Meebo Analysizes Advertising

June 26, 2008

“We’re giving advertisers more information on how their ads are pervading the network,” Meebo’s Martin Green said. “We’re looking at the nature of the people who shared that studio’s trailer or content with friends. Are they (the) same ‘connectors’ in the network? Or did you appeal to people who don’t normally act on promotions?”
