Let’s assume you’re having a productive conversation with a colleague via Google Talk, right? Then you need to go out. Away from your computer. You’ve got your handset with you but it’s a rubbish one that doesn’t do Google Talk or anything other than phoning or texting (think Motorola RAZR). How do you continue the [...]

Youth: Text in Knife Crime Concerns
So I’m back to school this week; and during my free lessons, I often find myself aimlessly wandering around. I probably shouldn’t be, as I have mountains of work to do, but it’s certainly more fun. But it turns out my aimless journeys around my over-crowded school can come in handy… And I came across [...]
Do I resent my mobile?

I’ve been waiting for one of these. For a long time I’ve met lots of different people who have been working on the concept of designing a system that will help sports team managers organise games and player availability. I’ve never been a sports manager — in fact I haven’t actually ever played in a [...]

‘Help me’ via text with the Samaritans
I got a text message today from what reads like a young teenager in no small amount of distress. Goodness knows how they got my number – but it is public and associated with plenty of articles on text bullying services… So I’m assuming that they got hold of me that way. I got the [...]
Text to screen in Churches; Roaming to heaven expensive or free to all believers?
Earlier in the decade, I spent the best part of a couple of years really getting wound up by my shoes sticking to the floor in nightclubs all across the UK with our text-to-screen service. Perhaps I was missing my calling. I picked up this note from the Atlanta Journal about how text is being [...]

Textopoly moves the marketplace with just 250 text messages
Steve Yzerman is a name that will mean next to nothing to international readers of Mobile Industry Review. A quick Google reveals that he was a rather good Ice Hockey player playing with a team by the name of the Detroit Red Wings. Steve has been retired since 2006 and is now President of the [...]
