Native advertising is flourishing across social media, content portals, news properties, video-sharing sites and streaming services. Increased mobile use of these venues has fueled much of the growth, since native ads work best in the content streams that people tend to access on smartphones and tablets, according to a new eMarketer report, “Native Advertising: Difficult to Define, but Definitely Growing.”
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:
I find properly crediting as "sponsored content" the most ethical, but many advertisers do not like that for fear that readers will see it for what it is, advertising.

I don't agree with many of Seth's points; and not just because I'm a stubborn book lover. Here are my top 4 (quick) cautions: The ever-increasing price of ebooks no longer makes ebook as seductive, so I and many others are back to paper book purchases. Libraries are more than books -- especially to middle and lower class folks. "Single tasking" is far more productive than multi-tasking, and, hopefully sooner rather than later, the cultre will move back to focusing on what one's doing. Then there's the whole "power of the object" thing, which motivates not just collectors but humans at large.
