Why Facebook's mobile ad exchange is a big deal
Facebook has unveiled plans for its LiveRail ad tech to sell video and display ads on brands' mobile applications, essentially creating a broad-spectrum online advertising platform. The site's user data could prove particularly tempting to ad buyers. "As more publishers and advertisers use Facebook data instead of Web cookies to target ads, it will increase the benefits of LiveRail for ad buying, potentially cutting out other exchanges," Kurt Wagner writes.

Can Facebook put a social spin on virtual reality?
Facebook is using its developer conference to show off the latest version of Oculus virtual-reality technology, but it's unclear whether VR and social media will make a good combination, Cade Metz writes.

Why you should give Snapchat a chance
Snapchat's vanishing-media format is surprisingly powerful, Jim Louderback writes. Its ephemeral nature harks back to the days when TV and radio shows were aired live and then forgotten, he writes. "There's clearly an audience, there's definitely engagement, and a ton of great (and not so great) media is being created and consumed every day," Louderback writes. TechnoBuffalo (3/22)

Korean geneticist Hwang Woo-Suk is most known for lying about cloning stem cells from humans, but he is reportedly working to resurrect the woolly mammoth. Doing so would require overcoming a range of technological and ethical challenges, notably the difficulty of obtaining intact DNA. "The problem with mammoths isn't freezing. The problem is ionizing cosmic radiation" that ruins DNA, says George Church, who is also trying to resurrect the animal. Wired.com (3/23)
