Accept Connection From “More Bluespamming Debate”?
Some interesting discussion has sprouted around my post on Bluespamming from Friday: Ewan Macleod: It’s an ugly, ugly message that most consumers don’t care for. It’s then a hugely underwhelming experience — to be sent a 100×100 shite image. Or some blocky video. You have to pair with the sodding device. It’s just……… it’s a [...]
AdMob Hits One Billion
If you’re not from around these parts, you might not know that my day job is working for AdMob, where I’m MD of Europe. I try to keep that from impinging on what I write on MobHappy, but sometimes I think there’s some stuff that you’ll find interesting and today is one such instance. AdMob¬†served [...]
More on Bluespamming
Bluespamming continues to live on: using Bluetooth to distribute marketing content, but doing it responsibly, makes it ridiculously obtuse for interested users. So what’s a company to do? Ignore best practices and just bluespam, or ping every visible Bluetooth connection within site. Mobile Marketing Magazine says that a company was running a Bluespamming… er, Bluecasting [...]
How Mobile Operators Could Beat YouTube
Vodafone apparently plans to launch a user-generated video service at CeBIT in March, which will let users upload their own videos from their handsets, then pay them every time somebody else watches it. That sounds like a great idea… though 3 UK beat them to the punch more than a year ago with its quite [...]
More from DLD – How Green is My Company?
This isn’t specifically about mobile, but it does affect mobile businesses, as well as every other business - as well as every person on the planet, so please excuse the slight digression.   I wrote earlier in the week about attending the DLD conference in Munich, which is probably one of the leading new and old [...]
Lazyweb Requests
Two questions for all our lovely, intelligent readers: Can anybody recommend a decent blogging client, either for S60 3rd edition, or a Java app? Web-based service might possibly be okay, too. Second, what (if anything) are you all using for mobile VoIP these days? Just curious to get a feel for this and potentially check [...]
2007 Predictions – The Final One
Well, I couldn’t resist it and my final prediction is going to be about the iPhone – though it would be kinda cheating to just say that it’s just going to be launched. I’ve been thinking about it a lot over the last few weeks and quite honestly, I don’t think this is going to [...]
Bits and Pieces
Carnival of the Mobilists 59 is up at Xellular Identity, so go check it out. Rudy de Waele has launched a wiki to track Mobile 2.0 companies at http://www.mobile2companies.com. I’ve helped him get started with some of the intro text, so be sure to head over there, have a look around and perhaps make some [...]
Blogging from DLD – Part 1
This afternoon saw the start of the DLD conference in ole Munich town, which I posted about a couple of weeks ago. It’s probably one of the biggest and most prestigious¬†media/technology events in Europe, all the more remarkable as it only has 450 invitation-only delegates. This makes it surprisingly intimate and you really can be [...]
