Orange is rolling out a new service for its Orange World portal that aggregates a number of popular social networking sites into a single location, with plans to later launch a standalone app version. This stuff is pretty interesting for a number of reasons. I think it’s great that they’re trying to make things better [...]

Preach It, Brother Ewan!
Ewan MacLeod over at SMS Text News enjoys a good rant, often accurately venting his spleen at some of the stupidity that’s far too rampant in this industry. But he’s really outdone himself with his latest effort, titled SMS Text News – How long will we be trapped in this mobile hell hole?: Now and [...]
One For The Feed Reader
I always enjoy listening to David Wood from Symbian talk. I don’t always agree with him, but I always find what he has to say interesting and thought-provoking, so I was glad to see that he’s launched a blog at dw2-0.com. As you might imagine, he’s had a bit to say about recent developments in [...]

Holiday
I’m off on holiday (vacation to our American friends) for a couple of weeks, so I’ll leave you in Carlo’s very capable hands. I look forward to more blogging on my return, but in the meantime I’ve got some serious chillin’ to do. Toodle pip. Russell —–>Follow us on Twitter too: @russellbuckley and @caaarlo
If Viacom Wants To See All Our YouTube Videos, Let ‘Em Have This One

Check Out Nimbuzz — A VoIP and Chat Aggregator That Doesn’t Suck
I’ve been spending a while playing with Nimbuzz, a service that aggregates IM and VoIP for your mobile (currently S60 and Java). I’m really impressed, particularly as there have been so many other aggregators with similar goals that have failed miserably. It pretty much does what you’d expect and hope: you enter in your details [...]
Carnival of the Mobilists
This week’s Carnival of the Mobilists is at Andrew Grill’s blog, so make sure you check out the best writing about mobile and mobile technology of the last 7 days. Andrew recently asked a question from the floor at a conference in which he called me the “Grandfather of Mobile Marketing”. While I appreciated the [...]
The Walled Gardens of TV
I was speaking yesterday at the Broadband Connect conference in London. I couldn’t stay and mix as much as I’d have liked, but it was full of delegates and speakers who don’t often collide with the pure mobile technology and advertising worlds that I normally inhabit. This is interesting, as it gives some new perspectives [...]
