We just got an interesting email in to MobHappy Towers:
Russel & Carlo,

Um, No, You Can’t Spam Our Subscribers, But Thanks

Congrats Russell and the rest of the AdMob team!
by Carlo Longino on 10. Nov, 2009 in Uncategorized
You might have heard that Google’s buying AdMob. My co-blogger Russell was, of course, AdMob’s first employee, and he’s far too modest to bring up the deal here — so I’m going to do it for him!
Congrats to Russell and the rest of the AdMob team, especially its founder, Omar. It’s been exciting watching them [...]
10+ Brands to Speak in Berlin
by Russell Buckley on 03. Aug, 2009 in Uncategorized
One of the features of many, many mobile marketing conferences in the last few years is “talking to ourselves” syndrome. This can be defined as a whole bunch of speakers (mainly vendors, it has to be said) preaching to each other what we already knew – namely that mobile marketing is going to be great. [...]
1.5 Million Free Books for iPhones
by Russell Buckley on 06. Feb, 2009 in New launches, Uncategorized
Google announced yesterday that they had extended their Book Search project to mobile, which means that they’ve turned iPhones and Android handsets into book readers. Which is a pretty cool concept, I’d say.
The portfolio consists of 1.5 million free books that are in the public domain (ie out of copyright), which normally means pretty old, [...]
Predictions for 2009
by Russell Buckley on 11. Dec, 2008 in Uncategorized
While we’re on the subject of Predictions from MobHappy, we’ll be having a little change in procedure for 2009, to reflect some of the changes that are happening in mobile. No, we’re not doing them at the end of the year or anything like that. But we will be publishing them on Twitter, in headline [...]
50 Most Important People in Mobile Content
by Russell Buckley on 01. Dec, 2008 in Uncategorized
Many thanks to the team at Mobile Entertainment Magazine for elevating me into their ‘50 Most Important People in Mobile Content’ for the second year running – very flattering.
In fairness, the list is probably more controversial than Maradona’s Hand of God goal in 1986 because it’s just so hard to choose such a list in [...]
Two Free Tickets to Mobile Media Investor Conference
by Russell Buckley on 27. Nov, 2008 in Uncategorized
MobHappy is a media partner for the Mobile Media Investor Conference in San Francisco on 9th and 10th December and a great speaking line up they have too.
We’re giving away two free tickets to the event worth $1,495 each, but there’s a catch. Firstly, you have to be the first of two people to respond [...]
Future Crime
by Russell Buckley on 31. Jul, 2008 in Uncategorized
Years ago, I read a scifi novel (can’t remember who by) where the author referred to an all-too-common crime inflicted on women. Saddo blokes would call them on video phones (while blocking their caller ID), with the camera focused on their genitalia and sort of gig about a little.
It actually sounds pretty harmless, albeit very [...]

by Russell Buckley on 02. Jul, 2008 in Uncategorized
This week’s Carnival of the Mobilists is at Andrew Grill’s blog, so make sure you check out the best writing about mobile and mobile technology of the last 7 days.
Andrew recently asked a question from the floor at a conference in which he called me the “Grandfather of Mobile Marketing”. While I appreciated the sentiment, [...]
