โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ“ˆ Online advertisers are expected to outspend TV advertisers by $40 billion this year.

That means 40% of the worldโ€™s ad spending is expected to take place online in 2018, according to new forecasts from advertising measurement company Zenith. Online ad spending first beat out TV as the biggest ad medium last year.

Internet ad growth is being driven by social and video display ads, like those found on #Facebook and #YouTube. Globally, #SocialMedia ad spending is estimated to rise 21% to $58 billion while video ad spending is rising 19% to $32 billion in 2018.

At 42% of total spending, search ads like those on #Google remain the biggest form of online advertising, expected to reach $95 billion this year. Online search and classified spending is expected to grow less than 10%.

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ Telegram is raising $1.7 billion in funding - and they're not even done!

#Telegram raised $850 million from 94 investors in March in addition to $850 million it gained in February. That's almost two whole unicorns in the largest #ICO (Initial Coin Offering) to date.

The company, founded by self-exiled Russian Pavel Durov, plans to use the ICO proceeds to develop the Telegram Open Network #blockchain, which includes the cryptocurrency #Gram.

Interest in the Telegram ICO has recently helped the company surpass the threshold of 200 million monthly active users, โ€œwith over 700,000 new users signing up each day.โ€

โ€‹โ€‹๐ŸŽง Spotify's first day on NYSE

Eschewing the typical #IPO song and dance in favour of a direct listing, music streamer #Spotify made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange (#NYSE) yesterday in one of the most anticipated tech-related offerings since Snapโ€™s IPO in March of last year.

If first impressions count for anything, Spotifyโ€™s first day of public trading was mixed. Shares closed down about 10% from their opening price, but above the reference price first set by the NYSE.

Hereโ€™s how things shook out:

- NYSE set a reference price of $132
- Shares made their debut with an opening price of $165.90
- Shares peaked at $169 shortly after trading began
- Shares closed at $149.01

๐ŸŽ BONUS: Here's How $1 Flows From Spotify to Recording Artists
Each song streamed on Spotify is worth a fraction of a cent, and the ultimate payday for artists is as dependent on their record deal as on their stream count. This summary, based on figures from 2016, examines the path of a hypothetical dollar as it makes its way to three types of artists.

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ’ป DELL COMPUTERS

Before it became fashionable to start a tech company in your dorm room, Michael Dell did exactly that. In 1983, he began selling upgrade kits for PC's out of his dorm at UT Austin. A few months later he gave up his plan of being Pre-Med, and dropped out of school to focus on the PC business. At age of 27, he became the youngest CEO to head a Fortune 500 company.

๐Ÿ’ธ See #DELL's first financial statement, from 1984. $900k quarterly revenue, 15% operating margin: https://t.me/PerspectiveIX/1170

Today, Dell has sold more than 650 million computers. PLUS for our postscript "How You Built That," how Hannah England turned a common parenting problem into Wash. It. Later. โ€” a water-tight bag for soaking soiled baby clothes before they stain.

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ’ฐ Fortnite on iOS made $15 million in its first three weeks in the App Store

According to SensorTower, Epic Gamesโ€™ #iOS port of smash hit #Fortnite has earned more than $15 million in its first three weeks on the market.

Fortnite on iOS is now out-earning mobile heavyweights like #CandyCrushSaga, #ClashOfClans, and #PokemonGo on a weekly revenue basis, earning $6.4 million in the last seven days compared to Candy Crush Sagaโ€™s $5.8 million.

Sensor Tower estimates Fortnite has been downloaded 11 million times on mobile alone. According to Superdata Research, another game analytics company, Epic made about $126 million through Fortnite in-app purchases in the month of February. Mobile sales will surely boost that figure in the coming months.
