<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has started delivering customized search results for local searches.</p>
[caption id="attachment_1120" align="alignnone" width="418" caption="Customized Search Results"]<a href="http://cohn.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/customized-search-results.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-1120" title="customized-search-results" src="http://cohn.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/customized-search-results.png" alt="Customized Search Results" width="418" height="73" /></a>[/caption]
<p>How does Google decide which queries are getting which area's results?</p>
<p>If I were to venture a guess, I would say they will begin distributing search results within a scheme similar to Nielsen's Designated Market Areas (DMA).</p>
<p>The timing for this new type of search result appears to coincide with the present United States economic cycle.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Being a Creative Brand Management advocate, I consider myself to be a very keen Interactive Marketin]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a <a href="http://www.brandcenter.vcu.edu/" target="_blank">Creative Brand Management</a> advocate, I consider myself to be a very keen Interactive Marketing enthusiast. Like everyone out there, I am worried about the current economic crisis our world has bumped into. Back home, people who do not understand that 'A' of Advertising tell me that "you are doomed, recession is here and advertising is going to be the worst hit sector." Even though I want to believe that, my optimistic nature replies back with a smile. Not that I am not current of huge budget cuts and stuff that corporate sector has to undertake in order to sustain in this crisis. But I am sure this is a temporary scenario &#38; we will bounce back... with a bang!</p>
<p>As a graduate student about to enter the world of Advertising, I am bound to be affected to see news like this...</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_display/news/client/e3ifefcf0cc1c7138b785e9264deef5d894"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-280" title="nielsen report" src="http://mydigitalwhiteboard.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-51.png" alt="" width="349" height="265" /></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>but things like this rejuvenates my optimism...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://mydigitalwhiteboard.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/picture-6.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-281" title="online forecast" src="http://mydigitalwhiteboard.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-6.png" alt="" width="353" height="68" /></a><a href="http://mydigitalwhiteboard.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/picture-7.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-282" title="thanks guys! really appreciate your views" src="http://mydigitalwhiteboard.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-7.png" alt="" width="400" height="214" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">I was concerned, but definitely optimistic about our industry. However,my main reason to write this post...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I am happy to stumble upon the survey below and just wanted to share my happiness through this little piece of information.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>"marketers will increase or at least maintain their spends on interactive marketing"</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://mydigitalwhiteboard.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/picture-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-283" title="recession-proof interactive marketing" src="http://mydigitalwhiteboard.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/picture-3.jpg" alt="" width="479" height="415" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I understand, this survey was conducted by New York Times in May, 2008 &#38; since then our situation has only accelerated downwards. But with recession in sight, I am sure Interactive is the best medium (for optimal utilization of resources) to connect &#38; engage with the consumer.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>“Tell me and I will forget, Show me and I will remember, </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Involve me and I will understand!”</em></p>

<description><![CDATA[I attended the Wireless Tech Forum Meeting today at The Ashford Club, Atlanta. Today&#8217;s topic ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I attended the <a title="Wireless Tech Forum" href="http://www.wirelesstechnologyforum.org/home/site.asp?contentscreen_id=18,1,19&#38;show_titles=1">Wireless Tech Forum</a> Meeting today at The Ashford Club, Atlanta. Today's topic was Wireless Applications and Mobile Media. This is a new Special Interest Group within the Wireless Tech Forum and organizers have done a great job as usual of creating format and content for this SIG. Steve Bachman heads up the WAMM SIG along with co-chairs Richard Yates and Ed Pimentel.</p>
<p>Today we had an excellent first session on mobile media with a great presentation by Jerry Rocha, the Sr Director of Mobile Research at <a title="Nielsen Mobile" href="http://www.nielsenmobile.com/">Nielsen Mobile</a> (formerly Telephia). Jerry presented some great information on patterns, trends, usage stats on mobile media and mobile apps. Here are some highlights from the session :</p>
<p>Among major apps on the mobile data gravy train are SMS, mobile apps and mobile internet. We have to see which one comes out ahead in terms of user adoption but all are growing with heady growth rates compared to where they were before (of course we are only talking US market in this entire discussion, I know mobile data in Europe and Asia is a totally different ballgame and growth pattern).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Number Crunching :</span></strong></span></p>
<p>If we include all mobile data, it is growing at rate of 28%. In Europe, SMS was big but with falling rates of SMS, carriers are pushing MMS which commands higher revenues. There were 260 million mobile customers in USA at end of Q2, 2008. Of which 56 million were downloading mobile apps. 15 million customers have seem video on mobile - small percent of mobile population but growing. Of the 260 million mobile customers in USA, 102 million have access to the mobile internet. 77% of mobile subscribers can get SMS today. Mobile internet is now a 1.2 billion dollar industry. 43 million customers in USA use mobile internet regularly now.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Trends :</span></span></strong></p>
