Smart technological advances in marketing technology like search or contextual marketing, create nothing but attention and interest, this is a direct marketing model which Deighton and Kornfeld claims to be non-appropriate as a ur-model for interactive marketing.

Brands should look at new possibilities, not through a lens of technology or intrusion, but by understanding the rules that govern social and cultural exchange through ubiquitous connectivity.

The web is more and more becoming a social platform, and if we start understanding people instead of just interrupting them we have a lot to gain.

As always: Hart first, then brain, and at the end; technology.
