Facebook Is Going To Ruin Your News Feed With Auto-Playing Video Ads

Facebook Is Going To Ruin Your News Feed With Auto-Playing Video Ads | Machinimania | Scoop.it

In Facebook's quest to generate more revenue, it's going to muck up your News Feed with auto-playing videos, the FT reports.

 

Facebook is set to launch video advertising in its newsfeed in July...


Via Martin Gysler
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Oh no. That woudn't be a good idea. It would be terrible. 

Martin Gysler's comment, May 8, 4:53 AM
As I can see, nobody is really happy here ... maybe Facebook should review his strategy.
Mr Branson's curator insight, May 8, 5:42 AM

It will be interesting to see if Facebook or facebookers can make video and chat work? I don't think so. The business model of Facebook has always been 'social' interaction and now asking facebookers to watch video instead of chat or gossip may turn the tide for Facebook. 

Sage Osterfeld's curator insight, May 8, 11:45 AM

Facebook taking a queue from porn sites. Great.

 

Is there anything more annoying that an autoplaying ad that you don't care about ruining whatever it is you're doing? Every time I run across one, it's usually below the scroll where I can see it so I'm like, "where the hell is that noise coming from?" (Then I scroll down and find the ad playing, right click on it and use my Ad Block plugin to keep that server from ever showing me an ad again.)

Google+ is notjust a social network,  it branches out into so many other Google’s properties that it’d be silly not to grab this chance.

Do authors ever prefer the movie to their own book? - Io9 | Machinimania | Scoop.it
It's common to say that the book is always better than the movie, but sometimes that isn't true. Occasionally, a movie will come along that transforms its source material into something greater than the original.

Metro
It might have been hailed as the next big thing in cinema – but it appears that moviegoers aren't quite so taken with 3D.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

‘People said 3D would change cinema. But if it stops paying its way at the box office, it is just a waste of money.

‘I’m sure people will keep on making 3D films. These things come and go. But you can’t make up for bad directing with good technology.’

As well as inflated ticket prices on 3D, compared to 2D, in cinemas, the popularity of certain traditional movies in 2012 has also been cited as a factor in falling ticket sales.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Pacific Rim - Con Footage [HD]

This was originally intended for only WonderCon, but after listening to so many of you asking for more of the movie online, I think it's time for me to show you more footage. Enjoy, my friends!
- Guillermo del Toro.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes "Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Pacific Rim." 
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