<p>Nielsen Mobile has access to 80,000 customers bills for market survey and this is the primary source of market research for Nielsen Mobile.</p>
<p>Among data apps, audio is a big killer app. Games was popular but there is decline in mobile gaming. Many fringe mobile gaming firms are going out of business with big ones like Glu Mobile and Electronic Arts taking majority of market share in mobile gaming. Ringtones are powerful but see slower traction now.</p>
<p>Mobile apps have see a huge uptick this year - one reason is the iPhone and the awareness it created about mobile apps in general.</p>
<p>From a strategy perspective, media firms like CNN, ESPN and others have pushed mobile media in spite of lack of enough support from carriers. Media firms are pushing off-deck content.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Mobile Internet :</span></span></strong></p>
<p>Mobile portals are most heavily visited area. Email is second most popular with 27.4 million users (Nielsen is not including POP3 email accounts). Among sites visited most, the order is : Yahoo (22.3 million users), Google (18.9 million), MSN (14.4 million), AOL (12.6 million), Weather Channel, CNN, FOX, Apple, Turner in that order.</p>
<p>iPhone has been a game changing device for mobile internet with each firm now forced to follow a three pronged internet strategy : Regular website, Mobile website and iPhone-optimized website. Many firms have device detection and render appropriate website based on source of access.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">Mobile Apps :</span></strong></span></p>
<p>These have seen a giant increase since Q1 of this year. Most popular apps are related to LBS (Location-Based Services) - an area for which we in CellStrat have written extensively and have a nice white paper on our company website (<a href="http://www.cellstrat.com">www.cellstrat.com</a>). Top 10 mobile apps are (in declining order of popularity) :- Verizon Navigator,  Sprint Navigator, AT&#38;T Navigator, Wireless Synch Email, TeleNav GPS Navigator, Sprint Family Locator, MySpace Mobile, Mobile Email, MapQuest Mobile and XM Radio Mobile.</p>
<p>Lot of firms like Nokia are buying up firms which have LBS offerings or technology.</p>
<p>Some of the big publishers of mobile apps are : TeleNav Mobile, Networks in Motion, Intellisync, WaveMarket, MySpace Mobile, AutoDesk etc.</p>
<p>It seems Location tracking is an app whic commands $5 per month revenue relatively easily. Same cannot be said for some of the other mobile apps though.</p>
<p>The top mobile app areas in order of popularity are (most popular first) :- LBS (69% of mobile apps are related to this), PIM Tools, Weather, Music, Maps or Directions etc.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">iPhone :</span></strong></span></p>
<p>This has shaken the mobile world as we report countless times now. Apple iPhone now as 1% of USA market share and 3.7% of AT&#38;T mobile phones are iPhones. By Q3, Apple had sold 10 million iPhones worldwide easily hitting its goal of 10 million iPhones in first year.</p>
<p>iPhone AppStore is a breakthrough concept and has opened up the mobile application ecosystem to developers like never before. In the 4 months since its launch, iPhone AppStore has seen 100 million downloads of mobile apps, total number of mobile apps on iPhone available now exceeds 3000 apps.</p>
<p>iPhone dominates every category of mobile web usage.</p>
<p>Some cool iPhone killers like BlackBerry Bold, Storm and Google G1 are out or coming out soon and we will have to see how well they do against iPhone. One reason for huge app success on iPhone is its excellent developer support and ecosystem eg the iTunes store. Nokia scores well too on this front with its Symbian platform.</p>
<p>iPhone users skew towards male with 67% iPhone users being males and 33% females although in overall mobile world, 52% of mobile customers are females.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Mobile Advertising :</span></span></strong></p>
<p>This one pays for it all.</p>
<p>Interestingly Atlanta is No 3 in mobile video usage (interesting..never thought Atlanta was that big on mobile web adoption). Among mobile email, gmail and yahoo email dominate.</p>
<p>Nielsen has tools to scrap 300 websites every 15 minutes and categorizes them for ad purposes. It turns out Eletronic Arts and Dunkin Donuts are bigger advertisers in mobile internet. On ESPN Mobile, Electronic Arts is the biggest advertiser.</p>

<description><![CDATA[My sister has recently entered into her quarter-life crisis about half a year shy of her 25th birthd]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My sister has recently entered into her quarter-life crisis about half a year shy of her 25th birthday. I found myself in the midst of a similar crisis when I was 20, and I'm still enjoying life in crisis mode. I only chose a major in college because on my third change, my dad patiently informed me that I could spend as many years as I wanted changing majors, but he was only paying for four of them. Since my major at the time of that chat was Journalism, I became a journalist. As I sat through a litany of editing and news writing classes, I couldn't help but think that I must be destined for something besides writing headlines and proofreading marks.</p>
<p>My sister is starting to feel the same way. She works as an accountant by day, but dreams about opening up a bakery, decorating cakes, becoming a real estate agent or an event planner. I have a persistent dream of becoming a hair stylist, along with a columnist, a writer, a psychologist and at especially lazy moments, a Nielsen family--a career in which I imagine I would rate TV shows all day. This morning my sister called me to let me know she'd found an online life assessment quiz. After all the questions were answered, the quiz would tell you what you were supposed to do with your life, for only $5! Five dollars seemed like quite a bargain for the answer to all my life's questions. And in one small quiz? To think I've been losing sleep over this conundrum and the answers have been online all along.</p>
<p>After about 15 minutes, my score came back in the form of a list of professions the answers I provided indicated I might enjoy. Seated demurely at the top of my list of life opportunities was one I never dreamed about, for some reason: Priest/Rabbi. (I think they included the forward slash to make sure I knew I wouldn't need to change religions to answer the call of my life's destiny. Apparently I can fulfill my calling as a Christian or a Jewish person. These quiz people are very considerate.)</p>
