The Importance Of Flexible Strategy

It’s easy in social media to find people talking about all of their clients who are doing well. It’s a bit more rare to find people talking about their clients when they struggle. To assume that you won’t struggle with implementation of your strategy in a social media campaign is a huge mistake, however.

CEO On The Go: Mobile Office Toolbox

It’s time to open the tool box again, and talk about tools for solopreneurs, entrepreneurs and business owners or CEOs who are always on the go.

iPhone 3.0 Update Brings Proper Mobile Social Networking Closer

The iPhone’s next update, 3.0, was just unveiled yesterday.  For all of you that don’t own iPhones (which includes me), you might very well be wondering how I can connect the progress of a single phone to the advancement of mobile social networking as a whole.  I’m going to explain, so try to keep up.
Like [...]

Mobile Social Spreading, but Still Stunted

I just got my first iPod Touch, and suffice it to say that I’m officially hooked.  In fact, I’m more than hooked.  In less than 24 hours, I’ve effectively decided that lugging around a Blackberry Curve with the wonderful Touch is too much, and that I need an iPhone.  Leslie called the iPod Touch a [...]

Your 2009 Tech and Media Outlook

Not-So-Mobile Social Media

Here’s a little secret from me to you regarding mobile social media and networking: if it is too frustrating or time consuming for people to access social content from handheld devices, they will simply stop trying.

T-Mobile’s G1: not quite Ponies and Rainbows

Of course, now that I said that, some bored software junky will design the “Ponies and Rainbows” app for the G1 just to spite me.  I won’t be too heartbroken.
Probably everything you’ve heard about Google, T-Mobile and HTC’s new superchild, the G1 handset, is that it is the phone that will revolutionize the handset industry, [...]

FaceBook Upgrades Their iPhone App

FaceBook released an iPhone App for the iPhone 3G a while back that had everyone underwhelmed. It shut people out from their favorite features and it made it impossible to make or accept friend requests and other oddities. Version 2.0 of the FaceBook fixes these issues and many more, making it a better application over [...]

Standardizing Mobile Websites Equals Happiness In My Pocket

There are days when I wake up to the same blase stream of information filling my feed reader, and then there are days when I am genuinely excited about what’s flowing through the web of tubes known as the internet.  Yesterday was one of the latter category.
