Smartphone sales overtook PC sales in the fourth quarter of 2010
Google Maps usage is 40% mobileLocation and contextual discoveryGoogle expects searches from mobile to exceed searches from PCs in 2013 – though that might happen sooner.Location-based services, including new releases of Maps for mobile, check-ins, deals and augmented reality, are evolving into quintessentially Google products. The world of "contextual discovery" – organising information, reviews and deals around a given location – is the local play on Google's longest-standing ambition.
(Late last year, Nicaragua refused to withdraw troops from a disputed parcel of land along its border with Costa Rica after Google Maps wrongly labelled it Nicaraguan territory.)

Brand journalism is an editorial approach to brand building that is transparent and engages the audience. It is a non-fiction approach, that requires thinking like publishers rather than marketers or agencies. Telling a story instead of pushing a message.It is changing the way companies and agencies approach public relations, communications, marketing and advertising.The use of dynamic online newsrooms for brand journalism escaped panel discussion, and umbrage at the use of the word “journalism” struck a nerve with many communication professionals, former journalists and journalists alike.
The Refresh Project accomplished everything a social media program is expected to: Over 80 million votes were registered; almost 3.5 million "likes" on the Pepsi Facebook page; almost 60,000 Twitter followers. The only thing it failed to do was sell Pepsi.The results are now in. It has been a disaster.Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Pepsi-Cola and Diet Pepsi had each lost about 5% of their market share in the past year. If my calculations are correct, for the Pepsi-Cola brand alone this represents a loss of over $350 million. For both brands, the loss is probably something in the neighborhood of 400 million to half-a-billion dollars.For the first time ever Pepsi-Cola has dropped from its traditional position as the number two soft drink in America to number three (behind Diet Coke.)In 2010, Pepsi's market share erosion accelerated by 8 times compared to the previous year.