<p>Either I wasted five bucks, or I have a lot of changes to make.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-286" title="arnia-colorata-500x500" src="http://ipfaber.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/arnia-colorata-500x500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" />Fra <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principale"><strong>Wikipedia</strong></a> e l'agenzia statistica<a href="http://www.acnielsen.it/site/index.shtml"> <strong>Nielsen</strong></a> avrebbe potuto sorgere una vera e propria causa nel corso delle passate settimane. <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principale"><strong>Wikipedia</strong></a> ha invece preferito obbedire all'ordine di <a href="http://www.acnielsen.it/site/index.shtml"><strong>Nielsen</strong></a>, eliminando più di trecento pagine della propria sezione inglese, senza rischiare di dilungarsi in una complicata vertenza.</p>
<p>Nonostante ciò, il caso lascia spazio ad alcune riflessioni.</p>
<p>Facciamo un passo indietro: l'agenzia inglese <a href="http://www.nielsenmedia.com/nc/portal/site/Public/"><strong>Nielsen Research Media</strong></a> il mese scorso invia un cosidetto "<strong>DMCA order</strong>", cioè un ordine emesso sulla base del <strong>Digital Milleniun Copyright Act</strong> <span>(legge sul copyright digitale) </span>alla <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_principale"><strong>Wikipedia</strong></a> inglese, affermando che quest'ultima avrebbe violato i diritti di <strong>copyright </strong>dell'agenzia <a href="http://www.acnielsen.it/site/index.shtml"><strong>Nielsen</strong></a> su un elenco di stazioni televisive staunitensi creato da Nielsen e basato su un determinato criterio di ripartizione geografica.</p>
<p>La prima riflessione riguarda l'uso dei "<strong>DMCA order</strong>", strumento di <strong>enforcement</strong> che viene sempre più utilizzato su un piano sovranazionale e nella prassi rispettato come tale dalle aziende che operano professionalmente su<strong> Internet</strong>. Non è un caso che la stessa<strong> <a href="http://www.google.it">Google</a></strong> traduca anche nel nostro paese l'invito ad inviare la "<a href="http://www.google.com/dmca.html#notification">notifica di presunta violazione di copyrigh</a>t" secondo<span> la forma suggerita dal<strong> Digital Millenium Copyright Act</strong> e ne richiami il testo attraverso il link diretto al sito web dell'<a href="http://www.copyright.gov">Ufficio copyright degli Stati Uniti</a>.</span></p>
<p>La seconda riflessione riguarda la particolare tutela di <strong>copyright</strong> che immaginiamo possa sottendersi a questo caso (l'order di <a href="http://www.acnielsen.it/site/index.shtml"><strong>Nielsen</strong></a> non è stato reso pubblico e possiamo limitarci a delle supposizioni): è probabile che <a href="http://www.acnielsen.it/site/index.shtml"><strong>Nielsen</strong></a> si sia richiamata ad una tutela di <strong>diritto d'autore</strong> sulla propria <strong>banca dati</strong>.</p>
<p>E' questo uno dei casi (rari) in cui è probabile si sia rivendicata un'<strong>esclusiva</strong> su un <strong>data base</strong>: tale tutela è prevista qualora un elenco, un catalogo sia caratterizzato da un criterio originale di selezione, organizzazione e classificazione dei dati in esso contenuto.</p>
<p>Sia la legge inglese (secondo le <strong>Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations del 1997</strong>, entrata in vigore il 1° gennaio 1998), sia le leggi dei vari paesi EU (che hanno recepito la <a href="http://http://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexapi!prod!CELEXnumdoc&#38;numdoc=31996L0009&#38;model=guichett&#38;lg=it"><strong>Direttiva 96/9</strong></a>) riconoscono tale genere di protezione.</p>
<p>Occorre tuttavia ricordare che la <strong>protezione di una banca dati</strong> dà tutela esclusiva al "contenente" <strong>data base</strong> e non al contenuto: ciò che non può essere copiato da terzi è quindi il sistema di organizzazione dei dati, se e quando tale sistema sia originale, e non i dati in sè stessi.</p>
<p>Questo caso insegna che un elenco può quindi - talora - non essere semplicemente un elenco.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I had the good fortune to interact with Bill Cox, Account Manager with Nielsen Mobile responsible for the AT&#38;T Mobility account. Nielsen Mobile is a market research firm which supplies data and syndicated consumer research on mobile trends, user adoption and statistical data.</p>
<p>Effectiveness of advertising is a key attribute which advertisers and marketers are interested in so firms like Nielsen Mobile are in a sweet spot.</p>
<p>Some key ideas he offered :</p>
<p>a) Sales : Sale of Nielsen services to carriers is automatic when firms like Nielsen partner with clients like AT&#38;T in solution development and problem solving. Firms like Nielsen have compelling market intelligence data which they gather with user focus groups - this data is precious to mobile media firms, service providers and operators and sells on its own without a concerted sales efforts.</p>
<p>b) Data Generation : Nielsen actually has 30,000 customers across the US mobile landscape participating voluntarily in its surveys to provide access to their monthly bills. Nielsen pays a small amount to participating customers for this kind of information. These customers of mobile services span all carriers, demographic segments and geographies in all of USA. Data generated from these customers provides valuable insights into the customer buying patterns, usage patterns and success of data and content services.</p>
<p>c) Target customers : Mobile Media firms like ad agencies, service providers like AT&#38;T and brand marketers are prime customers for firms like Nielsen.</p>
<p>d) Competition : Nielsen Mobile ends up competing with mMetrics, Yankee Groups, Gartner Research, J D Power and Assoc, AdMob etc which either have a strong research arms and or have tools to measure customer usage on mobile phones. AdMob is in the latter category and has a Mobile Analytics software to measure effectiveness of mobile advertising. Nielsen Mobile has the advantage of being an independent market research firm in mobile space.</p>
<p>e) Measurement techniques : For the most part, Nielsen has tools which parse sample customers' bills to extract intelligent pattern information. They also have tools to intercept customer web usage on mobile phones, sites visited and frequency of usage. They can measure ad Click-Thrus or eCPM (ad impression count). Nielsen has trucks operating around the country to test network quality and signal reception for various carriers.</p>
