THE GOOGLE INVESTOR: Android Will Replace Symbian As Leading Global Smartphone Platform This Year (GOOG)
The Google Investor is a daily report from SAI. Sign up here to receive it by email
Stocks are mixed despite a better than anticipated March retail sales report and a drop in initial jobless claims. Shares of GOOG are up strong versus the rest of technology in early trading. Upcoming catalysts include first quarter 2011 financial results released Thursday, April 14 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time; continued Android momentum; regaining ground in China and pushing into other emerging markets; updated software, adoption and media partners for Google TV; and progress in other newer initiatives (+1, location-based services, mapping, gaming, etc.). The stock trades at approximately 14x Enterprise Value / EBIT, inexpensive relative to historical trading levels and the broader Internet group.
Android To Pervade The Low-End Handset Market (Digitimes)
About 20-25 million entry-level Android smartphones at contract-free prices for $150 or less will be sold in the global market in 2011, much more than the 2.5-3 million units sold in 2010, according to Digitimes. Global smartphone sales will hike 54.5% from 2010 to 445 million units in 2011, of which 165 million or 37.1% will be Android models, surpassing Symbian (Nokia) to become the largest smartphone platform.
Gartner Jumps On The Android Bandwagon (Reuters)
Growing demand for smartphones running the Android platform will help the smartphone market grow 58% this year and 35% next year, according to Gartner. Android, a distant second to Nokia's Symbian just last year, will increase its market share to 39% this year while Symbian's share will roughly halve to 19% following Nokia's decision to dump the platform in favor of Microsoft. Windows Phone market share is expected to increase to 20% in 2015.
Google Going The Netflix Route For Streaming Original Content, Goes Down Market (Mashable)
Google plans to create 20 special channels on its YouTube site, and will spend $100 million to create original programming to populate them. Like Netflix announced last month, Google wants to create its own streaming video programs, however, the company will create low-cost programming designed specifically for the web and YouTube, and support the shows with advertising. This is in line with the company's recent acquisition of Next New Networks.
Xoom Is Officially A Flop Compared With The iPad (VentureBeat)
Google's first real answer to the iPad is not exactly blowing the doors off. According to Deutsche Bank, Motorola has only sold 100,000 Xoom tablets so far. The firm arrived at the 100,000 figure by using the Android developer site to see how many people are currently using the Honeycomb OS. To put this figure into perspective, Apple sold 300,000 iPads in the first week. Read more at Business Insider.
Andy Rubin Comes To The Defense Of Android (All Things Digital)
Amid criticisms over Android fragmentation and rumors that the company is clamping down on modifications, the head of the mobile software effort Andy Rubin says that he remains committed to keeping the effort an open source project and has had anti-fragmentation processes in place since Android 1.0. This actually seems a little hard to believe, given how many versions of Android are out there. So whether Google is really making its terms more "onerous" or not, the company probably should seize more control. The platform could really benefit from more standardization. Read more at Business Insider.
Lawmakers Say Google Has A Way To Go In Anti-Piracy Fight (CNet)
For the past year, both Congress has been debating the creation of a law that would allow the government to block websites accused of piracy. Google General Counsel Kent Walker testified before the House committee on Intellectual Property yesterday and why Google was falling short in its anti-piracy efforts. The main message from yesterday was not what Google had done, but what it has left to do.

Twitter Testing Self-Serve Ad Platform
Twitter is testing a self-serve ad platform with a few beta customers, MediaPost reports. One of the beta testers is Clix Marketing Founder David Szetela, who is using it on behalf of a few clients, including author and VC Guy Kawasaki.
The self serve platform includes Twitter's two most popular ad formats: Promoted Tweets which, well, promotes tweets, and Promoted Accounts, which helps these accounts gain more followers. Beta users must commit to three months.
Ads are targeted according to search keywords, as well as "interests", which is interesting. What makes search advertising so effective at converting clicks to commercial action, as opposed to social network advertising, is that it carries intent (if you're searching for a dishwasher or travel destinations, it's likely that you're looking to buy a dishwasher or a trip). Many people speculate that Twitter could pack a similar punch, as the type of people you follow builds an "interest graph" which can be monetized.
If, however, most Twitter advertising is brand advertising, i.e. advertising that doesn't aim to convert you to a purchase right away, self-serve would be less relevant as most buying would be done by big brands through agencies as opposed to small advertisers building their own campaign through online tools.
Going self-serve is an obvious move to scale up Twitter's ad efforts. Self-serve ads were pioneered by Google and are a big part of its tremendous success. When Twitter opened a new business site in December with a contact form, we said this seemed like a first step in building a self-serve platform. We also reported on an analyst report that says Twitter revenue will reach $250 million next year; self serve could also play a role.
In any case, Twitter is experimenting and scaling up its ad program, which it needs to do to justify its huge valuation.

Comment on Is Smart TV Platform Fragmentation a Good Thing? by Ben
Apple has tried working with content owners for years.
Steve Jobs being the biggest shareholder of Disney does help kick start things a little bit, but you always have companies like NBC trying to ruin it for everybody.

Group Deal Platform NimbleCommerce Is Ready For Its Closeup
Given the massive success of Groupon (and the huge number of clones out there), it's no surprise that existing publishers and businesses are keen to take advantage of the craze themselves. Some of them have turned to white-label deal services, which allow these publishers to manage their deals without having to reinvent the wheel. And today a company called NimbleCommerce is making its press debut by announcing that it's got deals with "25 large newspapers; business directories and local media companies".
You'll notice I put that in quotes — NimbleCommerce won't list off many of the companies it's partnered with, but says that 50% of its clients are publicly traded and that it is "five to ten times bigger than Tippr" and other close competitors. Again, they won't give hard stats, but the clients NimbleCommerce can name are solid: OpenTable uses its platform to run deals, as does Valpak and Canada's Yellow Pages.

Cloud Communication Platform Twilio Raises $12M
Twilio, a cloud communications platform, announced it has raised $12 million in a Series B round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. The San Francisco company allows other developers to build on top of its pay-as-you-go telecommunications platform, creating a wide array of text and phone-based applications. The beauty of the software-as-a-service platform is that it does all the back-end work so developers can plug in apps using a common set of APIs. More than 20,000 customers have built communications apps on top of Twilio, including Salesforce, Ebay, and Media Temple and start-ups like GroupMe, which recently launched a group text messaging service.
