MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION AUGUST 2012 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION AUGUST 2012 REPORT MMA Launches MXS Study Concludes that Optimal Spend on Mobile Should be 7% of Budget COMMITTED TO ARMING YOU WITH Last week the Mobile Marketing Association unveiled its new initiative, “MXS” which challenges marketers and agencies to look deeper at how they are allocating billions of ad THE INSIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES dollars in their marketing mix in light of the radically changing mobile centric consumer media landscape. MXS—which stands for Mobile’s X% Solution—is believed to be the first YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS. empirically based study that gives guidance to marketers on how they can rebalance their marketing mix to achieve a higher return on their marketing dollars. MXS bypasses the equation used by some that share of time (should) equal share of budget and instead looks at an ROI analysis of mobile based on actual market cost, and current mobile effectiveness impact, as well as U.S. smartphone penetration and phone usage data (reach and frequency). The most important takeaways are as follows: • The study concludes that the optimized level of spend on mobile advertising for U.S. marketers in 2012 should be seven percent, on average, vs. the current budget allocation of less than one percent. Adjustments should be considered based on marketing goal and industry category. • Further, the analysis indicates that over the next 4 years, mobile’s share of the media mix is calculated to increase to at least 10 percent on average based on increased adoption of smartphones alone.

Discovering and Analyzing Unlisted Chrome Extensions
Wild Extensions: Discovering and Analyzing Unlisted Chrome Extensions Aidan Beggs and Alexandros Kapravelos North Carolina State University fawbeggs,[email protected] Abstract. With browsers being a ubiquitous, if not required, method to access the web, they represent a unique and universal threat vec- tor. Browsers can run third-party extensions virtually invisibly in the background after a quick install. In this paper, we explore the abuse of browser extensions that achieve installations via suspicious methods. We scan the web for links to extension installations by performing a web crawling of the Alexa top 10,000 websites with recursive sub-page depth of 4 and leverage other tools to search for artifacts in the source code of webpages. We discover pages that have links to both listed and un- listed extensions, many times pointing to multiple diﬀerent extensions that share the same name. Using this data, we were able to ﬁnd 1,097 unlisted browser extensions ranging from internal directory lookup tools to hidden Google Docs extensions that pose a serious threat to their 127 million users. Keywords: browser extensions · JavaScript · browser security 1 Introduction Although they run largely in the background, extensions can be quite useful to the end user. Performing everything from letting users manage their email, to helping people manage their banking and crypto accounts, to blocking inva- sive ads (one of their most popular uses), extensions can ease the web browsing experience for many users. Upon installation, extensions will request the user for various permissions [9], however, many users have been conditioned to click "accept" without careful analysis of the permissions they are granting [10].

Google Dictionary: a Critical Review
3 Issues and Trends in Learning Technologies Volume 8, Number 1, May 2020 Google Dictionary: A Critical Review Musa Nushi Afshin Moradi Shahid Beheshti University Shahid Beheshti University Abstract In an increasingly digital world, online educational resources, apps, and other technologies can serve as incredibly effective tools to facilitate both teaching and learning. One such online tool is the Google Dictionary. This dictionary, an online service of Google, is probably one of the simplest dictionaries for English learners. The definitions usually use simple words and therefore are easy to understand. In addition to the definitions, examples, pictures, and usage notes, there is a separate pronunciation entry with interesting characteristics. This newly added entry provides users with the pronunciation of a word in two different accents, visemes, slow playback, and an option that lets Google collect feedback about the accuracy and helpfulness of the pronunciation recordings from users. This review paper offers a descriptive account of the entry, along with critical evaluation including its strong points and limitations. The review concludes with some suggestions to improve the educational quality of the pronunciation entry.. Keywords: Google Dictionary, pronunciation, second language, technology Website Details Publisher: Google Product Type: Web-based service Language(s): Multilingual Level: Any Media Format: WebP and WebM Operating Systems: Any Hardware Requirements: Internet Connection Supplementary Software: None Introduction The Internet has revolutionized the way we go about living our lives. There is hardly an area, at least in the Western world, that has not been touched by the Internet revolution (Esterle, Ranck & Schmitt, 2005; Selwyn, 2014). The affordances provided by the Internet are enormous, ranging from checking whether one’s plant needs water to booking a hotel in a resort island off the coast of Montenegro, in the Adriatic Sea.

Understanding Alphabet and Google, 2017
This research note is restricted to the personal use of [email protected]. Understanding Alphabet and Google, 2017 Published: 24 February 2017 ID: G00297707 Analyst(s): Tom Austin, David Mitchell Smith, Yefim V. Natis, Isabelle Durand, Ray Valdes, Bettina Tratz-Ryan, Roberta Cozza, Daniel O'Connell, Lydia Leong, Jeffrey Mann, Andrew Frank, Brian Blau, Chris Silva, Mark Hung, Adam Woodyer, Matthew W. Cain, Steve Riley, Martin Reynolds, Whit Andrews, Alexander Linden, David Yockelson, Joe Mariano Google's size, market differentiation, rapid pace of innovation and ambitions can complicate fully understanding the vendor and its fit to current digital business needs. CIOs and IT leaders can use this report to explore in detail selected topics from the Gartner Vendor Rating. Key Findings ■ Two outcomes are apparent more than a year after the creation of the Alphabet-Google structure: Google is beginning to show increased momentum and has made significant investments in its enterprise offerings (most of its 2016 acquisitions were focused on this); and it is applying more discipline in Alphabet's "Other Bets." ■ Google is flourishing despite challenging external market factors: adverse publicity, competitors, government regulators and law enforcement. ■ Google values data, encourages bold investments in long-term horizons, pivots plans based on results in near real time, and reveres user-oriented engineering excellence. ■ Google is fully committed to 100% cloud-based and web-scale infrastructure, massive scaling, the maximum rate of change, and stream-lined business processes for itself and its customers. Recommendations CIOs and IT leaders managing vendor risk and performance should: ■ Plan for a long-term strategic relationship with Google based on an assumption that "what you see is what you get." Major vendor changes to core culture and fundamental operating principles in response to customer requests usually come slowly, if at all.
