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:

  • The January Smartphone Story: Android Slips, Apple Gains, Feature Phones Fade
    The US smartphone story has been pretty consistent for well over a year: Android is now on more than 50 percent of US smartphones, followed by iOS. All others are losing share.

I’d say both, and it comes down to the live TV versus DVR personalities of each service. Should Facebook Show Everything? The issue of Facebook deciding what to show people […]
  • When Subscribers Stop Opening Emails
    As you continue to send marketing emails over time, your list continues to grow, and your engagement metrics continue to drop. Over time, the number of long-time subscribers on your list increases. These subscribers have a higher chance of becoming uninterested in your email messages, which they express by failing to open or click. This […]
  • Report: Filterable, Content Specific Feeds Coming To The Facebook News Feed Tomorrow
    In a press event tomorrow, Facebook will be announcing big changes to the news feed … again. According to TechCrunch, the changes will include filter-able content that will allow users to view specific content on their feed. Filterable options will exist on the top of the page and will include sorting the feed by music […]
  • Twitter Likes Promoted Tweet Results, Pushes Brand Surveys Out of Beta
    Today, Twitter released some initial findings of the Nielsen Brand Effect for Twitter’s survey program that launched last fall to help advertisers measure the impact of their Twitter campaigns. The program is graduating from beta, and brand surveys will be “widely available” to advertisers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. The findings […]
