TubeMogul Announces Real-Time Buying of Video Ads Across Millions of Connected TVs
TubeMogul Announces Real-Time Buying of Video Ads Across Millions of Connected TVs
Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2011
TubeMogul, a real-time media buying platform for video advertising, went live with new partnerships today that enable clients to seamlessly buy targeted video ads on connected TV applications. These applications are similar to smartphone applications, but are accessed via Internet-connected TVs or other Internet-enabled set-top devices.
Internet-connected TVs, long associated with niche “cable cutters,” are rapidly entering the mainstream with growth in online streaming via set-top boxes, gaming consoles and newer TVs that have built-in application marketplaces. Based on current trends, market research firm DisplaySearch predicts that 123 million Internet-connected TV units will be shipped annually worldwide by 2014. In addition, over 60% of connected households in the U.S. will use a TV app at least once a week, according to research from In-Stat.
“The audience has clearly stated that it wants to watch its favorite shows on whatever screen is handy – everything from the smallest smart phones to the biggest smart TVs. Advertisers that can figure out how to easily reach customers across all of those platforms have a huge advantage,” said Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3 and new media pioneer. “TubeMogul’s new service provides that easy and targeted access, with publishers still in control, into this gold-mine of audience opportunity.”
By partnering with top publishers, developers and exchanges in the space, including AdRise and others, TubeMogul offers real-time buying of 15 and 30-second video ads across hundreds of top television applications. Content publishers available via TubeMogul’s platform include traditional broadcasters and online media companies like Howcast and Revision3. These applications are available on Internet TV’s from LG, Samsung and others as well as set-top devices and gaming consoles such as Boxee, Google TV, Sony PlayStation, Roku, Tivo and Nintendo Wii. The viewing experience is similar to a web-based pre-roll ad, with ads appearing before or during content. As always, marketers are in total control over context, hand-selecting which applications to advertise on.
“Global targeting and measurement across many screens means more possibilities for branding than were ever before possible,” says Rick Bashkoff, VP, Partnerships & Network Development at Howcast, which will be among the advertisers participating. “It will be exciting to see not only what top brands and their agencies do with that data and but also how it benefits premium content development for distribution across all channels.”
The results deliver the branding power of television with digital advertising’s unique ability to customize, target and optimize – all managed via TubeMogul’s easy-to-use interface. By buying from a single platform, brand marketers and trading desks can not only set frequency targets across multiple screens, but also target and buy only certain viewers across devices by using third-party data or their own data. This creates seemingly endless possibilities, such as targeting viewers in the market for a truck and then customizing the ad creative based on the device. TubeMogul’s measurement comes built-in, so marketers can quantify impact and optimize in real-time by ad placement and publisher.
“Everyone talks about moving TV dollars online, but what is really happening is the experiences are merging and cable companies are slowly losing their grip on content distribution,” said Brett Wilson, CEO of TubeMogul. “With these integrations, TubeMogul is giving advertisers an easy way to target across all devices in a context where publishers are still in control.”
About TubeMogul
TubeMogul is the only video marketing company built for branding. As a demand side platform for video, TubeMogul integrates real-time media buying, ad serving, targeting optimization and brand measurement into its PlayTime platform. Over half of the Fortune 500 use TubeMogul to simplify the delivery of video ads in any format, optimize the impact of their brand message and maximize the effect of every dollar they spend.
Founded in 2006, TubeMogul is based in Emeryville, CA with offices in New York, London, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto and Sydney.

Forbes Announces its Best Selling Cars of 2011 List, and Chevy Silverado Makes the Grade at No. 2
Forbes Announces its Best Selling Cars of 2011 List, and Chevy Silverado Makes the Grade at No. 2
Lumberton, NJ (PRWEB) November 11, 2011
The Chevy Silverado pickup has made the 2011 list of Forbes’ Best Selling Cars, and Lucas Chevy of Lumberton, NJ is pleased with the accolades this fine example of American craftsmanship is receiving. It ranked right up there in the Top 5 as the # 2 best selling vehicle next to the perennial best seller, the Ford pickup. This is quite a feat, considering that Ford’s line of pickups has been the # 1 best selling pickup for 34 straight years. And now with Chevy breathing hard down their back, the battle of the big pickups is on. Lucas Chevy welcomes the challenge, and are encouraging all automotive shoppers in the market for a new Chevy truck in Lumberton or a used Chevy truck in Lumberton to make their way post haste to the Lucas Chevy dealership located in Lumberton, NJ so they can see for themselves what all the hub-hub is about.
This isn’t the only vehicle in Chevrolet’s 2011 lineup to make the grade. The Chevy Cruz is in the Top 10, and there are other Chevy models that were included in the overall list. But the folks at Lucas Chevy aren’t surprised. They want all prospective vehicle shoppers to come into the dealership and see for themselves the fine selection of new and used vehicles currently in stock. Anyone looking to purchase a new Chevy in Lumberton or a used Chevy in Lumberton is highly encouraged to make the trip into the dealership so that one of the knowledgeable and friendly sales staff might show them the vast selection of high-quality vehicles in stock on the lot and in their showroom. This is an all-inclusive dealership with certified pre-owned vehicles on hand for anyone interested in buying a used car in Lumberton. Their large inventory of new and used vehicles can also be viewed at their online showroom by anyone with access to a computer, saving time and money while going through the often times tedious process of elimination that so many car buyers dread. The prices are clearly marked for all to see, and buyers have the assurance that all used vehicles have met rigorous standards in order to be eligible for inclusion on the Lucas Chevy lot for resale. And they have many makes and models on hand. They are not limited to selling just Chevys on the lot.
Once a prospective buyer has narrowed down the playing field to a vehicle or vehicles of interest, all that’s left is the fun part: the test drive, often times the best part of the car buyer’s experience. And let’s face it, test driving a vehicle is fun. Almost as much fun as bringing it home to keep. This is why the Lucas Chevy staff wants folks to come in and take a spin in one of the many vehicles they have to offer, because they know that once a prospective buyer gets behind the wheel of one of their cars the deal is done. After driving it and experiencing for themselves the superior handling, comfort, style, and great ride, few can resist. And there is no such thing as buyer’s remorse at Lucas Chevy. If a customer is not completely happy with the object of their desire, then the sales team will continue to help them locate just the right vehicle until they find just the right fit. It’s as simple as that. Customer satisfaction is the highest priority at Lucas Chevy. If you’re not happy, they’re not happy, and they will continue to try until they get it right. No one walks away a loser at Lucas Chevy in Lumberton. They are part of the prestigious Lucas Auto Group that has been serving the people of the great state of New Jersey for over 65 years and are eager to show customers just how they’ve made it so long in such a competitive industry. This is an independent, family-owned business with a stellar reputation for fairness and honesty that strives for customer satisfaction and is a Grade A member of the Better Business Bureau.

