Web Standards Orgs Call Out For Help As They (And Online Ad Revenue) Are Swamped By Change

Asbestos was an essential, even miraculous part of worldwide construction for a century. It keeps buildings cool in the heat and preserves heat in the cold; it holds buildings together and prevents them from burning down. One problem: Asbestos does horrible violence to human lungs. The example of asbestos is relevant to ad tech because… Continue reading »

Project Rearc One Year In: IAB Tech Lab Proposes Specs For Accountability And Addressability

While Google is busy dismantling how the open web functions, the ad industry is busy trying to re-architect it. The IAB Tech Lab released several technical specifications for review on Tuesday in support of Project Rearc.

Pandora has moved into the next phase of audibility testing with an expanded beta involving more advertisers across 50 campaigns.
Pandora’s Open Beta For Audibility Is About Helping Advertisers Get More Comfortable Spending On Audio

Ad viewability is now table stakes, but audibility measurement is still in its very earliest stages. It’s been two years since the Media Rating Council released its standard for digital audio measurement – defined as two continuous seconds of play in a fraud-free environment and with the volume on – and there still aren’t any offerings on… Continue reading »

A new W3C group is being pitched - the Decentralized Web Interest Group - that would help identify the unintended consequences of web standards.
A Potential New Crew Could Bring A More Diverse POV To The W3C

The World Wide Web Consortium has 437 business, community, interest and working groups – and soon there might be one more. Around six members of the W3C’s Improving Web Advertising Business Group (IWABG) are pitching the creation of a new group, known for now as the Decentralized Web Interest Group (DWIG), that will help W3C groups… Continue reading »

Here’s Your Cheat Sheet On The Difference Between W3C Member Groups

The structure of the World Wide Web Consortium can be confusing, since thousands of technologists across hundreds of companies participate in hundreds of groups, all with very specific purposes and remits. There are four broad types of groups that exist within the W3C – interest groups, business groups, community groups and working groups – each of… Continue reading »

OpenAP Faces An Uncertain Future – But Don’t Write It Off Yet

WarnerMedia’s farewell to the OpenAP Consortium Friday was inevitable. The writing has been on the wall since February, when AT&T’s $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner was finalized. “It makes sense to pull out now [that] they’re owned by a company that has one of the largest data sets available,” said Tracey Scheppach, CEO and… Continue reading »

The Ad Industry Is Still Figuring Out How To Devise Standards Without Driving Everyone Insane

How many seals, accreditations, badges, consortiums, committees and standards can one industry support before it collapses under the weight of its own good intentions? The ad industry seems hell-bent on finding out. “There may be too many badges and seals out there,” Mike Zaneis observed on a panel during Advertising Week in New York City.… Continue reading »

The Mobile App Space Needs Standards, But Post-View And Post-Click Attribution Are Major Speed Bumps

While mobile app advertising is in dire need of standards, that prospect is easier said than done. Confusion and wrongheadedness in the industry is rife, even among user acquisition specialists. “Ask a room full of UA managers to explain how mobile tracking works and I think most won’t be able to explain the whole process,”… Continue reading »

The Industry Starts To Rally Around Location Data Accuracy, But It’s A Long Road Ahead

Accuracy is a spectrum when it comes to location data. And because there’s no systematic way to discern between different types of location data, including how granular it is or when it was derived, the buy side is confused and reluctant to spend. “When we ask clients what the stumbling block is for location, they… Continue reading »

Why Real-Time Bidding (RTB) Is An Open Software Standard

“Data Driven Thinking” is a new column written by members of the media community and containing fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media. Today’s column is written by Zach Coelius, CEO of Triggit, an online advertising technology company. To my frustration, talking about proprietary vs. open software standards is a really good way to… Continue reading »
