22. Circa 2010 iTunes Comments
Was hoping to see an easy app, that would allow me to
directly check availability, cost, book flights, check-in, and
make itinerary changes mid trip…This app does none of
these things.
How about push notices for flight status changes?
…a good start. But basically this is just a giant bookmark
that happens to remember your xx.com username and
password. All the actual transactions take place via mobile
safari…
…no real app, just a launcher for their mobile site. This is
too weak for a global player like XX.

35. Facebook and Teens
Having surveyed teenagers in 30
countries, they revealed that the
number of teenagers claiming to be
active on Facebook (ie. Doing more
than just “liking” a separate page on
the web) had dropped to 56% in the
third quarter of 2013, from 76% in the
first.

36. So, where are they going?
Instagram = 150MM users
Snapchat = 350MM Photos per day
WhatsApp = 350MM monthly active users
And then, of course, there is Twitter. According to Piper Jaffray's
semi-annual teen market research report, Twitter overtook
Facebook in terms of popularity with teens. Twenty six percent
named Twitter as their "most important" social site, while only 23
percent said Facebook was most important, down from 42 percent
the year before.
All the fun stuff is happening elsewhere. On their
mobiles.
