Predictions for 2010 part 3: Mobile advertising needs to grow up or ship out!

After the prior post with the free mobile marketing concept, time has come to mobile advertising.

That does not sound like a very good setup does it? I guess ad networks with good sales force [...]

2010 prediction part 2: Retail will save mobile marketing. Warning: Free business idea included!

Retail has to look beyond coupons

In the Spotlight: BipBip

As I state in my mini blurb at the top of this blog I think the mobile phone is a great link between the digital and the physical world. I just came across a service that has the potential to be one building block in that world. BipBip is a simple service best described with their [...]

Polling most likely what-if scenario

Of the scenarios mentioned in my recent post which one do you think is most likely to actually happen?

2009 what-ifs

I do not find it very useful to extrapolate trends into the new year and making more or less safe bets about what will happen. I am not saying they are bad. A few good ones are found at Mobhappy and MEF.
For my own businesses though I find it much more useful to run a [...]
