DEFINITION Mental Distance
Mental distance is a measure of the conceptual
similarity between the underlying intention of:
1) a social network conversation
2) an online ad.
Long distance = poor ad alignment.
Short distance = good ad alignment.
Chen, 2002
Lewis, 2003

THESIS Language-Action Perspective
Given this definition of mental distance…
the language-action perspective can give business:
1) access to small, dynamic niche markets
occurring in social networks,
2) a way to create highly aligned online ads
for those markets.
