• Nevertheless lower classes (CD), which
account for the majority of the population,
are beginning to get online

Final remarks
If you build, they will come
• In 2006, 161 billion gigabytes of
information was produced in the world
• Trying to come up with new content that
will compete against and beat what’s out
there is a very ungrateful task
• Whenever possible, build and let the user
participate
• They love to interact, they love to produce,
and chances to find valuable content are
very high
• Welcome to the longtail of advertising :)
 Thank you!
