Mobile Marketing Case Studies and Best Practices: A Roundup - The eMarketer Blog Monday, April 14, 2014 Facebook’s change to its News Feed algorithm has caused uproar among many, as it drastically reduces organic reach on the social site. But while marketers see organic posts as effective, the fact that organic reach has been declining since February 2012 suggests otherwise. Finding new business is a top challenge for small businesses. Friend referrals may help, as small-business owners say they are the best marketing tactic—and a key revenue driver. An increasing number of retailers in the UK are operating across multiple sales channels, with mobile seeing particularly strong growth in this respect.

Best Buy tries to copyright sales prices Deal site BlackFriday.info yesterday removed the Best Buy "Black Friday" sales price list after the big box retailer threatened to deliver a DMCA takedown notice to Black Friday's ISP. In a brief posting, Black Friday said, "While we believe that sale prices are facts and not copyrightable, we do not want to risk having this website shut down due to a DMCA take down notice." In recent years, information on the post-Thanksgiving sales has become a highly prized commodity, with a number of sites featuring copies of major retailers' ads. Consumers looking for the best prices and wanting to streamline their shopping are responsible for the sites' popularity. Deal sites such as BlackFriday and Fat Wallet are a source of irritation to retailers at this time of year, although DMCA takedown notices tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
OurielOhayon Every or nearly every single new service coming out to consumer has some sort of social layer where you need to "follow" people or topics in order to get fresh content updated all the time. That's how the web works today. It's not just about a frame and static content but a content stream of news and information coming your way: Facebook, twitter, pinterest, Flipboard, Pulse,…obviously but also all the new generation of games with social integration. Show me who you follow and i will tell you who you are. There is a major problem though: all the follow mechanisms in place are just dumb pipes with little intelligence. They present you a set a people (longer and longer as our graph grows) and you have to make a decision on who to follow at a moment where you don't even know yet the service
How Geolocation Will Revolutionize the On-Site Service Industry Dave Yarnold is CEO of ServiceMax, a full suite of mobile field service management applications. Follow Dave on Twitter @dyarnold or visit the ServiceMax blog. Geolocation services are popping up for consumers everywhere, from Uber, which sends a car service to your door two times faster than a cab, to Bizzy, an app that shows you where your friends have dined lately and offers their recommendations. But what about the enterprise? Shouldn’t this revolutionary technology be transforming companies and not just consumer habits? Early Look: Microsoft Office Live Workspace We have picked up a trio of screenshots of the forthcoming Office Live Workspace, which we’re just thrilled beyond rational thought to share with you. Pre-registration for the beta version of Office Live Workspace opened at the beginning of October. Microsoft has positioned the service as an online complement to the desktop version of Microsoft Office. The Office productivity suite represents a significant portion of Microsoft’s annual revenue. No one in Redmond would willingly take a sharp blade to the throat of that golden cash cow, but Microsoft had to do something to appeal to people who have embraced software as a service concepts for, among other things, productivity applications. Office Live Workspace represents a compromise.

China expat and traveller community blog Food No CNY is complete without a few plates of jiǎozi, particularly if you're in the North. And while you can certainly just hop down to the supermarket and pick up a package of frozen dumplings, making your own is a whole lot more rewarding. If you're not fortunate enough to have Chinese in-laws to lend a hand, constructing the suckers can be a bit of a challenge.
How HTML5 will kill the native app Over the past two decades, the mobile industry has become increasingly stunted by fragmented protocols, standards, and regional differences. But a hot new technology called HTML5 promises to remedy this by delivering an unprecedented open, democratic and wonderfully fertile mobile web. Evangelists say the HTML5 movement has so much momentum that it could defeat the native app — an application that is designed to run on a single platform — in as little as two years. Sundar Pichai, who leads Google’s HTML5-happy Chrome OS initiative, agrees that the “incredible advantages of the Web will prevail” over the dominant native app model.
CNW Group 76% of Canadians believe government should pass a law to protect consumers' right to access online content of their choice TORONTO, Oct. 1 /CNW/ - Most Canadians are unaware of an emerging threat to their ability to access web-based information and services, according to data released today. A poll conducted by Leger Marketing found that Canadians are generally unaware of the concept of "net neutrality," the principle that Internet service providers should not be allowed to impose restrictions on the web content or applications consumers can access. The concept of prioritizing Internet traffic or "traffic shaping" has been proposed by Internet service providers as a way to fund the upgrade or expansion of their networks. The study, commissioned by eBay Canada in June, found that although just 34 per cent of Canadians are familiar with the term net neutrality, 67 per cent agree with the principle once it is explained.
6 Social Networks that (promise to) Pay For a new social network to gain a piece of the pie from leaders MySpace and Facebook, it has to exhibit something different. Something that would attract potential members. But how else could a social network make itself different when MySpace and Facebook seem to have everything? news Last week, on the same day President Ma Ying-jeou accepted the resignation of a minister who made some drunken lewd remarks at a w?iyá (year-end office party), Ma was joking to the media about blow jobs. Classy . But it was all for a good cause , of course. You see, the Mandarin expression chu?
