One of the leading Web Masters in USA advises all budding Internet Programers that one must always include a "What Is New" page in a project.Every loyal visitor looks for something new in a site, he argues.Since the whole idea of a site is to cater to the sensory demands of the potential visitor,I decided to include this page.New Programs,scripts,techniques,technological developments,things we always wanted to know but remained without, etc. are some of the topics that will be presented in this page.
BILLBOARD MAGICThe newest technology in handheld gadgetry, created by New York-based Streetbeam, will allow customers to get all sorts of nifty information beamed onto their Palms from outdoor advertisements such as billboards and bus kiosks.
Streetbeam allows advertisers to store digital information on their outdoor advertisements, so casual passers-by will not only be coaxed into wanting to buy the latest trends — they can find nearby stores and whether or not they're having a sale. Look for the small blinking lights next to the advertisement, which will indicate beamable info, point your Pilot at the ad and...beam it up.
"It could be some content or some call to action," said Jan Renner, Streetbeam's president. "'There's a store around the corner, go there now and get $30 off.'"
The company has formed a partnership with outdoor media company TDI to bring beaming to New York City sidewalks, where high pedestrian traffic equals high-exposure rates to potential beamers. Although New Yorkers are the guinea pigs, the technology is expected to expand to Boston, Washington, London and San Francisco early next year. And, for the moment, Banana Republic is the only advertiser on board, but the TDI partnership should yield more.
Because of the static nature of outdoor media such as billboards, most advertisements are only updated every couple of months, said Renner, but Streetbeam will eventually speed up that process.
Right now, the information Streetbeam ads spit out is updated by hand, but by March, it will be updated approximately every half an hour using cell phone technology.
Aside from straight ad information, users may also be able to get news updates or movie times for a nearby theater, Renner said.
In essence, ads could become street versions of the hotsync cradles that handhelds use to grab info from computers. Just press a button, and the most current information is beamed right to you — now you're in the know.
The current concern over many forms of wireless technology circle around privacy problems. If a store can track you as you walk past its windows because you are carrying a cell phone, wouldn't it be annoying to get smacked with a bleeping ad?
Even though that's a possibility that's being discussed, "I don't think people will go for that," Renner said.
Streetbeam circumvents this problem, because it's what's known as an 'opt-in' situation — you have to volunteer to receive the information by hitting a button on your handheld. So nobody gets a deluge of ads just from walking near stores and carrying a handheld.
