You might know how much an impression&#039;s worth for your brand. Perhaps you can estimate the value of a click, or social actions such as buzz, likes and shares. But what if you could measure a customer&#039;s level of physical activity? What about posture, sleep habits, or even virility?

There should be no question as to the most influential personality at South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive this year. There&#039;s only one entity that had people lining up for three hours just to take photos with her, hold her, and perhaps rub her sweet little head.

With so much anticipation for South by Southwest (SXSW), how can it possibly deliver on the hype? If you&#039;re obsessed with coming away having annointed the "next big thing" it most certainly won&#039;t, but then you&#039;d be missing the point. It&#039;s fashionable to declare SXSW "over" every year, but I actually think it&#039;s even bi]]></description>

Now that the swarm of 150,000 people who descended on Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) last week has moved on to face some semblance of the real world once again, it&#039;s time to look back at which trends mattered most for marketers.

Twitter has made plenty of  enemies this year, but one just took Twitter to court and won an opening battle. As tempting as it is  to root for the underdog in PeopleBrowsr vs. Twitter, the only crime Twitter may be guilty of  is  false advertising.

What are location-based services?

They are mobile services that       allow targeting based on where that       device is       so that       the consumer can receive localized content or offers.
