Here’s our daily recap of what happened in online marketing today, as reported on MarTech and other places across the Web.

From Marketing Land:

  • Boston Manhunt Pushes CNN, Police Scanner Apps Into iTunes Top Ten
    As law enforcement officials continue their manhunt for one fugitive that’s suspected to have been involved in the Boston Marathon bombing this week, consumers looking for the latest news and information have pushed several news and scanner-type apps into the iOS top apps charts. As of about 11:30 am PT, CNN’s app has taken over […]

  • Facebook Mobile Gets Major Upgrades Including Mobile Open Graph, Better Logins & “Facebook Technology Partners”
    Today at Mobile DevCon (Facebook’s Mobile Developer Conference) some major announcements were unleashed that will change the way that apps interact with Facebook. Of course, Facebook integration within mobile apps is more important than it ever has been. According to a statement released from Facebook, over 81% of top 100 grossing iOS apps and 70% of top 100 […]
  • YouTube Beats Viacom In Copyright Suit (Again); Viacom To Appeal (Again)
    To borrow a famous quote from Yogi Berra: It’s like deja vu all over again. YouTube beat Viacom again today in the long-running copyright battle the two have waged, and Viacom is again saying that it plans to appeal the ruling. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news and has posted the court’s decision, too. In […]
  • Microsoft Posts $20.49B Quarterly Revs: Online Ads Worth $784M, Rev Per Search Up
    Earlier today, Microsoft reported $20.49 billion in fiscal quarterly revenue (Q3 13). That figure was just shy of analysts’ consensus estimates of $20.5 billion; however, earnings-per-share beat estimates. Despite the “miss,” revenues were up across the board, even in the Windows division though PC sales are in decline. (At the time of this report, the earnings […]