<p>Nielsen Mobile, formerly Telephia, is part of Nielsen research - the global online measurement giant.</p>
<p>Bill - Thanks for the opportunity and insights into mobile measurements. Had a great time and will talk again soon.</p>

<description><![CDATA[We just completed our first survey by Nielsen Online of our publisher alliance. The results are GREA]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We just completed our first survey by Nielsen Online of our publisher alliance. The results are GREAT!</p>
<p>The survey, conducted in September, shows that the Business &#38; Investing vertical of Halogen Publishers has more than twice as many users with household incomes topping $150,000 than found on WSJ.com. Halogen Publishers is now tied with Wine Spectator for the highest percentage of affluent readers on the Web, according to Nielsen Online. Over a quarter of users in the Halogen Publishers network have investment portfolios exceeding $500,000 in assets and more than 30 percent vacationed in Europe in the past two years, according to the survey.</p>
<p>This is an important step in demonstrating to advertisers that there are now some viable digital media alternatives to the "usual suspects" - wsj.com, nytimes.com and forbes.com.</p>

Prima posizione per Star Wars: il Potere della Forza per PS3 (la versione Xbox 360 è invece quarta), seguito da Wii Fit e Warhammer Online, il quale successo dà al PC la possibilità di rientrare finalmente in classifica con un titolo di questa piattaforma.</p>
<p>Ancora successo per Kung Fu Panda che in versione PS2 e Nintendo DS si piazza rispettivamente al quinto e all’ottavo posto. La classifica hardware vede sempre nelle prime 2 posizioni DS e Wii, seguite da PSP mentre PS3 è ancora avanti a Xbox 360.</p>
<p>Di seguito le due classifiche nel dettaglio:</p>
<p><strong>TOP 10 All Formats:</strong><br />
1. Star Wars il Potere della Forza (PS3)<br />
2. Wii-Fit + Wii Balance Board (Wii)<br />
3. Warhammer Online (PC)<br />
4. Star Wars il Potere della Forza (Xbox 360)<br />

6. La Guida in Cucina (DS)<br />
7. Mario Kart + Wii Wheel (Wii)<br />
8. Kung Fu Panda (DS)<br />
9. Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 (PS2)<br />
10. Guitar Hero On Tour (DS)</p>
<p><strong>Classifica Hardware:</strong><br />
1. DS<br />
2. Wii<br />
3. PSP<br />
4. PlayStation 3<br />
5. Xbox 360<br />
6. PlayStation 2</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cartoonmagseries.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/auditel.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-134" title="auditel" src="http://cartoonmagseries.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/auditel.jpg" alt="" width="171" height="73" /></a></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">Prima settimana autunnale e anche prima settimana ufficiale della stagione televisiva 2008/2009 statunitense. E per il quarto anno consecutivo, la premiere week è stata vinta dal network<strong> ABC</strong> grazie ai brillanti  ascolti, anche se non da record, di "Grey's Anatomy" e "Desperate  Housewives".</p>
<p align="justify">Lunedì su NBC è andata in onda la doppia premiere della terza  stagione di "<strong>Heroes</strong>", purtroppo con ascolti in calo del 25% rispetto alla scorsa stagione; il debutto del capitolo Villains è stato seguito in media soltanto da 9.9 milioni di spettatori (4.9 rating / 12 share nella fascia adulti 18-49). Decisamente meglio i debutti su CBS della settima stagione di "<strong>CSI: Miami</strong>" e  della sesta di "<strong>Two and a Half Men</strong>". Bene anche "<strong>How I Met Your Mother</strong>" (9.7  milioni, 4.0/10) e "T<strong>he Big Bang Theory</strong>" (9.4 milioni, 3.6/10) mentre deludente  il ritorno di "<strong>Boston Legal</strong>" (9.4 milioni, 2.5/6) e non eccezionale debutto di  "<strong>Worst Week</strong>" (11 milioni, 3.8/9). Nuovo record negativo purtroppo per  "<strong>Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles</strong>" (5.8 milioni, 2.2/6) che fa  precipitare ancora "<strong>Prison Break</strong>" (5.9 milioni, 2.5/6). Su The CW, leggero calo  d'ascolti per <strong>"Gossip Girl</strong>" (3.4 milioni, 1.6/4) e "<strong>One Tree Hill</strong>" (3.1 milioni,  1.5/3).</p>
<p align="justify">Martedì ottimo debutto su CBS per il nuovo drama procedurale  “<strong>The Mentalist</strong>” come anche quello della sesta premiere di “<strong>NCIS</strong>”; alle 22.00  purtroppo debutto negativo per la settima stagione di “<strong>Without a Trace</strong>” (11.4 milioni, 2.8/7), in calo del 40% rispetto all'anno scorso, quando andava in onda subito dopo “CSI” il giovedì. Ascolti in calo su Fox per “<strong>House</strong>” e “<strong>Fringe</strong>” (7.7  milioni, 4.2/10). Non brilla nemmeno il ritorno su NBC di “<strong>Law &#38; Order: SVU</strong>”  (9.5 milioni, 3.7/10), in calo del 23% rispetto l'anno scorso. Ascolti in calo  anche su The CW per “<strong>90210</strong>” (3 milioni, 1.5/4) e <strong>“Privileged</strong>” (1.9 milioni,  0.9/2).</p>
<p align="justify">Mercoledì disastroso esordio su NBC per il remake di  "Supercar", in inglese "<strong>Knight Rider</strong>", seguito da soli 7.4 milioni di spettatori  (2.5/7). Non eccelle nemmeno la season premiere di "<strong>Lipstick Jungle"</strong> (6.3  milioni, 2.4/6). Discreti "<strong>New Adventures of Old Christine</strong>" (6.5 milioni, 2.1/6) e  la nuova commedia "<strong>Gary Unmarried</strong>" (6.8 milioni, 2.4/7). E' però CBS ad avere la  meglio con i grandi ritorni di "<strong>Criminal Mind</strong>s" e "<strong>CSI: NY</strong>". Su Fox bene "<strong>Bones</strong>"  (9.7 milioni, 3.1/9) mentre nuovo disastro per la commedie <strong>"Til Death"</strong> (4.6  milioni, 1.4/4) e "<strong>Do Not Disturb</strong>" (3.5 milioni, 1.3/3), che infatti viene subito  cancellata.</p>
<p align="justify">Giovedì gran ritorno su ABC di "<strong>Grey's Anatomy</strong>"; la doppia quinta premiere risulta lo show più seguito della settimana anche se in calo del 17% rispetto a quella dell'anno passato. La serie è stata preceduta, alle 20.00, dal debutto della terza stagione di "<strong>Ugly Betty</strong>" seguita da 9.8 milioni di  spettatori (3.3/9) anch'essa in calo rispetto al 2007. Su NBC discreto ritorno  per "<strong>My Name Is Earl</strong>" (6.4 milioni, 2.7/8, in calo del 29%) , "<strong>The Office"</strong> (9.3  milioni, 4.9/12, in calo del 4%) e "<strong>ER</strong>" (8 milioni, 3.3/8, in calo del 20%). Su  CW leggero calo anche per "<strong>Smallville</strong>" (4.2 milioni, 1.7/5), e "<strong>Supernatural"</strong> (3.2  milioni, 1.3/3).</p>
