Watch Out for Wandering Animals When the Weather Warms Up!
There are some animals that like to keep to themselves—they make a nest, avoid people and try to stay as much out of sight as possible. On the flipside, however, there are numerous animals that we like to call “wandering” animals. These critters have no problem staking a claim on your property, won’t be bothered if they see you and unfortunately, can become territorial in the face of an intruder—even if they are on your land!
A few of the most common wandering animals are raccoons, skunks, snakes and bats—all of which are quite common to see during the spring and summer months. It’s no coincidence that these critters are also some of the fiercest when provoked, meaning you should always stay away from them and immediately seek wildlife removal in Greenville, SC if they show signs of impeding upon your living space.
Knowing when a wandering animal is posing a threat and when it’s just passing by are two pieces of knowledge that every homeowner should be versed in. It’s futile to call for wildlife removal in Greenville, SC if a wandering raccoon is just passing through the area, yet many people often make the mistake of waiting too long to remove something like a bat, resulting in colonization and exacerbated problems.
The first, is territorial aggression. Wandering animals that have no stake in the area around them are less likely to become territorial, whereas an animal that is nesting nearby or intruding on your space will be quick to anger if it feels as though you’re impeding upon its home. Never get too close to any animal—especially one that growls, hisses, yips or poses for attack when you’re nearby. This is the first sign that you should immediately call for wildlife removal in Greenville, SC.
Another way to tell if a wandering animal is just passing through is to observe how often you see that animal. Again, if you spot a raccoon wandering around your property one day, that doesn’t mean it’s there to stay—especially if it’s keeping to itself, far away from you or your family. However, if you see that same raccoon day after day and it’s creeping closer and closer to your home, it’s a good idea to think about wildlife removal in Greenville, SC.
Because wandering animals are much more likely to defend themselves, it’s absolutely never a good idea to try and remove them from your property or scare them away. Always entrust this duty to a trained professional and make sure you exclude yourself from the situation as much as possible.
Attempting to draw an animal off of your property will almost invariably result in a confrontation, which is hazardous to both you and the animal in question. Be smart: call a professional who can handle any animal situation fluidly and safely.

Pranshu is a grad from NMIMS, Mumbai - hence her crazy love for Bombay! Loves all things art (and we thought she only loved MS Excel and Powerpoint.. oh and Dropbox! :P); is often seen doodling with charcoal pencils or having never ending design discussions (wars!) or convincing people to hand-paint one office wall. Has been dancing almost all her life and her most recent love was Kathak (built the much needed patience for handling the erstwhile corporate life :P). Before her passion for new technology and design lured her into Intap Labs, she was spotted juggling multiple hats at Sun and Pitney Bowes. A self-proclaimed foodaholic, she strongly believes that there is no love greater than the love of food!
Sachin is a product of NIT, Jaipur.We say product, because his dedication to work boderlines that of a machine! He believes "Programming" is second greatest pleasure on earth,because, undoubtedly, "sleeping" is the first one! He speaks several languages such as C, C++, Objective C, JAVA and CUDA :P and believes one should never add comments to the code, because if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand. :) Apart from programming, he loves to innovate in the kitchen while naively adding the disclaimer of "EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK". He started his 'corporate' life with Intap Labs and thanks God that it doesn't feel corporate-y at all ! He has been working across various Intap Lab products and has spear-headed mobile development for CultureAlley.
Shweta loves to dance, read, write, travel, work, and eat as less as possible. Hailing from the gorgeous town of Shimla, she’s a social cause promoter, and a highly eccentric thinker. Her true love, however, remains to be dogs, and has a “puppy face” of her own, when she spots one! Fresh out of college(LSR ), with her Master’s Degree in Literature, she scouted her many options and decided that she wanted a job role that was dynamic, fun and exhilarating in nature. Also one that did not involve unending hours of proof reading :P. Pointing out grammatical errors is second nature to her, so BEWARE! Having had a taste of CultureAlley/Intap Labs beforehand, she decided to take it up full swing, and is currently associated with all sorts of work from content generation to marketing as well as operations.
Jyotsna is the guru for all things admin so if you want to get your way around the site - be nice to her :) She hails from Rajasthan, is passionate about life and people and is a strong contender for the most garrulous person alive. Crazy about sports - she's also our in-house talkathon champion! An avid singer and dancer, she works with music throbbing in her eardrums, while nonchalantly miming lyrics!
