The Rise of the Demand Side Platform

Because advertisers are able to rely on more behaviorally-driven ad models today, which page an ad appears on is becoming less and less significant. Instead, second or third tier online inventory can now be sold at a premium price, not because of where or when the ad runs, but because of who is seeing it when it does. This allows publishers to increase the value of all of their site impressions without having to weigh in on a page popularity contest first.

Whether it be in a website, an application, or an ad, there is a constant struggle between getting all of the information across and keeping things nice and simple. People want simplicity. Businesses want to tell everyone everything.
Touchscreen technology gives us the chance to start pulling away from that and into a new level of design, simply by removing the mouse from the equation. Instead of a mechanically separate navigation interface, people simply point and touch.
