<p>Since this is my/our project I would like to quote <a title="joana bertholo" href="http://www.socialdesignblog.org/writers/#joanab" target="_blank">Joana Bértholo</a> who &#8216;declared interdependence&#8217; at the <a title="socialdesignblog" href="http://www.socialdesignblog.org" target="_blank">socialdesignblog</a>:</p>
<p>The <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/" target="_blank">declaration of cultural revolutionaries for 2009</a> is an open experiment created, stated and set forth by <a href="http://www.socialdesignsite.com/content/view/90/72/" target="_blank">art-ecology-education.org</a>. It is a “<em>putting in words of what is already in the air.</em>”</p>
<p>The intention is viral, that is, the more these ideas are being read, spoken out, thought and discussed, the more their energy will manifest in our world and in our society. It counts with the participation of everyone with whom it resonates with. This participation can be manifold &#8211; you can choose to pass it along to people you know, publish it on your own blog or website, discuss it with friends, or you can even create your own Cultural Revolutionaries actions and share it <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/" target="_blank">on the project’s website</a>.<br />
You can also get involved by translating it into your language. So far, the declaration is already available in english (below), <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=15" target="_blank">deutsch</a>, <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=6" target="_blank">español</a>, <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=116">français</a>, <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=208" target="_blank">chinese</a>, <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=11" target="_blank">português</a> de portugal, <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=119" target="_blank">italiano</a>, <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=121">svenska</a>, and <a href="http://culturalrevolutionaries.org/?page_id=183" target="_blank">euskera</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mal wieder etwas in eigener Sache. Wie ihr seht, gibt es jetzt <a title="Wikipedia - Google AdSense" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_AdSense" target="_blank">AdSense</a> und <a title="Contaxe" href="http://www.contaxe.com/?cref=1653487" target="_blank">Contaxe</a> Anzeigen auf Sound Of Sirens. Wir haben uns bemüht, Euch nicht mit der Werbung zu erschlagen, sie farblich dem Seitendesign anzupassen und haben auch nichts im Kopfbereich oder vor dem ersten Post geändert.</p>
<p>Eine gute Frage ist die nach dem &#8220;warum&#8221;. Unsere Besucherzahlen sind für ein special interest blog zwar gar nicht so schlecht, jedoch werden die Einnahmen nicht einmal ansatzweise dazu genügen, auch nur die Serverkosten zu decken und sich irgendwo im Cent-Bereich bewegen  – wenn überhaupt. Uns interessiert es viel mehr, wie gut die vielgelobten kontextbezogenen Anzeigen von Google und <a href="http://www.contaxe.com/?cref=1653487" target="_blank">Co.</a> wirklich sind und wie man in unserer medialen, digitalen Welt mit Werbung umgehen kann/muss.</p>
<h3>Folgende Gedanken stehen im Zentrum:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ist es überhaupt möglich, auf einem Blog, das sich hauptsächlich mit Nachhaltigkeit, Natur und nichtkommerziellen Themen beschäftigt, ja sogar über De-Branding und Konsumkritik berichtet, sinnvolle, kontextbezogene Werbung zu schalten?</li>
<li>Wie clever sind die Algorythmen der Anzeigendienstleister wirklich? (Die Befürchtung liegt ja nahe, dass z.B. beim <a title="Sound Of Sirens - The Golden Arches" href="http://www.soundofsirens.net/index.php/2009/03/21/golden-arches/" target="_self">&#8220;McDonald&#8217;s Post&#8221;</a> etwas weiter unten Burgeranzeigen kommen könnten.)</li>
<li>Wie wird Werbung im Internet heute wahrgenommen? Störfaktor Nr. 1?</li>
<li>Oder gibt es ein Bewusstsein dafür, dass ohne Werbung viele, viele Open Source Projekte und Gratisdienste gar nicht erst möglich wären?</li>
<li>Kann kontextbezogene Werbung vielleicht sogar helfen, tatsächlich neue, interessante Inhalte zu finden?</li>
</ul>
<p>Ihr seid natürlich wie immer herzlich gerne zur Diskussion eingeladen! Wie seht ihr das?</p>
<h3>Cookies</h3>
<p>Wir verzichten bewusst auf die rel. neue Option des Schaltens von interessenbezogenen Anzeigen. Hierzu werden nämlich Cookies verwendet, die das Surfverhalten der Besucher protokollieren und das geht uns aus datenschutzrechtlichen Gründen dann doch ein wenig zu weit. Google weiss eh schon genug über uns. Die Problematik von behavioral targeting, wie der Werber von heute dazu sagt, wird <a title="seo-handbuch.de - Kritisch: Google Adsense nutzt Behavioral Targeting" href="http://www.seo-handbuch.de/suchmaschinen-suchmaschinenoptimierung/kritisch-google-adsense-nutzt-behavioral-targeting" target="_blank">hier</a> gut erklärt.</p>
<h3>Feeds</h3>
<p>Darüberhinaus haben wir die Feeds von Auszug auf Volltext umgestellt. D.h. die Abonennten müssen theoretisch nur noch zum Kommentieren die Seite besuchen. <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Es gibt zwar jetzt auch Werbung in den Feeds, allerdings nur in Form eines einzelnen, kleinen Anzeigenblocks am Ende des Feeds.</span> Der Wunsch dazu wurde ja auch ganz abgesehen von AdSense schon länger geäußert, stimmts Reto? ;)</p>
<h3>AdBlocker</h3>
<p>Ja, es gibt eine Möglichkeit die Werbung abzuschalten. Falls die sog. AdBlocker noch unbekannt sein sollten: das sind kleine Plugins, die sich meistens mit ein paar wenigen Klicks im Browser installieren lassen. Fortan wird die oftmals lästige Werbung ausgefiltert. Das funktioniert sogar sehr gut und läuft absolut automatisch. Einen ausgezeichneten AdBlocker für Firefox gibt es hier: <a title="Firefox Addons - AdBlock Plus" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/1865" target="_blank">AdBlock Plus.</a> Wer auf OS X mit Safari unterwegs ist, wird <a title="Google Code - Safariblock" href="http://code.google.com/p/safariblock/" target="_blank">hier</a> fündig. AdBlocker sind im übrigen nicht nur für bekennende Werbehasser interessant, sondern können auch für eine flüssigere Surferfahrung sorgen, falls man an einer langsamen Leitung oder einem älteren Rechner sitzt. Gerade großformatige Flash-Werbung frisst ja gerne mal Bandbreite und/oder Ressourcen.</p>
