- Chris Hale
Google I/O was more Android I/O this yr.
- clive boulton
men dont search
- Tina Chase Gillmor
@Keith - i received a promotion ad on Twitter during the week from your company, however, I don't follow you...But i do follow the likes of Steve and Robert..
- Darren James
I only interact w/mobile ads by accident...except in Facebook...
- J.C. Bouvier
Voice search on Google works great.
- Arnie Klaus
I like funny ads. But not on my mobile https://www.youtube.com/watch...
- clive boulton
do you search on your watch?
- Kevin Marks
I might click on a Sponsored or Pinned tweet....
- J.C. Bouvier
Google Search/Now as a mobile service is rather elegant window which is affected by search on mobile. My most recent trip had some great results.
- Aron Michalski
Darren - there you go

Gotta thank T-Mo for unlimited data while in Europe so that my location helped my search results and stopped my dependance on free wifi points.
- Aron Michalski
@Clive, that cracked me up !!!
- Simon Benvenutto
I wonder how the new generations will feel about advertising interrupting their information flow.
- Alex de Soto
Facebook also understands that ad buyers might want to buy while using mobile devices...which you can now do as a Facebook admin...boosting posts = one click ad buy. I don't see Google doing any of that...
- J.C. Bouvier
I may search on mobile and the ad will appear on the TV.
- Arnie Klaus
try this refreshing orange soda
- Kevin Marks
Drink coke, buy popcorn.
- J.C. Bouvier
ads freak me out
- Chris Hale
Facebook's ads have been alarmingly right on as they skim all my other streams.
- Aron Michalski
contextual ads on a watch or on my phone kinda also freak me out
- Chris Hale
Brands as Mobile Assistants with replenishment notifications
- Moe Glitz
Users will have far lower tolerance for interruption on mobile
- Keith Teare
reminds me of that scene from minority report where tom cruz walks into the gap and recognizes him based on a retina scan.
- Chris Hale
But users will love timely, necessary help
- Keith Teare
Moving away from the topic of advertisement, I have google set as my homepage (on mac, not mobile) and I tend to use Google to look for a website, rather than using my tabs/fav...i find it easier or maybe its just a bad habit....
- Darren James
Don't sell me this shit
- Moe Glitz
Very interesting hearing from danah boyd about how teens fool the Facebook algorithm by posting with brand names to move their posts up in their friends' timelines. Teens are playing around with these algorithms in many other ways too.
- Alex de Soto
Isn't this one element of Apple's Continuity.
- Arnie Klaus
Strangely, I have been curious about the varying characteristics off toilet papers lately...
- J.C. Bouvier
Steve: "Always leave them wanting more..."

- Kevin Marks
Isn't Siri using Bing now or soon?
- Alex de Soto
The market is stupid. Bears no relation to the company. Is short term, while company is supposedly long term
- Francine Hardaway
Wall Street is all about the short-term
- Ankush Narula
IBM is doing Mark Hurd's old tricks, layoffs, quarterly earnings up, rinse and repeat till...
- clive boulton
Clive, many old line companies are doing that, b/c they have different, less flat, less lean management structures
- Francine Hardaway
the VCs are about the long-term
- Ankush Narula
stupid bears, Francine?
- Kevin Marks

- Francine Hardaway
J.C. - that's amazing - but then http://www.cultofmac.com/272570...
- Ankush Narula
My guess is a lot of the Nokia guys are R&D, it would be hard to blend them into MS.
- Simon Benvenutto
How many Nokia Android phones did they actually sell? Seems like more posturing than anything else
- Ankush Narula
Yo can monetize with HoHos and a bottle of rum
- Kevin Marks

- Ian Waring

- Ankush Narula
Fire phone getting TV ads now
- Ian Waring
Focus on Prime - and have kids buying Sandbergs book
- Ian Waring
Once upon a time, Microsoft and Nokia were the Kings of their domains. Then along came Apple and Google and the rest is history
- Moe Glitz
MS, Goog, FB, Apple do strategic R&D at home HQ (does anyone do differently)
- clive boulton
not a big fan of amazon as of late
- Chris Hale
Moe: there's a future after history

- Alex de Soto
Microsoft's future is most probably another Companies past
- Moe Glitz
kevin - you're thinking of feminine hygiene products
- Ankush Narula
i just had a funny thought, you know how amazon allows people to sell used stuff. Wonder if any resellers have slightly used toilet paper. LOL
- Chris Hale
@Ankush someone must be (its culturally hard to distribute strategic R&D)
- clive boulton
Neville Chamberlaine: I have here a piece a paper
- Ian Waring
Frank Carson: And there's more
- Ian Waring
Live News and Sports is all we need. Who needs Media Libraries anymore
- Moe Glitz
moe: the big news in that area is the NFL sunday ticket without a cable/satellite subscription
- Ankush Narula
Netflix and Bit Torrent cuts through Media Libraries
- Moe Glitz
i love flipboards curated news by topic
- Chris Hale
One of my daughters assumed toilet paper made out of recycled paper was made out of recycled used toilet paper! Classic :)

