Operators, it’s time for 24/7 Twitter service please

I took the above Instagr.am photo the other day when I was in Baltimore waiting to hop on a plane back to London. I obviously arsed around selecting all manner of different silly filters before deciding the one above was most appropriate. Why, I don’t know. That’s instagr.am for you. I snapped the photo as [...]

Follow-up: Silly Twitter competitions by mobile companies

Yesterday, I was distinctly unimpressed at witnessing how Motorola were executing their social media competition and posted this note as a result: Is giving a prize to celebrate follower numbers really silly? In the post, I wondered what noted social media expert James Whatley made of it. James is Engagement Strategy Director for 1000heads. He [...]

Is giving a prize to celebrate follower numbers really silly?

I’ve got a social media question for you this evening. Have a read of this tweet from MotoMobile: We’re nearing the 20,000 follower mark! To thank you for your support, we’re giving a Moto device to our 20,000th follower! Now the chaps behind the Moto twitter service are really smart. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying what [...]

This was the 7th incarnation. As I walked along King William Street I looked in the window and by chance saw a rather vacant [...]

I’m speaking at Devnest #7 this evening in London – come along

I was invited to speak at the Twitter Developer Nest event tonight by Angus Fox, one of the organisers. He asked if I’d be willing to do a ‘state of the nation’ mobile applications presentation, but customise it to the audience of (desktopish) developers potentially interested in going mobile. “Bring it on!” I said.

Vodafone’s ‘App Store’: Mobile developers respond

I just published Vodafone’s news regarding their ‘app store’ initiative — and I’m already getting questions and reaction in from developers. Here are some quotes right off the press from some mobile developers.

Mobile Developer TV is heading to Paris

We haven’t launched officially yet (where ‘official’ = deciding on a logo, implementing the theme) but the diary is already choc-a-bloc here at Mobile Developer TV. We’re putting on an event this month in Paris, France. I’ll have more details soon — but I can say that the event will be in the last week of this month and it’s set to feature some of the hottest mobile developers in France

Mobile Monday Silicon Valley rocked

May 4, 2009 6:31 pm to 10:31 pm Mobile Monday Silicon Valley was fantastic this evening. There was a huge turnout on an uncharacteristically rainy San Francisco evening for the Location-Aware app demo evening. Skyhook Wireless kindly underwrote the bar and gave a pitch at the beginning of the series of presentations, outlining their rather excellent range of location services available to mobile developers
