    A good offline marketing strategy can help you to promote your online presence and generate a lot of high quality traffic to your website. Ever since the internet marketing explosion, many business owners have begun devoting a lot of their attention and resources towards marketing online. However, it’s still important that you don’t limit yourself to online marketing only, offline marketing is still a powerful strategy and it most likely always will be. After all, just as radio advertising did not make print advertising obsolete and TV advertising did not make radio advertising obsolete, so internet marketing will never make offline marketing completely obsolete.

    Pretty hefty profits. I'm glad Yahoo was able to close the deal on this app.

    For those who are lazy like me:

    Yahoo Buys 12-Week-Old Startup IntoNow For ~$20 Million


    Yahoo just bought a company called IntoNow for a price close to $20 million, Kara Swisher reports.

    Facebook and Twitter were also looking to buy the startup, according to TechCrunch.
    Users of IntoNow's iPhone app can "check-in" to TV programs the way Foursquare users "check-in" to restaurants and bars.


    Like iPhone app Shazam, which can listen to the a song that's playing and tell you its title, IntoNow listens to the TV show and identifies it.

    In a press release, Yahoo says "The addition of IntoNow will enable Yahoo! to provide enhanced media experiences and video programming, bolstering its social engagement across the Yahoo! network and on all screens."

    If Yahoo is smart, they'll let IntoNow keep working on its product and just fund it.

    We can imagine Yahoo will also use IntoNow's soundtrack-recognition technology to create single-serving apps to go along with popular TV shows and movies.

    In IntoNow's blog post announcing the buyout, IntoNow says its building the tech out for platforms including Android, the Web, and the iPad.



    PS - I always thought it'd be cool to have an app that could identify what movie a clip was from...dropped the ball on that one, lol </3
