Augmented Reality is the missing piece
‘Reilly: Web 2.0 gives way to “Web Squared” The combination of social networking with augmented reality and other technologies will move the Web into its next phase of development, dubbed “Web Squared,” write Tim O’Reilly and Jennifer Pahlka. The pair suggest this new era will be marked by social-network technologies that can interface with the [...]
Social networking entering the Dark Side?
A great profile in music, Trent Reznor singer in NIN, has split up with social media he states on the band’s forum. His post makes great reading since it really hits the spot on how you build a community online. A few comments down there is a great reply by jarretwold dealing with the backside [...]
Will we succeed to take the BS out of LBS this time around?
LBS has been one of the long lasting hyped functionalities in mobile services. One of the classic cases is the location aware advertising model. I am walking down a street, approach a Starbucks and voila I get an MMS with a voucher for a half-price latte. Only thing is, I need to be signed up [...]
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 [...]
CTIA roundup
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 [...]
Connect to mobile consumers in a meaningful way
For a while now I have been a fan of the work done by Graham and Josh at mobileYouth. I recommend their slideshows on their site. Should be required reading for many in the industry. As a content provider we are so often more worried about the physical connectivity to wap gateways and billing systems etc, [...]
Social Networking the SMS way
Hey, I gotta give my old Swedish “MaBell” a nod. They try to use old skool SMS to connect more to Facebook mobile. Here’s what FierceWireless Europe writes about it. I like all honest trial-and-error efforts. I rather trust someone searching the next big thing rather than the person who says he already has. This [...]
Mind the gap: mobile consumers want more control over the mobile experience
I just read an interesting study by Zogby at the Skype blog. It puts some numbers on one of the glaring anomalies with mobile media. The consumers is almost treated as an obstacle in the value chain. There is still work to be done when you read facts like these. Note: Study based on 3000 users in US, UK, [...]
More on smart pipes
Back to the subject of smart pipes, that had me going last week. All operators should open up for access to sockets. Then there will be a flood of rapid and stable multi-player games for mobiles. Take casual games. It is a category that has made it big time on the web. Look at companies like King.com [...]
Media exec note to self on strategy: mobile mobile and mobile
Mobile World Congress is in the midst of its third day. Is the Ericsson party tonight? What deal had that guy from Newbay say he had done last night in the bar? Is there a place to get foot massage nearby? I am sure the questions are many as the mega-over-the-top-exhibition-fatigue sets in. In that environment [...]
