    What Comes After Batteries?

    By Seth Fletcher Posted on 10.29.2008 7 Comments

    Thanks in part to the inherent awesomeness of the word itself, it seems everyone is talking about ultracapacitors. Ultracapacitors store energy in an electrical field between two plates. They can charge faster than batteries, emit powerful pulses of electricity, and last almost indefinitely. Several companies make them, but the most hyped by far is EEStor. EEStor's ultracapacitors are set to power the ZENN City Car, an electric car with a 250-mile range that's supposed to arrive next year.

    Im going to be straight with you—if you dont click one of the ads on this page, were all doomed. Maybe not today or tomorrow or next week; but if all those banners and pop-ups and pop-unders and interstitials and nagging floating ads continue to be ignored, or worse, blocked outright, were every one of us in a mess of trouble. Im talking the entire high-flying media world dropping from the sky like flaming meteors. Like it or not, were all in an economic cold war. However, in this one, were fighting against ourselves.

    The trick to advertising is to get content providers to embed the product ad into the content. Instapundit.com does this from time to time and can almost single handedly move a book into the top 10 on Amazon.
