The Movie Business Challenge

Jul 27th 2006 12:23PM (Blog Maverick)
Reward the "Movie Evangelists" Reach out to the "movie evangelists" - the people who really love movies and convince their friends to see films. These are the people who consistently hit first showings, so hand out credits at first showings that these people can register online. Credits earn access to restricted early screenings, magazines and mailing lists with studio press releases, early access to promotional shirts and toys, and studio tours for the top members. Making these people feel like insiders and rewarding their compulsive behavior will help create more emotional attachment to new releases and urge them to share that positive attachment with friends. As an extension of this program, it would also be possible to offer a place for "movie blogs" where evangelists can post about early impressions and moviegoing experiences. Studio-approved postings could yield a referral link, and additional credits would be earned by having enough people follow the link. More credits still could be offered for adding code to members' home pages that displays a ticker scrolling links to blog posts about current releases. This could be implemented by a studio, or by a third party contracting with studios. If done by a third party, the movie blogs also offer a vehicle for ads and direct ticket sales.

One good reason not to use Windows Remote Desktop is that it prevents Direct3D apps from working. Many non-game apps (even some charting, graphing and presentation applications) make casual use of Direct3D.

Just to be clear - this guy is saying that Microsoft aren't good enough to secure Windows against spyware authors, but spyware authors are good enough to secure Windows against Microsoft?

So, in summary: Google doesn't operate predictably with statistically insignificant site linkage.
