Because the product is grounded in full-funnel analytics, Simply Measured gives social teams better intelligence to reach the right people, content marketers insight to create more relevant materials and digital agencies opportunities to win new business and foster client loyalty.

Sprout Social is a truly amazing service. So for them to announce this week that they’ve acquired Simply Measured to increase the value of their social analytics couldn’t be a better early Christmas present. It’s also amazing to see that the market is expected to grow to $9.54 billion by 2022.

Amazon Prime Video Apple TV App Delay

By News

Amazon and Apple are beginning to run out of time if they still intend to release a Prime Video app for the Apple TV in 2017 as previously promised. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced in June that the streaming app would be available on the company’s set-top box by the end of the year, giving Apple TV owners a direct path to watching TV shows and movies available from the popular service.

“Amazon is coming to the TV app and all Apple TVs later this year with Amazon Prime Video,” Cook said at Apple’s WWDC keynote, before rattling off a string of original Amazon shows including Mozart in the Jungle, Man in the High Castle, and Transparent.

You have to wonder what’s taking so long if Time Cook was confident enough to announce the “partnership” so long ago.

Rylo is a game-changing 360-degree camera from the makers of Hyperlapse

By News

Just like the $299 Insta360 One or the $799 GoPro Fusion , Rylo is a 360-degree camera that’s not really about filming 360-degree photos and videos. Rylo, which costs $499 and goes on sale today, is a dual-lens camera that lets you do creative things with the full 360-degree sphere of imagery, like transforming it into a regular, flat video that you can reframe as much as you want.

I have a Ricoh Theta S and absolutely love it. It’s really awesome to see editing ability like this in cheaper 360° cameras, though.
