Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!
Facebook is expanding into data-poor countries like
India and Brazil. Its biggest problem is to break down the barriers that keep
customers in third-world countries from easily accessing the popular social
networking site. That, and figuring out a way to generate revenue in those
countries.
The site spent years trying to grow its company
in the United States before figuring out how to make revenue. The answer was
ads. According to a Quartz.com article, 60 percent of Facebook’s users who live
outside North America contribute just 25 percent of its revenue.
To help solve this equation, Facebook bought a
company in India called Little Eye Labs. The company allows app-developers to figure
out the best solution to limit the amount of power, disk space, memory, and
data that their apps use on their users’ phones.
Facebook has had minor successes in Asia and
Latin America (see graphic below), but is banking on India and Brazil to help
generate revenue. Companies that choose to advertise on Facebook want to see
high return rates on their investments and Facebook continues to try to figure
out a way to boost those numbers in emerging markets.
Just as Facebook is trying to target new
markets, so too is Mobile Generated News®. The app enables news enthusiasts to
have a say in the content they see on their televisions. We are trying to
enhance viewer’s experience when it comes to news. If you are out and about and
see news happening, download the Mobile Generated News App and send in your
breaking news. If you have a story
that’s worth sharing, record it and send it in as well!
Search for Mobile Generated News in
the Apple App Store. And, when you do
that search you will see three new, MoGN Apps
̶ The Mobile Generated News App
for Citizen Journalists in English language, The Entravision-Mobile Generated News

Remember, if it is newsworthy, we will post it
nationwide and you will see it on the MoGN “Newsfeed” distributed to Broadcast
Stations, Newspapers, Web Sites and news organizations across the United States
and soon around the World. Mobile