Big Data Just Got Smaller: ai-one Announces New Approach to Find Information
Big Data Just Got Smaller: ai-one Announces New Approach to Find Information
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2011
Artificial intelligence vendor ai-one inc. will unveil a new approach to graphically represent knowledge at the SuperData Summit in San Diego on Wednesday. The discovery, named ai-Fingerprint, is a significant breakthrough because it allows computers to understand the meaning of language much like a person. Unlike other technologies, ai-Fingerprints compresses knowledge in way that can work on any kind of device, in any language and shows how clusters of information relate to each other. This enables almost any developer to use off-the-shelf and open-source tools to build systems like Apple’s SIRI and IBM Watson.
Ondrej Florian, ai-one’s VP of Core Technology invented ai-Fingerprints as a way to find information by comparing the differences, similarities and intersections of information on multiple websites. The approach is dynamic so that the ai-Fingerprint transforms as the source information changes. For example, the shape for a Twitter feed adapts with the conversation. This enables someone to see new information evolve and immediately understand its significance.
“The big idea is that we use artificial intelligence to identify clusters and show how each cluster relates to another,” said Florian. “Our approach enables computers to compare ai-Fingerprints across many documents to find hidden patterns and interesting relationships.”
The ai-Fingerprint is the collection of all the keywords and their associations identified by ai-one’s Topic-Mapper tool. Each keyword and its associations is a coordinate – much like what you would find on a map. The combination of these keywords and associations forms a graph that encapsulates the entire meaning of the document.
The real-world applications are impressive. “It solves a lot of so-called Big Data problems because the system learns by itself,” said Olin Hyde who worked with Florian on the project. “ai-Fingerprints work with existing computer languages and standards. So it only took us about a week to create a generic tool, called BrainBrowser, to find relationships in complex texts – such as summarizing news articles, searching for a job, or identifying new uses for a drug.”
To build BrainBrowser, the team fed ai-Fingerprint results from Topic-Mapper into a natural language processing tool, OpenNLP, so that the computer could understand the rules of grammar then tag parts of speech, chunk phrases and classify words into categories (also called named-entity recognition). The ai-Fingerprint is continuously updated by Topic-Mapper so that the computer can understand how information changes over time – as it does in a human conversation.
Next, the team built a little tool in Java that converted the output into a continuous data feed using an open-standard format called XGMML. This format shares the knowledge of a document as a network of words, sentences and relationships.
Finally, they visualized the result with an open-source bioinformatics tool, called Cytoscape, to show the differences, similarities and identify anomalous information among documents. The result is a graphic representation of knowledge that can show clusters, extract summaries and compare many documents at the same time.
The approach is easy for others to replicate with other technologies. “We used Topic-Mapper with Java, OpenNLP and Cytoscape,” said Florian, “But you could easily do this with Python, MATLAB and NLTK. Heck, you could throw a voice recognition tool on it, like Dragon or Nuance, and you can build an intelligent agent just like SIRI.”
ai-Fingerprint works in any language because Topic-Mapper looks only at byte-patterns. “The approach can give false positives if you don’t teach it the rules of language” warned Florian, “but it is very accurate once it learns the grammar from an outside source of information – such as a natural language processing system or an external database.”
ai-one’s engineering team sees ai-Fingerprints as a way to make it easier, faster and less expensive for their partners to develop intelligent systems. The team is now testing it for applications in advertising, financial analysis, medical research and search engine optimization (SEO).
“Our mission is to make powerful AI available to all developers. This is a big step in that direction,” said ai-one’s chief operating officer Tom Marsh. “We are eager to find academic and consulting partners who can build upon what we started.”
“BrainBrowser is just a minimally viable product (MVP) to prove the concept,” added Hyde. “The sky is the limit for those that want to build commercial applications. Just take the MVP code and customize to your needs.”
A demo of the system can be seen on http://www.ai-one.com and the semsys YouTube channel. ai-one intends to provide the source code for ai-Fingerprint as part of its Topic-Mapper software development kit.

To help business owners choose the right service to fill their organization needs, ChooseWhat.com announces the launch of a new marketing materials review section, Printing-Services.ChooseWhat.com. The new website focuses on both established and emerging market brands and compares them all to the industry’s standards of service.
The staff of ChooseWhat Labs focuses the review content of Printing-Services.ChooseWhat.com on four types of marketing materials: paper marketing materials, promotional materials, stationery, and signs and banners.
