Pay TV May Not Be Dead, But It’s Dead In The Water
Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-pay-net-additions-2012-11
Some people think the pay TV business is on its deathbed. These numbers from Bernstein Research’s Craig Moffett, via Peter Kafka, don’t hurt that argument.
As you can see, subscriber growth has been just about flat for the last two years. This is good news because it means people aren’t ditching pay TV in droves. But it’s bad news because it means the industry is stuck.

Facebook’s Revenue Deceleration Is Over! (FB)

The reason Facebook tanked after its IPO is that revenue growth decelerated for the past several quarters.
That’s not good for a story with Facebook’s revenue and profit multiples. It needs to be growing very fast.
So it was very good news for Facebook today, when it reported earnings that showed the company has finally stabilized revenue growth – 32% last quarter and 32% this quarter. You can see this in the chart below.
What this chart doesn’t show is the even better news that Facebook has actually re-accelerated its advertising revenues – up to 32% y/y this quarter from 28% y/y last quarter.

Instagram’s Runaway Growth
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg bought Instagram swiftly over a weekend, seemingly on a whim. But it has proven to be a wise investment. According to ComScore, Instagram accounts for one in five of the monthly active mobile users Facebook now controls. (Note: These numbers do not take into account duplication between people who use both Facebook and Instagram.)

This Amazing Chart Shows What Happens When A Tumblr Post Goes Viral
Union Metrics and Tumblr announced today they are cooperating on the “first full-fidelity” Tumblr analytics platform for marketers.

To illustrate what it can do, Union Metrics sent over this graphic of the way it can chart what happens to a Tumblr post once its starts being reblogged by followers. Although users could always see this information underneath each of their own individual posts, analyzing it was inconvenient.
Here’s what a viral campaign post for President Obama looks like once it takes off inside Tumblr:

The Biggest Difference Between Apple And Amazon (AAPL, AMZN)
Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-apple-vs-amazon-2012-9
Now that Amazon is going all-in on tablets, and likely to release its own smartphone, the comparisons between it and Apple are going to pick up.
Below is a chart from Dan Frommer at ReadWriteWeb that shows the biggest difference between the two companies. Apple, as you can see, makes an insane amount of money each quarter, whereas Amazon does not.
This is because Apple sells very expensive hardware while Amazon is a retailer who operates on very thin margins. Jeff Bezos is okay with this arrangement. He says Amazon charges low prices because it wants to be in alignment with its customers, who want low prices.
