  Targeting Well-defined Audience Segments

contra los elementos, originally uploaded by luzdelsur.

Accessing the Internet at high speeds has several positive effects on Internet usage resulting in higher connectivity and new sorts of services.

Due to better transparency today its possible to reach one's audience when they are searching online, while researching a product or service and when they are spending time online on activities like social networking or watching videos.

I'm expecting more new touch-points in 2008 due to an evolving digital landscape, just thinking of innovative messaging services...

Phantastic capture, taken at Playa Chica, Tarifa, Spain, southernmost point of Europe.

  A Favorite Ski Resort, l'Espace Killy, Val d'Isere

DSC01505, Originally uploaded by chevaliermorgan.

Val d'Isère is known for its charming "chalet" architecture and the "l'Espace Killy", one of the largest ski areas in the world reaching from 1785 m–3599 m of altitude offering 300km of piste plus breathtaking off piste skiing.

This year's season started already with lot's of snow beyond 100 cm, the photo shows the center of Val d'Isere in Dec/2007as an amazingly quiet winter idyll covered in deep snow. Excellent precausions for the coming ski season, and of course an excellent photo.

  Yesterday's Fabulous Horse Racing Event in D.

Sparkassen-Renntag, originally uploaded by drasir.

Always a pleasure to visit Düsseldorf's picturesque green racecourse a few minutes away from here. It's just amazing to watch a live race experiencing how fast they can go. The difference from average starts with the saddle. Excellent shot!

  Camel Safari into the Sunset of Dahab

amigo dahab. Originally uploaded by ohegazy71.

Those who like it are crazy about it. People say that there is simply no better way to explore the vast area of the Sinai Peninsula guided by Bedouins.

The Dromedary eco-behavioural adaptations include the ability to withstand long periods without fresh water, it's an ideal vessel to cruise around and experience the Sinai desert.

More Dahab activities:

  Relaxing between Two Dives on Dreamy Maldives

Summer time!, originally uploaded by muha....

A wonderful place to relax after an exhausting drift dive on the Maldives. I'm wondering which of the 1,192 islets it might be. Meeru, Kani, Kurumba, Bandos, Paradise Island...

Well, in any case i think it's one of the 86 tourist resorts. Dreamy.

  Southernmost Point of Europe: Tarifa, Spain

Kites on Tarifa Beach, originally uploaded by itsamish.

Mekka of surf innovation and reputed to be the windiest town in Europe: The high arts of kiteboarding today have less to do with surfing than with flying - Gibraltar isn't far away.

  Fabulous Shot of a Sunset on the Maldives

Sucker. Sun. Set. Delete me, originally uploaded by Ahmed Zahid.

Maldives are famous for their short, but powerful sunsets. Just before the sun sinks in the ocean it's the best time to experience a beautiful colored spectacle. One minute later it's dark. An excellent shot!

  HAPPY HOLIDAYS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Val d'Isere, l'Espace Killy
The slide show will tell you about some of my favorite off-piste that l'Espace Killy offers. I present these more to be viewed where we have skied rather than to encourage you to do the same. The risk zero doesn't exist in the mountains. Off-piste skiing involves analyzing the mountain to find these safer areas, skiing in a manner that minimizes risk and being equipped.

  Fantastic Shot of a Sailfish Raising it's Sail

Sailfish Sails By, originally uploaded by Rob Hughes.

Although diving extensively in tropical open waters I've never been lucky to meet a Sailfish. Reaching speeds of up to 68 m/h it's the fastest fish on the ocean, it's an exiting and extraordinary opportunity to shoot such a photo of a Sailfish with it's sail raised. I'm really jealous.

  Fog at Sunrise in Dubai

Fog at sunrise in Dubai, originally uploaded by Harry Lambert.

Flying with Emirates to a dive trip on the Maldives involves 9 h of pure flight time from Fankfurt/Germany to Male/Maldives and usually requires one stop in Dubai, well nothing special about that, usually it's clear sky and a hot sunny weather. The more I got surprised when I stumbled upon this amazing photo.
