Bumping into Ajit Jaokar and Tony Fish at MediaTech and Ajit again at the launch of MobileMonday, Germany this Monday, prompted me to finally get round to reviewing their book on Mobile Web 2.0, which I’ve been meaning to do for ages. No excuses for my tardiness, but I have been a little busy with one [...]

Germany Leads the Way
MobileMonday was launched in Germany last night, with over 120 people attending the spectacular venue high above the Duesseldorf evening skyline. I was one of the speakers and uniquely, I was also a founder and a sponsor, so was very privileged! I spoke about what‚Äôs happening in the mobile web and Admob’s role in it, [...]
Smart (Code) Marketing
One of the other speeches I enjoyed at the Visiongain Mobile Advertising Conference was Martin Copus’s of NeoMedia. NeoMedia are a kind of mini-conglomerate focusing on mobile and have made acquisitions in mobile agencies (including 12Snap) and technology. ¬† Martin focused really on the technology end of things with some really interesting stuff from Japan, [...]
Orb Delivers the Real YouTube on Mobile
There was much chatter last week about Verizon’s new deal with YouTube, which boils down to a highly sanitized service offering a small selection of videos chosen as “safe” by a highly conservative corporation Рand all for $15 a month.   Nice try People, but I don’t think you’ll see much of an uptake, [...]
Surprise: Domainer Doesn’t Really Appear Interested In Building A Mobile Flower Business At flowers.mobi
At the end of October, the .mobi folks touted the success of their first domain auctions — the auctions that are supposed to be an equitable way of distributing domain names, and keep them out of the hands of “parties who would only sell them on the aftermarket”. They managed to sell flowers.mobi for $200,000 [...]
Cleaning out the Links Drawer
Some links have piled up, and here they are: Mojungle, a mobile media sharing service I reviewed and quite liked back in July, has put itself up for sale on eBay, starting at $60,000

What’s Your Mobile Strategy, Stupid?
Of the four speaking slots I’m doing in four working days, three were mobile focused. MediaTech was more broadly attended by people in technology and the media (which kinda explains the name of the event!). Therefore it probably represented a good litmus test of where mobile fits in with tech generally – or how focused [...]
MobMart: Showing eBay How To Use Mobile
When I was in London in October, I had the good fortune that my visit coincided with one of the Swedish Beers put on by the lovely Helen Keegan, and as expected, I met a great bunch of new people and caught up with some old friends, like the Future Platforms crew. I also met [...]
MediaTech 2006
The largest event I spoke at last week (by some margin) was Library House’s MediaTech, held at the IMAX cinema in London – great venue, by the way Рand ably compared by Mark Littlewood and Richard Youngman.   I’m guessing about 200 people turned up, who were a great mix of entrepreneurs, VCs and [...]
