An US centric view of Mobile by Marc Andressen

There is a really interesting interview with Marc Andressen on the web. There were two things in the interview which I struggled with. First he predicts the death of the print industry in favour of the Internet delivery and the other one was his glowing description of the...

Steve Balmer's prediction on dinosaur paper publishers in the next 10 years

I was fascinated by Steve Balmers interview in the Washington Post this week. The core quotation for me was "Here are the premises I have. Number one, there will be no media consumption left in 10 years that is not delivered over an IP network....

One Internet - 2 mobile worlds

I've been looking at the Morgan Standley Internet Trends report . Its an excellent report which charters the growth of the fixed and mobile Internets. One thing that has interested me for some time is that I've noticed that there are two worlds for the Mobile...

World "everyone connected day" 11th June 2012?

Post to Myspace - a bit limited

I read with interest the Mashable article explaining how to share content on MySpace from your own site, so I tried it. Unfortunately it is very limited. It does allow HTML to be posted but that HTML is altered before it is displayed making it almost...

Affordable data whilst roaming

Just returned from Barcelona where thanks to a post on MoMo London we bought some Yoigo SIMs, where the charge is only 1.3 Euros per day for unlimited 3G data. The network did completely crash for an hour on Monday but for the rest of the time it worked a treat and we were able to demo...

Looking back to look forward

I've been inspired to write this blog by an article by Tim O'Reilly in the New York Times recently . Basically he was likening the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981 and the openness in software development it spawned to today's open movements in Mobile. ...

Mobile Internet Growth Map

I was looking at the Internet World Map and immediately wondered if the Mobile Internet is different. We have the data- even better is that with Google Analytics running against our webserver we can make a video of how the growth of our service of Mobile Internet world has grown over...
