eBay Aim to Hit Amazon Where It Hurts — Same-Day Deliveries - eBay Marketplaces:
The eBay Now service — available in San Francisco, New York, Silicon Valley, and, as of today, Chicago — lets shoppers order from local chain stores such as Target and Best Buy through an app. Delivery is promised within an hour or so. In the cities where it’s available, the service seems like a win-win for both eBay and brick-and-mortar retailers, who together are offering a delivery option that Amazon does not — and that Amazon is poorly positioned to ever provide if it stays dependent on its large warehouses, operating outside of city centers.

Social Media Marketing - Pinterest Goes Into Lockdown: Plans Three Huge Product Launches This Summer
This summer, hot social media startup Pinterest seems to be copying the idea.  A source close to the company tells us that in the next 30 to 60 days, Pinterest plans to launch three massive products: an official API, an iPad app, and an app for Android.  Pinterest, a site where users can save and share images and links, has the resources to go on this kind of attack.  It's in the process of raising $100 million or so at a $1.5 billion valuation, and for the past few weeks it's been hiring like crazy – poaching talent from Apple, Google, and lots from Facebook.

Over 47% of CMOs Planning on Spending More than 25% of Budgets in 2012 on Digital: “I’ve doubled my digital spend in 2012 vs. 2011.  New consumer targeting tools and platforms are working for us”. “Our agency wanted us to move to over 40% digital but we are looking at 30% ups from 20% in 2011.”
   “A number of new projects in early 2012 for iPad and Mobile apps for customers.  I’ve actually moved dollars in 2012 from marketing programs to customer service programs because that will have the biggest positive impact on our brands.”
