The next frontier in advertising is tracking users across their devices.

Advertisers would love to know your whereabouts based on your smartphone and tablet usage. Many companies are helping them achieve that goal.

Right on Target

Firms are employing a number of new methods to better serve more relevant ads to groups of people on mobile devices.

Look-Alike Modeling
Ad-technology firms like Tapad and Exelate analyze mobile and e-commerce data to create segments of people who are likely to buy certain kinds of products based on similar demographics, online usage and purchasing behavior.

Day-Parting
Google can serve mobile ads during specific days and times of the week, so ads can display phone numbers when stores are staffed, for example, or promote certain brands at night when people are more likely to use tablets.

Cross-device Marketing
The next frontier in advertising is identifying multiple devices used by one person. Drawbridge’s algorithms try to anonymously match devices by triangulating ads requested by different devices across similar times and locations.

Justice Is Blind, but Not Bald

Lawyers in hot, humid Hong Kong are fighting over who should get the privilege of wearing a horsehair headpiece in court.

Judges wearing wigs attend a ceremony to mark the beginning of the new legal year in Hong Kong on Jan. 9, 2012.

In hypermodern Hong Kong, a debate over 17th-century fashion is dividing the city’s legal circles. The city’s lawyers are among the last in the world to wear judicial wigs, those curly, horsehair headpieces that are a legacy of more than 150 years of British colonial rule. The affection is so great that one group of lawyers that doesn’t wear wigs wants the right to don them. The city’s wig-wearers are resisting.

The split over wigs mirrors the divide in Hong Kong’s legal profession. As in the U.K. and some former British colonies, Hong Kong’s lawyers are split between solicitors, who work directly with clients, and barristers, who represent those clients in court. The difference has historically been easy to spot: Barristers, like judges, work in an elaborate uniform of robes topped with hand-woven hairpieces.

For years, solicitors have been expanding their professional reach into areas traditionally considered barristers’ turf. In 2010, solicitors in Hong Kong gained the right to apply for a special status that would allow them to represent their clients in higher courts. But still, barristers are reluctant to embrace more curly-haired colleagues.
