Wordpress for iPhone hits the Store
July 22nd, 2008 • Media, Mobile
The theory is that the new iPhone 3G is not a converged mobile at all, but the world’s first truly personal computer.
And here’s some evidence that this is true - my first post using the brand new Wordpress App.
It took under 30 seconds to set up. And if you can see this, it works.
Social networking to go mobile?
August 10th, 2007 • Advertising, Mobile
A new report from Juniper Research suggests that the world of user-generated content is about to break free of the PC. In fact, it predicts an explosion - from 14 million users this year to a simply huge 600 million by 2012 (shurely shome mishtake? - Ed).
The report also suggests that developing countries will be at the forefront of the growth; as late arrivers at the technology party, many have gone straight-to-mobile.
Worldwide, end-user generated revenues from social networking, dating and personal content delivery services will increase from $572 million in 2007 to over $5.7 billion in 2012, with social networking making up 50 percent of the total by the end of 2012.
Pop-ups: coming to your mobile any day now
August 8th, 2007 • Advertising, Business, Mobile
Yep, the scourge of the desktop browser has spotted one final frontier - your handset. Soon, you’ll be able to enjoy compelling marketing propositions as you wait for the 07.36 at Clapham Junction.
Actually, it’s a little more complex than that. It transpires that a few companies in the US have been trialling a service whereby customers download a small app, and are then fed ads with ‘genuine’ killer offers. The app learns: after a while, it should only feed the sort of ads that you click on, and not the ones you don’t.
Mobile Posse is one of the companies trialling the service. Its CEO, Jon Jackson, reckons that its system is far more attractive to advertisers than mobile banners…
That’s because banner advertisements are limited to the approximately 30 million people in the U.S. who use mobile Web browsers. On average, those people rack up four to five page views per month. Compare that, he says, to the approximately 200 million people who can receive idle screen ads from Mobile Posse, and an advertiser may see a more interesting prospect.
