Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Riddhi Kharkia] lready started executing on the solid strategies with respect to mobile technology. For Facebook, there are already 1 billion monthly active users on mobile, and mobile has a dominant influence on each of the company's strategies.

  In the fourth quarter, 2013 earnings call of the company, this is what the CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to say regarding the business of Facebook:

  "Overall, 2013 was an important year for us. If 2012 was the year we turned our core product into a mobile product, then 2013 was the year when we turned our business into a mobile business. I expect 2014 will be the year when we begin to deliver new and engaging types of mobile experiences."

  Mobile Is the Pivot

  Thus, it is significantly clear that the company is hard focused on expanding its business in the lines of mobile technology. In fact, the acquisition of Whatsapp, an Internet messaging service, for a whopping $19 billion was done with the motive of expanding its mobile reach. While a score of analysts criticized the deal as overvalued, it was but a small step in building a colossal business. Let me give a few significant numbers related to growth and share of mobile in Facebook's overall business.

  Of Facebook's overall daily active users, only 55% access it from their mobiles: That's around 441 million people. Meanwhile, the separate Instagram and Facebook Messenger apps each have more than 200 million monthly active users, with WhatsApp – bought by Facebook for $19 billion earlier this year – already used by 500 million people.

  This is translating into more money for Facebook through advertising: 59% of its $2.3 billion of ad revenues in the first quarter of this year came from mobile, a proportion that stood at 30% in the first quarter of 2013, and just 14% in the third quarter of ! 2012.

  Daniel Acker/Bloomberg via Getty Images | Amazon.com (AMZN) launched a new streaming music service on Thursday as part of its $99 Prime subscription service that includes free video streaming and free delivery. Overnight the company launched a web page seemingly announcing the new service. "Prime Music" would offer unlimited, ad-free streaming, free with Amazon Prime, according to the site. The company didn't provide further information. Amazon's head of digital music, Steve Boom, told Reuters that because the service is free with Prime, it offers more bang per buck than stand alone streaming services that can cost $10 a month. "If there area few tracks you want to buy, the cost of doing that in our store will be dramatically less than paying $120 a year for, frankly, a lot of music people don't listen to," Boom said in an interview with the news agency. The variety of music offered is expected to be wide but not deep, and wouldn't include the newest hits given a six-month delay after albums are launched. One industry insider called the new service "playlist heavy." Amazon hasn't responded to requests for comment, but a number of industry sources confirm that deals are inked and the press releases have been written. Both Sony Music and Warner Music Group have signed deals to license their music -- neither have commented -- but Universal Music Group, the world's largest music label, isn't on board. There's no question that Amazon is already a huge player in the music business, selling music downloads. But with Apple (AAPL) spending $3 billion to buy Beats and its efforts behind iTunes Radio, and Google (GOOG) with its Play Music Store in reported talks to buy music service Songza, Amazon is under pressure to do more. One source said that while Amazon's launch of streaming music for prime is "certainl! y not a g! ame changer, it's a step in the right direction." Labels and artists are particularly interested because the 'Prime' service is high visibility
