Web, and nobody was available to work
on the project," says Ellsworth. |

“The number of hits
quantification is based on current paradigms of advertising,
and may not be applicable to interactive marketing.” |