<p align="justify">Domenica ABC conquista la serata grazie alle season premiere  di "<strong>Desperate Housewives</strong>" e "<strong>Brothers &#38; Sisters</strong>"; bene però anche CBS con  "<strong>Cold Case</strong>" e "<strong>The Unit</strong>" (9.7 milioni, 2.6/6). Per tutte però calo d'ascolti;  fisiologico o campanello d'allarme?</p>
<div><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Sulla tv via cavo</span>, lunedì grande calo d'ascolti su TNT per "<strong>Raising the Bar</strong>", il nuovo legal drama di Steven Bochco che con soli 2.26 milioni perde quasi il 70% di spettatori!</div>
<p align="justify">Domenica su Showtime ha invece debuttato con un nuovo record  d'ascolti la terza stagione di "<strong>Dexter</strong>" seguita da 1.22 milioni di  spettatori. A seguire buon debutto anche per "<strong>Californication</strong>", seguito da  522,000 spettatori, pari a quelli della scorsa stagione.</p>
<p align="justify">Su HBO il nuovo drama "<strong>True Blood</strong>" viene guardato da 1.82  mlioni di spettatori mentre le commedie "<strong>Entourage</strong>" da 1.6 milioni e "<strong>Little  Britain</strong>" da 540,000. Su AMC "<strong>Mad Men</strong>" perde spettatori e viene seguito da 1.6  milioni di spettatori.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Gli ascolti in media per network (demo 18-49):</strong> ABC (12.2 milioni, 3.8 rating/ 10 share), NBC (8.3 milioni, 3.3/9), CBS ( 11.3 milioni, 3.1/8), Fox (7.5 milioni, 3.0/8), The CW (2.9 milioni, 1.3/3) .</p>

<p style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;color:#666666;line-height:18px;margin:0;padding:5px 0;">LONDON (AdAge.com) -- WPP Group looks like it is closing in on a deal with U.K.-based research group Taylor Nelson Sofres and is hoping that its $2 billion hostile takeover bid can be sealed by the end of this week. The conditional-offer document stipulates that 90% of shareholders must accept WPP's offer, but WPP reserves the right to lower that number, and in theory a deal could go through at 50%.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Chi sono?
Così vengono definiti, in una ricerca dell’Osservatorio permanente contenuti digitali]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin:0;"><strong>Chi sono?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">Così vengono definiti, in una ricerca <a href="http://www.osservatoriocontenutidigitali.it/home/tabid/516/Default.aspx" target="_blank">dell’Osservatorio permanente contenuti digitali</a>, gli appartenenti a due aree specifiche, identificate integrando i dati sulle nuove tecnologie e i consumi culturali.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">Innanzi tutto l'Osservatorio fotografa le dinamiche in atto, sintetizzandole con questo grafico</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1951" title="oss_08_0" src="http://lamontagnaincantata.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/oss_08_0.gif" alt="" width="492" height="366" /></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;">E con questa tabella riassuntiva del trend, in atto.</p>
<p style="margin:0;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1952" title="oss_08_1" src="http://lamontagnaincantata.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/oss_08_1.gif" alt="" width="492" height="369" /></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;">Poi, individua le aree: per l'Italia sono cinque:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">un’area a massiccio consumo televisivo e bassa fruizione culturale = <strong>TV People</strong></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">un’area a moderata fruizione culturale e utilizzo di tecnologie tradizionali = <strong>Tradizionalisti</strong></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">un’area a forte fruizione di consumi culturali e moderata fruizione tecnologica = <strong>Sofisticati</strong></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">un’area che unisce una forte attitudine alle nuove tecnologie ad una spiccata propensione al consumo di contenuti culturali e di intrattenimento, orientata a PC e web = <strong>Eclettici</strong></div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">un’altra area fortemente tecnologica orientata alla fruizione esclusivamente ludica delle  nuove tecnologie = <strong>Technofan</strong></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;">Attenzione, però, la relazione fra utilizzo della tecnologia e fruizione di contenuti culturali e d’intrattenimento non si manifesta in modo univoco:</p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1944" title="oss_08_2" src="http://lamontagnaincantata.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/oss_08_2.gif" alt="" width="492" height="369" /></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;">Se, da una parte, la scarsa attitudine alla tecnologia generalmente si traduce in un limitato interesse per i contenuti culturali e d’intrattenimento</p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>NON</strong> è tuttavia possibile affermare il contrario</p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>L’interesse e – soprattutto – la valorizzazione dei contenuti si rivelano legati non tanto alla disponibilità/attitudine alle nuove tecnologie, bensì alle modalità (e quindi alle finalità) con cui tali tecnologie sono utilizzate.</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1945" title="oss_08_3gif" src="http://lamontagnaincantata.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/oss_08_3gif.gif" alt="" width="492" height="369" /></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;">Sembra che sia la discriminante culturale a permettere e orientare verso un utilizzo attivo o passivo delle nuove tecnologie: la tecnologia di per sé costituisce uno strumento neutro.</p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>Per comprendere, dunque, in modo corretto l’impatto delle nuove tecnologie sul paese, non si deve parlare solo di <span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">divario digitale</span> </span>(<em>digital divide</em>) ma anche di <span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">divario culturale</span> </span>(cultural <em>divide</em>)</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1946" title="oss_08_4" src="http://lamontagnaincantata.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/oss_08_4.gif" alt="" width="492" height="369" /></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>Lo studio è interessante anche perché considera la diversa relazione tra genitore eclettico e genitore technofan con i propri figli e rivela che il genitore eclettico dedica alla formazione dei propri figli molto più tempo della media italiana e dei genitori technofan</strong>.</p>
