It's not like the Los Angeles Business Journal is out to get us. It's just that some media outlets outsource their online advertising to affiliate programs and some of those programs have malicious ads snuck into them by evil spammers posing as advertisers. That said, Google and StopBadware.org have now joined together to bring their internet neighborhood watch to your web block:What is this page? You landed on this page because Google's independent testing...

Water-coloring, jazz-listening, horse track-attending, local politics-loving, cocktail-making, Joseph Mailander is stepping down from the blog he helped form, the Martini Republic. LAist has the exclusive interview with one of our favorite LA bloggers who dares say something about the Yankees which we recommend that you ignore as we have done. LAist: There appears to be some major changes in Martini Republic, namely I see that you are not the Editor of the site any...

All he wanted to do was share his big moment with as many eyeballs as possible. He was supposed to pop the question during the Super Bowl during a commercial, but when the spot was yanked, the guy behind MySuperProposal.com settled for having the ad run tonight during the popular show "Veronica Mars", his dear one's favorite program. "JP" explained it a little on his site yesterday before he popped the question: At various...

The Lakers are halfway through the “Coldest places in North America during the dead of winter” road trip to the Midwest and East. So far: four games, two wins. Not a stellar outcome, but not bad considering they have two starters (Luke Walton and Kwame Brown) watching games in street clothes, plus had to play one without Kobe Bryant (for an infraction far less serious than what LeBron James got away with without a suspension,...

- "These days, consumers are like walking TiVos, filtering out so much of what they see and hear in advertising. To reach this media-savvy demographic, advertisers have to 'give to get.' In other words, they have to give viewers something special, something unique, in exchange for their attention," Mark Kingdon, chief executive, Organic Inc. said regarding the fact that YouTube is opening its floodgates to movie studios, record labels, and other companies who want...

Last summer Fox's Rupert Murdoch bought LA Internet start-up MySpace for $600 million; now, almost a year later, Fox execs are speculating that the social networking phenomenom is worth about five times that, according to the British site The Observer, which wrote two stories today about the media giant.

MySpace is one of those online places where young people hang out - though 'swarm' might be a more accurate term for the kind of 'social networking' that goes on there. It is fantastically popular with teenagers, who use it to link up with online 'friends'. And it has been growing at internet speed. When Murdoch bought it last July, it had 16 million visitors. By the end of 2005 it had 29 million and currently claims to have 55 million registered users.

The Winter Olympics in Turino -- formerly Turin for those English speakers who thought that extra "o" was just too much to pronounce -- have been akin to the proverbial two-week-old, 500-pound elephant in the room for most Angelenos. Ratings have been down, thanks to a myriad of factors (e.g., hyped superstars coming up duds, other networks throwing up new programs, it's too cold in LA to watch cold sports on TV).

Gabrielle Middaugh Pascoe is a journalist and webentrepreneur determined to enlighten Angelenos about every fascinating activity that our metropolis has to offer. She edits and distributes a daily email newsletter called Single Shot, which delivers tips and information on the very best people and places and things in the city of Los Angeles.

Last night we attended the launch party for Tu Ciudad Los Angeles, a new lifestyle magazine targeted at 30-something, upscale Hispanics with above average household incomes. The party was held at the historic and plush Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with great music by Go Betty Go and Los Amigos Invisibles. Plus, an open bar, which we feel is always a good idea at events like this.

New to Los Angeles? Looking for a way to make a long-lasting impression on all the cool, hip and happening folks spending their hard earned cash on living the life? Fed up with billboards and normal television advertising as a way to get your own personal brand forcefed upon as many Angelenos as possible? There is a solution.

Los Angeles’s vast world of media extends beyond the Los Angeles Times and the LA Weekly to include print publications that cater to myriad local interests and tastes. Among these is Sushi and Tofu magazine helmed by David Kudo. This publication serves as a valuable community resource for food lovers and L.A. residents with an interest in Japan, and provides an additional connection to a country which has had a significant impact on the history and development of our region. Sushi and Tofu is fascinatingly indicative of the "glocalized" world in which we currently live.
