French Connection, (aka FCUK) no stranger to courting controversy, announced today a joint promotion with Chatroulette. If you’ve been on digital hunger-strike recently, Chatroullette is a service which allows you to video conference with a series of random sad blokes and their penises. Rumours of girls using the service are yet to be confirmed by [...]

Mob4Hire Taking Off
One of the finalists of last year’s Mobile Peer Awards in Barcelona was Mob4Hire, which showed an awful lot of potential. I caught up with them this year again at MWC and was really pleased to see that they were fulfilling their early promise and adding new services to their core offering.

Digital Trash II
About a month ago, I wrote a post exploring the potential downsides of the new hot topic of Augmented Reality. As a reminder, while I’m a huge fan of AR and have been for years, but that doesn’t mean that I’m blind to future problems, unlike many pundits who are busy hyping it up.

They’re also very fond of making the flawed assumption that every track downloaded for free would have been paid for if the free option didn’t exist – despite no evidence to support the [...]
Digital Trash
Hardly a day goes by right now without some new announcement by some new startup or established player announcing that they’re launching an Augmented Reality platform that allows you to leave digital messages to others.

Does Online Shopping Need a High Street Presence?
Like many of us, this Christmas I received a Kindle in my stocking. I had really wanted one for ages, but it was only recently that they were kindly made available to us 94% of the global population who don’t live in the US. Go figure.
I really love my Kindle. I especially love the ability [...]

I just put up a couple of posts that you might find worth a read.
At Media Week, I wrote about the amazing success of Pizza Hut’s relatively new iPhone App, that has already generated over $1 million in pizza sales. mCommerce has been a long time coming, but it’s arriving at last.

Meteorite Crash and Android Invasion
I’ve been writing a few posts for others today and thought you might like to have a read.
This one was about a marketing stunt that’s badly backfired in Latvia, causing Tele2 to lose its Government contracts. Not all publicity is good publicity – the proof.
I’ve also been writing at Media Week about the implications of [...]