We are looking for passionate and totally awesome people for Technical Associates as well as Management Associates. If you think you have it in you then please email us on contact@culturealley.com with a short resume stating 'Recruitment' in the email subject!

Can you find us on the map?
Growing up, I was always happy to be where I lived. I wasn't too far from in town, I had neighbors but not a ton, and I could enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. I never had wished to live anywhere else and as I grew up, I gained more appreciation for my home and where it was. You never really fully appreciate where you live or come from until you have to actually leave it; something I've realized after recently embarking on my next chapter of my life. As you leave, you can see the special things that makes your home, well home. You hear from other people what it was like where they grew up and how different it was from where you lived, or similar. I didn't find too many people with similar situations as me, that being growing up in a small town. The following are signs that you too, grew up in a small town, some evident more than others.
2. It's only a hop, skip, and a jump to your good friend's house.
3. Everything closes very early.
4. Everyone knows whats going on in town.
5. Going in to town is a trip in itself.
7. You can be in your yard however you please.
8. Getting dressed up to go anywhere is unnecessary.
9. You don't have to worry about getting pulled over unless a state trooper is in town.
10. Your town isn't on a map.
11. People have never heard of where you live.

Dany Heatley will not play for the Minnesota Wild tonight. He’s a healthy scratch for Game 1 against the Colorado Avalanche.
The 33-year-old Heatley, who is in the final year of a six-year $45 million contract, has seen his scoring numbers drastically decline over the years. Once a 50-goal scorer, he recorded only 12 goals and 28 points in 76 regular season games.

RTL Group has announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire control of the UK-based video technology company Yospace. The transaction is expected to close on the 1st of February, 2019.
Yospace has developed one of the most advanced technologies for Server-Side Dynamic Ad Insertion (SSDAI) which allows the replacement of existing commercials from a broadcast stream with more targeted, personalised advertising. SSDAI is expected to become the de facto standard to seamlessly serve advertising spots in premium streaming environments. In essence, the groundbreaking Yospace technology delivers the right advertising, at the right time, according to the rules established by the media owners. The Yospace technology currently serves major media owners throughout Europe, the United States and Asia. Customers include BT Sport, TV4, ITV, and Seven West Media.
Bert Habets, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RTL Group, said, “The acquisition of Yospace is an important step in building out our Total Video portfolio and will help drive two strategic goals at the same time. First, we gain a competitive, fully integrated and profitable solution which is key to further grow our ad-tech business. Our goal is to continue expanding SpotX into a leading, independent monetisation platform for broadcasters, video on demand services and publishers.
RTL Group will pay up to US-$33 million (approx. €29 million) before cash and debt adjustments in connection with the full acquisition of Yospace, including upfront and performance related components.

I was talking to Taryn and Calvin this morning on FaceTime. Calvin was telling me all about what he was going to do today. He was going to ride a bike. If he falls, he will wipe his hands off (something I taught him). He will play in water. Then he plans to go up, up, up, up a slide. When he gets to the top, 'uh oh' (which means he will go down). It was great. I miss them. I miss waking up in the morning and making breakfast for Taryn and Calvin. I miss early morning coffee with Taryn when the house is still quiet. Two more sleeps and then I am home.
So, just a couple minutes ago I sent the paper I will be presenting next week off to the person who will respond to it. The way these things work in academic circles is that you write something. someone else reads it, and after you have given your presentation, they get up and respond to you. You don't know what their critique is going to be or even what questions you will get. Honestly, it is a bit nerve racking and can cause me to worry a lot about what the response will be.
There are moments in life where you are struck my amazement. Life can regularly become ordinary and 'oh hum'. We get up and do our thing. We have a routine, not taking the time to appreciate the world around us. Then there are those moments where you are stopped in your tracks. It often happens when you are pulled out of your regular routine and made to do something or be somewhere that is unfamiliar.

Enlighten, Engage and Expand the mind body and spirit for Well-being, Self Love & Empowerment.
