Google Maps for Mobile Hits 100 Million Users

Filed under: Award Winners,Business — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 7:30 pm

Considering it comes as a default app on many phones (including ever increasingly popular Android devices ), today’s milestone for Google Maps for Mobile might not be too surprising, but is still impressive: 100 million monthly users. In a blog post , Vic Gundotra, Google’s Vice President of Engineering, writes of the evolution of the product over the past few years, which has become immensely more valuable with the rise of mobile apps and GPS-enabled smartphones. Gundotra notes other recent additions like Places Pages , Google Latitude and navigation features . As we’ve noted, Maps is an increasingly important part of Google’s strategy for attracting local businesses and competing with the likes of Yelp . To that end, Gundotra writes that, “with this latest Android version, we’re happy to see that you’re now searching for places almost three times as often, doubling how many Place Pages are seen a day,” indicating the company is having some success in its efforts. At 100 million monthly users, Maps for Mobile is certainly in the upper echelon of most-widely used mobile apps; for comparison’s sake, Facebook says they currently have 150 million active users.

    Check in to TV Shows, Movies and More with GetGlue for Android

    Filed under: All,Award Winners,Business — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 7:00 pm

    Entertainment checkin service GetGlue is announcing the release of its Android application, a lightweight mobile site and a bevy of new network partnerships. The new app and service bonuses are designed to further increase engagement and help the company expand its reach to all mobile audiences. The new GetGlue for Andriod application mirrors the functionality of the iPhone app so users can check in to entertainment such as television shows, books, music and movies to earn points and stickers for their behaviors. The app also includes navigation to allow users to click to view the stream of activity and checkins from friends, rate entertainment, view their stickers and customize their profiles. GetGlue is also currently working on producing a BlackBerry app, but in the meantime it has launched a mobile website specifically designed for phones that don’t yet have checkin functionality. Anyone can visit the bare-bones GetGlue.com/mobile site on their mobile device to check in to shows, view activity streams and post messages. On the business side of things, GetGlue is revealing a myriad of new partnerships with web and television networks to include Revision3, HBO and Showtime. Additional partners include Barnes & Noble, Thrillist, FEARNet and TV Squad. New partners bring new stickers to the table, which means that viewers who check in to partner-sponsored shows have the opportunity to redeem special digital and physical stickers for their behaviors. Today’s GetGlue updates prove that AdaptiveBlue, the company behind the service, is focused on iterating the application experience to make it more compelling than startup competition from Philo, Miso and Clicker , as well as Comcast’s Tunerfish and CBS’s TV.com Relay . When it comes to the competition, GetGlue believes they trump the rest in terms of audience size and app functionality. “We have an order of magnitude more activity than the other guys,” says CEO Alex Iskold. Iskold points to the service’s five million unique ratings and checkins for the month of June as proof, and says that they’re continuing to see strong growth, especially around shows such as True Blood and Entourage that offer viewers exclusive stickers.
