Another Trailer Site? Sure: Metacafe Launches a Trailer Park.

How do you survive in online video if you don’t have YouTube’s scale or Hulu’s content? Find a specialty.

That has been Metacafe’s strategy for some time now. Rather than try to offer a smaller version of YouTube, the video site has increasingly been trying to focus on a few key categories. Today, it’s launching Metacafe Movies, which doesn’t promise to show actual movies, but trailers and related clips.

Aren’t there plenty of trailer sites? Sure. But Metacafe promises that its will be deeper and better organized than the competition; CEO Erick Hachenburg imagines something closer to a video-focused IMDB.

Of course, IMDB should be the video-focused IMDB. But for whatever reason–perhaps because Amazon (AMZN), which owns the site, has other priorities–the Web’s dominant movie resource has little in the way of clips. Maybe that will change if Metacafe has success.

Following Google’s (GOOG) acquisition of YouTube in 2006, Metacafe came close to a deal with Yahoo (YHOO), but never got it done. Interesting to imagine what would have happened had Jerry Yang and company pushed hard into video a few years ago.

App Watch: Searching Without Words

At some point, scientists think, you’ll be able to point a lens at almost any object and get information about what you’re seeing. Imagine seeing a shirt you like and learning quickly who makes it, where it’s sold and how much it costs. Or seeing a building and learning its history and whether you can rent space in it.

Google (GOOG) is among the companies working on this technology–known as augmented reality–and its Google Goggles application for Android phones provides a very early look at some of the possibilities. The app, which is free, allows users to take pictures of things like paintings and landmarks and automatically conduct a search based on the image.

In a test, the app was able to identify brands, two-dimensional artwork and things like buildings from Google Street View. Google Goggles has a big “wow” factor, but it’s still a long way from a sci-fi style world with data at your fingertips.

Google: Obama Advisor Chats Through the Back Door

One of President Obama’s top technology advisors, deputy CTO Andrew McLaughlin, a former head of public policy at Google (GOOG), exchanged emails with the search giant regarding government business, the Washington Post reports this morning, citing internal White House emails and a statement by an Office of Science and Technology Policy spokesperson.

McLaughlin wouldn’t comment to the Post and the spokesperson said his email exchanges with Google had no effect on U.S. policy, but a review of email released yesterday by the White House showed McLaughlin discussed with Googlers how to combat digital piracy, organize relief efforts for Haiti, and promote “Net Neutrality,” which Google strongly favors but which is opposed by other corners of the tech world, such as broadband providers.

In particular, Post writer Todd Shields highlights one email exchange McLaughlin had with Google veep Vint Cerf regarding net neutrality:

Android vs. the iPhone — the Battle Heats Up

Phones with Google’s Android operating system are outselling Apple’s iPhone, according to surprising new data from market-research firm NPD Group.

The new Droid Incredible smart phone by HTC.

The firm, which gets its data from monthly online surveys, says Android had 28% of smart-phone mobile-browser market sales and shipments in the first quarter of 2010, ahead of Apple, which it reports had 21%. RIM’s BlackBerry system still leads, with 36%, according to the group.

It’s the first data point showing Android ahead of the iPhone and hasn’t yet been supported by other numbers.

Data from comScore for the three months ending in February showed Apple with about 25% of the market and Google with just 9%, Peter Kafka at All Things Digital points out.

But comScore’s data are based on current mobile-device ownership, while NPD data offer a quarterly view of new sales and shipments, said Andrew Lipsman, senior director of industry analysis at comScore. “So it’s entirely reasonable for Android to be outpacing iPhone in the most recent sales period while iPhone would still have a substantially larger share of the current mobile device market,” he wrote in an email to Digits.

NPD’s numbers also don’t include purchases by corporations, and numbers from its online survey of more than 150,000 people can differ from comScore’s surveys, which include more than 200 million phone subscribers.

Still, the numbers indicate that the introduction of Android could be shaking up the mobile-phone market in the U.S. Part of the reason could be that the Android operating system is available on a variety of phones on several carriers, while Apple’s is found on a single phone through AT&T only.

Buy-one-get-one promotions by Verizon could be driving some of the sales of Android phones, NPD indicated in a press release. “As in the past, carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role in determining smartphone market share,” said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis for NPD, in the release.

Recently, analysts have questioned Apple about whether it will open up the iPhone to other carriers, Verizon in particular. In other countries where Apple has moved from a single carrier to a more open model, the iPhone’s share of the market has increased.

UPDATE: Apple says the report from NPD Group is limited, and the company points to other figures out recently from IDC indicating that the iPhone has 16.1% of the smart-phone market on a world-wide basis. Those figures put the iPhone well ahead of Android handset makers HTC and Motorola.

“This is a very limited report on 150,000 U.S. consumers responding to an online survey and does not account for the more than 85 million iPhone and iPod touch customers world-wide,” said Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison of the NPD report. “We had a record quarter with iPhone sales growing by 131%, and with our new iPhone OS 4.0 software coming this summer, we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon,” she added.

Are Mobile Ads the Next Big Thing? Maybe Not

A lot of buzz among online advertising companies these days is focused on mobile ads delivered to smart phones. Google executives have even talked about becoming a “mobile first” company, and Apple and Google have both made recent moves into mobile advertising.

Associated Press

A woman uses a mobile phone in Singapore.

But Kevin Ryan, the former CEO of online-ad company DoubleClick, said he doesn’t see mobile advertising delivering on those promises soon. Mr. Ryan, who left DoubleClick in 2005 and is the founder and chairman of high-end retailer Gilt Groupe, said that he has long been asked about mobile advertising and that “the real answer” is that he doesn’t think mobile is going to be as big as people think — although he learned very quickly that “the answer that people want to hear is that mobile is going to be huge.”

“Even today … there is almost no mobile advertising,” he said at an Internet, media and telecom conference held by financial-services firm Jefferies. “The screen is just too small,” even on many of today’s smart phones. Mr. Ryan said the iPad is the first mobile device he’s seen that could deliver compelling advertising to consumers.

Spending on mobile ads, although growing, is still a tiny portion of online advertising. In the U.S., mobile advertising accounted for $416 million in spending in 2009 — compared with $22.4 billion in overall online advertising, according to market-research firm eMarketer. The firm had predicted that mobile-ad spending would hit $760 million in 2009, the Journal’s Jessica Vascellaro and Emily Steel wrote earlier this year.

Mr. Ryan said the lack of compelling advertising on phones doesn’t mean that mobile content itself isn’t important, though, or that subscriptions and other pricing models for mobile content wouldn’t work. “There’s no inherent reason why advertising has to drive everything,” he said.

Mr. Ryan also said many e-commerce sites don’t get much of their purchases from mobile devices, but that this hasn’t held true for Gilt Groupe. The site, which focuses on limited-time sales of goods from top-end designers, saw about 10% of its purchases coming from the iPhone and iPad combined soon after the iPad was launched. The site also has offered mobile-only promotions. Sales on Gilt are available only for a limited time, and items can sell out quickly, so Gilt users are more inclined to use mobile devices to ensure they can make a purchase. “It’s just the nature of our business,” Mr. Ryan said.

TicketFly Rounds Up $3 Million to Fight Ticketmaster

Average concertgoers go to two shows a year, and there’s a very good chance some of the money they spend on those shows goes to Ticketmaster, which dominates the ticketing business.

So here’s a company that wants a piece of that: TicketFly, a New York-based start-up that just raised a $2 million Series A round led by High Peaks Venture Partners and Contour Venture Partners. The company had previously raised $1 million in convertible debt last year, via angels Howard Lindzon and Roger Ehrenberg, among others.

If TicketFly works, there’s a good chance you won’t ever know about it, because it’s a B2B business: Consumers fund the operation via surcharges on their tickets, but the real customers are the concert venues, which strike exclusive deals with ticketing companies.

So most of the features are designed with the venues and promoters in mind. TicketFly says it can help with Web site design and management, promoting shows on Twitter and Facebook, tracking sales data in real time, etc.

All of this sounds like fairly straightforward stuff, but the ticketing business is an old, archaic one. And Ticketmaster, the industry’s eight million-pound gorilla, now owned by Live Nation (LYV), is particularly slow-moving when it comes to all things tech. So some of this really will feel fresh for the concert guys.

More interesting are TicketFly’s plans, which involve giving venues the chance to sell tickets using the same dynamic pricing/yield management techniques hotels and airlines use: That is, prices for hot shows may shoot up, and if you want to see a band no one else wants to see, you may end up paying very little.

TicketFly has about 50 venues signed up so far, and most are fairly intimate places like Maxwell’s in Hoboken, N.J., or the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis–the kinds of of places where you could see Nirvana before Nirvana became Nirvana.

They’re also the kinds of places that used be served by TicketWeb, another Web-based upstart that Ticketmaster acquired a few years back. No coincidence: TicketFly co-founder Andrew Dreskin used to run that company.

Shareholders Rebuke Motorola Over Pay Practices

Shareholders rebuked Motorola Inc. over its pay practices, adding another headache for the technology company as it struggles to turn around its cellphone operations and divide the company next year.

The message came via a "say-on-pay" vote at Motorola's annual shareholder meeting Monday. The company's compensation policies and procedures won support from only 46% of the votes cast, the company said. It was the first time a major U.S. company has failed to garner a majority of support on a say-on-pay vote, according to proxy advisory firm RiskMetrics Group Inc.

The vote isn't binding, but will force Motorola ...

Boys of Summer Edition

The flowers are blooming in Silicon Valley and the scoreboard shout-outs at AT&T Park, where the San Francisco Giants play, are stacked up, as all the fashionable little start-ups treat their staffs to a dog, beers and some baseball. AllThingsD continues to watch the seasons change from inside our dimly lit HQ, crumpled over computers, smartphones and tablets to keep the news flowing. We’re going to be as pale in August as we were in February, all in the service of our readers. We’re glad to have you, so read on and catch up on anything you might have missed from this warm and wonderful week.

