TagLikeMe Corp. President and CEO, Richard Elliot-Square states, "The numbers are proving up our contention that digital ad spending is moving rapidly into the mobile space. That's why we began focusing our efforts on this area right from the start. We see the mobile space as the real future for our social search and share technology. There are nearly unlimited possibilities for us to expand and monetize our technology in the mobile sector. We expect to be available on all platforms by this year's end – a goal we're well on our way to achieving with our first app release into the itunes app store last week."
Elliot-Square also says important trends discovered in the data play in the Company's favor.
"From what the metrics are demonstrating, not all types of mobile advertising will generate the same opportunity. According to Gartner, 'Search and maps will deliver the highest revenue, while video/audio ads will see the fastest growth through 2015.' That plays perfectly into our next-generation search and share offering that is attracting an early loyal following," Elliot-Square says.
TagLikeMe.com launched in 2012 and expects to release a mobile app version for iOS, iPhone, Android and Windows 8 mobile during Q4 2012.
