Want to make your TV show more social? Start with the script

We usually think of social TV when a show hits the air and viewers start tweeting about it and sharing moments on Facebook. But to leverage social media for TV promotion, networks need to think about how the campaign will fit in to the content itself.

Apple Will Make More Money On Apps Than Music In Three Years (AAPL)


The App Store will overtake the iTunes Music Store in monthly income for Apple in the next three years, estimates Horace Dediu at Asymco after analyzing the data on each.

Below you can see his chart of the estimates. The app sales are growing at much greater rate than music sales.

Another interesting tidbit that came out of the report is that, on average, iOS users download 60 apps for their devices. The number is tracked by how many apps are purchased per iTunes account, and the number is increasingly sharply month to month.

Twitter Working On Self-Service Ads, Which Make Facebook And Google Billions (GOOG)


Mark Zuck and Dick Costolo

Twitter is planning on offering a self-serve ad buying solution for smaller advertisers later this year, the company's president of global revenue told Mashable.

Right now, Twitter sells ads directly to the biggest advertisers, which is fine, but a big part of the revenue of the web's advertising giants, especially Google and Yahoo, comes from automated ad buying.

This allows small businesses and other small advertisers to buy ads on the platform without having to dedicate a big sales force to them. 

But it's not just a smart and obvious way to increase revenue. It shows that Twitter is now relatively confident it has found the ad formats that work for it. Since they've been introduced, Twitter's ad formats have been mostly "experimental": trying to see what produces returns and what advertisers like. It's better to do that when you just work with agencies and clients who know online advertising and are willing to take chances and do experiments with you on your big ad platform. 

But to open to small businesses, you need to have figured out what products work and which ones don't, and have standardized them enough that you can offer them to anyone through an online form. 

One of the many ways in which Twitter is becoming a big, grown-up company.

These Apps Will Make You Think Twice About Using FaceTime On Your iPhone Ever Again (AAPL)


jetsons facetime

Apple's videochat app FaceTime is reminiscient of that famous H.G. Wells-Jetsons kind of future that we were promised as kids. But it's certainly not the only videochat solution out there, and it's hardly the first.

As simple as it may be to use, it has its limitations. Most notably, it can only be used over wifi and it can't connect to Android devices.

There are third party apps out there that solve these problems quite elegantly. Here are our favorites.

ooVoo

Simply put, ooVoo rocks. This app supports video calling over wifi and 3G, and it has no trouble communicating with Android devices. The potential killer feature here is that it also allows for 6-way video chat.

If your friends don't have a supported mobile device, they can communicate with you through their web browser with a webcam.

Price: free





Skype

Skype has permeated the communication world, and a relatively recent update to its iOS app enabled video chat over 3G to anyone else running Skype (desktop users included).

The app also boasts near-CD quality audio.

Price: free





Tango

Tango offers free video calls over 3G and wifi from an iOS device to any other mobile device running the app as well. It's also been continually praised for its ease of use.

Price: free

Using Big Data to Make Solar Smarter

Solar rooftops only work in specific environments: an area with enough sun, a roof with the right tilt, a state or city with strong subsidies. But a company called Geostellar is using big data tools to help its solar installer customers deliver more solar panels to more rooftops in places where it actually makes economic sense. Later this year, the company plans to release an open API — so developers can build applications on top of it — and eventually, the company plans to launch a consumer-facing site.

Comment on Can Apple Make the Cloud Work for Consumers? by Ed

I wouldn't bet against Apple either, but it will be very interesting to see how they get around the rapaciousness of the ATTs and Verisons of this world. It seems to me that the only reason for storing your music in the cloud is the desire to download on demand to portable devices Local storage would be desirable for a computer. So there you have it, download to your I device and run the gauntlet of outrageous data charges or store on a local drive and sync your music at home. Perhaps Apple has come up with a way to circumvent the phone companies, I hope so.
