Fotonische chips moeten een nieuwe sprong voorwaarts worden als het gaat om de rekenkracht van onze technologie. Nederland wil, o.a. met het Eindhovense bedrijf PhotonDelta, marktleider worden in deze nieuwe sector. Welke technologie profiteert zometeen van de komst van fotonische chips? En waarom investeert Nederland ook publiek geld in bedrijven als PhotonDelta? Dat bespreken we Ewit Roos, CEO van PhotonDelta. Een massaclaim tegen Twitter Miljoenen Nederlanders zijn gedupeerd door een voormalig dochterbedrijf van Twitter. MoPub, zoals dat bedrijf heet, verzamelde via 30.000 -veelal populaire- smartphone apps op illegale wijze grote hoeveelheden data. Dat mag niet, en daarom klaagt Stichting Data Bescherming Nederland Twitter aan, namens miljoenen slachtoffers.  Hoe dat zit vragen we aan Anouk Ruhaak, voorzitter bij Stichting Data Bescherming Nederland. Smarthome heeft eindelijk zijn universele standaard Met de lancering van het Matter-protocol heeft de Smart home-branche eindelijk zijn universele standaard, waar zoveel vraag naar was. Bedrijven als Apple, Google, Amazon en zelfs Ikea werkten samen om één protocol te ontwikkelen. Kan de vlag uit bij klanten en fabrikanten?  Dat bespreken we met Olaf Weijers, smart home-reviewer bij Tweakers.  Meer podcasts over tech?

Een nieuwe stichting legt een massaclaim neer bij Twitter. Miljoenen Nederlanders zijn volgens de Stichting Databescherming Nederland gedupeerd omdat apps als Wordfeud en Buienradar op illegale wijze persoonsgegevens zouden verhandelen. Dat gebeurde via advertentieplatform MoPub, dat tot eind 2021 eigendom was van Twitter. Ook in de Tech Update: Elon Musk speelt met de gedachte om Twitter volledig achter een betaalmuur te laten verdwijnen, meldt Platformer. Ondertussen heeft The Verge een FAQ voor salespersoneel in handen, waarin Twitter beweert dat het aantal gebruikers sinds de overname door Musk nog nooit zo snel groeide. Nintendo heeft het afgelopen kwartaal minder Switch-consoles verkocht dan een jaar geleden en gaat er de komende tijd minder produceren. Door onder meer een tekort aan chips schroeft Nintendo de productie met zo'n tien procent terug. Door softwareverkoop en de zwakke yen zag Nintendo de winst wel stijgen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Surge pricing may soon be something that we see for more than just an Uber ride, but what's the real purpose of companies surging prices? And is it always bad for the consumer?

He is the former Co-founder and CEO of PerfectPrice, and prior to this endeavor, he functioned as Head of Business Development and 5th employee at Drawbridge, brought on just after seed funding from Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital.

He closed both the first 12 advertising clients (e.g., Disney) and first publisher deals including MoPub's first RTB exchange partnership, and helped build a world class business team.

Today, there are about 27 million app developers worldwide, it's a big, diverse and dynamic community of mobile software developers who build apps for iOS and Android. If you ever watched the Apple's keynote presentations at WWDC, you saw some of them talking about apps they pour their heart into. It's remarkable to see the commitment of these people to develop an app that will make a difference in somebody's life. Now, at the same time they develop apps to make a living. What is the state of app monetization today? To answer this question we've invited Linda. Today's Topics Include: The Linda's background spans from being a part of the Yahoo team, moving to MoPub team and ultimately becoming a part of the Twitter team and finally joining Fyber - a Digital Turbine company Fyber if the leading monetization platform helping app businesses grow revenue How app publishers adopting to the Apple's SKAdNetwork The impact of COVID-19 to the app publishers business in 2020 and 2021 What should be the focus of app publishers right now, in the midst of this Holiday season Challenges app publishers are facing right now Android or iOS? iOS What features would Linda miss most?

Fyber website. Quotes from Linda Ouyang: "I grew up in a very entrepreneurial mobile tech-forward household. So the apple didn't fall very far from the tree actually. It's become more and more interconnected but specifically on the publisher side, I think the privacy changes with Apple, while the grilling stuff must be faced together, it's causing some innovation. It's a little bit like Renaissance. I think a lot of what we've seen is coming into fruition this Holiday season." Follow the Business Of Apps podcast Linkedin | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube

Robin Wheeler, the new global commercial head of Twitter's MoPub, lays out her plan for going after the Fortune 1,000. Historically, MoPub has been super strong with the app publisher community, but less so on the demand side. Now, it’s time to get closer to the buyer.

Our guest today is Beth Gilmore, is a marketing consultant and founder at The New Department. Beth has an incredible wealth of experience in the programmatic space from her work as the Head of Commercial Partnerships at MoPub. In today's conversation, Beth shares some fascinating insights about how many levers marketers have to understand and unpack their programmatic performance, if they only dive deep enough to understand what happens under the hood. From understanding what happens even before an ad is shown to being able to influence where in a publisher's inventory an ad is shown, there's so much possibility that this conversation highlights for advertisers - and I'm thrilled to uncover so much goodness in today's interview.Key Highlights:

23andMe layoffs; surveillance capitalism; MoPub realtime data sharing; undermined trust in society & capitalism; Amazon employees speaking out; don't trust the blockchain; facial recognition in London; Byte spammed; Patreon's porn pirate problem; Amazon Prime Video by the people; Daniel Sloss; Elizabeth Wurtzel; Alice in Wonderland & Hitler; feedback.Show notes at https://gog.show/410

Are you like me and new to the world of programmatic advertising? Well today's guest is the Sr. Programmatic Demand Lead at MoPub by Twitter and she shares what is programmatic advertising, emerging ad formats and why native advertising is the one thing that you should be focusing on. Kristy Barger is the Sr. Programmatic Demand Lead at MoPub by Twitter.

Turning your app into a money-making business requires you to delight your audience with ads that engage, not annoy. Working with a one-stop programmatic marketplace takes the heavy-lifting out of finding the best match (at the best price) to achieve high fill-rates for your impressions. It’s a lot like dating, which is why MoPub has cleverly chosen the metaphor to educate audiences about mobile programmatic. Our host Peggy Anne Salz catches up with Jacob Kreimer, Head of Strategic Partnerships West at MoPub (a Twitter company), to talk about the smart—even cheeky—ways MoPub is educating the industry about mobile programmatic and the massive opportunities for publishers to monetize different segments of their inventory with different ad partners. It pays to play the field, so don’t settle for one type of advertiser or one type of demand. Jacob also discusses what to watch for next from MoPub.
