On January 31rst 2007, on the six publish of the weblog which was extremely younger, I wrote the next phrases:
“C’est pas parce qu’on n’a rien a dire, qu’il faut fermer sa gueule…. It isn’t as a result of we do not have something to say that we must shut our mouths. I say this as a result of 99% of all blogs abide by this rule. Hopefully this one doesn’t. However let’s be sincere, most blogs are narcissistic workout routines of ego-massage, whose principal operate is merely to convey their proprietor’s non-happening life and less-than-interesting opinions. Once more, I do hope this one is totally different. The rationale that took me so lengthy to begin a weblog is 1) My inherent concern of expertise, 2) The concept that what I’ve to say may kill individuals out of boredom (Is that this thought-about second diploma homicide?) and three) Oh effectively, I at all times thought e mail was extra private (Even when despatched to a listing of individuals).”
Recently I’ve observed I’m publishing with a bit much less frequency than earlier than. The rationale – and proper me if I’m mistaken – I’ve not seen any adverts price mentioning. Not that it’s an oddity, however currently it does appear that – actually – I couldn’t see something exploding in my eyes that stated “sure, that is it” or “who on earth accepted this?”…. Perhaps I’m being biased, perhaps there are certainly adverts price seeing however they’re hiding so effectively that I’m not capable of see them.
However actually, I really feel that by some means, we’re on the bottom frequent denominator. I stated it prior and I’ll say it once more – in 2005 you wanted about 600 billboards on your marketing campaign to face out, nowadays three adverts on the freeway does it for you.
I do suppose it’s one thing particular to Lebanon, as different nations appear to be profitable awards (even when stated campaigns have been engineered in Lebanon by badly paid creatives) left and proper. Which implies that the GCC markets are thriving.
I do know, I do know, I appear to be contradicting myself as from time to time I say this marketing campaign is sweet or this one breathtaking. However on the entire, one thing is severely off with the market. And typically I’m simply ashamed to “c’est pas parce qu’on n’a rien a dire, qu’il faut ouvrir sa gueule”.
