Doing so in a targeted sense where the context is relevant is a (much needed!) bonus. Engagement then adds to this in a very big way, as is evidenced here.Dave HamiltonThu, 23 Oct 2008 13:33:33 -0000http://www.parmet.net/pr/2008/10/23/can-we-get-more-annoying/#comment-4680582interruption is still the default model because the type of person that would be eating at a mall food court and be surprised at the great ad opportunity on mall food court tables are not savvy enough to understand engagement.Gregory NgThu, 23 Oct 2008 11:18:37 -0000