An educational program offering the teachings of a Yogic Lifestyle, mindfulness and yoga based on ancient Egyptian and Vedic doctrines of Tantra Yoga and Kundalini activation. Tantric meditation and yoga are a dynamic form of meditation movement that awakens consciousness for the purpose of liberating shakti (Kundalini) energy and stimulating the Chakra system (Energy centers of the body). In fact, Tantra is derived from the Sanskrit, tan, meaning “expansion,” and tra,meaning“liberation.” This type of meditation is in contrast to most yogic meditation as practiced in the West, where the goal is tranquility and relaxation. We go in depth with the balancing of feminine and masculine energies within the body to create harmony. Activating the chakras help in self-healing and rejuvenation of mind body and spirit.
Each program is customized to the organization and its needs as far as scheduling and duration required. It is designed to serve Health care organizations, Corporate and Government Organizations to help their staff/ employees benefit from self-empowerment, mindfullness and well-being.
Eight-fold Yogic path based on the Yoga Sutras enlightens us on the fact that yoga is just not the asana (poses/physical practice of Yoga) but a “lifestyle” that once adopted can help empower the mind, body, and spirit to regenerate and heal the self.
Offers the participants a connectivity to their own potential for self empowerment and a healthy mindset.
Yogic postures and breathing techniques used have been scientifically proven to help in detoxification of the body and improve immune status.
It encourages the development of a healthy relationship with oneself and improves confidence and self-image. This then fosters more mindful and harmonious conducts with one’s surroundings creating a balanced work environment.

Lt. Leigh Cotterell, spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard, had the quote of 2012. He was speaking about a 66-year-old Seattle sailor who was reported missing in the Pacific Ocean while attempting to sail from Kauai to Oahu.
The Coast Guard searched more than 200,000 square miles for the man. After a week, the Coast Guard suspended its search. The drama escalated as the family remained hopeful that he would be found.
Well, he was found. Winds apparently pushed his boat outside the Coast Guard search zone. He was in good shape and was surprised to hear about the massive effort to find him.
The Coast Guard is reviewing the search to see whether any lessons can be learned. One lesson is pretty simple for taxpayers: “How much did the massive four-day, around-the-clock search cost?” Right now, nobody knows or, probably more accurate, nobody wants to say. Air and sea emergency services are expensive.
The sailor is on the Big Island now preparing his boat for the trip back to Seattle.
I don’t know anything about sailing, but I do know about paying taxes, and I have a few suggestions for the government to consider.
Because we are a resort destination, it makes sense that visitors who are not familiar with Hawaii’s waters should not be allowed to just take off for a destination without special equipment on board. Nothing really expensive, maybe something simple, like a compass. After all, when you are on Kauai and headed for Oahu and end up off the Big Island, you need direction, especially with high winds and huge waves on the horizon. Why not invest in a GPS cell phone?
Even more frustrating is the testimony from his mother, who said 30 years ago he was lost trying to get from Fiji to Hawaii.
I asked a few seasoned skippers about the 66-year-old sailor’s challenge, because he’s preparing to sail back to Seattle. I learned that in Hawaii you don’t have to submit a plan of your trip in advance so that everyone who may have to search for you knows where you were attempting to go.
Airplanes have flight plans and so do cargo vessels, so why not recreational craft?
But then, it is a free country and our sailor has a right to sail off into the wild blue yonder. That said, if you wander off your compass heading for whatever reason, the taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay for your hobby gone terribly wrong.
I hope they send this adventurous sailor a bill from the U.S. Coast Guard.
I personally will track his voyage back to Seattle, and I’m not taking any bets that he’ll make it back in one piece without assistance.

Police have charged Andrew Hernandez with stealing over $20,000 from his grandmother, stealing her car, and assaulting her.
A 31-year-old West Haven man faces a series of charges after police said he emptied his 82-year-old Fairfield grandmother's bank account, stole her car and assaulted her.
Andrew M. Hernandez was picked up by West Haven police on the Fairfield warrants Monday night after they spotted the grandmother's stolen 2002 Infiniti in his driveway. He was charged with third-degree larceny, breach of peace, assault on a victim over 60 and threatening. His bond totals $50,000 and he was scheduled to have appeared Tuesday in Bridgeport Superior Court.
Police were initially contacted by a program coordinator at People's United Bank on April 16 who requested a welfare check on the elderly resident. The bank reported that more than $20,000 appeared to have been withdrawn from the woman's accounts by her grandson. The bank would call the victim to make sure was aware of the transactions and she said she was. However, bank employees said there were a few occasions when Hernandez brought his grandmother with him to the bank, and would be verbally abusive toward her. During one visit to the bank branch at Super Stop & Shop, Hernandez yelled at his grandmother as they approached the doors and pushed a shopping cart into her, injuring her.
