UTR Mobility - Advertising

Rafe just asked the key question: what will customers tolerate for mobile advertising. Every one of the panelists answered with the same theme, advertising has to move from a push model to a rich and interactive pull model. In plainer language, instead of getting an ad shoved in front of you, you go and get […]

Under the Radar - Mobility

Swung down to the UTR event on mobility today. I missed the morning session because I had to go to traffic court ($122, no traffic school option), so I missed the search and discovery session that featured two of my recent favorite companies, Boopsie and Buzzwire, and the publishing platform session featuring Mobio.

OpenSocial Developer Journal

Over on our EnterpriseRSS blog there is a developing series of posts about what it means to develop applications for Google’s OpenSocial. Authored by Brian Kellner, VP Products for NewsGator, the posts offer a level of granularity not found in alot of the coverage I have been reading.

Twitter Event Tracker

My friend Criag Cmehil put together a neat little service that fakes a group function in Twitter. Here’s the URL for the website.

The way it works is like this:

1) Follow “eventtracker” in Twitter

Meta Social Networking

I’ve been using a couple of new things lately that are taking advantage of social networking not for the purpose of creating yet another social network (YASN) but rather aggregating the activity feed of the collection of networks we use or simply bringing them to a consolidated interface.

Plaxo Pulse comes to mind immediately in this […]

Defrag Connector on Facebook

This is really very cool… one of the challenges you face when you are traveling to a conference is knowing who else is for sure going to be there. The Defrag Connector on Facebook aims to solve that, and in the process shows us how the social dimension around events can be easily exposed as […]

AWS’ Zip Lock Mouth Syndrome

Amazon has a legitimate game changer on their hands and most of the thought leaders I talk with agree, Amazon Web Services should be called Awesome Web Services. In the last 2 days I have talked with 4 completely unrelated companies and at some point in the conversation it comes up "oh yeah, we’re building […]

QEDWiki Moving in on Mashups

I saw a demo of this today, impressive. 

Through IBM’s enterprise mashup maker QEDWiki, Strikelron will provide its data and live data tools to make it easier for the development of mashups. Operating from a set of data widgets, these can be moved directly into the QEDWiki editor using drag’n’drop technology [...]

Office 2.0 Conference

I could not attend the Office 2.0 Conference that started yesterday and am I bummed. The reason for my absence will be revealed in a post on Monday, but for now let me say that this is one of the pre-eminent conferences of the season because Ismael comes at it from the perspective of a […]

Mailplane, a Better Gmail Experience

I really like Mailplane for accessing my Gmail account. This is a great example of how someone can take advantage of the services nature of current generation applications to provide a better user experience than what the vendor themselves makes available. Take a look at the recent features added to the application:
