		<description>The Blyk idea is an interesting one - especially as we live in a world of free ad-funded stuff these days, but as a 27-year-old I feel a bit put out that they don&#039;t want me in, with their 16-24 age limit. I know I could just fake my age and that but being cast as an outside initially doesn&#039;t help.</description>

		<description>An overview post? Sure sounds tempting but I don&#039;t think there&#039;s enough material to base on. Plus hasn&#039;t made any statements since the early June launch of 36,6. The only news story that was published after the launch was about the stickers. I tried digging around for more info, but couldn&#039;t find anyone who&#039;d know more about the brand.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However if you mean an overview of 36,6&#039;s offer or experiences with it, then it won&#039;t be a problem, Ewan. I can always dig out my trusty 6310i and get a 36,6 SIM for it.</description>

		<description>....not sure it matters how many have topped up their account. Not in terms of biz model anyway.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would be more interested to compare the ROI on Blyk versus every single other mobile advertising channel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Not to bias toward Blyk but to see whether this relevance and targeting thing has an effect.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I suspect it does - due to which it is interesting to think about whether effective mobile advertising will be found in permission based direct marketing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I suspect it will - so much so that I would wager the &#039;year of mobile advertising&#039; will come when this logic is followed by the components of the value chain - most of whom are currently staring a dozens of balls in the air wondering which one to catch.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Right Answer: the ones which centre around permission, preference and the safeguarding of privacy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wrong answer: the ones which centre around assumption, inference and the abuse of people&#039;s information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We have a slight issue in that the 2nd one is so much easier to understand and implement - but I hope that doesn&#039;t justify it as a productive model.</description>

<p>I would be more interested to compare the ROI on Blyk versus every single other mobile advertising channel.</p>
<p>Not to bias toward Blyk but to see whether this relevance and targeting thing has an effect.</p>
<p>I suspect it does &#8211; due to which it is interesting to think about whether effective mobile advertising will be found in permission based direct marketing.</p>
<p>I suspect it will &#8211; so much so that I would wager the &#39;year of mobile advertising&#39; will come when this logic is followed by the components of the value chain &#8211; most of whom are currently staring a dozens of balls in the air wondering which one to catch.</p>
<p>Right Answer: the ones which centre around permission, preference and the safeguarding of privacy.</p>
<p>Wrong answer: the ones which centre around assumption, inference and the abuse of people&#39;s information.</p>
<p>We have a slight issue in that the 2nd one is so much easier to understand and implement &#8211; but I hope that doesn&#39;t justify it as a productive model.</p>

		<description>Impressive figures I have to say. Plus launched a similar prepaid initiative here - 36.6. It isn&#039;t really a huge success, the loudest story about them was people getting mad over the way 36.6 was being advertised - trashcans, walls, bus stops and other objects were covered in colorful speech bubble stickers.</description>
