Agree w/you re: Dave, Daniel. Re: Targeting – I get confused when I talk to ad industry people, because half of them tell me they want to be able to pinpoint buyers with very specific needs and attributes, and the others tell me they have zero interest in that, and only want very big, generalized audiences. I’m guessing Canon falls in that category.

Targeted ads have a long way to go. Nerds register products they own at sites like gdgt.com – such sites could provide the information to ad networks so they don’t advertise stuff people already have. Run with that somebody and get rich.

Netflix wastes a lot of money delivering me ads in the snail mail with my movies, asking me to sign up.
