Google Testing New Celebrity Endorsement Advertising Program | VapvaruN

Google users may soon see celebrity endorsements included as annotations under paid search results as part of new advertising program that the company has just started testing. Google’s Christian Oestlien revealed the test this afternoon as part of a session on Google+ and the Google +1 button at our SMX East Conference in New York City.

As you’d expect, Oestlien was very tight-lipped about the program, but he did tell the audience that there only a “handful” of advertisers in the program right now.

I’m apparently one of the users who can see the celebrity endorsements as they apply to paid ads. The screenshot above is from a Google search for kardashian collection sears, which includes an annotation that Khloe Kardashian has endorsed an ad about the Kardashian clothing line at Sears.

During his presentation, Oestlien explained that, in this example, ... Read More »

An Introduction To LESS, And Comparison To Sass | VapvaruN

regan — Fri, 18 May 2012 08:43:59 +0000

I’ve been using LESS religiously ever since I stumbled upon it months ago. CSS was never really a problem for me, in and of itself, but I was intrigued by the idea of using variables to create something along the lines of a color palette for my websites and themes. Having a color palette with a fixed number of options to choose from helps prevent me from going color crazy and deviating from a chosen style.

As it turns out, LESS — and Sass for that matter — are so much more than that. LESS and Sass share a lot of similarities in syntax, including the following:

Mixins – Classes for classes. Parametric mixins – Classes to which you can pass parameters, like functions. Nested Rules – Classes within classes, which cut down on repetitive code. Operations – Math within CSS. Color functions ... Read More »

What Popular Movies Can Teach Us About Design | wbcom

vapvarun — Fri, 18 May 2012 08:06:21 +0000

It’s a pretty safe bet to say that the vast majority of people like movies. They’re usually entertaining and sometimes even informative or thought-provoking. But most designers probably don’t pay too much attention to how they might be able to offer inspiration for website or other designs.

But most movies, especially those with large budgets, have extensive art direction and production design happening to make sure the entire look of the movie is exactly the way the screenwriter and director have envisioned it. Whether it’s a fantasy film, a family movie, a historical drama, or anything in between, there’s a good chance that a team of dozens of people worked hard to make sure the visual design of the film was absolutely perfect.

Below are a number of popular films from the past few years. Many of these have won awards for ... Read More »

AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo Join in Ad Partnership | VapvauN

regan — Fri, 18 May 2012 05:47:02 +0000

In a move clearly intended to fight off Google, AOL, Microsoft, and Yahoo banded together to start selling ad inventory on each other’s sites. Whether these rivals can work together – and whether it will make a difference in the end – remains to be seen.

As Peter Kafka explained, writing for All Things Digital, the three companies “have agreed to sell each other’s ‘Class 2 display’ inventory – graphic ads the companies can’t sell on their own and would normally hand over to ad networks.” The firms gave a dinner presentation in Manhattan this week covering the plan. Attendees included prominent web publishers and ad buyers.

The point of the presentation went beyond news of the new partnership. The three companies hope to talk some of the larger web firms into sharing ... Read More »
