OMG, MobiTV is the coolest client ever
I am pretty enthusiastic most of the time, but I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about the demo I received today from MobiTV, who I am working with through Fleishman Hillard. Not only are the people and culture fun, smart and hip, but the stuff they are doing across multiple handsets with several different carriers is incredible. What I saw today in regards to their future releases just blew me away. Apparently, some of it was demoed at CES last year, but I won’t talk about the details, just to be on the safe side of the NDA.
MobiTV is completely focused on the user experience – working to deliver what real people want and need from their mobile television experience (and radio too). They understand what it truly means to be “user centric” more than any other company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. This is exciting on so many levels, but most importantly for me personally, because I get to work with people I like on a product that is extraordinary in a market that is going to be huge. Better still, the San Francisco Fleishman Hillard team is top notch, and the strategy we are working on with MobiTV is truly creative and insightful.
This is the sort of company I wish my fiance Kristie was working for, because they are going to be one of the biggest players in the global media industry. If I were not so excited about what we are doing with Social Media Club and the other projects I am working on, I probably would join them myself. Then again, as I was discussing with Stowe Boyd and Todd Parsons earlier today, I am probably as unhireable as Stowe says he is…

What else can you say about such an amazing woman? I only hope to one day be able to do the same in some smaller, personal way…

He actually said to 60 minutes “You guys in New York can’t get a hole in the ground fixed” – am I just overly sensitive or is that totally inappropriate?

If only there was a market for this last year we would have found funding for Insytes easily… Still no one doing it right yet though – but Digg is getting closer…

This is a great idea to get more exposure for Opera. We are doing something similar with the new Media Release Microformat idea, seeking best entries for case studies in what should a new Media Release look like…

Interesting premise – perhaps even a good idea. Is it time for keyboard manufacturers to remove the capslock key, or perhaps even redesign the entire thing? I will watch this as it evolves…

It seems that Sweden’s biggest political movement is being driven by a desire to “protect culture” (and to download music without paying for it). This seems a little odd to me, and a little bit extreme – but when the owners of copyright go to the extreme

CyWorld launched today. It is going to be very interesting to watch whether or not they can establish a substantial foothold. Clearly they will gain market share with a few niches, particularly the pre-teens and even tweeners, but only time will tell wh

Very good day, but too big. I have some ideas that could really improve on the next events. Lots of great non profits in the area and I learned some valuable insights in each session I attended, which were all very well done – particularly both keynotes