BoomTown started off at what has become a magically bottomless trough of posts. Kara reported on yet another exec, this time Angela Courtin, SVP of Marketing, Entertainment and Content, scurrying down the gangway of the SS MySpace. Kara mused that while posts on executive departures from My Space and Yahoo have been plentiful lately, they can’t keep coming forever. Midweek, she got on a plane to Beantown and caught up with Walt Mossberg at MIT’s new Media Lab facility. The video she came back with features foldable cars, cities of the future, awesome electro-opera gloves and the weirdest glowing-eyed owl-thing Weekend Update has ever laid eyes on. Seriously: Worth a watch. Toward the end of the week, Kara got deep in a piece she wrote for the Washington Post, where she worked back when newspapers were king. She wrote about what she thought the world would benefit from being rid of, namely physical keyboards and computer mice. Full disclosure: She wrote the post on her Apple (AAPL) iPad.

Digital Daily was a posting machine this week, starting early with some bad news for Steve Ballmer and the Internet Explorer fanboys out there (theoretically there should be some right?). It looks like IE’s dominating market share dropped seven percent, down to 59 percent since this time last year, under pressure from other browsers, according to a Net Applications study. Midweek, John moved on to a post about recent speculation that low AT&T (T) data plan prices for the iPad 3G may indicate an extension of the exclusive deal between AT&T and Apple. John finished things off with a nice post that brings some perspective to all the Apple ogling by the press. The comScore (SCOR) report names Samsung as the top mobile device maker in the U.S. market, even if an analysis of media coverage volume might suggest otherwise.

Over at MediaMemo, Peter brought us a post early in the week on Google’s investment in Invidi, a start-up working on “addressable ads” in the TV space. We aren’t sure if Google (GOOG) is looking more Appley or if Apple is looking more Googley these days. From the light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel files, Peter posted that Time Inc. saw gains in both ad and subscription dollars last quarter. The question remains: Will it be a V- or a W-shaped recovery? At least it’s not just a backslash. Delivering a much anticipated piece of news, Peter posted that it appears Facebook will finally start rolling out location services sometime in the next several weeks. Advertising Age reported that McDonald’s (MCD), the international corporate face of individualized services, will be a partner for the launch. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. At Mickey D’s, you can have it any way you want, as long as it’s the McDonalds way.

Personal Technology this week was a little more of a conceptual piece than a gadget review, but Walt always mixes it up at the right time. He devoted his entire column to demystifying some of the concepts around cloud computing and explains what it may mean for Joe and Jane user. Walt seems keen on the change with allows flexibility and interoperation among devices, and his explanation brings it down to ground level. Katie rounded us out with a hands-on review of Microsoft’s new Kin One, a roundish little smartphone designed to be a social platform as much as a phone. She liked the design and execution in most areas, though felt that the polish on this first Microsoft smartphone reincarnation was a little lacking. Best of all? Seems like Kin’s constant wireless upload of all content to the cloud might be the feature to beat.

Thanks for tuning in, logging on and tweeting out with our new Meebo bar. We’re in the final countdown to the D8 conference now, and we’re ready to level up to full-tilt awesome. Stay tuned!

Are You Ready, Foursquare? Here Comes Facebook.

Okay, Dennis Crowley: Hope you’ve figured out the whole take-Yahoo’s-money-or-not thing. Because here comes Facebook.

The social network is finally ready to start rolling out its location service this month and has linked up with McDonalds (MCD) for the launch, Advertising Age reports.

As early as this month, the social-networking site will give users the ability to post their location within a status update. McDonald’s, through digital agency Tribal DDB, Chicago, is building an app with Facebook would allow users to check in at one of its restaurants and have a featured product appear in the post, such as an Angus Quarter Pounder, say executives close to the deal.

It’s easy enough to make fun of this one, because really, who wants to admit to eating an Angus? (Had one in September 2007. Awful.) But then comes everyone else:

Executives with knowledge say it was negotiated as part of a bigger media buy on Facebook, and McDonald’s will be the first marketer to take advantage of the service.

The fast feeder won’t be alone for long. While McDonald’s is expected to be involved in the rollout in the next few weeks, execs at other digital shops have begun to spec out location-based campaigns in anticipation of Facebook’s impending functionality, which will allow users to include their location in a status update.

Internet scribes get accused, with justification, of slapping the “-killer” suffix on anything and everything. But this one really is a threat to Foursquare.

Not only can Facebook replicate every feature on the much-hyped service, but it has something Foursquare won’t be able to boast of for a very long time: A sales team to match the location service up with big brands and a self-service ad platform that local businesses can plug into.

Add all of this to a user base of 450 million (!) people and it really is a problem for Foursquare, if Facebook wants it to be.

And that’s pretty much the defense I’ve heard when I bring up Facebook’s competitive threat to Foursquare boosters: “People always worry about giant Web company X stomping on zippy startup Y, but that almost never happens. Because giant Web companies are lumbering beasts that can’t move fast enough to take on zippy start-ups, and they don’t really care to, anyway.”

And maybe that will turn out to be true, here, too. If not, it may make all the talk of $100 million offers seem awfully hopeful.
