Ek Villain Promoted Villaintines Day Through User Generated Content

2014-07-29T00:47:00.000-07:00

One thing India loves more than its hero’s is its villains. From the stand alone icons like Praan, Ranjit and AmrishPuri to the more recent outings of main stream actors like Rishi Kapoor and Sonu Sood in negative roles. Everybody loves to hate a villain. And why shouldn’t they? They are badass. They get the best dialogues and a lot of screen time.

Bollywood today realizes the importance of its anti-heroes and uses them to the fullest. At the end of the day it is the star cast that makes the news. The star cast is a huge selling point for movies, based on which audiences create an impression about the movie.

One of the movies banking on its unusual star cast to make noise for itself is Ek Villain, which is an action romance film produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and directed by Mohit Suri. After the success of Aashiqui 2, audiences were waiting for the next blockbuster from Mohit Suri.

Objective

Facebook Adds Device-Level Targeting to Mobile App Ads

2014-03-30T22:39:00.000-07:00

Facebook is sharpening the precision of the targeting options available for its mobile application ads, allowing developers to target specific devices, rather than simply operating systems and versions.

The social network said in a post on its developer blog that device-level targeting should be available “in the next few days,” with Software Engineer Jun Li detailing the new options:

App developers have seen a lot of success with Facebook’s mobile app ads, largely because of Facebook’s precise targeting abilities for mobile app ads. In order to get high-quality installs or engagement within an app, it is very important to reach the right people with the most relevant message. As a result, we are enhancing our mobile targeting for developers. Available in the next few days, you will be able to reach people using specific mobile devices, such as a Samsung Galaxy S5, iPhone 5s or HTC One. For example, you can deliver ads to people specifically using a Google Nexus 10 with a minimum OS version of 3.0, who are on Wi-Fi. Previously, you could only target iOS or Android, minimum OS version and Wi-Fi-only users.

Li also summarized the benefits of device-level targeting:

Greater return on investment: You will be able to reach the most relevant users and optimize your bids by bidding separately per device.
App Insights at the device level: You can identify which devices are working best for your app with App Insights and target those devices. For example, one travel company determined that a significant amount of its mobile revenue is coming from the iPhone 5s, and it can now target engagement ads at people with iPhone 5s devices specifically.
Eliminate wasted spend: You can reach devices optimal for your app and filter out devices that are no longer compatible. This reduces development time, as you only need to build to devices best suited for your app.

And Li reminded developers about Facebook’s custom audiences and lookalike audiences targeting options:

In addition to using device-level targeting, you can reach the most relevant people by creating custom audiences consisting of your mobile app users. For example, if you were a developer with multiple apps, you could cross-promote your portfolio of apps to the people you know that love your apps. In addition, you could also create a separate lookalike audience based on the attributes of your existing users to reach a larger set of people.

With custom audiences, you can also reach people who already use your app to increase engagement and conversions. For example, a travel app can reach its existing users with relevant flight deals in an ad with a call to action to “book now” for a flight.

Another benefit of custom audiences is the ability to easily reach your “most active” or “highest-value users.” For example, a top commerce app was able to identify the top 25 percent of people who contribute to 56 percent of its app’s value. As a result, the app was able to deliver specific ads to this audience, prompting them to make purchases and drive revenue.

This combination of mobile device targeting, custom audiences and lookalikes gives you the power to acquire high-quality users and increase engagement among your existing users.

Finally, Li offered the following basic tips for running mobile app ads on Facebook:

Don’t go too narrow with your audience: If there is no clear reason to have a different campaign for people on different devices, then bundle the groups. We recommend having an estimated audience size of at least 500,000 users for each ad.
Customize your ad to resonate with your audience: For example, use images of an iPad when reaching people on an iPad, or mention the mobile device or app store in your text.
Optimize your bid for each campaign: Create different ads with optimized bids for each device or groups of devices as competition may vary by device. By doing so, you will be able to reach the most people at the most effective price.
Layer on complimentary targeting features: Use custom audiences and lookalikes to reach a large and relevant set of people.

Twitter is Sexy now!

2013-12-08T22:27:00.000-08:00

Yes, Like Facebook, twitter too has changed it's colors and rolled out the new twitter look. It is really cool but what i am afraid of is the way twitter is going ahead with its expansion.

They are doing the same mistake what Orkut did when they redesigned the new UI and features. I was very active on Orkut as well as on Facebook, i was expecting some majoj new changes from this giant but it disappointed me a lot by developing itself into Facebook. It was hard to differentiate whether it's an Orkut or the replica of Facebook.

twitter has introduced few new button in it's new Avatar- Home, @Connect and #Discover.

Now, if you see the Brand handles on Twitter, you can see the same design and the features what our beloved Facebook is supposed to do with the Brand pages.

As of now, only few tweepals could experienced the new Twitter look but as per the official blog by Twitter.com, they will roll out the new Twitter to all it's users in the coming weeks.

As per official twitter blog on new Twitter:

"We’ll be rolling out the redesigned Twitter over the next few weeks. You can see it immediately on the just-updated versions of mobile.twitter.com, Twitter for iPhone, and Twitter for Android. You can get early access on your computer by downloading and logging into Twitter for iPhone or Twitter for Android. We’re working on updates for other apps, such as Twitter for iPad, and will share news as they become available."

Here, is the video to see the new Twitter:

Slap on Sibbal's Face

2012-12-06T01:42:00.000-08:00

In reply to the lame request by our telecom minister, FB has slapped him so hard. Here is what Facebook has to say:

"We want Facebook to be a place where people can discuss things freely, while respecting the rights and feelings of others, which is why we have already have policies and on-site features in place that enable people to report abusive content. We will remove any content that violates our terms, which are designed to keep material that is hateful, threatening, incites violence or contains nudity off the service. We recognise the government's interest in minimising the amount of abusive content that is available online and will continue to engage with the Indian authorities as they debate this important issue"

Twitter caught it Right!

2012-12-05T23:33:00.000-08:00

Ever since Mr. Kapil Sibbal, India’s acting telecommunications minister reportedly met the top officials of Yahoo, Facebook & Microsoft and asked them to screen the content from India before it gets published.
Social networking world reacted so strongly to reply back to this dumbass act.
This whole drama is to keep a cap on the thought process of Junta over various social networking channels.

Congress has seen the incumbency factor in our tweets, updates and want to reduce it before election since Social networks have already fucked some bad governance in Egypt & Israel. So, just want to save its ass and to keep their ego high, this govt. is behaving so stupidly and acting like morons.

Tweepals have given a kind reply to our so called telecommunications minister and he is now trending as #IdiotKapilSibal .

Google Doodle Celebrates Physicist Niels Bohr's 127th Birthday

2012-10-07T22:32:00.000-07:00

Google Doodle celebrates the 127th birthday of Niels Bohr, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the structure of atoms.

The Google Doodle shows off the atomic model that Bohr came up with in 1913. Bohr was the first to incorporate quantum physics into our understanding of atoms by putting forth the notion that electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom.

Bohr was born in Copenhagen in 1885 and went on to win the Nobel Prize for his work in 1922. After World War II broke out, Bohr fled Denmark and eventually ended up in the United States where he and his son worked on the Manhattan Project, which led to the development of the atomic bomb. While he may be associated with the bomb, the Nobel Prize committee points out in their biography of him online that Bohr devoted much of his later years to the "peaceful application of atomic physics and to political problems arising from the development of atomic weapons."

Bohr is now widely viewed as one of the leading physicists of the 20th century.