When first contacted by police, the grandmother denied that there was anything wrong and said she was fully aware of what Hernandez was doing.
But on May 9, the grandmother called police to report that she believed Hernandez had tried to break into her High Street home, and that he took her car May 4 without her permission and had not returned it.
The woman also admitted that the incident at the grocery store had occurred, and added that Hernandez left her behind at the store, forcing her to walk to a friend's house.
The grandmother said he had become abusive and she feared for her safety.
During the investigation, police detectives said they determined Hernandez had been hiding his grandmother's bank statements and had overdrawn the account by forging checks.

In the early days of our videography startup we had a 10% down payment, with the remaining 90% due a 7 days prior to the service date. We then slowly began experimenting with 25% down, then the classic 50/50 split payment, and finally 100% upfront payment at the time of order. Overall, we’ve found full upfront payment to be both the most convenient for customers and the most efficient for our company.
At the time of booking, we haven’t actually performed any work. This logic eventually turns into a one-sided argument for split payments; most conclude that customers should only pay a reservation fee or some arbitrary fraction of the total. Then, upon the completion of work, it “makes sense” to release the full funds. It all sounds good in theory, but in practice this falls apart in a multitude of ways. Below, I’ll outline our experiences with different payment policies along with our thought processes. The result of 100% upfront payment has been lower prices and a better overall experience for customers. First though, a little consumer psychology.
Much like ticket sales and airline seats, a videographer must be scheduled in advance. The main difference, however, is that an airline will fly at half capacity or full capacity; thus, a customer knows their decision to buy has no direct result on the airlines flying or not flying. Similarly, consumers understand that if they purchase a ticket to a concert or movie, the show will go on regardless if they attend or not.
It can generally be said that customers understand the economics behind ticket sales and airplane seating. By purchasing, they’re limiting the ability of other customers; or in other words, they are actively preventing someone else from flying or attending the show. Customers sympathize with 100% payment prior to receiving services in these situations, along with the forfeiture of money when they fail to show up to the event or fly. After all, whether or not the customer attends the event or boards the airplane, the seller has reserved those rights / resources for the purchaser.
But somewhere in-between ticket sales for airplanes and ordering a videographer, this understanding of availability is lost. Customers are seemingly OK with forfeiting in the case of one-to-many service providers like airlines, event tickets, etc. However, in the case of one-to-one service providers, e.g., videographers, photographers, physicians, trainers, the customers expects the dedicated service provider to eat the cost of customer’s no-show or cancellation.
There is clearly a disconnect between how consumers treat one-to-many services and one-to-one service providers. We know from the airline industry that customers can be made sympathetic to availability economics; however, there is something specific to one-to-one service providers that makes consumers more weary of upfront payment.
The most common rebuttal is “how we do I know you’ll show up?” or otherwise complete the service. This comment is an insult to businesses who have built solid reputations over many years; especially since (from the business perspective) it’s far more likely that a customer will decide to cancel, simply not pay, jerk them around about end-product specifications, and ransom final payment for additional free services.
Customers commonly suggest a 50/50 split as a fair way to deal with this trust conundrum, falsely believing each party gains equal leverage in the transaction. This didn’t sit right with us because so many other services exist where full upfront payment is perfectly acceptable. We know that a business that “doesn’t show up” (or fails to complete customer projects) cannot exist in a world of free and open communication. Reviews would quickly surface, complaints would be filed with reputation trackers like Yelp, BBB, and even Twitter–quickly destroying the bad business.
Our rebuttal against 50/50 split payment was henceforth centered around trust. In the early days, we struggled with brand recognition and a lack of reviews; this ultimately led us to believe we may be experiencing resistance to full payment because of trust. But after many months of pointing to Fortune 500 companies using us, great testimonials, thousands of Facebook fans, and dozens of 5-star reviews–we still faced a healthy opposition.
In the same time, we have put a fair amount into advertising to boost brand recognition across the Chicago area. While these combined factors have certainly helped us, we just weren’t able to convince everyone. When customers were no longer able to argue over trust, we started hearing more outlandish leap of faith arguments; some would posit 50/50 as a more fair and ethical way of doing business, just out of principle.
