'The post Why The Banner Ad Is Heroic, and Adtech Is Our Greatest Artifact appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. Every good story needs a hero. Back when I wrote The Search , that hero was Google – the book wasn’t about Google alone, but Google’s narrative worked to drive the entire story. As Sara and I work on If/Then , we’ve discovered one unlikely hero for ours: The lowly banner ad.

Idealism aside, this set of images from his most recent book "Meme Wars: The Creative Destruction of Neoclassical Econmics" paints a stark contrast to business as usual.

This is some professional perspective and analysis regarding a recent campaign to raise donation capital through crowdsourced funding tools available on KickStarter. At the end of the day, the campaign was not funded, and didn't reach its goals (From $100K to $1M). Not that it didn't have a chance, and wasn't backed by some very savvy and knowledgeable product designers/developers - the failure was all about Marketing 101.

Many healthcare offices and their staff don’t know the answer to this question; they have only a vague notion about the enforcement and the consequences of not adhering to the law.

His vision for the future ( Principal of Computational Equivalence ) is pretty wild. His ability to articulate his vision, and his body of work is undoubtably impressive.
