With the market saying 'no' to Nokia's Ovi Store, what do you think can be done to change this?Whatley reporting in…
Founder of Moblog.co.uk and all round friend of SMS Text News, Alfie Dennen, has set up a new blog in lieu of the Mobile Web 2.0 Summit which takes place in London next week.
The weird thing for me (for a start anyway) is the name ‘Mobile Web 2.0‘ - so weirded out was I by this in fact that I had ended up dropping a ‘note’ to Alfie explaining my thoughts.
Well he went ahead and published it:
“When did we have Mobile Web 1.0?
What the hell just happened?
First up: If you ask ANY consumer on the street: Are you using Mobile Web 2.0?
They’ll probably look at you like you’re from Mars.
Second: These naming conventions genuinely drive me nuts. WAP. Mobile Internet. Mobile Web. Internet, made Mobile. Mobile 2.0. Mobile Web 2.0. ENOUGH ALREADY!
We may as well ask: Is this the year of the Mobile?
Just so we can tick every box (and seriously, that question is now, officially, a joke, you know it’s a joke because whenever anyone asks it these days the response is LAUGHTER).
It’s like when people carp on about Web 2.0. More often than not I find myself chiming in with something like: You know people just call it the web now right? …”
And so on. You can read the full post here. There’s a whole bunch of great content up actually (not including my post 
), so yeah - head over and check it out!
