Holy Tipping Point!
Nearly 50 million Americans have posted content online
According to a report released this week by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, a Washington, D.C.-based research organization, 48 million Americans have posted content online. In addition, by March 2006, 42 percent of all Americans had broadband Internet access at home, up 12 percent from March of the previous year. The report’s author, John Horrigan, suggests that user-generated content is now at the leading edge of Internet usage. How does it feel to be in the vanguard?
In another recent study, the Pew Internet & American Life Project showed that 73 percent of American adults (over the age of 18) were online as of March 31, 2006.
Can you spell “opportunity?”

No doubt internet is one of the biggest mediums for advertising. Everyday I’m bombarded with 100 different advertises and at the end of the day I can recall only 1 or 2. So the big question is, why are advertisers spending millions of bucks on something that people won’t even remember?
Internet opens a wide market to sellers. The biggest problem is in ‘hitting’ the right people! Say what?

Why doesn’t YPN have a direct place you can report abusers of the YPN program? Will someone please email me someplace I can report sites which are artificially inflating YPN ads by placing images to the left of the text links? Thanks.
