Would the prospect of streaming your personal collection of movie titles anywhere, including your new Amazon Kindle Fire, entice you to purchase more flicks? Movie studios desperately hope so and are, according to sources, seeking to align with Amazon to make that vision a reality. Sony, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures are said to be courting Amazon in the hopes that the Kindle Fire-maker will join the UltraViolet alliance, and allow its customers to upgrade their previously purchased movies to the new UltraViolet streaming format, Bloomberg is reporting. UltraViolet is a DVD and Blue-ray format that lets customers store their purchased movies and TV shows in the cloud for instant streaming and downloading to mobile devices, tablets, internet-connected television sets and Blu-ray players, and video game consoles. Apple is not a member of the UltraViolet group — a huge bummer for the studios — and that leaves Amazon as a final-resort, must-have friend for the studios.

No Boys Allowed: Women Innovate Mobile Accelerator Is Just For Women Today, a new startup accelerator for women, the Women Innovate Mobile (WIM) Accelerator, is opening its doors for applications. The program will start off small, offering two to five companies seed funding of $18,000, plus mentoring, support, and free office space in New York during the course of its three-month program. The company was founded by Veronika Sonsev, the co-founder of inSparq and the non-profit Women in Wireless, Deborah Jackson, founder of JumpThru, and business strategist Kelly Hoey. “Accelerators are dominated by men and Women Innovate Mobile is the first dedicated to cultivating female founders,” said Kelly Hoey, WIM’s Managing Director. “No one disputes the talent and capabilities of female entrepreneurs, yet they remain severely underrepresented among mentor-driven accelerator programs. That’s why we developed an accelerator program just for women-led mobile ventures.” Applications are open now and will close on February 1st.

If Car Companies Were Run Like Tech Companies ... As we plow into 2012, it has become clear that the technology industry is like no other. Its changes come faster. Its marketing hits us more deeply. Its business models would look absurd in any other industry. LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9 — Here at the annual Consumer Electronic Automotive Show, the largest trade show in the world, the carheads have again made their annual pilgrimage to see what new breakthrough vehicles will be finding their way into American garages in the new year. The Times’s technology columnist, David Pogue, keeps you on top of the industry in his free, weekly e-mail newsletter.Sign up | See Sample Axxle, the Cupertino, Calif., automaker, is again notable by its absence. Once the iCar went on sale, however, it rapidly became the fastest-selling new vehicle in history. Andrive has become popular, but there are concerns. But it took longer than expected for RIM to complete these elements; in the meantime, public interest in the Playbug waned, and sales plummeted.

Strategy - Redesigning the Site Redesign RFP: Eight Do's and Don'ts Is a site redesign among your company's New Year's resolutions? Marketers who have delayed much-needed site overhauls during two years of recessionary budgets may be looking to shape up their Web presence in 2012. But like so many other resolutions, site redesigns are much easier to commit to than to actually undertake. This year, resolve to redesign your request for proposal (RFP) process along with your site. Future-proofing your redesign starts with the RFP itself. With that in mind, I offer the following RFP guidelines—first the do's, then the don'ts. What Your RFP Should Ask For 1. A site redesign is the most natural opportunity to address a brand's mobile presence, because mobile's role in the customer journey (i.e., when customers use your mobile site, mobile app, and desktop website) is best uncovered in the user research that accompanies a redesign. 2. 4. Marketers tend to be leery of community features: Who will manage the community? 5. What Your RFP Should Not Ask For 1. 2. 3.

Product Spam Is Out Of Control And Must Be Stopped We are living in a new age of austerity. Environmentalism is no longer just a crunchy cause, but also a corporate mandate. Simple is good. So why has product spam spun out of control? Spam Attack! As exhibit A, check out Hewlett Packard's new computers released yesterday. Great, you may think: A machine to suit nearly everyone's needs, and everyone's pockets. And it's not just laptops. What The Spec? RIM just revealed its new BlackBerry Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 machines. Even Samsung, which is keeping things fairly consistent with its Galaxy lineup of phones and tablets (and is embroiled in a legal battle with Apple, which accuses it of cloning everything about the design right down to the boxes and promo materials), feels the need to sell a 10-inch Galaxy Tab alongside a 7-inch unit and a 9-inch unit. Smartphones are a particularly interesting case to look at, especially if you at the work of companies like iSuppli. The Shotgun Effect Waste not... ...Want not The Future Is Unwritten

Women 2.0: For Women Starting Technology Companies, Brilliance Is Mandatory By Carla Rover (Writer, The Advertising Technology Review) There are two sides to the post-feminist world for women creating startup technology companies. Here's the good part: most investors, at least publicly, acknowledge the need for a more diverse field of leadership in the startup community. Here's the bad part: women may have to do a little extra homework to get over the industry's age-old tradition of choosing leaders based on their educational or demographic similarities to past entrepreneurial success stories. It doesn't mean that women entrepreneurs necessarily have to work harder but we have to be smarter, in presentation and in business model, than the landscape we're trying to make an impact on. Redraw the Circle Everyone with a great idea for a startup believes that it's outside the proverbial box. It isn't enough to do what no one else has attempted -- you have to do it extremely well, with unimpeachable originality. Reverse the Trend Now, review your own business model.

7 marketing buzzwords you need to know When iMedia asked me to write a piece predicting the top digital marketing buzzwords of 2012, I thought, "Sure, that's right in my wheelhouse." I don't claim to be a jargon rockstar, but at the end of the day, if you need to take your tech speak to the next level, I can help you skate to where the puck is going to be. But rather than trying to boil the ocean, I'm going to keep this thing at 30,000 feet and focus on the low-hanging fruit. If you're not grinding your teeth after that opener, you did better than I did when I wrote it. While I'm as much of a shameless slangster as the next digital marketer, I suffer the double whammy of being painfully aware of it, which creates lots of cringe-worthy moments for me. Last year, for instance, I made a New Year's resolution to stop using the word "robust," because it makes me throw up in my mouth a little. New resolution: Don't talk about resolutions.

The end of an era: Internet Explorer drops below 50% of Web usage A couple of interesting things happened in the world of Web browser usage during October. The more significant one is that Internet Explorer's share of global browser usage dropped below 50 percent for the first time in more than a decade. Less significant, but also notable, is that Chrome for the first time overtook Firefox here at Ars, making it the technologist's browser of choice. Internet Explorer still retains a majority of the desktop browser market share, at 52.63 percent, a substantial 1.76 point drop from September. However, desktop browsing makes up only about 94 percent of Web traffic; the rest comes from phones and tablets, both markets in which Internet Explorer is all but unrepresented. Where has that market share gone? In spite of Android sales now outstripping iOS sales, iOS users are far more abundant on the Web. The trend graph says it all: Firefox's share is flat, with Chrome driving all Internet Explorer's losses. Safari's long-term dominance in mobile is clear.

The Evolution of Animated GIFs GIFs have become a bit of an enigma — they are one of the oldest image formats used on the Web, yet if you ask anyone familiar with the old format, they'd likely not associate it with a short clip of a cat in a Godzilla suit knocking over a tower. Throughout their 25 years of existence, GIFs have served a variety of purposes, from practicality to purely entertainment. How did such a vast, eclectic medium come to be? The answer is in the newest episode of PBS's web series Off Book, "Animated GIFs: The Birth of a Medium." As technology advanced, using GIFs became an outdated, less fashionable format. "People started to realize that you can use GIFs for tons of different things," says Davison. Sites such as Reddit, Tumblr, WordPress and even Twitter are all, to some extent, content-curating sites that have created what Davison calls "post-modern GIFs."
