Vodafone opening the holy grail?

In yesterday’s announcement from Vodafone we can get a hint of the future. Operator opening up access to their unique assets for content and service providers to create and deploy their services to the masses in a more efficient way than before.  It is not an app store.

Mobile has to show its green side!

Social networking hits it off with the mobilistas but not the advertisers

In a recent study by Openwave referred to here by FierceWireless, it shows that most searched made with a mobile phone is for a social network. Facebook and MySpace being the top ones. This is backed up when analysing behaviour as well, with plenty of page views per user for the same social networks when [...]

Why Entrepreneurs Rule the World

If you look for a short but good read over the weekend here is my tip: Why Entrepreneurs Rule the World – Professional development – Biznik. I can only speak from my own experience, but in the current crisis I feel I have a much better income security than people in big corporations. As my [...]

So finally, after my first stab at video from yesterday, here comes the written version with links and all. (Re Video: yes, I will use a tripod in the future. The Flip is so small that it is difficult to film with on free hand). There were a few thems the I picked up. Mind [...]
