ADOTAS – I downloaded the finally updated Facebook iPhone app and was pleasantly surprised at the improved functionality.

ADOTAS – I hate the Facebook app for the iPhone, or at least I hate my copy of it. It’s glitchy as hell, slow as (molasses) and a pain in the ass to navigate. When I need some Facebook action on-the-go, I’ve taken to using the mobile website. I occasionally have used [...] more...

ADOTAS – Apple cutting the rates on iAds isn’t really news (Apple halved the $1 million floor back in February), but it was interesting to hear that Apple is offering a minimum spend of $300,000 to agencies that sign up for multiple campaigns.
