“The decision to roll out ads in mobile stream first also underscores just how quickly the mobile ad market is growing. U.S. mobile advertising will be a $7.29 billion industry in 2013, according to reported issued by eMarketer this month, an upward revision of $100 million from December.

For the sake of comparison, Twitter didn’t roll out mobile ads for its native apps until 2012, two years after it introduced advertising. Facebook likewise announced its first mobile ads only in February 2012.”

Apple files patent for phone with wrap-around display | Engadget

The patent involves building a device from an open-ended transparent body (of glass, for example) that becomes a full wrap-around display when a flexible AMOLED screen is unfurled within it. It doesn’t imagine all that real-estate will necessarily be used at once, though, and includes details of a “detection mechanism,” such as a camera and facial recognition software, which would determine how much of the screen you can see, so that power is only sent to the parts that are in view.

Apple Insider notes that the patent was first filed for in 2011.

“

‘We’re not bringing [brands] a template or format to complete,’ [says Lee Brown, head of sales at Tumblr]. ‘We’re giving them a canvas. That takes a lot of time and a lot of thought.’

Mr. Brown said that although such advertising is nontraditional, Tumblr has been able to sell promoted posts to companies including Target Corp., Adidas, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. and Christian Dior. Tumblr is trying to persuade customers to use its platform as a starting point to create messages that can then be distributed to other social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

‘Marketers have become accustomed to buying scale as opposed to earning it,’ Mr. Brown said. ‘We’re not really selling ads, we’re promoting their content.’

The Napster Documentary - coming soon...

Downloaded, a VH1 Rock Doc that will be premiering at the South By Southwest Film Festival, also provides an amazing amount of insight into how they got ahead of the curve — by coding their fingers off. A seminal moment, previewed exclusively [below], came when they were able to scale Napster up so that everyone could use it. “It was all about making small, incremental wins with the code and with the technology,” Ali Aydar, Napster’s one-time senior director of technology, says in the clip. Once they did that they reached 20 million users in almost no time.
