Does anybody know ad providers for Windows 8 apps apart from MS and AdDuplex? I'd love to find another one since AdDuplex is simply not working. I'm currently implementing ih-house apps functionality but would rather use a ready one like AdMob's one for example.
On Windows 8 you only have support for
PubCenter
AdDuplex
Inmobi
All the rest are "currently" only available for Windows Phone
However in AdRotator we were able to get most of that list to work through their WebAPI's and we plan to expand WebAPI support to all platforms in AdRotator V2 (http://getadrotator.codeplex.com)
Leadbolt can also be used:
http://www.leadbolt.com/blog/2013/06/official-launch-of-leadbolt-windows-8-sdk
If you have used some of them, please share the results you're getting (fill rate, eCPM).
Thanks.
As far as I know only Microsoft pub center and adduplex were available. now also inmobi provides SDK for advertisements for w8 (js+xaml)
I've been using leadbolt in the last week with this results:
Views/Imps Clicks ECPM EPC CTR Revenue
12,600 128 $0.00 $0.00 1.02% $0.00
Let's sum up: 12600 impressions with 0 revenue.
I'll try inmobi very soon and I'll let you know!!!
MediaBrix, Inmobi, MS ads, LeadBolt etc. have ads. Checkout the list at http://services.windowsstore.com and filter by Advertising.
Also note that ADTECH has recently mentioned in their site that they have a new Windows 8 SDK. http://www.adtech.com/en/
See a list below. More info here.
AdRotator
Microsoft PubCenter
AdDuplex
Google AdMob
Inner-Active / Nokia Ad Exchange
MobFox
Smaato (Not for Non Location aware projects, see above link)
Default House Ads - A project based Ad the developer implements (docs pending)
Support for no ad display
Both Location Aware and Non Location Aware libs now available
I've been using Leadbolt and PubCenter for a while, with very poor results in revenue. A few weeks ago I discovered DesktopAd (www.desktopad.com) which gives me 10x the revenue than I was receiving with PubCenter, and also a fill rate almost 100%. For Windows 8 developers it's worth to give it a try.

I have an app published in the Windows store with pubcenter ads but after the recent drop in fill rates (see here) these adverts a providing effectively no revenue (maybe £0.01 in a day occasionally). I wonder if any one knows of any alternatives for advertising.
I have looked at inmobi but their sdk seems to only have out of date documentation that does not work. AdDuplex is also not an option as it is not available for HTML/JS apps.
There are many different PubCenter Alternatives like:
AdDuplex (included with the release as a NuGet package)
Inmobi
Smaato
Google AdMob
MobFox
Inneractive
After you can use an AdRotatorV2 for Windows Phone (https://github.com/Adrotator/AdrotatorV2) which allows you so show different ads and also home made ads.
Personally I use PubCenter and AdDuplex.
You can submit your app into differents advertising such as Smatoo or ad Exchanges like adDuplex.
An ad exchange is a marketplace which allows buying and selling advertisements online in real time. The ad exchanges allow applicants spaces (eg advertisers or agencies) and suppliers, comparing real-time supply and demand advertising and automate the buying and selling spaces publicitaires.Ils also allow, once the defined criteria, almost completely automate the implementation of campaigns.
You can also use Adrotator which allows you to change advertising rule if it does not send you any advertisements. Hope this help you.
I think other ad providers will make sdk for Windows 8 apps once the platform gets more succes. Pubcenter will have to fix things or developers will flock away. Microsoft knows this I suppose...
There is an promotion platform http://adshufflr.com. It shows advertisement, when Pubcenter fails to provide ad.
The best part: only 2 line changes are required to add this network as fallback.
For every 10 ads displayed in your app, you get credit for 9 ads. Which is used in promoting your app.
This all i can say as i am using AdShufflr. Started seeing increase in app downloads

This is my very first post in Stackoverflow, but I've found this site very useful.
Here is my first question.
I've been searching the web for an answer for a while now. I've contacted Titanium and no luck.
Why should users have an account with Titanium?
Do you have to buy another account than "FREE" to be able to use full Titanium functionality?
Do you have to buy an account to be able to release your app?
Thanks in advance.
The Titanium framework is free and open source. You do not need to be a premium user to build apps with the Titanium framework and/or distribute the apps.
The only reason you may want to be a Titanium premium user is for dedicated support and the Ti+ Modules. There is a forum where you can get support and of course stackoverflow (all for free)! The Ti+ modules extend the core functionality of Titanium with for example in-app payments. You can of course write your own module if you know a little Objective-C to get around this.
Bottom line is, i've found it more than superb for building a large majority of apps I've had to build and i'm not a premium user. The documentation is sound. And for in-app payments I've rolled my own module, which I am going to open source in the next few weeks.
Leon from what I've been told a Titanium account is for fast support. A recent tweet from the team suggest they are not getting the number of sales they'd like due to current high pricing. I haven't personally distributed an app but I can't imagine an account would be required especially since you can build for the device straight from xCode or command line if needed using the build/ folder. I'm sure some other people here will have some better advice then me in this category but I hope this helps.

