Survivors Returns
Back in the Summer of ’07, I wrote this post, which (among other things) speculated about how we were getting very dependent on technology generally. And if something were to happen, which resulted in us no longer having access to technology, we’d be well and truly scuppered. I also wrote that this was the theme [...]

Help The MIR Team Raise Money For Charity — And Win Some Great Prizes
Ewan and his crew over at Mobile Industry Review are trying to raise 1500 squid for charity. They’re giving away some nice handsets and accessories — every 5 pounds/$10 (come on, haven’t you guys checked the exchange rates lately ) you donate to the causes (Childline and the UN Foundation) gets you one entry. The [...]
50,000,000,000
As you can see from my artfully graffitied image above (Banksy, eat your heart out, mate!), a short while ago, AdMob served our 50 Billionth ad. This was quite comfortably within our 3rd birthday and is quite a milestone, as you can imagine. Congrats to all my colleagues at AdMob on a very fine achievement [...]
Another Winner from BBH
My main reason for attending the GSMA’s Mobile Asia Conference in Macau this week, was because the MMA was joint sponsoring the Mobile Advertising stream, where I was speaking partly as AdMob and partly as the Global Chair of the MMA.

You’re Probably Going To Laugh, But…
I think this is a great idea — a picture frame with a GSM radio so it can receive MMS. Nokia announced the SU-7 Image Frame a few years ago, but the price of the frame was pretty steep and finding a reasonably priced way to keep the SIM in the frame alive wasn’t very [...]
More On The Services Strategy: Replacing One Walled Garden With Another
How To Doom The Services Strategy To Failure: By enabling better experiences with the services your customers already use, you’ll create a much more favorable impression of your brand than if you try and force them into closed and substandard services of your own. I wrote that a couple of months ago in a post [...]
Happy Birthday Dear MoMo
Last night saw the third birthday of the London branch of Mobile Monday, so congrats to Dan, Alex, Jo and Helen for keeping it going. I know all too well from my German activities that it’s demanding and time consuming, so to keep the London end refreshed and vibrant for that long is a great [...]
