N-Control to replace Ocean Marketing with… Craigslist? [update]
Update: Moisés Chiullan, chief sales and marketing officer for N-Control, Inc., got in touch to let VentureBeat know that this Craigslist ad was merely one in an ongoing smear campaign by unknown entities:
We did not post these ads (we found out there was another one), nor do we know who did. We have asked Craigslist to remove them, and they have. We have experienced a number of phishing attempts and harassment over the last month, and that’s what I expect this was as well.
Like I mentioned on the phone, all I use Craigslist for is hard-to-find DVDs, not recruiting employees. Rest assured that I have been personally recruiting my sales team for the Avenger line.
Original Story: If you’re not already familiar with last year’s Ocean Marketing debacle, VentureBeat’s previous coverage sums it up nicely. To make a long story short, a

Super Bowl Breaks Twitter Record
The Super Bowl broke the U.S. record for tweets, though it lags behind the 25, 000 tweets per minute from Japan after screening of the film “Castle in the Sky.” Other notable events prompting upticks in tweets include the unveiling of Beyonce’s baby bump at the MTV Video Music Awards, the FIFA women’s world cup, the British royal wedding, and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, spurring audiences out of a passive role and affording every user the opportunity to weigh in on broadcasts as they unfold.
Twitter’s global podium for observations and commentary about shared cultural experiences serves as an instantaneous platform for audience participation. Its surge in popularity for discussing important events points to a change in the way people process and

Watching the Super Bowl on NFL Mobile was 80% successful
Last night, I took the opportunity to check out Verizon’s NFL Mobile app and watched the entire Super Bowl game on my Galaxy Nexus. I’m a cord cutter and don’t have cable so watching it on the small screen was my only option.
After watching the game on 4G, 3G and WiFi, I’m happy to say the stream was a resounding success. I’d give it an 8 out of 10, with a few points subtracted for missing content blacked out on the mobile that cable viewers got to see.
What I liked best about the NFL Mobile app
The NFL Mobile app did an excellent job streaming the game to my phone. I didn’t drop the stream and the quality over WiFi and 4G was superb. There was noticeable degradation when I switched to 3G, which made it marginally watchable and detracted from what was an otherwise pleasant experience. The Super Bowl stream was front and center in the app, which let me jump immediately to the game and not hunt through older content to find the show. Once the stream launched,

As long as you are a Verizon customer and installed the app, you will be able to watch Sunday’s contest between the Patriots and the Giants for free from your smartphone.
