Normaal begin je met de verkoop als boek af is, wij beginnen met verkoop bij het schrijven

Facebook disclosed they haven’t been able to monetize mobile. 85% of Facebook revenue is from advertising.
Where Blue Ocean Strategy and Social Media Meet
Focus on the Big Picture: BOS suggests that businesses abandon the traditional “strategic planning report” so common in the waters of “red ocean” businesses. Instead, it recommends the creation of a “strategic canvas” where the big picture of a business’ goals is crafted in more broad strokes. Furthermore, the authors caution against focusing solely on “the numbers.” This advice is directly applicable to good social media strategy. When implementing your social media plan, you should be more concerned with creating great content that builds strategic relationships, not worrying about how many followers you have.

That’s right. This isn’t a one size fits all approach which many publishers typically design for. Essentially, this means that a one-to-many content syndication strategy across the social web is not scalable nor is it practical across devices. Desi...

Bronfman: Spotify is a real and growing revenue stream
In what is likely his final interview before leaving Warner Music, Bronfman defended Spotify’s ability to drive more value for artists and labels. “Everywhere we look, Spotify is incrementally positive,” Bronfman said. Later in the discussion he noted that the streaming music startup is “a real and growing revenue stream.”
Dispersion and Entropy In Social Media
I am totally convinced that the world of social media is not consolidating around one "winner takes all" social platform. Instead, the world of social media is fragmenting into dozens of social platforms that are best of breed for a certain kind of social engagement.

Streaming held back
But the picture is actually surprising as the availability of legal streams for 2010 box office winners has dropped in the last 12 months. On their face, one might expect sales of legal online streams to see patterns similar to sales of DVDs, even if they would trail the plastic medium. But what’s surprising here is that it appears studios have decided to pull their movie catalogs back offline.

openOV; vrij van a naar b
Wij van openOV zijn doeners, het is kapitaalvernietiging om geen gebruik te maken van vrij beschikbare broncode bij open omgevingen. Onze programmacode is daarom beschikbaar als open source en wij maken gebruik van bestaande infrastructuren. Wij voorzien dat de exploitatie van een echt open NDOV vooral zal bestaan uit het monitoren van de infrastructuur.

This is despite the fact that GiffGaff won't say how much data that one percent is consuming.