There is plenty to be said about fairness in transactions, but we were baffled by all this particularly because our videography is very affordable when compared to competitors. In fact, 50/50 split with a competitor is usually more than 100% upfront payment with us. It seemed like a hopeless battle that would be ongoing with customers, but we kept pushing.
It’s obvious that customers purchase services for the times they are available and most likely to use those services. The big disconnect in consumer mentality (between one-to-many and one-to-one services) seems to be less an issue about trustworthiness, and more an issue of specific availability at the customer’s preferred date and time.
Many freelancers and small businesses (similar to our initial thinking) attribute customer resistance to full upfront payment as an issue of trust. However, past performance is completely irrelevant to a customer’s future need. Consumers tend to hyper focus on their specific need, and seeing it successfully fulfilled is paramount to their buying decision. We accidentally discovered this by converting by “productizing” our service.
We had recently transitioned Vanilla Video from a service you order, to a product you buy. This generally helped customers understand our value proposition better, since videography tends to be a somewhat abstract concept. Coincidentally, products by their very nature are at-demand of consumer needs. This simple change resulted in dramatic decrease in resistance; this makes sense when you think about one-to-many services that consumers are more readily willing or able to sympathize with.
Part of the wrong attribution to trust is small businesses copying big businesses in a monkey-see, monkey-do way. They see a big business do this, attribute that action as a part of their success, and try to emulate that action in a business a fraction of the size. If consumers are willing to pay airline providers, ticket sellers, and retailers in full prior to receiving the goods or services–they should also be willing or able to pay 100% upfront for small business service too. We just need to “get bigger” or get our customers to trust us more. However, big service providers have a key attribute similar to products.
The big service providers are able to leverage 100% upfront payment because they can offer service at nearly anytime due to their size and scale. Consumers know, regardless if they purchase service, the flight / show will go on. Fear of the service becoming nonredeemable is completely eliminated, just as no (or little) time-based anxiety exists for using a product.
Customers are naturally buying goods and services to match their availability and benefit. And there is an extreme time-related anxiety when it comes to one-on-one services. We can see bigger service providers actively mitigating these risks for consumers. Big service providers use money-back guarantees, issue refunds or partial refunds for cancellations, and many will reschedule service at no charge (airlines). Big service providers have found numerous tactics to reduce customer anxieties when it comes to using their service.
Very simply put, if the redemption or availability of your service is ever called into question, customers will insist on split payments to mitigate their risks. We probably all knew that though; the point is: customers face a lot of time-related anxiety. Will I be able to use it? How long will it be usable? When will it be usable? For many businesses, there is frequently a delay in purchase time and time of delivery; minimizing this delay greatly decreases anxiety, and significantly increases a customer’s willingness to make 100% upfront payment.
Of course trust and name-recognition are important factors, however, we’ve generally found less resistance to upfront payment by making our service more product-like, describing it in a fashion that is more “at convenience”, and by offering next-day online delivery. Arguing with customers over reputation and trustworthiness have ultimately proved futile. Linking to reviews, portfolio work, and references are encouraged, but should be lesser points.
Remain friendly, personable, and civilized. Reenforcing professionalism.
I explained previously that one-to-one services are more expensive because the service person can only sell a limited amount of their time. Being so, an enormous factor in pricing for individual service persons ls the frequency of their sales. For example, a provider may have $60,000 in net costs (50% for salaries, 50% for business operating costs); to cover such costs, they would need 20 sales at $3,000 each.
Our simple example makes a few assumptions, but the main (eventually true) assumption is that businesses need to cover their costs to continue in operation. To that end, businesses need to sustain sufficient cash flow, which can be more crucial than larger profits and sales numbers. There are a variety of issues with split payment, but none trump cash flow.
In the above example, what would happen when all 20 customers move to a 50/50 split payment plan. Should the business pay the $30,000 to its employee, or the $30,000 to continue general business operations? What sort of effects does this cash flow result in for taxes, investment, and saving purposes? The long term result of split payments may actually lead to higher pricing to deal with decreased cash flow.
1. Cash flow – Can’t stress how important strong cash flow is to the survival of any business. By allowing split payments you’re immediately thinning the blood.
