Adotas.com | 12 hours 32 minutes ago
ADOTAS - Call it the expletive heard ’round the social mediascape: at the Virtual Goods Summit three weeks ago, now-former Offerpal CEO Anu Shukla infamously called concerns over unethical practices in the industry (raised by TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington) three types of excrement.

Greystripe seeks to mend broken app ad system
Adotas.com | 13 hours 34 minutes ago
ADOTAS - iPhone app advertising economics are giving app developers the short end of the stick, claims mobile brand-advertising network Greystripe. But instead of griping (or taking advantage), the network has come up with a dollar-menu, opt-in solution. iPhone app developers can advertise their wares on mobile ad networks on a CPC basis, paying anywhere from $0.25 to $0.40 for a click, which takes the clicker to the app store landing page on the iPhone.
