Should Snapchat Should Buy A Mapping Company?

I think if Snapchat bought a mapping company it would boost its stock price and long term product vision? SNAP stock price is down 20% since the IPO and I think the product is not user friendly enough.

Social media companies like Facebook and Twitter still have done a poor job of using maps to help their users communicate.  Snap has a real opportunity to do something different in the mapping space that is still fairly underserved in social media.  Google+ could have used maps in their product as well and they blew this opportunity.  There are so many small mapping companies that could help them build an amazing product.

Google Finally Allows Fair Auction for Header Bidding Ad Networks


Google Removes Its 'Last-Look' Auction Advantage. The "last-look" advantage Google’s ad server gave to Google's ad exchange so bothered publishers and exchanges that it gave rise to header bidding. As of this week, that advantage is no more!

Previously, AdX would wait for all those other exchanges to submit their bids, and then give itself a chance to outbid the winner. So if Google’s exchange had two bids of $1 and $5, it would be able to beat a $4 bid from an outside exchange. Under the new auction rules, it would submit a bid of $1 (the second price) and lose the auction.

Here's how the programmatic auction will work: All EBDA exchange participants – including Index Exchange, Rubicon Project, PubMatic, Sovrn, Smaato and Gamut – submit their final bids. The DoubleClick AdExchange (AdX) also submits its final bid. And the best price wins.   Read more.


What is the Best Header Bidding Solution?


We get emails daily from ad networks or people who say they are an ad network offering solutions to raise CPMs.  As a small publisher, it is very difficult to understand what ad networks actually offer a competitive service to Google Ad Sense.