2. Wasted resources – Generally, split payments creates a lot of wasted labor in billing and accounting. Emails, calls, statements and letters add a good deal of unnecessary overhead that could in-turn lead to even higher pricing. In contrast it is much more straightforward to take payment, and then perform the service. Billing discussions could result in a lot of back-and-forth, eventually intermingling or interfering with project-related discussions.
3. Prevent customer leverage & abuse – Customers will hold payment for as long as possible. Some projects may go through revisions simply to avoid the next payment. Furthermore, it’s not uncommon for invoices to sit <29 days before being paid.
4. Availability & Risk – Businesses are in some form or another limited by availability. By only accepting 100% upfront payment, you’re immediately alleviating credit risks. Changes in the buyer’s financials are very real, and could result in non-payment / cancelled projects.
5. Cheaper – It plain old costs more to accept more payments. Whether it’s by cash, check, credit or bartering; more transactions equals more accounting. This could lead to more trips to the bank, higher processing fees, and more things opportunity for errors.
The long and short of it is, split payments are an unofficial credit plan extended to customers for free. Customers are very aware of this, and it could actually lead them to purchase goods or services that are outside of their budget.
1. More thorough decision – When everything is invoiced up front the beginning, the customer should outline their goals more thoroughly, leading to less uncertainty. This leads to a better end result that fits within the customer’s goals.
2. Convenience – One payment is easier than handling multiple payments. It’s just easier to keep up with and account for, and requires less on the customer’s part.
3. Projects complete faster – Businesses have a greater incentive to throw their full support behind the project. It’s better for everyone to get the project done and out the door; customers are served faster, and businesses can move onto other sales.
4. Optimizing resources – Paying upfront is the equivalent to “Going Green” in the business world. Companies can optimize their workforce and dedicated a larger percentage of their resources to projects instead of double billing & accounting.
5. Better Service – Most businesses are honest, very concerned with their reputation, and aim to win long-term customer support. When businesses mess up, will will likely refund without hesitation and move into retention mode. A customer’s money today is valuable, but that customer over a lifetime is worth many times more. When a customer only pays a percentage of the total bill, the business has less incentive to treat them like royalty. And, under some theories, the business didn’t mess up “as bad” simply because the customer only paid a percentage of the total bill.
Earlier I mentioned some customers resisting full upfront payment as a matter of principle, with some stating it wasn’t ethical or fair. Ignoring all the benefits stated above, and refusing to get into any discussion on what is or isn’t fair, we wholeheartedly believe full payment is the best form of payment. It’s not about being right, wrong, or what’s cheapest / easiest.
Full payment is about telling our customers that we are serious about the service we provide, and that we intend to fully deliver a fantastic experience. Anything short of full payment is a representation from the customers or business that says to the other party: Hey, I’m not THAT serious, or Just in case things go wrong, let’s do 50/50 payment.
That’s not how things work here; we firmly tell our customers they will love our service, and that we will deliver on their expectations. Split payments doesn’t fit with that philosophy.

Content recommendation platform Taboola has joined forces with French retargeting giant Criteo to onboard a swathe of new advertisers.
The group delivers recommendations on content, products, apps, services and more via placements which show up typically on the footer of editorial content.
It’s a big deal for both parties - for Criteo, due to new access to premium publishers like Mail Online, Eurosport and NBC, while Taboola will benefit from a number of new advertiser partnerships.
Details of an official agreement have been shared following successful trials in the UK, France, Germany, Canada, Brazil and the US.
“Finding new advertising opportunities to enable our clients to generate incremental sales is fundamental for Criteo,” said Jonathan Wolf, chief product officer at Criteo.
The company may have recently finalised partnerships with the likes of Microsoft and AOL - owner of publishers like The Huffington Post and TechCrunch - but Criteo’s growing reach is a huge asset for Taboola.
Indeed, Adam Singolda, founder and CEO at Taboola, considered the news to be a “major step” towards the company’s core goal of connecting people with relevant content and products.
“Personalisation has become a key differentiator in enabling marketers to break through the noise and engage with consumers, and we look forward to our ongoing collaboration with such a leading company in the space like Criteo,” he added.
Taboola also has capabilities in data-based advertising; serving ads to users on the basis of what type of device they’re browsing on, where they’re located, their browser history and more.
Its main competitor is Outbrain, which has been making headway of its own, courtesy of new partnerships with Washington Post and the Inquirer, both of which were announced earlier this year.
