Infographic on Importance of Mobile Friendly Emails
The Email Monks team developed an interesting infographic on the importance of adapting responsive mobile email techniques in 2013. As 75% of the companies do not optimize email for mobiles yet, they continue to lose out on the ROI! With 43% of the people now reading and responding emails through mobiles and 97% of the people just view the emails once, it is high time marketers should use responsive mobile email design and coding techniques to stop providing bad experience to more than 50% of the email subscribers!

Google Demands Microsoft Remove YouTube Windows Phone App

Dear Mr. Brix:
We recently became aware of a Microsoft-authored YouTube application for Windows Phone 8 available athttp://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/youtube/dcbb1ac6-a89a-df11-a490-00237de2db9e. It appears that the application: (1) allows users to download videos from YouTube; (2) prevents the display of advertisements in YouTube video playbacks; and (3) plays videos that our partners have restricted from playback on certain platforms (e.g. mobile devices with limited feature sets). These features directly harm our content creators and clearly violate our Terms of Service. We request that you immediately withdraw this application from the Windows Phone Store and disable existing downloads of the application by Wednesday, May 22, 2013.
