Content Is Not King

May 20th, 2011

 ClickZ

I am not looking to be provocative but I am sick to death of “Content is King” accepted as fact. I beg to differ; I believe that the Audience is King. So much so, that people will bring their content to your audience for a share of the money your audience is worth.

When we buy ads on a particular type of content, we do so to find an audience we have decided (through research or less scientific means) we wish to target. Content is a means to an end, helping us find audiences to market to.

Although social media has certainly made this relationship between content and audience clearer, on the Internet this has long been the case. We have had webmail and other “applications” on the web virtually forever. They are not content, but they have audiences and people have paid to advertise on them since the beginning of web marketing. Read more

Smartphone Market Grows 79.7% Year Over Year in First Quarter of 2011, According to IDC

May 5th, 2011

Press Releases

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. May 5, 2011 – The worldwide smartphone market grew 79.7% year over year in the first quarter of 2011 (1Q11), driven by a combination of vendors releasing highly anticipated models, widespread availability of older smartphones at lower prices, and sustained end-user demand. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, smartphone vendors shipped a total of 99.6 million units in 1Q11, nearly double from the 55.4 million units in the first quarter of 2010.

“Conditions in the smartphone market are creating a perfect storm for sustained smartphone growth,” says Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC’s Mobile Phone Technology and Trends team. “First, vendors are increasingly emphasizing smartphones as the key to their own growth. Second, selection has proliferated from mostly high-end devices to include more mid-range and entry-level offerings. Third, pricing has become increasingly competitive, with even high-end devices available at low price points. Finally, users continue to seek greater utility from their mobile phone beyond voice, and smartphones have been the ideal solution. Altogether, these add up to continued smartphone growth throughout the year.”

Market for Media Tablet and eReader Semiconductors Explodes in 2010 and Will Only Keep Growing, According to IDC

April 5th, 2011

Semiconductors empower Media Tablets and eReaders as content consumption truly goes mobile, providing OEMs and consumers with intelligence, storage, connectivity, and software

Press Release, 4/5/111

SAN MATEO, Calif., April 5, 2011 – Worldwide revenues for Media Tablet and eReader semiconductors grew over 2,000% to $3.3 billion in 2010 as semiconductor suppliers enabled original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to bring new products to market less than 8 months after the iPad launched, according to the latest consumer semiconductor study from International Data Corporation (IDC). With the arrival of Android Honeycomb, dual core processors, and increased bandwidth, IDC expects Media Tablet and eReader semiconductor revenues to grow by 120% year over year in 2011.

“The opportunity for semiconductors in Media Tablets and eReaders has exploded and semiconductor suppliers are scrambling to bring to market semiconductor and software platforms to enable these products,” said Michael J. Palma, research manager for Consumer Semiconductor research at IDC. “Beyond semiconductors, these suppliers are also providing OEMs with much of the system software as well as support for access into app stores, which is helping to dramatically shorten product design cycles.”
