Google Now learns from your search behavior and shows you cards with information you regularly search for (think game scores of your favorite teams, flight schedules) or that could be relevant to you because of your current location, including weather, nearby restaurants, schedules for the next bus station, how long it’s going to take you to drive home and currency information if it finds you are in a different country.
According to the infographic below, people who own e-book devices say they read more than people who don’t, at a rate of 24 books per year to 15. Education, escape, relaxation and entertainment rank as people’s main motivations to plow through books — proving that, whether electronically or via dead tree, reading remains a popular pastime.
E-readers are also rising in popularity, signaling that it may not be impossible to imagine a world without traditional books sometime in the not-so-distant future.
Before you scoff, consider this: From December 2011 to January 2012, e-reader ownership nearly doubled, from 10 percent to 19 percent, among American adults. And that stunning surge in just one month’s time doesn’t even account for tablets or other mobile electronic devices people use to read books and longform content. Worldwide, meanwhile, e-reader sales rose by nearly 3 million between 2010 and 2011.
A tongue-in-cheek look at a serious disorder affecting SEOptimizers
SmartEnd is an agency that focuses on how brands can use "smart packaging" - connected things as brand media. Absolut Vodka will connect its bottles to the Internet to gather geolocation data and serve relevant information.
Absolut Vodka, which ships somewhere around 100 million bottles a year, is looking at connecting those bottles as one potential way to better serve its customers by leveraging location data, which could provide more tailored and relevant information or services.
The agency being tapped to help Absolut navigate the IoT course is London-based SharpEnd. The agency of things, as it bills itself, currently deals only with companies with European headquarters.
The centers of attention for SharpEnd are smart packaging, which can create new communication channels with consumers, and smart spaces (think beacons on steroids).
“The connected bottle is a holistic channel once it links to Web-based content,” said Worth. “It turns a product into a media asset and the bottle is now interactive.”
On the bottle itself, the method to make it connected could involve any number of technologies, such as image recognition, QR codes or NFC tags.
Keyword Search Advertising and Limited Budgets
Abstract
In keyword search advertising, many advertisers operate on a limited budget. Yet how limited
budgets affect keyword search advertising has not been extensively studied. This paper offers an
analysis of the generalized second-price auction with budget constraints. We find that the budget
constraint may induce advertisers to raise their bids to the highest possible amount for two different
motivations: to accelerate the elimination of the budget-constrained competitor as well as to reduce
their own advertising cost. Thus, in contrast to the current literature, our analysis shows that both
budget-constrained and unconstrained advertisers could bid more than their own valuation. We
further extend the model to consider dynamic bidding and budget-setting decisions.
Keywords: Keyword Search Advertising, Budget Constraint, Generalized Second-Price Auction,
Online Advertising, Competitive Bidding Strategy, Analytical Model.

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of information privacy concerns on consumers' attitude toward and acceptance of mobile location-based advertising (LBA), and the moderating role of the type of mobile LBA, namely push versus pull. Using an online experiment (N = 224), it was found that consumers' attitude toward mobile LBA has a direct positive effect on their intention to accept it, and information privacy concerns have a direct negative effect on acceptance intentions. Moreover and most important, the findings indicate that information privacy concerns influence consumers' attitude only in the case of push, but not pull, LBA. In conclusion, the type of mobile LBA (i.e., push versus pull) is crucial in understanding consumers' attitudes and acceptance of mobile LBA.
