My principal interest in mobile applications is to push the boundaries of innovation to create uniquely mobile experiences. I hope my blogs excite and challenge developers to think 'outside the box'.

Is their an elephant in the corner of the entertainment industry?

I have just come back from couple of days at the ICEC 2006 and although there were many interesting talks I felt that one topic which was noticeably absent was relating to the rising DIY entertainment cultures such as myspace, mashups, blogging, etc. This put me to thinking that as it is such a hard phenomenon to define it may be it often only receives a partial acknowledgment. As mobile phone technology is advancing very rapidly and the integration of new technologies enabling this DIY culture should this topic not be up there with TV, Music, and games in terms of importance for our industry. In other words is it time to acknowledge the likely influence of DIY on more traditional entertainment industry and thereby address the elephant in the corner?
