			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Online ads are making their way onto unexpected digital platforms such as game consoles and digital books, with the possibility of changing the way these products are sponsored and consumed.</p>
<p>One example is Microsoft, which is selling interactive ads on the home screen of its Xbox 360 gaming console for the first time.</p>
<p>The ads, which can either open up to full-screen video or link to a destination page, are structured around a daily rate rather than on a cost-per-click basis, according to Microsoft advertising managing director Liam Walsh. The experience and format is similar to Apple&#8217;s iAd in that consumers can stay inside the ad and experience a full-screen video message.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From MTV Movies Blogs:</p>
<p>&#8220;Late last week a trailer popped up online for a new fragrance from Gucci, Gucci Guilty. The 30-second clip features Chris Evans and Evan Rachel Wood, and was directed by &#8220;Sin City&#8221; helmer Frank Miller. Today there&#8217;s <em>another</em> 30-second clip online which Gucci&#8217;s official YouTube feed touts as the &#8220;official TV commercial for Gucci Guilty.&#8221; The ad is set to premiere on September 12 during the MTV Video Music Awards, though now I&#8217;m wondering if we&#8217;re in for something longer.The ad has a real &#8220;Sin City&#8221; feel to it; although it is in color, it&#8217;s the same sort of hyper-stylized colorization you saw in the comic book adaptation. Only it permeates the whole thing. It&#8217;s a pretty cool look, and very identifiably Miller&#8217;s work for those who are familiar with &#8220;Sin City&#8221; and &#8220;300.&#8221; See for yourself after the jump.&#8221;<span id="more-41064"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="articleText"> &#8220;The Williamsburg, Va.- based media researcher, Borrell Associates says one of the keys to this continuing strong growth are less-expensive video tools, which can be used by small advertisers. It says two of every five video ad dollars will come from local advertisers next year, according to one report.</p>
<p>Overall, online advertising will continue to outpace the U.S. ad market as a whole. Borrell says local online ad spending will gain 14% in 2011 to $51.9 billion from $45.6 billion this year. Targeted display advertising is expected to see a 60% increase to $10.9 billion overall.</p>
<p>U.S. advertising spending will inch up less than 5% in 2011 to $238.6 billion.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;According to new research released Monday by eMarketer, U.S. advertisers will spend an estimated $1.7 billion in ads on social networks in 2010, accounting for 6.7 percent of all online ad spending.</p>
<p>The dramatic rise — with growth of 20 percent this year, accelerating to 24 percent next year — shows why Google, the biggest player in online advertising, is finally taking the threat from social networks seriously, and Facebook is moving to protect its turf.&#8221;</p>