- Ankush Narula
Go Fox yourself
- Moe Glitz
what sound does the fox make?
- Chris Hale
Stay Calm - Rupert won't be around much longer
- Ankush Narula
outside the US Fox has an immense presence for live sports...
- Aron Michalski
Murdoch keeps ticking his global company end up more powerful than local countries.
- clive boulton
Fox was in talks with Vice of all things.
- Alex de Soto
Look at the COmedy Central app - doesn't req a cable sub anymore
- Ankush Narula
Murdoch's a surviver, he'll be around a bit longer!
- Simon Benvenutto
Paul McCartney has just released some of his old albums as iPad Apps
- Moe Glitz
Hodor!
- J.C. Bouvier
Murdochs' next wife will do him in ;)
- clive boulton
Murdoch is 83 - he can be a survivor all he likes
- Ankush Narula
@Steve, someone said HBO was worth $5B - if that was your question...
- J.C. Bouvier
See the reviews of the Hodor keyboard on the play store...

Yo Raps

Yo is the new track
- Moe Glitz
Online coupons regulated by FTC?
- christina sponselli
Yo is the new poke
- Ankush Narula

"Yo Played" good name for show.

Yo is shorthand for OK Google or Hey Siri

Moe don't get Steve started on track
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Beaatles cup
- Tina Chase Gillmor
another interesting thing in tech this week was the announcement about Thread
- Chris Hale
Yo Ho Ho will be good for Xmas Gifts
- Moe Glitz
Facebook only gets 16% of friend statuses to you. Twitter < 1%. Email to 20-65%
- Ian Waring
Its a proposed standard for IOT devices. Seems like a competitor for homekit
- Chris Hale
I recently watched a short movie in a muddy field on my mobile phone and was blown away by it, hi def, small screen but moving content where I was; no TV sized monitor but an adjusted format by the watcher.
- Aron Michalski
I'd forgotten about IFTTT which will push out events on Yo as a channel, Borthwick's blog mentions this, IFTTT goes some way towards being the app unification platform (for signals/triggers/notifications) that Keith often refers to IMO.
- Simon Benvenutto
Yo for criminals driving around looking for houses to burglarize (4sq + FB + maps) wait for it
- clive boulton
Hi guys am I late? darn customers keep getting in the way :)
- Charlie Isaacs
IFTTT is a sleeper. Very useful
- Francine Hardaway
I sold my FB stock this week - and bought more Apple with the proceeds
- Ian Waring
Yahoo should merge with Yo. YoHoo
- Moe Glitz
I love IFTTT - best mashup tool, more channels coming; eliminates a lot of coding
- Charlie Isaacs
It will never be search
- Francine Hardaway
Marissa is a search whiz. Yahoo has a mobile play?
- clive boulton
I think it will be advertising, if she learns how to sell it
- Francine Hardaway
Kevin will be pissed before the end of the show
- Moe Glitz
disclaimer: IFTTT is a salesforce customer :)
- Charlie Isaacs
on Pellegrino and Orange juice?
- Kevin Marks
IFTTT is really useful. Still wish they would have a paid tier though
- Chris Hale
Moe... why. Drink shots?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Mayer has brought about 5 zillion companies for Yahoo and it's still shit
- Moe Glitz
If you manage to get hammered on Pellegrino and OJ I'm well impressed :)
- Simon Benvenutto
stocks and weather was the Yahoo on mobile play
- Kevin Marks
She keeps buying and then burying them
- Ian Waring
I use their News Summary
- Francine Hardaway
Yahoo! is email for a lot of older people in my family (and their home page).
- Alex de Soto
David Pogue
- Arnie Klaus
my wife got so angry at all the Yahoo ads on her email she broke down and bought the no-ad upgrade for $50
- Charlie Isaacs
Older people die, Alex
- Francine Hardaway
zapier is also a great mashup alternative to IFTTT. IFTTT is a little more geared towards devices that are IOT.
- Chris Hale
Yahoo! = Katie Couric's 2nd house in the Hamptons...?
- J.C. Bouvier
Yahoo still has good fantasy sports functionality.
- christina sponselli
Yahoo! also has a lot of silly widgets.
- Alex de Soto

- J.C. Bouvier
Insta toiletpaper

Track is dead. Long Live Track
- Moe Glitz

- Tina Chase Gillmor
Tina, YoPlay
- christina sponselli
still using instapaper + ifttt - don't know why pocket doesn't appeal
- Ankush Narula
MediaREF is also excellent. So's Jason's Fashion newsletter
- Tom Guarriello
about the most useful thing i like about pocket is the ability to permanently save a webpage. It is useful if you bookmarked or clipped an article that maybe gets taken down at some point in the future
- Chris Hale
@Steve, MediaREDEF links also have a pocket button. ;)
- J.C. Bouvier
Tina: "Yo Paid" or "Yo Played."

Men are obsolete, Steve
- Francine Hardaway
Sorry Scoble's more prettier than Alexia
- Moe Glitz
Keith, but to be clear, you're not paying .18c an app install right? That figure is per 'engagement' - and I'm still not sure what exactly that is...
- J.C. Bouvier
We need a [insert adjective here] man to infiltrate G3 one week
- Charlie Isaacs
Pellegrino product placement. ;)