<p style="margin:0;">Tempo e attenzione sono dedicati al bambino:</p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>sotto il profilo della formazione culturale</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Quando il bambino è più piccolo legge spesso insieme a lui (10% vs technofan)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Lo accompagna a visitare mostre/musei (+22% vs technofan), a concerti (+15%), a teatro (+13%), al cinema (+7%)</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>sotto il profilo della formazione tecnologica, anche se in modo meno marcato</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Spesso passa tempo al pc con il figlio (+3% vs technofan)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Ha un ruolo importante nel suo apprendimento tecnologico (+6% vs technofan)</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>Nelle famiglie tecnologicamente avanzate, sia Eclettici sia Technofan, i rapporti tra genitori e figli sono trasversalmente caratterizzati da:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Approccio positivo alla tecnologia e senso di controllo del mezzo</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;">La tecnologia è oramai un’abitudine… scandisce ed accompagna la mia famiglia…siamo all’avanguardia…siamo al passo con i tempi…ci sentiamo attuali…</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Abilità e fiducia</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;">I miei non si preoccupano quando vado su Internet anche perché i miei si fidano del fatto che non vado su siti compromettenti… …c’è fiducia, sanno che non mi avventuro oltre</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Rapporto di collaborazione e scambio di conoscenze e di esperienze tra genitori e figli nell’apprendimento e nell’utilizzo delle tecnologie</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;">Loro condividono con noi la loro parte di tecnologia… Ci chiamano per farci vedere quando giocano. Se guardano un video particolarmente strano o divertente su Youtube, ci chiamano e lo vediamo insieme</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Fruizione nomade della tecnologia in famiglia: figli e genitori si scambiano le proprie postazioni in base al compito da eseguire, la tecnologia rende itinerante la famiglia in casa</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Uso promiscuo e contemporaneo degli strumenti e dei contenuti: nelle case si respira il protagonismo degli strumenti capaci di inglobare, integrare ed elaborare le capacità di altri strumenti tecnologici specifici</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;"> <strong>La tecnologia più che essere insegnata viene condivisa</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> <a href="http://lamontagnaincantata.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/oss_08_5.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1947" title="oss_08_5" src="http://lamontagnaincantata.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/oss_08_5.gif" alt="" width="492" height="369" /></a></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Emerge da parte dei genitori la difficoltà nel guidare e affiancare i figli nella crescita dell’utilizzo delle tecnologie</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;"> la percezione di essere superati si affianca alla voglia di essere riconosciuti come aggiornati/competenti dall’altra.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">Questo meccanismo “competitivo” genera una marcata propensione da parte dei genitori a condividere con i figli un utilizzo “adolescenziale” della rete</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;"> il 33% dei genitori che hanno accesso ad internet scaricano musica o film con o per i figli</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">La vigilanza dei genitori sui figli è ridotta</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;"> l’abilità dei figli (presunta o percepita) spesso stempera la preoccupazione dei genitori e dirada l’atto del controllo… (bassa consapevolezza del tempo e dell’utilizzo che figli fanno della tecnologia)</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="margin:0;">L’apprendimento da parte dei giovani spesso avviene per tentativi ed errori all’interno di un gruppo di pari</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;">apprendimento “orizzontale”, poca coscienza critica.</p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;">[Va, precisato che tra le nuove generazioni, ed in particolare per i bambini sotto i 14 anni, la dieta mediatica giornaliera risulta molto diversificata. La TV continua a richiamare molto l’attenzione dei giovani (tempo medio 1h e 45 minuti al giorno); cresce però anche il tempo trascorso sulle consolle dei videogiochi ( in media 40 minuti) e sui pc (circa 1 ora al giorno)]</p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong>Come sarà, dunque, l'Italia che verrà?</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0;"> </p>

<p style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;">Vi consiglio, infine,  di guardarvi tutta <a href="http://www.osservatoriocontenutidigitali.it/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=xX305Ldb2uc%3d&#38;tabid=1889" target="_blank">la presentazione</a> (<em>39 slide</em>), frutto di una ricerca documentata; offre più di uno spunto di riflessione :)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>da: <a href="http://www.gamesblog.it/post/9735/classifiche-hardware-e-software-italia-10-1509" target="_blank">Gamesblog.it</a></p>
<p>Nuovo aggiornamento delle classifiche hardware e software del mercato videoludico italiano, fornite da Multiplayer.it in collaborazione con Nielsen: come al solito, i dati analizzati sono relativi al campione dei principali canali di distribuzione nazionali.</p>
<p>E’ <strong>Kung Fu Panda</strong> il nuovo primo nella classifica software, nella sua versione PS2 che rende la console Sony sempre meno “vecchia” insieme a Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3, terzo. Deve accontentarsi solo della seconda posizione Wii Fit, titolo più venduto delle ultime settimane.</p>
<p>Per il resto nessuna novità particolare da segnalare tranne l’uscita dalla top 10 di Metal Gear Solid 4 a favore di un altro titolo PS3, Mercenaries 2. Nessun cambiamento di rilievo in classifica hardware, dove continuano a regnare incontrastate le due console Nintendo, con DS davanti a Wii.</p>
