Distilled Media Group and Schibsted Media Group Join Forces in Online Classified Advertising in Ireland.
Daft.ie, DoneDeal.ie and Adverts.ie will be under common ownership.
Distilled Media Group and Schibsted Media Group, the Oslo listed international media group, today (Wednesday July 8th) announced the establishment of a combined business, Digital Media Ventures Ltd., which will own the three highly successful online classified advertising sites DoneDeal.ie Daft.ie and Adverts.ie.
Under this new ownership structure, each of the three operations will continue to operate independently and will be run by existing management and staff. DoneDeal.ie will continue to operate from its base in Wexford while Adverts.ie and Daft.ie will continue to be located in Dublin.
Schibsted Media Group’s specialist classified media division has a network of online classified sites in 30 countries world wide. Schibsted acquired DoneDeal.ie from Wexford based founders, Fred and Geraldine Karlsson.
Daft.ie and Adverts.ie were established by entrepreneurs Eamonn and Brian Fallon. Separately, they operate several well established online sites including Boards.ie and thejournal.ie. Neither Boards.ie nor thejournal.ie are part of this transaction and will continue to operate under current ownership.
Distilled Media and Schibsted will each own 50% of the shareholding in Digital Media Ventures Ltd. The combined entity had revenues in the first six months of 2015 of €9.4 million.
Private equity firm, Tiger Global’s minority shareholding in Distilled Media has been bought out, as part of this transaction.
Eamonn Fallon will be the CEO of Digital Media Ventures Ltd.
“Joining forces with Schibsted in this venture creates an online advertising business of scale in Ireland with the capability of competing head to head with the US internet majors” said Eamonn Fallon. “Our combined reach is currently over 650,000 people per day. We look forward to working together with Schibsted, benefitting from their exceptional international experience and insights, to develop and grow this business in Ireland.”
“We are delighted to combine with Distilled Media and the Fallon brothers in Ireland”, said Rolv Erik Ryssdal, CEO of Schibsted. “Through this new set up we will expand our reach in this exciting market to real estate and we aim to further improve our position in the generalist and car markets. When the leading online classified sites in Ireland are joining forces, we believe we will be able to create even better services for buyers and sellers. We have several times experienced the significant value creation that can be made through in-market consolidation.”

Vào trang qs 88 cái là thấy giao diện khá thân thiện, nhìn không bị rối mắt như mấy chỗ hay nhồi chữ. Ấn tượng đầu tiên là trang sắp xếp nội dung theo từng khối nhìn khá dễ nắm, mấy ý quan trọng được đẩy lên đầu nên lướt nhanh là hiểu họ đang nói gì, không phải mò lâu. Mình dùng điện thoại 4G bấm qua vài mục thấy load lẹ, chuyển trang mượt nên đỡ khó chịu hẳn. Nói chung mình không ngồi test game hay gì, chỉ thấy cách trình bày gọn, chữ dễ đọc, nhìn không bị rối mắt. Mấy cụm hình ảnh khối thông tin ở phần đầu trang được gom lại rõ ràng nên…
Việc quản lý state cho các dashboard admin để tránh re-render thừa luôn là bài toán khó khi API trả dữ liệu về liên tục. Hướng giải quyết của bài viết rất thực tế. Hôm trước mình F12 xem thử luồng xử lý bề mặt bên Vipwin, thấy họ bóc tách component cực kỳ sạch. Data cập nhật real-time mà giao diện không hề bị giật hay đứng trình duyệt, rất đáng học hỏi.
Mình thường đọc kỹ phần thống kê trước khi trải nghiệm một nền tảng giải trí trực tuyến. Khi xem qua các con số được công bố, mình thấy hệ thống đề cập đến lượng tài khoản hoạt động và số trò chơi phong phú. Trong quá trình tìm hiểu thêm về hit club mình nhận thấy cấu trúc nội dung được xây dựng mạch lạc, giúp người dùng dễ theo dõi. Giao diện nhìn gọn gàng và thân thiện. Cá nhân mình cảm thấy cách trình bày khá rõ ràng.
https://www.75bd.app/ showed up while I was scrolling a discussion, so I just tapped in out of curiosity to see what the interface looked like. It’s actually pretty easy to get your bearings right away—nothing feels buried, and the layout doesn’t make you work to find where to click next. I’m not even trying to dive deep into the content, but I appreciated that the page isn’t one giant wall of text. Stuff is broken up into neat chunks, so you can skim without losing your place. On my phone it felt snappy enough switching between areas, and the whole thing stayed readable without weird clutter. The menu placement is obvious and the content is separated into clean blocks you can…
Quá trình xử lý giao diện bề mặt đòi hỏi bộ code HTML/CSS phải thật sạch để không làm nghẽn luồng chính (main thread) của trình duyệt. Bài viết đã bóc tách chi tiết về cách loại bỏ các đoạn script dư thừa cản trở quá trình kết xuất. Khi tham khảo cấu trúc tĩnh tại sun win, có thể thấy họ phân lớp layout rất khoa học và quản lý các thẻ siêu dữ liệu (metadata) gọn gàng. Logic hiển thị được tách bạch rõ ràng giúp tốc độ render trang gần như tức thời, mang lại trải nghiệm tương tác liền mạch.
