The clients want to know about this stuff, but the agencies would rather spend money on some lame ass TV ad that does nothing for their client except spend money. What i was getting at is that they will eventually catch up and "try" and use the new medium and 9 times out of 10 they will stuff it up...but at least some of them are trying...if 1 out 10 things work it shows that at least they have taken notice and that is the first step to them actually getting it right...hopefully.