<p>Segue la coppia Sony composta da PS3 e PSP mentre Xbox 360 ancora una volta riesce a battere PS2, evidentemente ormai posseduta praticamente da chiunque anche in Italia. Di seguito le due graduatorie nel dettaglio:</p>
<p>TOP 10 All Formats:<br />
1. Kung Fu Panda (PS2)<br />
2. Wii-Fit + Wii Balance Board (Wii)<br />
3. Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 (PS2)<br />
4. La Guida in Cucina (DS)<br />
5. Kung Fu Panda (DS)<br />
6. Mario Kart + Wii Wheel (Wii)<br />
7. Wii Play (Wii)<br />
8. The Sims 2 Live With Friends (PC)<br />
9. Secret Agent Clank (PSP)<br />
10. Mercenaries 2 Inferno di Fuoco (PS3)</p>
<p>Classifica Hardware:<br />
1. DS<br />
2. Wii<br />
3. PlayStation 3<br />
4. PSP<br />
5. Xbox 360<br />
6. PlayStation 2</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://strassenblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/big-mac-index.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Nachdem man mich nun schon mehrfach gerügt hat, dass ich keinen Festnetzanschluss (und -telefon) mehr habe (deswegen telefoniert man jetzt weniger) und mich in der letzten Woche leidenschaftlich zum T-Mobile G1 geschrieben habe - für dieses <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobiltelefon">mobile</a> Gerät braucht man definitiv keinen Festnetzanschluss - fühle ich mich endgültig motiviert ein paar ergänzende Takte dazu loszuwerden. Einerseits als Rechtfertigung für mein unzeitgemäßes und unangepasstes Handeln heute. Andererseits aber gerne auch als Argumentationsgrundlage für alle, die meiner Vision folgen möchten.</p>
<p><a href="http://strassenblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/zehn_jahre_zukunft_seite_33.jpg"></a><a href="http://strassenblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/zehn_jahre_zukunft_seite_3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-450" title="zehn_jahre_zukunft_seite_3" src="http://strassenblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/zehn_jahre_zukunft_seite_3.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://strassenblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/zehn_jahre_zukunft_seite_32.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Was in Amerika schon deutlich weiter fortgeschritten ist wird bei uns erst in ein paar Jahren so deutliche sichtbar werden: Ja, auch wir schaffen das Festnetz ab. Weil es zu teuer ist/ wird. Frei nach dem Motto <a href="http://www.z-punkt.de/fileadmin/be_user/D_News/D_2008_01_Newsletter/Zehn_Jahre_Zukunft.pdf">'Always on, always connected'</a> werden in den nächsten Jahren immer weniger Gesprächsminuten auf das Festnetz entfallen. Und damit auch in zahlreichen Haushalten überflüssig und abgeschafft. Warum?</p>
<p>Nielsen hat sch hier das Thema zumindest für Amerika schon etwas genauer zur Brust genommen. <a href="http://www.psfk.com/2008/09/home-phones-becoming-an-expensive-luxury.html">Hier</a> können sogar schon Aussagen darüber getroffen werden, wer sich seines Festnetzanschluss entledigt hat. Es sind, und das überrascht nicht wirklich, die Jungen und die Armen - 2/3 sind unter 35 Jahre alt und 46% verdienen weniger als 50.000$ pro Jahr. Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass Singles und Doubles verglichen mit einem Festnetztelefon bis zu 33$ pro Monat sparen können. Das sind eine Menge Big Mäc.</p>
<p> <a href="http://strassenblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/big-mac-index.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-445" title="big-mac-index" src="http://strassenblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/big-mac-index.jpg?w=455" alt="" width="455" height="617" /></a></p>
<p>Ich möchte mich nicht zu weit aus dem Fenster lehnen, aber ich könnte mir eine ähnliche Entwicklung auch für Deutschland vorstellen. Rein statistisch gesehen hat <a href="http://www.blogspan.net/698-deutsche-kaufen-2007-fast-33-millionen-handys.html">jeder Deutsche</a> etwas mehr als einen Mobilfunkvertrag, das heißt Festnetz konkurriert gegen Handy und nicht umgekehrt.</p>
<p><a href="http://strassenblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/mobiltelefon_download.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-453" title="mobiltelefon_download" src="http://strassenblog.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/mobiltelefon_download.jpg?w=455" alt="" width="455" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>Mit den jüngsten Smartphones wird nun auch noch Internet mobiler und VoIP verfügbarer. Die Prognose für die nächsten 10 Jahre sagt, dass gerade Privathaushalte mit mittlerem Einkommen sich für eine sog. Medien-Flatrate entscheiden werden, die einfach alle Verbindungen des täglichen Lebens beinhaltet und abdeckt.</p>

<div></div>
<p align="justify">Martedì su Fox migliora "<strong>Fringe</strong>" grazie al traino del debutto  della nuova, quinta stagione, di "<strong>House</strong>" che realizza però ascolti inferiori alla premiere dello scorso anno, con un calo di circa il 28%. Il nuovo science thriller di J.J. Abrams è seguito da 13.2 milioni di spettatori mentre "House" da 14.7 milioni. Ancora molto bene su The CW "<strong>90210</strong>", visto da 3.3 milioni di  spettatori (1.7/5) e "<strong>Privileged</strong>" (2.4 milioni, 1.1/3), anche se quest'ultimo  leggermente in calo rispetto alla premiere.</p>
<div></div>
<p align="justify">Mercoledì la serata è dominata da "<strong>Bones</strong>"; ancora ascolti non  esaltanti invece per le commedie "<strong>Til Death</strong>", terza stagione, seguita da 5.1  milioni di spettatori (1.9/5) e <strong>"Do Not Disturb</strong>", vista da 4.1 milioni (1.6/4) .</p>
<div></div>
<p align="justify">Giovedì su The CW ritorno alla grande per "<strong>Supernatural</strong>", quarta stagione, e  "<strong>Smallville</strong>", ottava stagione, seguiti rispettivamente da 4 (1.7/5) e 4.4  (1.8/6) milioni di spettatori. Bene su CBS la canadese <strong>"Flashpoint</strong>".</p>
<p align="justify">Domenica la cerimonia di premiazione della 60esima edizione dei Primetime Emmy Awards registra un record negativo, con  il 12% di ascolti in meno rispetto all'anno scorso.</p>
<p align="justify">Sulla tv via cavo, lunedì gran finale per "<strong>The Closer</strong>" su TNT (tornerà a  gennaio) e "<strong>Weeds</strong>" su Showtime, seguiti rispettivamente da 7.6 e 1 milione di  spettatori.</p>
<p align="justify">Benissimo anche HBO, con "<strong>True Blood</strong>" seguito da 1.6 milioni di spettatori  (il 24% in più rispetto alla premiere!) e "<strong>Entourage</strong>", visto da 1.6 milioni,  pari alla premiere della scorsa settimana.</p>
<p align="justify">Domenica bene <strong>“Army Wives</strong>” su Lifetime (4.3 milioni, 1.8/4).</p>
