"Like seemingly every startup currently exploring an ad-supported business model, Waze has gone native for its ad platform. Typically startups wade into advertising by working directly with brands then erecting a self-serve platform down the road. Waze sped things up. The company began testing ads in its U.S. app over the summer, working directly with Zipcar, Best Buy and a number of fuel brands and convenience store chains; at launch it has added Procter & Gamble, Dunkin' Donuts, Wyndham Hotels, Whole Foods, Jamba Juice, CircleK and Kum & Go to its advertiser roster. The direct sales channel continues, but Waze has also set up a self-serve platform for its most basic ad units. The self-serve platform operates on an auction model with floor prices set at $1 per thousand impressions. In addition to a branded search result, marketers can pay to plot branded pins at their locations on the Waze map. When users click on these branded pins, they can click a link to the company's website, a number to call the location or-borrowing the idea of drive-to advertising popularized by driving navigation company Telenav-a button that would navigate them to the location."

AFK's app makes it possible for gamers to send in-game messages to friends from their mobile phones. Basically, though online games typically have to be accessed from a laptop/desktop, the AFK app makes the chat functions of games compeltely mobile. The company is predicting with the rise of app's like World of Warcraft's Auction House for iPhone, MMOs will look for new ways to detach functions from the gaming environment so users can have access from anywhere. Interesting marketing opportunity: where in-game advertising may have been awkward, advertising on top of game services (such as chat) may be more palatable.
