I’ve written about microfinancing a few times in the past, most recently about Kiva, and now I’m pleased to see that microfinance has met mobile.
If microfinance is a new idea to you, it has really exploded in the last few years, ever since the Grameen Bank pioneered the concept in Bangladesh. Read more about Nobel [...] -

06.18.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsRaimo van der Klein, who among other things is a founder of the excellent MoMoNe (Mobile Monday Nederlands) has just launched Layar, the world’s first mobile augmented reality browser.

OrSiSo - Give it a Spin
04.29.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI’m attending the Mobile Marketing Forum in Singapore at the moment and jolly interesting it is too. Overall, the spurious “year of mobile marketing” (not that there is such a thing really - I mean when was the year of the car, or the internet?) does seem to be in the past. Brands such as [...]

Tweeting
04.18.09 | Permalink | Comments OffAs the beady-eyed among you might have noticed, I (Russell) have slowed down a lot on the blogging front of late.
This is partly due to being busy, but also a lot to do with that I’m Tweeting much more these days. So I subconsciously feeling that I’ve been communicating a lot, when actually I haven’t [...] -

MMA’s London Gig
03.18.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsSorry for the slow postings of late. I pulled the ligaments in my foot while skiing and then did the worst thing I could, by going to New York and back in 36 hours. So I’ve been hobbling around on crutches, trying to keep the foot in the air at other times and having frequent [...]

Flirtomatic Goes Analogue
02.11.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI’ve been following the rise and rise of Flirtomatic for the 3+ years since they launched and they’ve really pushed the barriers of innovation during that time.

It’s Big. It’s Very, Very Big! Did I Say It Was Big?
02.06.09 | Permalink | 10 CommentsOur pal, Tomi Ahonen, has posted a fairly long piece about the sheer humongously massive bigness that is the mobile industry, that’s a must read over at Communities Dominate Brands.
Tomi starts off by putting into perspective exactly what 4 billion mobile phones means in comparison to other media and consumer goods:

Podcaster Extraordinaire Available
01.30.09 | Permalink | 7 CommentsI’ve long believed in the potential power of podcasting as a medium and as consumption currently stands at around 18% in the US, it’s starting to cross from niche to mainstream.
I’d predict that this is just the start of things though and the big leap will happen when our mobiles have integrated MP3 players [...] -

Cloud Connect Starts Today
01.21.09 | Permalink | Comments OffI posted last week about TechWeb’s Cloud Connect event, which covers the hugely important cloud computing area.
Just a reminder that it starts on this historically important day, so if you can find time to drag yourself from Obama-mania for a little bit, check out the coverage on the blog, Wiki and Twitter. Yes, you can [...]
