Advertising is coming up to a new arena with advent of social media sites and blogging as now a reader rather than consuming time on TV, newspapers and on the radio is involved in one to one exercises with trusted people on social media site chatting.  And this all is happening, due to the rise of in-stream Twitter advertising. But this even on twitter is generating ugly scene of paid advertising where a person is paying for ensuing conversation on Twitter and there occurs a rapid bombardment of sponsored tweets with common and popular aphorisms like Problem solved! Except it’s not and comes out as the same types of advertisements which are being blocked by TiVo or an internet ad blocker.

Blendtec is increasing its sales 5x by turning the ads into entertainment.
