  • As “Cortana” Approaches, Remembering Microsoft’s Other Digital Assistant: Ms. Dewey

    Using social media currency to get stuff — or discounts on stuff — isn’t a new idea. There was Pay With a Tweet in the summer of 2010. Facebook Like gates — “like our page for an exclusive offer” — were the hot ticket several years ago. And right now you can sync your American […]

Predictably, the contacts making media-buying decisions within these companies span a broad range of age and experience levels. While […]

  • Twitter Moves Beyond The Tweet, Shares First “Impressions” Metrics For Oscars
    As the race for second screen dominance continues, Twitter is changing how it reports its own TV-related reach.
