Does anyone have info on what AdKarma is doing? ADkarma's blog is last dated 4/6/15. That is one year and a day since it was last updated ! Atrocious. No jobs open ! Is AdKarma alive?
"In fact RMax (RhythmXchange) hit an "all-time" high (albeit only 2 months' data so far) on 30th March for both mobile and online uniques with in particular over 5m (daily) mobile (web) uniques for the first time." Please post the cite to reach RMax (RhythmXchange) . Thanks.
"4/06/15 - Years of Mobile" is the title of adkarma's most current article ! The "read more >>>" help for the "Years of Mobile" brings up a super ball article that is dated "2/12/15". That is last years Superball article but out of place with "4/06/15 - Years of Mobile" article. Am I reading this wrong or is adkarma's blog the worst I have seen?
Chuck Moran is telling us that the jump in 1R quantcast will continue over March. I R just may become a big player ! "This process will continue over the next month and will culminate in a holistic view of 1R’s supply footprint – as well as distinct segmentation of our supply that aligns with our product offering."
Quantcast January 31 US rank = 16

Napolitano had a long term big job at Bloomberg, a $9 Billion revenue company and has 3 girls somewhere around college age. Napolitano must be very confident in RhythmOne to take the job. Napolitano also must have many many contacts with top people around the world. Seems like a great guy for RhythmOne.
Good end of year review at: http://www.rhythmone.com/blog/2015/12/14/rhythmones-year-in-review Lot's of good things done, lots more to do especially Connected TV advertising. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Furthermore, if he checked RhythmOne's website he would discover that RhythmMax is now rated to be 4x faster than the competition in a race where fastest wins. There it says RhythmMax has "Transaction speeds up to 4X faster than other exchanges". check it out at http://www.rhythmmax.io/marketplace
As you know, RhythmOne has a very extensive installed publisher network, over 6,000 publishers we are told, many of these publishers will have multiple websites to support. We are not told how many websites in total: I guess a conservative number would be at least 20,000. The above also explains the essence of the business model. There is nothing fraudulent about it. Especially since, as you know, we have a unique and rigorous pre-screening capability called RhythmGuard to screen out click farms and bots. (Though I would hope that not too many of these would emanate from the Vatican City). By the way, how much money do you think we make from monetising the impressions queries in the Vatican City during one year? Answer: Not a lot. My calculator cum crystal ball tells me that it’s less than $25 – that’s less than the cost of a meal for two, without the wine. But – if you scale up that $25 dollars by a factor of 12 million (which is that 30 billion daily global impressions queries divided by the 2,500 estimated daily impressions queries from the 25 daily uniques in the Vatican City), that $25 dollars becomes $300 million dollars. As you know, the RhythmMax exchange is still under construction. The remaining integration milestones for this are “on track” to be completed, we are told, by the end of this financial year. When that happens, I expect the monetisation percentage of impressions queries into premium ads to increase significantly as a result. Of course, it’s crystal ball gazing to say by how much – but I’m keeping to my “crystal ball view” that the 2017 EPS (earnings per share) could well equal or exceed the share price we see today as a result of this.
Perhaps eagle is sincere in his views about Blinkx’ business model. After all, he spends more time than I do writing about it, so I presume he must think he’s on to something. So, now let’s try a different approach to eagle. Let’s go off at a tangent. As you know, I don’t attach much faith to the Quantcast numbers as a guide to future performance – for many reasons, not least that they don’t pretend to measure the monetisation of impressions queries. But there are two things I do like about Quantcast. These are: 1. It’s an independent measurement agency; and 2. It has an excellent and comprehensive breakdown of the uniques number for every country in the world – from the smallest (Vatican City) to the largest (United States). Quantcast lets you choose any country in the world in its ‘Search’ box to determine the number of visitors that country had in the last 30 days for the RhythmOne network. (And likewise for AdKarma). Try it. Refer to: https://www.quantcast.com/p-59TntzuqummDw/geo/countries To focus the argument, let’s choose the smallest country in the world – the Vatican City, population 451, including the Pope, 71 resident cardinals, the Swiss Guard, and various nuns and sisters. According to Quantcast, last month RhythmOne had just 25 unique visitors from the Vatican City. Who were they? – We are not told. How many impressions queries (i.e instances of web pages launched) did those 25 visitors generate? We are not told that either – but it’s like asking me how many web pages I launch in a day through my browser. So let’s choose a conservative number, say 100 web pages launched per unique visitor in a day. That’s around 75,000 impressions queries (= monetisation opportunities) from the Vatican City in a month. (As you know, we currently monetise less than one fifth of one per cent of these into premium ads). The question for eagle is this: Is the 25 unique monthly visitors number for the Vatican City – as reported by Quantcast – a fraudulent number? Especially since I consider it likely that no-one living in the Vatican City has ever heard of RhythmOne, nor even visited the RhythmOne website. If eagle answers: ‘Yes, it must be a fraudulent number’ then he is demonstrating the most basic misunderstanding of at least three things; namely, 1. The way in which the RhythmOne business model works; 2. The way in which Quantcast works; 3. The way in which the Vatican works. Because Quantcast is not measuring the number of unique visitors to the RhythmOne website. What Quantcast is measuring is the number of unique visitors to all those websites – over 20,000 - that have been tagged by Quantcast as part of the RhythmOne network. That’s simply how Quantcast works. So the 25 uniques number comes from the Quantcast tag (cookie) that is part of the RhythmOne SDK for all those w
Please, someone, post the webcast computer address. thanks
This new ratings system from Comscore must be music to Blinkx' ears. The interesting thing given the list of pre-verify companies that Comscore have listed and looking at their spiels you can see one major difference between them and Blinkx. RhythmOne is only part of what Blinkx supplies. To use the car analogy that most people can relate to, these companies are "engines" without all the other things that go to make up a car. RhythmOne with Blinkx is an engine with a chassis and all the other things you need for a complete system i.e. a full ecosystem. That does not mean these other products do not have a place as many agencies would like to build their own "cars" around them but if you want a complete environment, which is the fastest way to market with guaranteed delivery and reliability, then you want a top of the range "off the shelf" product and that, I believe is what Blinkx delivers. Only two-and-a-half weeks until the 17th November when we will know if we are "winning".
July, 31, 2013 DDD Group, the 3D solutions company, has expanded its patent license agreement with Samsung Electronics, to allow Samsung to perform 2D to 3D video conversion for content that can be presented on 3D cinema screens. The patent license agreement allows Samsung to perform the conversion for both 3D cinema and 3D consumer devices using the comprehensive claims contained in the international patents covering 2D to 3D conversion that are owned by DDD. Separately, the company has also renewed its license agreement with Samsung Electronics to include DDD’s TriDef(TM) 2D to 3D technologies with Samsung’s 3D video processing chips that are used in Samsung Smart TVs and other Samsung 3D consumer products. The agreement has been extended until the end of 2015, an additional two and a half years, during which time DDD will continue to earn revenue from Samsung’s use of DDD’s automatic 2D to 3D conversion technology in Samsung’s Smart TVs and other 3D products. http://www.ddd.com/proactive-investors-hybridan-small-cap-wrap/2284/
