Mobile Food for Thought!

Comments (1) | Share

Tony Fish of AMF Ventures recently blogged about bothered 2.0, the issues of Mobile and the internet. It seems to be that Tony has a few different ideas on mobile to some of the big boys like Google and he sees one of the big barriers for the key players as being identity. The reasons for this.... identity information is something that most online companies ......

A confession from a girly geek!!!

Comments (3) | Share

I have a confession to make! It's going to be shocking to anyone who knows me well and knows what I think of Microsoft SmartPhones and HTC.... (not usually a fan!) This time however things are a little different. A friend of mine sent me an HTC S620 and I'm actually finding it really great to use. Everything is just really usable, the keyboard is small ......

TechCrunch UK - On Hold?!

Comments | Share

So a friend pointed me to CrunchNotes today and it looks like Sam Sethi has quit TechCrunch UK over a disagreement regarding Le Web 3 comments. Having not been at Le Web I can't say much about the event, but I can say that on this occasion Sam may have needed to be a little more diplomatic, I guess at the end of the day Mike and Sam will go in their ......

Little bits of Mobility

Comments (2) | Share

Well now that the girl geek dinners are finished for the year and DDD4 has been done, I am back looking at what is going on in the mobile space. With Le Web 3 on this week and not being there I thought I would see what is being discussed.

So were the female speakers really better than the male ones at DDD4?

Comments (4) | Share

I was reading Simon Middlemiss' blog post on his experience of the developer day talks, and it made me smile. In short he found that the three talks by the only three female speakers stood out to him better than the other 2 by the guys. I am just wondering whether the girls are beginning to get better at tech talk or whether they are finally getting ......

DDD4: A quick overview

Comments (7) | Share

Well I was at DDD4 and it was a fun day! There was a little last minute preperation the night before, just polishing off the slides and placing all the links in them.

Conference talks... small rooms... front row issues...

Comments (8) | Share

I have just noticed that generally people hate sitting in the front 3 rows in small room conferences, I'm just wondering why... ;) Are they scared that they will have to answer a question? Or are they concerned that they may want to leave half way through? Or is there some other random reason... comments on how to resolve this issue are welcome... The ......

MoMo Barcelona

Comments (2) | Share

OK so I was at the Barcelona Mobile Monday event. It was on at the same time as the one in London and the content of it proximity marketing. By that they seemed to only suggest the use of Bluetooth as the only current form of proximity technology. Unfortunately there weren't any new ideas coming out regarding the use of RFiD and such in devices to do ......
