They Work! Facebook Mobile Ads Are Clicked 13X More, Earn 11X More Money Than Its Desktop Ads - along with my very own links overview

Just what has been going on in the world of technology? Which organizations are we looking at?

In our first little bunch, why don't we take a look at the websites discussing Facebook and U.S.:
- They Work! Facebook Mobile Ads Are Clicked 13X More, Earn 11X More Money Than Its Desktop Ads from techcrunch.com
- Facebook May Not Be Struggling With Mobile Monetization After All from www.webpronews.com
- Facebook Acquires Facial-Recognition Site Face.com from www.eweek.com





What else do we have? Well, there's Google and Google Apps:
- Using Google Analytics Dashboards for Better Insights from searchenginewatch.com
- United States Sen. Schumer Asks Google And Apple About Their "Spy Planes" - Afraid They'll Catch Sunbathers from techcrunch.com
- Google+ Partners With Flipboard to Draw Users to Social Network: Analyst from www.eweek.com





Did you notice all the talk about Barack Obama and United States? Here are the most interesting links:
- Obama Bundlers From 2008 Disappear In 2012 Campaign Fundraising - "WASHINGTON -- In politics, as in life, no good deed goes unpunished. Just ask President Barack Obama. Facing a tidal wave super PAC spending from the likes of GOP-backing billionaires Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers, the Democratic president lacks countervailing help from the super pack of well-heeled allies he drew in 2008 -- and rewarded with government jobs abroad. Call them the Bundler-Ambassadors: wealthy individuals, most of them with deep ties to the business community or corporate law, who gave money of their own, and, more importantly, hit up wealthy friends for "bundled" Obama cash. In exchange, though no one exactly called it that, the president nominated many of them for plum diplomatic assignments, in cities from Paris, London and Berlin to Tokyo, Amsterdam and even Bratislava, Slovakia. There is no sign that the ambassadors are eager to come home and bundle again. Indeed, a Huffington Post sampling on background via email revealed that none were planning to return to bundle campaign contributions for the president's reelection. The Huffington Post compared the United States Department of State diplomatic list with information on 2008 contributions and found 28 individuals of ambassadorial rank who had raised a total of more than $14 million for the president" - said www.huffingtonpost.com

Finally we should take a look at Twitter and United Kingdom
- Facebook Dominates Web With More Home Page Integration Than Google+, Twitter Combined - "Of the top 10,000 websites on the Internet, 24.3 percent have official Facebook integration on their home pages" - said searchenginewatch.com
- Nike's Twitter Ad Campaign Banned - technorati.com
- Microsoft Tablet: Company Unveils Surface, Twitter Responds - www.webpronews.com

Adobe Systems Online Ad Report: Search Spending Up 16 Percent, Mobile Traffic Quadrupled - with links of the day

Welcome back! I imagine you've come for the next links roundup. We'll be talking about Adobe Systems The Huffington Post and Google.

To kick it off, let's see who's been discussing Adobe? It was techcrunch.com who wrote an article called Adobe Online Ad Report: Search Spending Up 16 Percent, Mobile Traffic Quadrupled.

What did they point out about Adobe? Well...:
Search may not be the most exciting area of online advertising right now, but it's still "the biggest driver of return on investment", according to a new report from Adobe
and went on to say
The report has the elaborate title, "Adobe Digital Index: Global Digital Advertising Update" and it covers the first quarter of this year. Compared to the same period last year, Adobe says that search spend increased 16 percent in the United States and 3 percent in the United Kingdom. That growth is coming from an increase in clicks, not an increase in the price that advertisers are paying for those clicks - which, for Google, actually fell 5 percent. (The graph above also suggests that search spending fell compared to the previous quarter, but that may just be seasonal variation.)


Next we have a site that's been talking about HuffPost - Pro-Choice Group Trust Women Plans To Aid Moderate Senators in Kansas Republican Primary.

They wrote:
A pro-choice group that worked with an abortion doctor who was gunned down in 2009 will be assisting Republican Kansas state senators in their bid to defeat conservative challengers in the August primary
... interesting ...
Brownback has told HuffPost that he is not involved in the primaries, which has been noted by several of the challengers. Burkhart disagrees, saying she believes Brownback is behind the effort to elect more conservative candidates.

.

Lastly it's Could Google's New gTLDs Be the Custom URL Answer at Google+? from searchenginewatch.com, focussing on Google. The wrote good quality stuff, particularly
Google plans to submit applications for several generic top-level domains (gTLDs) before the April 12th deadline for this round of submissions
and
ICANNpreviously said that 200-300 new TLDs will be approved in this initial round and each one annually, with no more than 1,000 new gTLDs... added to the root zone in a year
