But since Mozilla plugins don't work in meatspace, I guess I'll just have to continue my habit of never, ever shopping at Wal-mart.]]>Oct 10th 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/Oct 10th 2007 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/
It's so much more than a TV with commercials playing from a DVD or VCR. ]]>Oct 10th 2007 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/
Personally I think it is a very cool idea. I mean they are going to dynamically display ads on items based on sales/stock level. Like it or not, that is an out-of-box approach that no one has tried yet (at least applying the data trends). I mean a manager could could look at an inventory report and decide to advertise that product, but instead a program is analyzing the data. Then it is automatically displaying ads for that product. ]]>Oct 10th 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/It's like those spam emails that forget to put how to get what they spam, they are so deep into the act of spamming itself that the purpose of the ad becomes irrelevant. (BTW, please never buy from spammers, thanks.)

Most advertising is annoying and intrusive. On broadcast television it's the price we pay in the current corporate structure to watch without paying a fee. When it begins to oversaturate to the point where they are advertising the products with clever ads *above* the products, it's going a bit far.

This is corporate thinktank stuff, without much thought behind it. Here's hoping that someone finds a clever way to "assist" with the in-store ad display process as it swiftly becomes wholly networked.]]>Oct 10th 2007 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/Most Canadian stores blow balls as in service and stock wise, just that we as Canadians are dumb as fuck and settle for this crappy service. Hurray for interweb purchases. So let them stick the tv's in stores, probably have to end up selling them cause they're out of stock of all other tv's.]]>Oct 10th 2007 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/wal-mart-canada-to-get-narrowcasting-digital-displays/
