On May 31st the WebMontag Ruhr took place at Witten University. It was quite packed and there were plenty of talks – most of them focused on internet marketing and social media.
iAds are a great new way to create digital advertisements for Apple’s mobile devices. Soon, there are going to be more than 100 million iPads, iPhones and iPods combined.
