Flurry, Inc., a leader in mobile application analytics, and comScore, Inc., a leader in measuring the digital world, today announced a collaboration that significantly enhances mobile application audience measurement. The joint offering combines comScore mobile panel data with Flurry Analytics mobile application usage data to deliver publishers, agencies, marketers, advertisers, ad networks and OEMs deep insight into the consumption habits of application users on iPhone, Android and Blackberry devices. The service will be available through comScore and its authorized resellers in Q1 of 2010 as part of comScores leading Mobile Media solutions.

The combination of Flurry and comScore data provides clients with significantly more accurate, insightful and comprehensive information about consumers and how they use mobile applications. Flurry Analytics adds powerful real-time consumption data, including frequency of use, length of use, user geographic location, new vs. repeat usage and Wi-Fi vs. carrier network usage, to comScores existing audience measurement platform. This set of measurement tools enables marketers, advertisers and publishers to better understand mobile consumer behavior, mobile advertising, content merchandising and mobile device characteristics, allowing them to develop smarter mobile business strategies.

Flurry is excited to provide comScore clients with key information about mobile application usage, enabling them to succeed on iPhone, Android and Blackberry–the worlds fastest growing digital media platforms, said Sean Galligan, Flurry vice president of business development. ComScore’s demonstrated innovation in audience measurement and relationships with the world’s largest digital media properties make them an ideal partner for Flurry.

Flurry collects mobile application data from approximately two out of every three iPhone and Android devices. Each month, the company aggregates application usage data from over 1 billion end-user sessions across more than 50 million unique handsets from more than 200 countries. Over 10,000 developers have chosen to integrate Flurry Analytics within their applications.

We are thrilled to work with Flurry to bring this offering to the marketplace, said Brian Jurutka, comScore VP, Mobile. By integrating Flurrys rich, real-time user behavior data with comScores audience measurement platform, we can deliver more powerful insights to media publishers, advertisers and mobile application developers and the intelligence needed for effective strategic execution in the mobile environment. These new capabilities will help bring the robust reporting and accountability needed to support the continued growth and development of the mobile application ecosystem.

As major media, video game publishers and web services rush to establish a presence in the exploding mobile application market, the need to measure performance metrics has never been greater. According to a MobiLens report released in November by comScore, world-wide touch-screen device adoption grew by 159% from August 2008 to August 2009. The Apple iPhone ranked as the top touch-screen device, with 32.9 % of device users age 13 and older. In the U.S., during the same time period, total smart phone adoption grew by 63 %. Additionally, according to research released in October by Kevin Dulaney of Gartner Research, OEMs such as HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Dell and others are forecasted to ship more than 75 million handsets in 2012, overtaking iPhone in market share.

FastMoney.com announces the rollout of a new phone number that people can use to apply for payday loans 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The number, which can be located on the Contact Us page of the FastMoney.com site, is geared both toward individuals who are uncomfortable submitting personal information and applying for loans online as well as those who are willing to do business online but unable to do so because of lack of Internet access.

At FastMoney.com, our number-one mission is to make payday loans available to anyone who might benefit from them, says FastMoney.com spokesperson Rick Evans. The introduction of our new loan application phone number allows us to open up access to payday loans to a segment of the population that previously was effectively shut out. We anticipate that this new application feature will bring in many new individuals who want to utilize our service and take advantage of the assistance that we can provide to them in the form of a helpful, quick cash advance.

As is the case when they apply online, consumers applying for quick money loans using FastMoney.coms new phone number can get approved for a loan without needing to present a credit score or put up collateral of any type. Customers calling the number will get immediate help from a skilled representative who will take them through the simple, brief application process, which generally takes just a few minutes. Qualified individuals normally are approved for loans extremely quickly, and approved funds are deposited directly into a customers checking account within one business day at the most. Available loan amounts start at $100 and go up to $1,500. When the time comes for a customer to repay their loan, everything is handled electronically via automatic withdrawal from their account on the scheduled repayment due date. This is done to ensure maximum convenience for the customer.

To qualify for a loan, applicants must meet only a handful of very basic requirements. Among these are that they must be at least 18 years of age, be a U.S. citizen or legal resident, be currently employed with a minimum of 90 days of employment at their job, and earn a minimum of $1,000/month after taxes. Additionally, prospective borrowers must possess a checking account in their name, valid home and work phone numbers, and a valid email address.

FastMoney.com expects that it will soon see an influx of new customers looking to apply for payday loans using the new application phone number, and in preparation for this it has done everything possible to make sure that these individuals will receive the top-level customer service that the company has always been known for.
