Microsoft's Xbox LIVE Beats iPad In Video Viewing, And Has Ad Platform

It seems that the xBox gaming console is the most popular non-computer device to watch streaming video, edging out the Apple iPad by 28.2% to 27.1%.

Users Want Ease of Decision More Than Engagement

Surprise! Online buyers don’t necessarily want to “engage” with a favorite brand. And they will switch favorites in a hurry to the brand that makes the buying decision easier. That according to research and advisory services firm Corporate Executive Board (CEB). CEB has found that consumers feel overwhelmed with information and usually want want less of it (including marketing mes  [...]

"Organic Growth" Is A Valuable Marketing Strategy, Just Not Enough By Itself

Just what is an “organic” strategy? By some definitions, it is an inbound marketing strategy, centered around word of mouth and through engagement. But MarketingTech founder Douglas Karr does not believe it is enough. Karr is also the president and CEO of DK New Media, and as he described, at least one client has invested marketing dollars in just the one strategy—organic growth. Karr likened an † [...]

Is Age More A Factor Than Gender In Social Media Habits?

Facebook alone enjoys broad adoption across age groups and genders, reports Netpop research. As MarketingProfs described the findings, “Other social media sites do not have such ubiquitous appeal." Using women as an example, Facebook's penetration is about 90% among socially-networked adult Americans, and about 92% for networked women aged 18-34; and 35+. But YouTube is far mo  [...]

Sunset for Company Blogs? Perhaps, But Blogs Still In Demand for Content

It is difficult to believe that anything worth saying can be said in 140 characters or less. A USA Today story observes that a number of U.S. companies, Bank of America included, are abandoning the company blog, in favor of the “nimbler tools requiring less time and resources, such as Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter.” An interesting turn of events: As of 2008, blogging was seen as the  [...]

Why is Facebook's Growth Stagnating?

The guessing games have begun over the news that Facebook's growth stagnated in June - with privacy fears, market saturation and the dwindling popularity of social games fingered as the culprits. After growing by 7.8 million new active U.S. users in May, Facebook added only 320,800 new users last month. Total number of active U.S. users now stands at 125,000,000, Facebook claims. Saturation?

Consumers Follow Facebook Referrals - Except When They Don't

Not only are social fans more likely to buy and recommend brands, but their friends are also likely to follow suit. So says new research from Morpace finds that more than two-thirds of Facebook users would take a Facebook friend’s referral of a product or service seriously enough to consider actually purchasing it. The degree of this finding, though, is impacted by the Facebook user’s racial and ethnic background, the study also found,   [...]

SocNets Don't Fare Well in Online Video Promotion

The manner in which people decide which show or video clip to watch on either TV or the internet is very similar - with verbal word of mouth (in-person conversations or phone calls) scoring well above social media as a regularly used source, and TV ads and search engines also playing major roles, according to a research report from Knowledge Networks. The report, "How People Use Video Navigation," explores how advancing technology and increasing viewer control are changing expectations about  [...]

Black Friday Survival Guide for Online Shoppers

Cyber Monday is often cast as the online version of Black Friday. Increasingly, though, the same rock-bottom bargains found in the stores on the day after Thanksgiving are also making their way online - on Black Friday. While online shoppers don’t have to worry about the stress of navigating packed malls and sometimes aggressive shopping mobs, Black Friday is no ordinary online shopping day, and consumers should plan accordingly as they digest their Thanksgiving Day meal.

SMBs Marketing Online: Yes or No?

Recent news coverage suggests that a growing number of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are flocking to sites such as Facebook and MySpace to market their products and services.  But how profitable they find these networks - and the actual number of firms actually embracing social media - is still up for discussion.   Unfortunately, two recent studies on SMB adoption of social media marketing do little to clear up this confusion. A recent online survey by Internet2Go a  [...]

ABC: Streaming Vid Viewers Can Swallow More Ads than We Give 'Em

Defying current conventions surrounding advertising on professional streaming video, ABC.com is promoting research that shows online viewers will tolerate popular shows -- like Grey's Anatomy -- with ads from multiple sponsors. At present, TV-to-web shows streamed on sites like ABC.com, Hulu.com, CBS.com or NBC.com are supported by one sponsor, whose ads appear in :15 or :30 breaks throughout the episode. The ads cannot be skipped. Logic follows that if the breaks are short, there is little i  [...]

Twitter, Facebook Fizzle Acquisition Talks

Facebook and Twitter have shuttered "several weeks of serious talks" in which Facebook tried buying the microblogging service for $500 million worth of its own stock. The news was broken by Kara Swisher of All Things Digital. Rumors of Facebook's interest in Twitter first surfaced at the Web 2.0 Summit several weeks ago. While the idea was dismissed by speculators at the time  [...]

Spammers Reap Plenty on 0.00001% Response Rate

By effectively "hacking" an existing spam network, researchers unearthed the "economics" of being an email spammer, reports the BBC. Here's the secret: high volume and a virally-expanding network, which means even the tiniest response rate can produce millions of dollars in profit per year. Computer scientists at the University of California, Berkeley and San Diego conducted a month-long study of the Storm Network, a spam oper  [...]
