Can Facebook ever make (real) money?
[Thomas Oosthuizen] Growth is hardly the challenge Facebook faces. The challenge for the monetarisation of Facebook is not how many people it reaches - it is a huge medium by any standards - but how it extracts revenue from its core business: connecting people in an objective, friendly, social, non-threatening and non-commercial environment. 7 Feb 2012 10:40


Entries open for Responsible Drinking Media Awards
Brandhouse has launched its 2012 Responsible Drinking Media Awards, which recognises journalistic efforts in supporting, promoting and contributing to the responsible drinking agenda and ultimately help change consumer behaviour. 7 Feb 2012 07:54
Tricks of the trade: improving your on-air content
[Caren Olsen] The South African Advertising Research Foundation (SAARF) invited a number of top players in the radio industry to speak at a recent Community Radio Forum, giving community radio delegates advice on everything from programming to marketing. This is my advice for presenters on how to deliver a show with the kind of on-air content that attracts and retains listeners. 6 Feb 2012 12:42
Private Property Holdings
The good news about the property industry's 'baddies'
[Lea Jacobs] In a recent survey by Columinate conducted on behalf of Private Property, only 5 percent of people indicated that they trusted estate agents. By implication this indicates that 95 percent of people do not trust estate agents. 6 Feb 2012 09:18


Afrikaans advertising slipping towards mediocrity?
[Andrea le Sueur] Gill Moodie's article "Banning English ads in Media24 digital, print speaks to Afrikaans ID", published on Bizcommunity on the eve of the Pendoring Awards last year, struck a chord with the project managers at Folio Translation Consultants, who invited me to open a window on their perspective, outlining some of the challenges that professional language practitioners experience in this regard. 3 Feb 2012 12:57
MediaMind

Ogilvy's 'Ask Rudi' ad for Audi was selected as the choice creative for Q4 2011. 3 Feb 2012 12:18
Imagining Web 3.0 discusses influence of Web 3.0 on media, society
Lee-Roy Chetty has published a new book, Imagining Web 3.0, which discusses the next phase of the internet and how the evolution to a third generation will influence media and society. 3 Feb 2012 11:37
Press freedom as the ANC sees it
[Stephen Grootes: @StephenGrootes] On Tuesday, 31 January 2012, in front of the Press Freedom Commission's members, the ANC had its say. Parts of its submission make you think the ANC is paranoid, and parts make you think it has a serious point. 1 Feb 2012 11:16
Tomas Roope on brands and social platforms
[Herman Manson: @marklives] Tomas Roope has been doing multimedia since 1991. That was before most of the rest of us even realised it existed. So listen closely. Once it might have described CD-ROMs (he did that, too) but today multimedia features in numerous consumer touchpoints, both online and off, and Roope has had a front-row view as a technical and creative director at The Rumpus Room.

[2012 trends] In case the world doesn't end...
[Louise Marsland: @Louise_Marsland] While the theme song for the Year 2012 will undoubtedly be ''It's the end of the world as we know it..." by R.E.M., and we'll be bored with all the End-of-the-World theme parties and raves and launches by March already... in case the world doesn't end, these are some essential trends and things you need to know for the year to come [with additional editing and contributions from moi - managing ed]. 31 Jan 2012 14:13
[2012 trends] Will someone (Eskom, maybe) please pull the plug?
[Sue Disler] That was my first reaction when Bizcommunity's editor Simone Puterman requested an article predicting 12 trends for 2012. A "trend" is defined as "a general tendency, movement, or direction". In my honest opinion, what most people will be purporting as trend is merely (if you analyse it properly), new and improved technology and ideas. 31 Jan 2012 12:06
[2012 trends] Bob, where's my flying car?
[Matt Ross] I'm risking joining the ranks of ludicrousness by jumping in the mire of guesstimation. I'm not focusing on any specific area of our industry; after all, any development affects us all. I have tried to be broad, though. Oh, and I've avoided trends. The following will be stalwarts for years to come - the temporary is never attractive, anyway. Unless you married Liz Taylor. 31 Jan 2012 11:36
