Modern Marketing-Super Bowl & YouTube

After gazing through the required blog list, one article that caught my eye was Superbowl & YouTube Drive CGM, in the Modern Marketing tab. The article talks about how consumer generated media has become one of the biggest money makers for companies trying to get there name out. Today, consumers aren't just interested in the game aspect of the Superbowl, but the commercials as well. In a recent publication, YouTube pointed out that only half of Super Bowl viewers last year watched because of an interest in the game; the rest were more interested in the ads or spending time with family and friends. Over 90 million viewers tuned into the Superbowl this past year, making it one of the largest attracted audiences towards a specific event of all time. This year, YouTube compiled the commercials that aired during the Superbowl and made them available for the consumer to watch. YouTube will only continue to grow as marketers take advantage of this convenient medium. You may view this article at YouTube & Modern Marketing

First Wikipedia Edit

I have just made my first edit to a wikipedia article. The first article I chose to edit was one about the introduction of the new Giants stadium in 2010. I chose this article because I am an avid giants fan and a current season ticket holder. When I read the article about the new stadium, there was no information on some of the extra amenities the stadium will have to offer. The luxury suites will include more ample space between rows which will help people arrive to their seat much easier and watch the game more comfortably. The overall atmosphere will be enhanced with comfortable couches, armchairs and several flat panel televisions. In addition, there will be several food stations that will differ considerably in comparison to other stadiums around the league. The link to the article is
