Android manufacturers should love Apple — because Apple drives their demand. I’ve been fascinated by the success of Android based phones, their amazing growth curve, and the ability of the press machine to create hype around Android as the solution for all things mobile. Pretty impressive. Then I listen to people talk about Android. And am surprised that most of the time I don’t hear Android love.

At my previous company my success was measured by number of leads. If I hit the right number, I was in the clear. If the total lead count was high, I was awesome. If I was short of my lead goal, I had some explaining to do. Makes sense, right? More leads equals more won deals. Management could understand these metrics. It was easy for the VP of Sales to see my results via a dashboard in the CRM system.

At this point, most “inside baseball” followers of the revenue performance management space have probably seen Eloqua’s announcement late last week that they are terminating their relationship with The Pedowitz Group (TPG). Eloqua’s stated rationale is that they are an “IP company”, and that, as such, they can only partner effectively if it is on an exclusive basis.

Some interesting discussion at the OTA today focused on how opt-in is changing. One fascinating change is that the “places” where opt-in happens have greatly expanded. It is no longer the case that people are always sitting at their computers when they opt-in. With the proliferation of mobile, opt-in is now everywhere. A good example is a recent US Airways billboard campaign that gives a phone number to text a message containing your email address to.

Following up on David Daniels’ discussion on what preferences to know about your subscribers, Chip House spoke on when marketers can capture preferences. Of course, a natural place to start capturing preferences is at the time of opt-in.

A brand relationship is a trust relationship. But somehow, we seem to forget this truth in the rush to do anything that technology allows – social media or otherwise. For example, I ran into this intriguing article in the NYTimes about the creepiness of some of the newest web ads – the ones that follow you. Note that the article isn’t talking about nefarious advertising scams from the kings of spam.
