Dry Lips and I, on the Whitedot forum, have been having a bit of a discussion on the topic of moving blog ads.
A study published in “Communication Research” found the following:
“This study investigated the effects of pop-up windows and animation on online users’ orienting response and memory for Web advertisements… The results fully supported the proposition that pop-up ads elicit orienting responses.”
Here are my brainwave study results comparing the following:
1. Read: reading a novel
2. Blog: www.salon.com (no moving ads – with subscription)
3. Ad: www.cbc.ca (few moving ads)
4. Ads: http://movies.msn.com (lots of moving ads)
5. guitar: Playing the guitar
Reading a novel
Here’s an excerpt from my new brainwave page.
Please let me know if you have any questions, suggestions for improvements, etc…

Kai Schreiber, the expert helping me out here, gave an excellent
an thoughtful answer.
Thank you Kai !

and a PhD in Physiology.
My pet peeve is scientists who use the term overstimulating when discussing the deleterious effects of TV on small children.
“The rapidly changing images and sounds of television, even in educational children’s programming, are certainly mesmerizing to young children but can be overstimulating, scientists say.”