<div></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most common refrains I hear from pharma execs is that they are reluctant to participate in social media because of the potential regulatory implications. While I would never discount these concerns, I wanted to point to an excellent white paper recently published (August 2008) by Nielsen Online: <em>Listening to Consumers in a Highly Regulated Environment: How Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Can Leverage Consumer-Generated Media</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nielsen-online.com/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-214 alignleft" style="border:0 none;margin:2px;" title="Nielsen Online" src="http://pharma2blog.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/nielsenonline_rgbvsml.gif" alt="" width="225" height="91" /></a>The section that most caught my attention focused on the rate of adverse events found on message boards and social networks. Think it's high? Think again. The study found that only 1 in 500 messages analyzed met all four of the FDA’s AE reporting requirements. Read the excerpt below to get more details. I think the <a href="http://www.netratings.com/resources.jsp?section=preso_lib&#38;amp;nav=4" target="_blank">entire paper is well worth a read and you can download it here at no charge</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you to Melissa Davies, the author and research director at Nielsen, who granted permission to excerpt the section on Adverse Events from Nielsen Online's August 2008 white paper - <em>Listening to Consumers in a Highly Regulated Environment: How Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Can Leverage Consumer-Generated Media</em></p>
<p><strong>Social Media and Adverse Event Reporting</strong></p>
<p>Any pharmaceutical company considering an entry into the social media space will naturally wonder about discussion of adverse events. Are consumers sharing information online that would indicate an adverse experience? Does social media monitoring trigger the AE reporting requirement?</p>
<p>At this writing, there is no FDA guideline or regulation that specifically covers the content of online discussion in a way that is different from reporting AE information derived from any other source. Current FDA guidelines give four parameters for submitting information about adverse experiences: the pharmaceutical company should have knowledge of (i) an identifiable patient; (ii) an identifiable reporter; (iii) a specific drug or biologic involved in the event; and (iv) an adverse event or fatal outcome. (From FDA’s "Guidance for Industry: Postmarketing Adverse Experience Reporting for Human Drug and Licensed Biological Products: Clarification of What to Report," issued August 1997; available online at: <a href="http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/1830fn1.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/1830fn1.pdf</a>.) According to the guideline: “If any of these basic elements remain unknown after being actively sought by the applicant, manufacturer, or licensed manufacturer, a report on the incident <em>should not be submitted</em> to the FDA because reports without such information make interpretation of their significance difficult, at best, and impossible, in most instances” (emphasis added). A draft guideline for filing individual case safety reports related to OTC treatments was posted on the FDA website in October 2007; it reiterates these same four parameters and again states that the responsible person should “wait to submit a report on the incident to the FDA until the information is obtained.”<br />
This raises a key question: When adverse experiences are mentioned within consumer-generated media (CGM), do they meet the FDA’s criteria for reporting?</p>
<p>In a recent Nielsen analysis of 500 healthcare-related messages posted online across multiple disease categories, Nielsen’s BuzzMetrics analysts found only one message that incorporated the information needed to meet all four of the FDA’s AE reporting requirements. In this message, a caregiver whose mother was taking chemotherapy reported that her mother experienced abdominal fluid retention, noted that this was not a listed side effect of the medication, and inquired in the online community whether this fluid retention might be a sign that the medication was working.</p>
<p>A note on identifiable reporters: Though the FDA guideline does not specify what constitutes an identifiable reporter, the 2007 draft guideline for OTC reporting notes that in order for an AE report to be submitted to the FDA, there should be “sufficient information for the responsible person to follow-up, such as a phone number or e-mail address.”</p>
<p>Most online discussion communities discourage the use of personally identifiable information. This is especially true within healthcare communities, where personal privacy is even more carefully guarded. For example, WebMD’s Terms and Conditions of Use include the following: “To protect your privacy, you agree that you will not submit any media that contains Personally Identifiable Information (like name, phone number, e-mail address or web site URL) of you or of anyone else.” Other websites use similar language to caution participants against revealing personal information.</p>
<p>In the recent analysis of 500 messages, Nielsen’s BuzzMetrics analysts found that 56 messages (11%) contained identifying information that could be used to reach out to an individual to follow up on a possible AE report. It is important to note that all of these messages came from Yahoo! or Google groups, rather than from discussion boards. Groups use their members’ e-mail addresses as their online identification; this is a key difference from discussion boards, which use less identifiable screen names for members’ online ID. This use of e-mail addresses provides contact information that could be used to follow up with a reporter to gather the details that would be needed for an AE report.</p>
<p>14 messages mention both a specific medication and an identifiable reporter 4 messages mention an adverse experience and include an identifiable patient and a specific medication 1 message also includes an identifiable reporter</p>
<p>Among 500 messages analyzed, one message incorporated all four AE reporting criteria</p>
<p>It is clear that a pharmaceutical company that aggressively monitors social media may pick up the occasional AE within patient/caregiver online discussion. Nielsen Online’s experience is that this happens very rarely, with a volume that is entirely manageable within companies' broader AE monitoring programs.</p>
