Snapchat Adds to Native Ad Arsenal With Sponsored Lens
Snapchat's ad formats are growing ever closer to its traditional content. A year after debuting its first ad product, one that siloed brands within users' recent-updates feeds, the mobile messaging app is now allowing brands into the actual "snaps" that people send one another.
On Saturday, Snapchat will introduce a new ad format, Sponsored Lens, that will let people add an animated, branded filter to selfies they send with the app. 20th Century Fox will be the first brand to advertise using the Sponsored Lens format.
To promote its upcoming "The Peanuts Movie," the film studio's Halloween-themed Sponsored Lens will add Snoopy dancing in a pumpkin patch in the foreground of people's selfies, Woodstock on their heads and an animated stream of candy corn pouring into their mouths, set the to tune of the "Linus and Lucy" theme. The system uses facial recognition technology to detect a person's face and then applies the filter around it.
Google to Fold Chrome Into Android as Mobile Becomes Everything
Google is merging its stripped-down Chrome operating system for affordable laptops into its Android software for mobile devices, a person familiar with the matter said.
The combined software will probably be previewed in 2016 and debut the following year, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the plan isn't yet public. The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
The move represents a unification between two software platforms whose dividing line has blurred in recent years, as mobile phones take on more of the capabilities of traditional computers. Last month, Google announced plans to sell a tablet running the latest version of its Android software that can also double as a laptop. Google's Chromecast devices, which people use to control televisions and speakers, already run on a distilled version of Android.
