The Next Big Ad Medium: Podcasts: "Remember podcasting? While marketers have been busy uploading commercials to YouTube, the once-buzzed-about medium has spent the past two years building its audience and enhancing advertising capability. Now, podcasts are finally poised to grab a larger slice of the multibillion-dollar online advertising pie.
Research firm eMarketer expects that advertisers will spend more than $400 million on podcasting by 2011, up from $80 million last year, according to a report scheduled for release later this week. Fueling the anticipated growth is the expected entrance of Google (GOOG) into the podcasting arena, as well as new podcasting services focused on answering advertisers' most pressing questions: How many people are tuning in to the hundreds of thousands of online podcasts, and who are they?"

Advertising is creeping onto cellphones around the globe - International Herald Tribune: "Already, ads are creeping onto cellphones around the globe. At this rate, experts say, it won't be long before the world's 2.2 billion mobile phone users think it natural to tune into a 15-second spot before watching a video, sending a message or listening to a downloaded song in between phone conversations."

Study
Nearly two-thirds of US households (62%) have more than one cell phone in the house, ICR Study: "Household characteristics that correlate to having multiple cell phones include:
-- PC access the internet: Those households that use PCs for internet access are more likely to have multiple cell phones
-- Digital Camera Ownership: those households owning a digital camera are more likely to have multiple cell phones and/or one of the cell phones may, itself, be a digital camera
-- Marital status: those households including married couples were more likely to have multiple cell phones
-- Household size: those households with more people are more likely to own multiple cell phones
-- Number of children in the household: the greater the number of children, the more likely the household was to own multiple cell phones. This relationship is particularly pronounced among households with children aged 12-17 and is probably due to those children being provided with cellular phones themselves."
