Nicholas E. Heller, Google’s UK-based head of strategic partnership development, media and publishing, will open the conference with an overview of the search giant’s future strategies for the mobile space. “Google's mission is to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. To that end, Google's mobile strategy is to focus on web based applications, provide super fast search and location based services.”
Now in its 4th year, Mobile Content World will feature over 50 local and international presenters. It is the only event in Australia where senior players across the mobile value chain come together to share knowledge and build a collective experience on how to create, deliver and monetise the potential of mobile entertainment services.
Leading mobile content practitioners from BigPond, Paramount, Fox Interactive Media, Yahoo!, Fremantle, Ninemsn, Fairfax Digital, News Digital, PayPal, 3, Optus and Vodafone will comment on the changing dynamics of the mobile value chain, the growing prominence of non-traditional mobile players, mobile commerce, mobile TV, the consumer experience, mobile social media and user generated content.
The boom area of mobile advertising will also receive dedicated coverage, with the event expanding into a separately bookable third day- the Mobile Advertising Day.

Playrock, a new gaming platform for developers, was released last weekend. The app is available in google play store and already include several featured games. The SDK is available for developers who want to change their games into multiplayer experience.
With playrock, you will be able to quickly change your single-player games or your multi-player games that users play on the same device/ VS. computer/ local wifi, with a multi-player gameplay.
Mobile gamers can create local spaces everywhere, for example: at classrooms, at homes or even in local bars and start playing together with other people who are next to them. Mobile gamers can also create their own personal virtual spaces to play with friends in an intimate and personal setting.
Benefits for game developers for using Playrock Platform:
1. Multiplayer gameplay: you don’t need to invest in a costly development for changing the gameplay of Morris Variants for allowing your players to play together against each other in local or personal virtual spaces. Playrock takes care of that.
2. Players matching: Playrock has local and personal players matching. Our spaces naturally match a small group of players together in an intimate setting. Your users will be able to find other players who are close to them or easily connect with their friends in a private setting.
3. Dynamic game mechanics: you can enhance your game mechanics based on the space from where your players initiate the game. You can dynamically customize your game based on the category of the space, the roles of the players or even based the users who are currently inside that space, making your game more unique and engaging experience to users.
4. Local exposure: Once users start adding your game to their spaces, you can quickly gain more and more local exposure, substantially lowering your customer acquisition costs. This exposure can grow into global exposure in no time. It all depends on how you use Playrock spaces for enhancing the experience for your users.
5. Playrock analytics: You will be able to learn who is sharing your game, which types of spaces your game is included and where. This will help you to know your users and adjust your game accordingly to increase its popularity.
You can find the app Playrock in Google Play Store.

United Games
Big shout out to all sport fans! Haven't you heard? There's a giant emerging to the app world in a few weeks for Iphone and Android! The project is so HUGE it already has more than 200,000 subscribers! Pokemon Go had 50 thousand downloads on its first day and we already have 200k+ affiliates and gamers joining in!
What’s this app about?
United games is an app developing company who is being mainly runned by Jeff Henderson and Mark Mongie (game designer of Madden). The company came up with the absolute BEST way for sports fans to interact with live games through an app. This will not be a fantasy sports app which makes this even BETTER! There will not be any ‘gambling’ interactions or any complex stats involved like Fantasy uses.
The company is pre-launching this app as an affiliate program for those who want to share the revenue that is generated through downloads, players and in-app purchases. All players and possible affiliates are welcome to join, but right now the only way to join is by an invitation generated by an affiliate. It’s a code that is sent via email/SMS text for those who want to become affiliates and/or the first players joining for the official launch.
Players who are interested in the code can send me a private message.
Company milestones:
The app will first launch with NFL and MLS, then it will expand to other major league sports such as:
NBA
RUGBY
CRICKET
NASCAR
MLB
NHL
I may have missed 1 or 2
Below are some pictures of how the game will look and interact. The company will soon reveal the full gameplay.
