The flip side of this change - and this is the third big shift in marketing - is that less and less content will be free. You will pay for things you don't have to pay for today, because interruption-based advertising will not be able to subsidize them anymore. And if you're not willing to pay for content, you'll have to put up with a world filled with even more interruptions. We're living with this shift already. You can pay $4 to see a movie without interruption, either on video or through pay-per-view. Or you can wait a year, see it for free on network television, and endure constant interruptions. More and more entertainment will end up working this way.

Exactly,you're going to get that person's attention.Online management degree But there's too much going on in our lives for us to enjoy being interrupted anymore. So our natural response is to ignore the interruptions.prior learning | journalism degree

OMG,There are 45 million people with Web access and 1.5 million commercial sites that are vying for their attention. That's only 30 people per site. The economics just don't work.High School Diploma | Distance learning

A very interesting article indeed. I have printed it out and will re-read for inspiration."The biggest problem with mass-market advertising, Godin says, is that it fights for people's attention by interrupting them."- this is such a good quote and I totally agree. And as you said, I personally do not recall what ad I saw on TV this morning let alone last night, because I consciously block television ads.
It is definitely a big challenge for businesses to grab the attention of prospects these days because individuals have developed very strict filtering processes.sports flooring|

I have always really enjoyed Seth's approach to marketing and business in general, I think that its refreshing to say the least. He helps ordinarily uncreative people look at their business in a new creative way and not only that, but they can also make it work.

Marketing is taking on a whole life. Advertising is everywhere and will continue to work like this. I even see advertising while sitting on the dual flush toilet. Product placement will evolve with the presence of internet TV.

Advertising will always play a large role in a companies success. It seems like our culture is becoming more word of mouth and viral. Figuring out how to advertise without "advertising" seems to be the issue. dual flush toilet | low flow toilets | dual flush toilets

The purpose of business is to make a profit. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can get out of hand.

This form of marketing requires that the prospective customer has either obtained explicit permission to send their promotional message or implicit permission. This can be either via an online email opt-in form or by using search engines, which implies a request for information which can include that of a commercial nature.

I think that forms have their place but the main aim of having the website is to get people to contact you, so you have to make it as easy as possible for them.
I personally give my visitors a number of options to contact me - form, email, telephone, Skype, AIM.
Email harvesting is a small price to pay for increasing customer enquiries (and any decent spam software can sort that problem out).
