The end of the Soap Opera continues, Twitter demographics surprise, and Those Birds are Raging and Profitable!It's your must-know geek news!
Media: Proctor And Gamble fairly invented the Soap Opera: and they're pretty much given up and go to Social Media.Now Social Media spawns many real-life soap operas, but I profess to some nostalgia at the continued loss of the genre.
Social Media:The Demographics of Twitter.Some real surprises here.
Technology: Quick estimate: in 2011 mobile traffic will equal internet traffic in 2002
Venture Capitalist putting their money where their meme is in gameification.Thats a course I desire to be as game metaphors are very useful having been time-tested, but finding what works versus what is fair game would take effort I imagine.End result - software interfaces will change . . . but right now people are throwing money at gameification, so you may need to take up on it.
Fan To Pro crush object Asus working on yet more systems.I am curious as to what 'Transformer' is, as I do experience a transformable computer that goes slate or netback smoothly would be a big deal.And being Asus, I would buy it.
A search at the Chrome OS for those that can't wait . . . like us.
Video:Let the doubting of Netflix begin, in this event by an analyst who feels it's overvalued.Netflix also got added to the S&P 500, so that is A) noteworthy, and B) probably going to subject them to more criticism.I can't say for certain how stable Netflix is (they appear to recognize what they're doing), but they're now in people's crosshairs, so I expect critique and concern legitimate or not.
Video Games: Changes in staff on Final Fantasy XIV.It seems the FF titles keep running into roadblocks and changes (if they don't involve cute chibi characters).I think piece of the problem may be not being certain what to do with the brand.
DeNA considering buying European Studio - I'd guess they'll do it.They probably need to try a surround strategy to their rivals . . . er Rival, Zynga.
Grand Turismo sells a ton of copies.Just so you live in typeface you didn't anticipate this - though this is good performance after the delays.
Angry Birds creater Rovio has ambitions for payment platform - along with a lot of other ambitions.This single ambition could stir up payment options (though I also feel a prospect it ends badly as its too specialized and even to their brand), but I'm also concerned in how ONE game may be collected to found a media empire.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: With Rovio's amazing success, what sort of imitators do you expect?
