"Since the patent is limited to software, Samsung can quickly remove the infringing feature from the devices via an over-the-air update, or Samsung can design around the patent," he told the E-Commerce Times.

"The 'Piracy is Progress' is an egregious and entirely selfish shame. Ghost Beach and their backers, American Eagle and TWBA/Chiat /Day are taking advantage of the creative class to promote their own interests, and they should be ashamed," said Josh Crandall, principal analyst at NetPop Research. "The architects of this campaign are aware that Creative Commons licenses achieve their intended goal of promoting sharing online without undermining the value of copyright in a post-industrial, service based society," Crandall told the E-Commerce Times.

"It's a strange decision that seems progressive on the government's part, but may reflect their lack of understanding about how Facebook pages work," he told the E-Commerce Times.

"The first thing people think about is creating a literal conversation with your brand," Mahoney told the E-Commerce Times. "The ability to have a two-way dialogue first of all leads to a tighter relationship, and saying the name out loud really helps with recall.

"We built these tools to be relevant for everyone from the biggest brands to the smallest corner shop, and hope that it will help them begin to investigate mobile's full impact online and offline." ...
