This week’s videocast comes to you from…

… Covent Garden.

That’s right!

We’re heading into the heart of London’s West End to film next week’s videocast.

If you’d like a shout-out, tell us and we’ll include you.

A note about shout-outs: I met a chap (codename: “Geoff”) the other week who didn’t think that we genuinely want to say hi to people and do shout-outs. He thought it was a gimmick.

“But surely you don’t really mean it?” he asks.

“Yeah! We just say hi. Stick in a link to your site if we can. That sort of thing.”

“But, I don’t actually.. I don’t … I’m not the CEO,” says Geoff.

So?

“But you can’t say hi to me. I, er, I probably need PR approval and they won’t listen.”

“You need PR approval for me to say hi to you on a Mobile Industry Review video?” I asked, eyebrows raised rather high.

“Errrr, ok… well. I just don’t think I qualify,” replies Geoff.

So I’d like to be very clear. If you’re reading, you qualify. We’d like to say hello — in the newsletter, on the site, on the video, whatever.

Send me an email (ewan@mobileindustryreview.com) with the subject ‘shout out’ and tell us something that’s going on with you. Or leave the email blank and we’ll just say hi.

Meantime, we’re going to be in Covent Garden tomorrow. If you’re in the area, maybe you should pop by and say hi on camera!
