A missed opportunity in E-marketing

I sometimes to E-marketing campaigns for festivals as you might know. I came up with an idea but working it out seems to be a problem.

The best way to spend money into E-marketing is direct marketing through social networking sites. In holland the most populair site is Hyves. Hyves supports advertisement by location, sex, age and education level.

If I want to setup an advertisement campaing I want to be able to select:

  • Location by radius around a certain postal code (and not a list of 10 cities in the whole country)
  • Taste (music, food, brands etc)
  • Age

Im not interesting in the persons education level, since im not a recruiting agency.

Lesson learned? I wish Hyves` advertisement features where as versatile as Facebook`s. Than I would set up several campaigns/month!

Hyves supports OpenID

openid big logo text Hyves supports OpenIDThe (dutch) community site Hyves finally supports OpenID.

This means almost half of holland has got an OpenID!
The downsite is that it still doesn`t support OpenID for registering on their site.
