Russell’s had a lot to say lately about mobile search and its implications and implementations. Mobile information company 4INFO’s got a great post on its blog about how people have been using its services… but it’s not exactly what you think.
Somebody somehow managed to confuse the 4INFO shortcode (44636) with another persons, and sent a [...]
A company’s come out with a new study saying that moblogs can reduce churn by 70%. Of course, the company behind the survey sells moblogging software, so I’m a little skeptical.
