ℹ️ Hvad er det her?

· The Guardians salgschef: Digitale annoncer belønner ‘Fake News’
Programmatic advertising is having a bad time of it.
First, there’s its continued role in disastrous ad misplacement scandals. Then there’s the ugly fact that there are fake news websites that profit financially because they plug into programmatic exchanges. It was this latter point that the Guardian’s chief revenue officer Hamish Nicklin addressed today, when he appealed to publishers and advertisers attending the Guardian’s Changing Media Summit to stop just paying lip service to the issue and take action.

The Washington Post has signed an agreement to license its digital publishing platform, Arc Publishing, to rival publisher Tronc, the companies announced Monday.
The Post also said it has plans to open up the Arc platform to all publishers via a self-service platform.

· AdBlock Plus offentliggør ‘Acceptable Annoncer’-komite

Facebook is giving another feature that clones Snapchat Stories a big push.
Facebook Stories, a feature that puts photos that disappear after 24 hours at the top of the Facebook mobile app, is rolling out to users in Chile, Greece and Vietnam, Facebook confirmed. However, it is not available to users in all markets.
· YouTube lancerer ‘Uptime’ til social video-kigning
Looking to turn watching YouTube videos into a more social experience, a team from Google’s internal incubator, Area 120, has launched Uptime, an app that lets you watch videos together with your friends. The app is initially available only for iOS devices, and it feels very different from the standard YouTube experience.

· Facebook sendte personlige data til 47 firmaer
Hvis du synes, dit privatliv (altså den del af dit liv, du ikke selv vælger at dele) er noget, der er værd at værne om, bør du nok overveje din brug af Facebook.
Version2 skriver:
Hele 47 forskellige parter modtog personlige oplysninger fra det sociale medie. Heraf fik fem tilsendt det fulde navn, mens ti modtog brugerens fysiske position, heriblandt ukendte annoncenetværk og en byggemarkedskæde. De parter kan derfor tegne et kort over, hvor brugeren har befundet sig.

· Facebook forbyder overvågning
Fra ‘Facebook and Privacy’:
Today we are adding language to our Facebook and Instagram platform policies to more clearly explain that developers cannot “use data obtained from us to provide tools that are used for surveillance.”

· Annoncekonsolidering kan ramme mindre udgivere
There’s good news and bad news for digital media firms. The good news is that advertisers are finally plowing big money into new ad formats, particularly “branded content” like sponsored videos which mimics editorial content. The bad news: This favors big publishers over small.

· Twitter åbner for garanterede videoannoncer
Twitter is introducing guaranteed ad buys for certain advertisers. The new video ad product is a move towards offering a product which more closely matches TV advertising.

· Udfordringen ved at kombinere UX og Agile
Nielsen Norman Group har en fin artikel om nogle af udfordringerne ved at kombinere UX-arbejdet med Agile udviklingsarbejde. Blandt andet kan du læse, hvad man kan gøre, når ens UX-folk (på grund af Agiles opbygning) arbejder et eller flere sprints forude.
Artiklen er ikke særlig lang, men den giver noget at tænke over ?.
· Sådan arbejder MobilePay med UX
Peter Gregersen, der er ‘Senior User Experience Specialist’ hos MobilePay, har skrevet en artikel på LinkedIn om deres arbejde med brugeroplevelsen.
Her er nogle bidder fra artiklen:
In my view, UX was more important than e.g. business models, fees structures and infrastructure when we initially designed and developed the solution. […]
Recently, we have established a UX board to insure the holistic overview of the design and usability of our products. […]
As UX professionals, we continuously need to preach the importance of thinking UX first and business objectives secondly. […]
It is also key for us, that UX board members have a practical role in the daily work. We need to be executors – not just theoretical UX scientists.

· Design-Darwinisme: Iterationer er ikke design
Product managers beware!
In some reaches of the product development world there is a fascination with the idea that products can nearly design themselves through an iterative process of development, testing, and incremental improvement. This is what I call “design Darwinsm.” […]
The problem is, it doesn’t work. You can’t design by iteration and incremental improvement. There is no such thing as design Darwinism in the real world (except that which brings about the extinction of poorly-designed products).

· Er Snapchats spøjse UI årsag til succesen?
Snapchat’s usability sucks. They even had to include ten black and white diagrams in their IPO filing just to help potential investors (i.e. olds) understand it. At Figma, we found ourselves wondering just how the hell Snapchat became a $28 billion company with its Mad Hatter interface. So we talked to five designers we respect to get their take.
· Skal din næste UX-super-duper-expert-consultant være en psykolog?
Having a Psychology background is already a huge step towards User Experience (UX)
· Fire faldgruber ved performance-test
TL;DR:
- Assuming performance testing is only useful for end-to-end testing
- Performance test environment (mis)management
- Not creating an accurate workload model
