I recently made a fuss about a mobile advertising experience I had with CNN Money.
My gripe was about UX but also about the poor quality of content discovery networks.
So, I thought I would experiment in visiting some of the clickbait on these networks. Here we go…
Last week I encountered this ad experience on my iPhone.
Even for a mobile ad, this was bad.
Facebook has been pushing hard to dislodge YouTube as the king of social video in 2014 and so far it’s made excellent headway.
And for the cynics among you – yes, a lot of it has to do with autoplay videos.
For many of us in online news and content discovery, Google Alerts simply aren’t cutting it anymore.
Trapit, which has raised $6.2 million in Series A funding to address the need for content discovery, surfaces content using some of the same artificial intelligence technology involved with Siri on the iPhone, and comes to us as consumer-facing iPad app, or more recently, a B2B publishing suite.
