So keeping your brain active can be vital in obtaining the goals of your life.

TapIt Mobile Advertising Buyout & $100.00 Traffic Test

When two companies that work within the same area of expertise come together, one of two things can be expected.  It’s either one company gets completely eradicated until not a single employee remembers that the other company ever existed, or the two work to develop each other until the two names co-exist and are considered as synonymous.  We expect and hope that the latter is what we can expect to see from the purchase of TapIt by it’s proud new owner, phunware.

$100 Traffic Test

I purchased $100 worth of advertising from Tap It just to see how it would perform. I tested a mobile dating offer, loan offer, and several other offers. Here are my results (Only conversions):

As you can see I had 2 conversions for the dating offer for a total of $7.50. Commission on this offer were very low, but 2 conversions is a start. Even though a -$92.50 loss is a big deal, I know the traffic converts and that really is half the battle. Start playing around with new offers and changing ads around. Eventually if my hunch is correct you could get into positive territory with TapIt mobile traffic. Just watch your spending and be sure to add a daily spending cap. TapIt is like most mobile advertising companies, traffic comes in the form of a tidal wave.

Min. deposit for TapIt is $50.00

Only form of payment accepted is PayPal

About TapIt

TapIt was started by a group of people who were able to read the signs and figure out where the internet landscape was headed.  At this time, the internet was already widely available and people were just mastering the monster that had opened up a whole new way to do business.  As people struggled with their PCs in order to cater to a shrinking world and a global market, technology started taking a new turn by introducing the mobile device.

We are not speaking of the regular cellular phone at this point.  We speak of the portable computers that can do almost anything that a regular desktop can do.  This was still the internet, but with a totally new format.  Of course, all companies that did internet advertising jumped onto the mobile advertising world as well, but TapIt took a step back to ask, “is everything that is used on the internet, working for the mobile advertising scene as well?”  That question gave the direction to TapIt.

In a pinch, people go to TapIt in order to get their mobile needs answered.  Advertisers are able to advertise, track the performance of their advertisements and tweak their programs in order to get the most out of the money they invest.  Of course, there are also publishers who help expand the reach of the company in terms of advertising, and then there are the developers who type the numbers and let those become programs that convey the message of companies and their products to the target audience.

The Merging of Two Giants

The purchase deal made by Phunware for the purchase of TapIt was completed December 2012 and announced the following month.  The deal, however, was not sealed in a single month, which is normal.  Phunware, being a company that concentrated on the mobile industry and pioneered the MaaS (Mobile as a Service) system that offered a wide range of services in the mobile industry.  At a certain point, it knew that it could no longer build new services from the ground up, and decided to look to other companies that were aligned to its vision.  This was when they decided to purchase TapIt.

Despite what others might interpret as a violent takeover, both companies and their employees have nothing but praise to say when they discuss the decision to buy/sell.  TapIt was able to create a great reporting structure for advertisers that make them of huge value to the users.  Phunware would have nothing to offer but growth to the considerably smaller company, and this is because it already has huge names on its client list such as NASCAR, CBS, NBC and other letters of the alphabet that just spell money in different ways.

In Conclusion

If something is not broke, you do not fix it.  This is old wisdom that all people follow, and Phunware knows this by heart.  The existing service provided by TapIt is already great, and can only be improved upon.  Any mistake may mean a loss of millions in customer investments.  This is important to Phunware, so one could say that they will do their utmost to keep TapIt at its top shape, and do nothing but improve on the service.

M. Night Shyamalan After Earth Movie Review

Sometimes when it comes to a movie’s success, everything boils down to a single name that will catapult the movie to the top of the charts…or the bottom of the barrel. This adventure, sci-fi film has a bit of a double standard going. First, we got one of the biggest movie star celebrities: Will Smith and, one of the most despised directors around: M. Night Shyamalan. Who is going to rub off of whom here: The director who has successfully pissed everyone off with his increasingly crappier movies, or the celebrity super star that has successfully earned everyone’s attention and appraisal? Let’s find out as we look into “After Earth.”

Earth’s destruction has forced all of humanity to evacuate the planet and head off into space to try and find a livable planet to call home. Nova Prime is the best chance for human life to thrive. Legendary General Cypher Raige (Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to try and make a relationship work with his estranged son Kitai (Jaden Smith). However, an asteroid monkey wrenches their reunion plans and dumps them both on a savage, monster animal loaded planet Earth. The general is crippled in the crash and needs medical aid to survive, which forces his son Kitai to traverse the dangerous plane Earth to get a rescue beacon to save his father’s life.

I love Will Smith. All the hype, success, big paychecks, everything associated with him is well earned. Smith has proven his name is easily translatable to cash. However, certain factors can still occur in his movies that can actually hinder him from generating a decent profit for movie studios. The biggest factor here is Shyamalan. He’s had a major suckfest record the past 3 or 4 movies, even films that associated with his name have resulted in groans and moans from movie goers everywhere. Another factor that hinders Smith’s success in a movie: barely having him IN the movie. This movie cripples Smith both literally and emotionally, leaving 95% of the focus and attention to be placed on his son. Contrary to popular belief, Jayden is NOT his dad; he doesn’t even come close to measuring up to the star power his father’s name is associated with.

I’m not saying he’s devoid of talent, his past work has proven he does have acting chops…just not very good ones. This film is all about visuals, spectacles and beautiful CGI monsters and animals to distract you from the fact that our real, flesh and blood human actors are more cold and lifeless than the computer generated critters populating the screen. Not only does Smith spend all his screen time in a spaceship, he’s cold, robotic and totally devoid of any of the emotional charm and wit we’ve come to love and expect him to show off. Only M. Night can take something amazing and churn it into a total crapfest (look at “The Last Airbender” for further proof).

The concept behind this film is interesting and different, yet any originality this film had is made meaningless but the constant boredom that slowly plays out through the weak script and half assed plot points. Nothing works here; it’s all dull and devoid of any talent or imagination. The cast is basically boiled down to an emotionally bankrupt Will Smith, and a talent stunted Jayden Smith who is incapable of leading this film or impressing us (or even his character’s father for that matter). You’d think a scripted, strained father son relationship based on a real life father and son would work. Unfortunately, not even the Smiths can overpower M. Night’s lackluster legacy.

A director needs to seriously put forth sincere effort in order to make Will Smith look bad, or to put him in a movie that actually flops at the box office. However, I can’t honestly say M. Night put such effort into making Smith look bad because that would imply he spent more than 10 minutes putting this script together, and after seeing this film, I didn’t see a scrap of effort put into any aspect of this movie. As enticing as the Will Smith name is, do not let his star power blind you to the heap of garbage your about to fall head first into.

“After Earth” is as lively and enticing as the hollow computer generated animals in this film; always disappointing and always reminding us what REAL human emotions used to look like. Jayden Smith, Will Smith, doesn’t matter how many or few Smiths you got in a movie; M. Night can turn any star’s super power into box office kryptonite. The cast phones it in; Jayden needs more training in spotlight leading, boredom sets in long before enjoyment and the CGI animals look more a big piece of POS. Go see another movie at your local theater or go rent a GODO Will Smith movie like “Independence Day” or “I, Robot.” Let’s remind Hollywood why we don’t want M. Night as a director; and with every movie he makes, he gives us another reminder.

I give “After Earth” 1 star out of 4.
