Posted by SimonPenson[Estimated read time: 17 minutes] On-page content is certainly not one of the sexier topics in digital marketing. Lost in the flashing lights of "cool digital marketing trends" and things to be seen talking about, it's become the poor relative of many a hyped "game-changer."

This post is designed not only to make ... →

Most people can’t shoot compelling videos, and static photos are boring. That’s why the tech giants are all pushing their own versions of automatically created themed mini-movies based on your media. This month, Apple announced its version called Memories coming to iOS 10, Google Photos already has its Movies Assistant, and today Facebook is rolling out Slideshow to all iOS… Read More... →

Apple’s reveal of sponsored search ads on the App Store was overshadowed by its simultaneous opening up and improvement of its subscription offerings. But for the average developer or publisher, the ads will have a much more immediate effect on their business. Paid ads won’t begin until Apple has completed a period of free testing. In the interim, App Store publishers should be… Read More... →

As the rumor mill continues to report that Apple supposedly is doing away with the headphone socket on its next-generation phones (more than 300,000 people already voiced their opinion), I found myself in a series of situations recently that illustrate exactly why the world isn’t quite ready yet… Battery life, ease of use, and restrictions around where they can be used are among… Read More... →

Apple today announced that it is discontinuing its Thunderbolt Display, the large external display many use to connect to Macbooks or other Macs for extra screen real estate.
