by Chris Matty, CEO of Versium Both marketing and statistics are age-old industries with a myriad of scholarly works and entire century-old industries using these disciplines as their foundations. Think old school. Casinos and the profitability derived from predictive stats are probably the best example of this marriage, yet this bond expands across real estate, banking, [...]
by Olga Spaic The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently updated its guidelines for digital advertising to account for social media and mobile devices – .com Disclosures: How to Make Effective Disclosures in Digital Advertising.

By Larry Sivitz We at Seattle24X7 have a decidedly Northwest way of thinking about Facebook’s Graph Search that is both complimentary and, well, a bit hypercritical. First, you can’t help but admire Facebook’s ambition. They have taken what began as a simple college student directory at Harvard and created the “Frankenweenie monster” of all Web portals. [...]
by John S. Rizzo & Michael Santoro Imagine if Amazon were to start sending you business leads regularly and even began paying you to allow them to do so. Far-fetched? The opportunity is close at hand: Read on! The fact is that “Amazon embraces original reading material of all kinds and you can publish your [...]
by Corey Christiansen Repeat customers make up the majority of sales for many businesses, sometimes as much as 80%, yet repeat customers tend to be overlooked when it comes to social media advertising. Not only are repeat customers cheaper to serve than new customers, advertising to them is also cheaper and more effective. So how can [...]
In the same week that driverless cars became street legal in the state of California, a week that saw Governor Jerry Brown travel from Sacramento to Mountain View and pay a visit to the Googleplex to sign SB 1298, a bill that created “a legal framework and safety standards for autonomous vehicles on state roads and [...]
NY Times reporter (and budding futurist), Quentin Hardy, demonstrates a flair for predictions in his reporting on Scalable Data Services. Consider his coverage of Amazon Web Services: Amazon’s“creative destruction of both traditional book publishing and retailing may be footnotes to the company’s larger and more secretive goal: giving anyone on the planet access to an almost [...]
by Michael “Luni” Libes Creating a new company is an incredibly difficult endeavor. It takes perseverance, stamina, and stubbornness, to push through the tens of thousands of decisions, and the repeated bouts of pushback, negativity and angst. Despite the difficulty, many thousands of people each year begin their efforts and launch multiple thousands of new [...]
Facing a withering attack from Vanity Fair magazine that called into question the competency and vision of Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Ballmer, Microsoft has fired back on the criticism of Kurt Eichenworld’s VF story, “Microsoft Lost Decade,” in fine academic, “forensic debate” form.

Seattle’s Lively Captures the Live Concert Experience for Fans
Attending a live concert is an amazing experience. Seattle-based Lively (www.getlive.ly) is making it one you’ll never forget. Launched this week, Lively is where bands and fans come together to make the concert experience unforgettable. Through Lively’s technology, live music performances are automatically captured at venues of all sizes and are made immediately available to concert-goers via the Lively app on both iOS and Android platforms.
“The Lively concept came about in response to the overwhelming number of fans we observed at concerts who were attempting to use their phones to capture the experience and memory of a live show and share it with their friends,” said Dean Graziano, founder and CEO of Lively. ”Each live show is such a unique performance and an individual experience for each fan; we just saw the need for a better way to capture the experience. We take care of everything for the concert-goer, so they can just relax and enjoy the show. The feedback from the fans, artist, and music community has been amazing! Lively has introduced a new way to deliver a high quality experience for the fans and help drive new incremental revenue and exposure for the bands.”
Here’s how it works: Concert-goers simply download the free Lively app which allows them to purchase the performance they just attended, immediately after the concert for $4.99 for audio or $9.99 for both audio and video. To Lively enable the bands, they simply leverage Lively’s Audio Manager where Lively provides the software applications and technology required for any artist to capture and sell quality audio and video of their shows.

“Fans and those of us in the live music industry have been waiting for a solution like Lively for quite some time,” said Alex Kochan, vice president, AEG Live Pacific NW. ”Live shows are a unique and special experience, Lively captures the essence of that experience and gives the fans a way to take that specific show home with them. How cool is that? Show up, enjoy the show, no need to try and record it on your iPhone, Lively does it better. There are hundreds of live shows I now wish I had a recording of. Lively is a win-win for everyone – both bands and their fans.”
The Lonely Forest show held May 4th at The Crocodile Café in Seattle represented the first time Lively had officially promoted and sold audio and video content packages. The sold out show of 500 concert-goers, included an addressable smartphone audience of 350. Of those with an Android or iOS device, 228 downloaded the free Lively App resulting in 33 in-app content packages purchased or a nearly 15 percent conversion rate. [24x7]
