Welcome to the Next Phase of Social Media Analytics, Wal-Mart Style

Kosmix is the developer of Tweetbeat Firsthand, a plug-in that scans the Internet for references to prominent people or organizations that have Twitter accounts and then provides readers of those pages with their latest tweets. The company is being acquired by Wal-Mart but, surprisingly to some social media tech aficionados, Tweetbeat Firsthand appears to be almost an afterthought - at least in terms of a social marketing application for the company. Rather, Wal-mart is acqu  [...]

3D's everwhere: in a newspaper, games, on the desktop

3D technology - now close to becoming mainstream with the movie industry - is slowing making its way to other, less obvious vehicles, as three recent announcements show. One is by the London newspaper The Sun, which is planning to publish a 3D edition with 3D-color ads and editorial a week before the start of the World's Cup.

Jobs: Why Flash Is Not, and Never Will Be, Coming to Apple’s Mobile Devices

It’s official (at least as official as anything ever is): there is definitely no Flash coming to iPod, iPhone and iPad devices. The decision is not primarily business-driven, but is rather based on technology issues, Apple’s Steve Jobs says in a critical letter about why Flash is not appropriate for mobile. The mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards - all areas where Flash falls short, Jobs   [...]

"You can click on the price to see a list of advertisers who have provided pricing information for that hotel, indicate  [...]

Is Apple Killing Geo-targeted Ads?

Apple has posted an update to its Core Location services policy, which allows iPhone app developers to access the iPhone's GPS, cell radio, and Wi-Fi systems to determine the current location of the handset. The change in language is worrisome to developers that are building apps that rely on geo-location. Essentially it is warning them they can employ the technology only if it improves the app - and not just for the sole purpose of being able to better target promotions. (  [...]

Marketing Will Drive Content in AOL's Rebrand

Marketing-driven content will figure prominently in AOL's plans to re-establish itself as a premier online channel after Time Warner spins it off next month. The company's chief executive, Tim Armstrong, said that content is the one area on the web that hasn't seen its full potential. He therefore plans to significantly increase the amount of content AOL produces. The company currently employs 3,000 journalists, and that number is growing,   [...]
