Not exact matches
Inventory in this case means the
amount of available
ad space on your site.
reductio
ad absurdum; if I give
space and time for the agnostics and the atheists to claim their beliefs, then those
of us who believe must be given the exact
amount of time and
space.
That's all well and good, but does slightly fly in the face
of the site's main advantage over Tinder and its ilk — that there's
space for more than a tweet's worth
of information on the profiles.Still, the full profiles and questions are available, and it's free - to - use (with a few irritating
ads), making it a worthwhile option for anyone hoping to know a bit more about their dates before meeting up for the first time.Just like online dating before it, dating apps started out as a bit
of a dirty secret — how many Tinder profiles joke that they'll want to lie about how you met?But time and ubiquity have meant that apps like Tinder and Grindr are no longer seen as a source
of shame, and they're just another
of the many ways people can try and meet each other in the modern digital age.It limits you to 12 or so potential matches per day (the exact
amount depends on how many Facebook friends you have), giving it a bit more focus than the sprawl
of Tinder or Happn.They also just introduced timed matches which give you 24 hours to send the first message otherwise it expires, encouraging users to make matches more quickly.
But taking that same situation and applying it to the state
of so - called bullying, it
amounts to more like this: the friends are affected by an author's behavior, so one
of them buys national
ad space to tell readers across the country that the author deserves to be raped in jail (as one
of the infamous Goodreads shelves was labelled).
Although it occupied just a small percentage
of the total
amount of space on the page — about the same size as above, and contained just 13 words, the
ad (1) immediately attracted my attention, (2) engaged my interest with the promise
of inspiring ideas, and (3) made it easy for me to respond — which I did.
Man I thought Dead
Space 3 was getting an insane
amount of press and publicity until I realized that I was lumping
ads for DS3 and Crysis 3 together, due to those games being identical to a disinterested party.
Working tirelessly for three short years, he was prolifically busy producing a vast and diverse
amount of work which included time capsules, minimal sculpture and room constructions, kitch acrylic paintings attributed to another artist (Es Que) to be shown at a Lord & Taylors department store gallery, enigmatic rainbow buttons, half dollars cast in his own blood and acrylic medium, a lip stamp that he used in the subways to humorously deface
ads for pantyhose, single - message bronze plaques that only become art when implanted in a sidewalk; graffiti stencils spray painted in unconventional
spaces and a series
of anonymous advertisements in Artforum magazine encouraging starting rumors, telling lies and perpetrating hoaxes, smoking, tripping and teaching art that collectively he referred to as «micro-manifestos».
The next time you're reading a magazine or looking at a billboard, notice the
amount of white
space that is used in the
ad.
Are they the
ads that are jammed full
of text or are they
ads that have a large
amount of unused
space («white
space»).
