New Media on Ulitzer
Social networking games are moving from the fringe to the front lines of
social media marketing at light speed. Two recent examples are below!
As I have written about for the last few weeks, this is not some fun new
promotional tool that brands might want to consider. This is far-more and, I
believe, will redefine mobile marketing as we know it. These platforms allow
consumer brands, in the context of a controlled campaign management system,
to track the actual traffic driven to individual store locations, in

AMOLED display ($23.50) and memory ($20.40) fr... (more)

Remember me?
Sorry for lack of posts. Happy to report I am very busy on both the pressDOOH
and Preset fronts, and seeing a lot of airports (but dodging storms).
Anyway, there is encouraging news on the Adobe Flash licensing beat - with a
senior Adobe guy promising: Adobe will make an unambiguous statement in the