we're working with a client who's parent company is using intershop enfinity 6 as a shopping platform with each sub-brand using their own shops, but they are connected to the "mothership" via some form of api.
now i am facing several problems:
i have no influence on what software is used whatsoever, so i know enfinity is probably a pain in the ass but i have to live with that
i will be old and grey until they manage to get me some contact or documentation from the parent company's it department
apparently there is no chance of acquiring documentation from intershop without being a registered customer. at least i found nothing on their site but the brief mention of "modularity"...
all i want to do is to look up what kind of api (or whatever they use to implement shopping functionality on other sites) this is and if it is in some way standardized, etc... any info helps.
is there anyone with experience on this? i'm sure to get some specs someday but it would be nice to come a bit prepared.
thanks in advance,
anton
You get detailed information only if you have a support / customer account with Intershop. Or you get your hands on an install DVD provided by your client - there you can find a whole set of documents and API documentation. The best information until then would be visiting http://www.intershop.com/enfinity-functionality.html - but it just talk about features, not technology.
(Disclaimer: I work for Intershop)

Just wondering. I'm looking to build a small web application with a single page. It will essentially be a video chat page so I'm looking for an API I can use or any other solutions?
This would be run on a LAMP stack.
A SO search reveals lots of similar questions which are worth checking/contributing to.
It depends if you want something free or are prepared to pay but some things that come up are (mind I havent used any of these myself):
http://www.tokbox.com/
http://code.google.com/apis/talk/open_communications.html#developer
http://www.process-one.net/en/blogs/article/oneteam_media_server_by_processone
https://sites.google.com/site/webrtc/ (Now at: https://webrtc.org/ )
https://www.skype.com/en/developer/
http://farsight.freedesktop.org/wiki/
https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/video
Some MS libraries are mentioned here: Developing a Video Chat Application with high quality video streaming
Apple had promised to open up FaceTime but so far nothing has happened
To get up and running quickly it seems tokbox would be most suitable.
Look into WebRTC, it's a new technology by Google and doesn't require any plugins! It's still under development but the code is available and working at the moment!
I know it's a bit of advert, but you could try to look into http://www.addlive.com. We offer comprehensive set of APIs allowing you to build RTC apps on the web (JS bindings on top of a plug-in and native WebRTC if available) and native mobile and dekstop SDKs.
Vidyo.io can help with this. (Full disclosure: I work for Vidyo.) It provides a simple JavaScript API that supports WebRTC capable browsers and a plug-in for Safari and IE. We also have sample apps on our github page https://github.com/vidyo to help you create a page simile to what you're looking for.

This weekend I installed Windows 7 (brilliant!) and there I found this genious tool called Problem Steps Recorder. Apparently a tool that came with the beta bug reporting tool thingy.
I am currently trying to document some application usages for other developers. (In this exact case, how to get Showplan XML Statistics in SQL Profiler and some basic usage of Database Engine Tuning Advisor). And I was thinking that a tool like that Problem Steps Recorder with be perfect for this! Only problem is that it is only in windows 7 (?) and the output is an mht file which also contains some general bug issue text etc...
Anyways, does anyone know if this tool is available in a more general version? Or if there are some free and smooth alternatives which does kind of the same thing for Vista (and other windows versions if possible)?
Maybe Wink is your answer.
I'm looking for a better capture tool for both user documentation and reporting bugs. The best "steps recorder" that I've seen is bundled with Testuff. Their Test Runner app lets you select a region to record (video). It captures every mouse click and logs every key press along side the video playback. Of course, it's designed only for reporting bugs to a development team.
I'm still using SnagIt (cheap, not free) for capturing screens and adding annotations. I also have Camtasia, but that's definitely not "free" as you requested :)
I just stumbled upon 'Imago recorder', available via various software / download sites. It's not pretty but it does the trick and it's free.
It's currentyl available here
Additional option you should definitely pay attention to is StepsToReproduce. There are several options for recording (screen/window/region) and nice powerful annotation tools. And it's also free!
