Yahoo Makes Ads on MLB.tv a Bit More Like TV

Startup Auditude Allows Live Insertion of Spots in Online Ad Pods

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Subscribers to Major League Baseball's online service MLB.tv are getting something different this season during games: as many as four times the ads.

Yahoo has a contract to sell ads on MLB.tv through the 2010 season; as of August, it started selling a lot more ads thanks to ad-serving technology from Auditude, which allows Yahoo to sell multiple ads within commercial breaks, just like TV.

That means a more-robust advertising revenue stream for the service, which costs $130a year for all regular season games (plus an additional $9.99 for iPhone access), and is distributed through Yahoo, MLB.com, web TV service Boxee and set-top maker Roku.

The Recession is Over - Pass it on!

VANCOUVER - One of the best indicators of how the economy is doing is consumer confidence. During a trip to a Future Shop location in Richmond BC, I was faced with what is clearly a shift in consumer confidence. The store was packed at 6:25pm and shoppers were actively engaged in buying everything from Lap Top computers to The Beatle new box sets on CD.

When I turned to a young sales clerk and asked what all this fuss was about he said 'the recession is over...people are back spending money again'.

And that's about all we need to say about that.

It's time for business to re-engage and start promoting, advertising and acting like things are getting better..because they are getting better.

The recession is over...pass it on.
