 Music: Leap paying Streaming France

Music: Leap paying Streaming France Deezer and Spotify's efforts to encourage users to upgrade their free offers littered with advertisements paid memberships seem to be working. According to the latest figures from SNEP (the union Majors) for the second quarter, paid streaming now accounts for 22% of segment revenues against 13% a year ago. The free ad-supported streaming is stable (6%), but overall, streaming across all models moved up to 28% of revenue generated (58 million euros) against 19% in July 2014. Better , revenues from online listening now represent "half the revenues from physical sales" in France. We observe a real trend that can give hope to the sector in crisis for years. "This is the subscription model wearing this dynamic with growth of 66% while those of the model supported by advertising were down slightly (-2%)," notes the SNEP. Still, this hope is relative. Revenues from securities downloads crumble 15% while physical sales continue to fall (-18% to € 118 million). In total, the growth of streaming fails to offset the decline in physical and sector over the period displayed yet another decline of 6.2% to 207 million euros against 220 million a year ago. "Streaming is a young and growing sector. The proliferation of new players expands the market, improves the reputation of a practice, listen online, which is still far from mature," said Guillaume Leblanc , General Director of SNEP.

Music Apple: Apple promises improvements while the free ends Apple "has some homework to do," he said. "A lot of work is being done to make the best product. The focus is on the editorial and playlists, and obviously we have teams around the world working on this," added the Apple leader. The firm also promises new features and rectify "certain things".

"The product is always our priority [...] Of course, we strive every day to improve it" assures Oliver Schusser. The word of Apple executives is rare, especially when it comes to confess weaknesses. But the timing is not insignificant. Apple Music free period will end on 30 September. At that date, users will have to decide whether they wish to pay monthly 9.99 or 14.99 euros. In early August, Apple boss in charge of online services, Eddy Cue, Apple announced Music totaled 11 million registered or testers. Still according to him, two million had already subscribed to the family to 14.99 euros. Nothing however the standard subscription and the actual subscription. The priority for Apple in September is to convert a maximum of testers into clients. In August, a study with US users MusicWatch estimated 48% share of registered deserting the service. Apple provides, however, that this share is much lower, around 21%, but did not specify the exact nature of that figure.

 Instagram: more and more subscribers for brands

Instagram: more and more subscribers for brands Instagram just keeps moving! The subscriptions brands growth rose 17.7% in the second quarter; against 1.9% for Facebook. But in parallel, the interaction rate has fallen much more on Instagram on Facebook. To observers, this slowdown is simply due to the increased number of subscribers and the number of publications. In short: more choices, more users, more than position, so an average down. Finally the next video, they accounted for only 6.22% of the content posted on Instagram between January and March, against 10.23% in the second quarter. We can expect an even higher result for the year end. With this study Quintly opportunity to slip a few tips to brands who want to invest and develop their strategy on Instagram. Compared to Facebook, we are reminded that there is no EdgeRank on Instagram. This makes it easier to reach subscribers. On Social Network, fans being more numerous, it is now necessary to spend money to increase its visibility. The publication of videos also follows some rules of common sense. "Marketers should evaluate the use of video content for Instagram and Facebook," says the report. On Instagram, for example, an interaction can be regarded as being of "good quality" if a subscriber viewing a video for 15 seconds; which is not the case on the platform Zuckerberg. It is therefore important to separate the content and upload native videos on Facebook, in addition to those posted on Instagram.

 3 questions to understand the Big Data

3 questions to understand the Big Data It creates value from the data by diverting explains Gilles Babinet. Today, the data produced by a company are generally used for a single purpose. The challenge is to interpret the data for other purposes, and in all areas: supply chain, marketing or finance. Three types of limits are however to understand. "The quality of what is sought and men who seek" first, with the glass ceiling of expertise. Then, the limit can also be technological. Often "the data are not readily available, they are in silos, they are denied access or sometimes difficult to treat," said Gilles Babinet. Hence the need for openness and standardization of data. Finally, the ethical limit is important. "There are areas where we can create value, but at the expense of the common good." We must therefore wonder about the purpose of our societies and on the regulation that needs to be put in place. The sources of Big Data, Gilles Babinet evokes the concept of "information explosion" from the time of Turing, with the premises of computing. But it was really in the 90s that the term is forged with intrinsically the concept of misuse of data, that is to say, the idea that we can use the data for anything other than why she was created at the start. In 1998, the invention in the Google Page Rank by Larry Page and Sergey Brin marks the beginning of the use of unstructured data to create information to search engines.

 VMware: What will Dell from its war booty?

VMware: What will Dell from its war booty? Why Dell put a spoke in the wheels of VMware? VMware is a bonus for Dell, and I think they are very proud. EMC, like Dell, was an empire builder and bought six dozen companies since 1996 in the areas of storage, storage management, virtualization, services, security and content management . The portfolio of Dell hardware side, software and service has increased to the point that it is now a real competitor to IBM. And I think the continuity of customers for that business activity is a top priority. To my knowledge, Dell never had the culture of burnt land. In response to another statement by Ms. Whitman: "By joining two portfolios, it will streamline the supply of products, which will disrupt the business and create confusion for their customers Customers simply will not know. whether the products they buy today will still be supported in the next 18 months. " There, I agree. Remember Compaq, Autonomy, and Palm ... Oh! Wait! Sorry, it was not Dell. OK, so actually I do not agree. I think Dell will continue support for EMC products. Of course it will rebrand these products, merge those it makes sense to merge, and maybe even throw some overboard in the same movement, but I expected that supports Dell customers.

"This is not just about Facebook users, but almost all internet users in Belgium and Europe" emphasizes the OPC. The social network reacted and acknowledged that his cookies were able to spy on non-registered users, but only because of a bug. An explanation he seems quite unsatisfactory for the Belgian Protection Commission, and in any way inadequate. This report was then led to a referral to the court by the OPC. However, the Brussels civil court has sentenced for interim relief on social network and ordered him to stop all tracing in Belgium. This trial decision also imposes a penalty to Facebook than 250,000 euros a day (!) For failure.
