Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
Mobile, for the last few years, has generally been accepted as the next big thing. But if that is the case why is there no hype, no blogging and why are many of the articles outdated? Is there no one out there who is willing to step in to the role of the punter?
I have just read through 50+ Tech feeds that I subscribe to and out of those a single article from ReadWriteWeb focused on mobile.
There is no media talk, no thoughts or opinions and no strategies emerging as a result of mobile being the next big thing and I just don’t get it.
It could be that I am looking in the wrong place, but it seems as though people are either plotting and keeping their secrets close to them or there is no one with a clue. I am interested to get in to this a but further. Let’s see where it goes.
I think one of the main issues is that the USA is not a leader in this area of tech, so most of the sources you’re probably reading aren’t the right ones. I’d imagine that the euro sources are better to look at.
OK Scott, but where are those resources?? And if SA is so far ahead of the world, why are we not showing predominant leaders in the field??
Interesting… considering what Bizcommunity has been running in our Mobile section since towards the end of last year. All of a sudden, it was mobile mobile mobile making the headlines (whereas the year before it had been Web 2.0 and social media).
Anyway, go have a look (if you’ve not already done so): http://marketing.bizcommunity.com/196/78.html
Don’t forget to check out the Indian marketing as well.
Thanks Simone!! Will do that asap!
I think its also partly because we are all still trying to sift through the sheer amounts of options, solutions, handsets, OS’s etc. but im in agreement I have searched myself and didnt come up with much
