the only good part of The Weather Channel was their actual forecasting/data science division which they sold off to IBM so they could stuff it into Watson because they're desperate for that division to save them now that mainframes aren't a cash cow

what is their cash cow nowadays

For anyone curious about marketing and advertising, check out CBC's "Under the influence", a radio show looking at current trends and phenomenons in the biz. Really good, well made & easy to listen to. I've been binge-listening to it the past couple days, liking it so far.

Facebook Tests Letting Marketers Scour Posts and Comments

Facebook is experimenting with letting brands study people's posts and comments on the network in an effort to better inform their marketing.

The beta test, an extension of Facebook's Audience Insights API marketing tech platform, isn't expected to be widely available until next year, according to people familiar with the offering who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss something Facebook hasn't announced yet. Early ad partners, which include top agencies and media companies, are searching Facebook's vast history of public posts to see what topics, themes, brands and products are being discussed. Users' identities are withheld.

Facebook Is Looking for Employees With National Security Clearances

Facebook Inc. is looking to hire people who have national security clearances, a move the company thinks is necessary to prevent foreign powers from manipulating future elections through its social network, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Workers with such clearance can access information classified by the U.S. government. Facebook plans to use these people -- and their ability to receive government information about potential threats -- to search more proactively for questionable social media campaigns ahead of elections, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the information is sensitive. A Facebook spokesman declined to comment.

youtube's most watched ads for 2017

http://adage.com/article/digital/youtube-reveals-watched-ads-2017/311544/

not that I watched them

quote:

Most of you will skip this introductory text and scroll straight through to the videos, but YouTube's annual list of most watched videos, which has just been released, has some noteworthy trends: ads were longer, brands that took a stand got more views, and the most watched spot hails from India, not the U.S.

This year's most-watched ads were more than twice as long as last year's, and seven out of 10 feature themes of inclusion, diversity or empowerment compared with two in 2016, the company says.

This year's top ad on the Google-owned streaming giant was created by Chelli India. Going for the heartstrings, it features a Samsung employee who crosses a variety of obstacles to repair a TV for a group of children just in time for their favorite show. There's a bit of a plot twist toward the end, and if you haven't seen it, check it out�some 150 million people already have.
