It’s fair to say that Google has a vested interest in encouraging brands to make better use of mobile, but it can’t be denied that it also makes a very compelling argument.
At Bite’s Empty13 event this morning Google’s MD of UK and Ireland Dan Cobley spoke about the need for a mobile strategy and how the technology is changing the way brands communicate with their customers. Kicking off with a stat attack, Cobley pointed out that smartphone penetration is now at 62% in the UK and is predicted to reach 75% by the end of the year. He also predicted that mobile search queries would exceed the number from desktop by the end of the year. Furthermore: Cobley also pointed to a CapGemini study which found that businesses that were quick to embrace ecommerce are now 26% more profitable than those that dragged their feet, which he suggests will also happen to those that are slow come up with a mobile strategy.

Last night Everplaces announced they're offering a new B2C app builder to business and bloggers who wish to create their own location-based app. The real value here is how easy it is to create your own app.
Their app builder leverages the current Everplaces service for content building where you can take geo-tagged pictures, add then add descriptions and tags. Everplaces was founded to be like Evernote, but for saving places. They've also moved somewhat into a social travel angle (allowing you to see your friend's and pro's saved locations and pics in other cities), but I'm still using it for it's original intended purpose. “Mobile marketing is in big demand” says Tine Thygesen, CEO of Everplaces. Thygesen points out that these apps can create longer connection with customers, which can be difficult in the transaction-based travel industry. Bloggers and individuals can also make their own co-branded app for $249, which they can use to create apps like "A Food lover's guide to New York".

Location based apps like Sonar and Highlight have been largely obsessed with what is around us right now. Ban.jo played in this space, but also allowed users to surface what was going on elsewhere. Thus it became a useful tool for news organisations trying to work out what is going on, on the ground in a particular city, especially during the recent US elections. The iPhone and Android app was a little like a teleportation device where you could see location-tagged public posts from Instagram photos, tweets, and Facebook posts from anywhere in the world.
But with its latest version out today it hopes to become to a new kind of location-driven browser which lets the user look at what is happening at any point on the globe in real time. The sinuous new interface now truly emphasizes photos and tweets in real time from any location. One use case is: you know you are flying to a city tomorrow. This looks like it might be a masterstroke from Banjo. Banjo says the new features include: Wine Sisterhood Digital Minute with Aliza Sherman: Corkbin.

Lessons From An App Launch - Kamil Tusznio. My Minutes hit the App Store the evening of August 28. I was out to dinner with some friends when I received the 'Status changed to in-review' email from Apple. It took the reviewer about 20 minutes to make the app available for sale. My app had gone live with very little warning. That night I touched up my landing page a bit tried to get some sleep.
The day itself The next morning I started emailing iPhone app and niche productivity bloggers about My Minutes. Around 1 p.m. Around 2 p.m. The amount of support and kind comments that came in really made my day (and 6 weeks of working on the app). A few posts on HN had previously complained about how poorly product launches were being received by the community. All of the big tech blogs, unsurprisingly, never got back to me. A number of productivity bloggers responded and took a look at my app. Numbers The traffic dip continued and traffic to the landing page has been tiny since the launch stories died out.

Five ways the mobile revolution impacts your blog. Every single day your blog is becoming less useful and relevant … and there is nothing you can do about it. Today, about 28% of Americans use their smartphone as their first point of access for the Internet and we are behind many other regions of the world like Scandinavia and the Middle East where more than 50% of the adult population uses a mobile device as the “first screen” for the Internet.
As you can see in the graphic above, this trend is also reflected in my own blog where global mobile readership has grown from 13% to 24% in less than two years (and it stands at 26% since June!). So day, by day, more people are reading your blog on a “mobile-optimized” screen that fits in the palm of your hand instead of on a nice big high definition desk-top screen. The difference is pretty dramatic: Here are five implications of this shift: 1) Less blog engagement It is more difficult to create content, including blog comments, on a phone instead of a keyboard. 2) The end of calls to action.

Quick Growing MightyText Wants to Sync More Than SMS - Liz Gannes - Mobile. Sometimes a simple tweak to the most mundane thing makes the biggest difference.
The tiny start-up MightyText syncs text messages across devices. So, when a normal text is received by an Android phone while the MightyText app is listening in, it gets simultaneously pushed to apps and plugins on the user’s other devices, such as computers or tablets. Say your phone happens to be in your bag, or you’re traveling internationally or you’re in a place where it would be inappropriate to text. MightyText allows you to keep up with the conversation from your computer. And … that’s it! MightyText is very much like an Android version of Apple’s iMessage, and it’s a subset of what Google Voice offers. Those numbers are still relatively small — consider the hit messaging app WhatsApp now sends and receives as many as 10 billion messages per day — but MightyText is already much loved. And wouldn’t you know it, MightyText has bigger ambitions than texting.

Attention mobile entrepreneurs: if you are looking for funding for your big idea, now might be a good time to work in a consumer angle if you haven’t already. According the latest figures from boutique investment bank Rutberg & Co., consumer apps were by far the most popular area for investment among VCs in the first half of this year, accounting for $1.009 billion in value, or just over one-quarter of the $3.9 billion invested in mobile companies worldwide — itself the highest level of mobile investment activity since Rutberg initiated coverage in 2001, and growing by $1 billion over the same period a year ago.
That makes consumer apps the single-biggest area for VC investment at the moment, but the story here is one of quantity of deals, rather than the size of individual fundings: when looking at the 10 biggest investments in mobile, the most valuable investments remain in non-software, capital-intensive areas like devices and carrier infrastructure. Posts from December 2010. I'm often asked to predict where technology - particularly the Internet - is going next. My knee-jerk response is "if I had a crystal ball, I'd be rich. " I was caught off guard in the 90s when my "secret little hobby" of going online was forever changed by the Web and became not just the basis of my first business, Cybergrrl, Inc., but also a transformative communications platform for our work and our lives.
It took about five years - from 1995 to 2000 - for the Web to "take hold. " From an agency standpoint, we felt the shift as ad agencies and PR firms began swallowing up the independent interactive agencies or building their own interactive departments. Five years for the "masses" to speak about the Web and websites as a given, not a fad. In 2010, we've watched a swirl of excitement around mobile, iPhones, Android, iPad, and more. Are you ready?

Mobile App That Monitors Your Skin Over Time. 10 Ways That Mobile Learning Will Revolutionize Education. Smartphones and tablet computers are radically transforming how we access our shared knowledge sources by keeping us constantly connected to near-infinite volumes of raw data and information.
We enjoy unprecedented instant access to expertise, from informal cooking lessons on YouTube to online university courses. Every day people around the globe are absorbed in exciting new forms of learning, and yet traditional schools and university systems are still struggling to leverage the many opportunities for innovation in this area. Recently frog has been researching how learning models are evolving—and how they can be improved—via the influence of mobile technologies. We’ve found that the education industry needs new models and fresh frameworks to avoid losing touch with the radically evolving needs of its many current and potential new constituencies. We have been focusing on the concept of mLearning—where "m" usually stands for "mobile" but also just as easily for "me.

It's not my keys nor my wallet, but my phone that I'm most worried about forgetting. My mobile device has become my lifeline in a lot of ways — and I know I'm not alone. When I walk outside, it seems hard to find someone who's not on their phone. Whether they're looking up directions on a maps app, checking in to their current location on Foursquare or taking a photo with Instagram, many of us rely on mobile devices to get things done efficiently and conveniently — and to stay connected. Long before Facebook bought Instagram last month, the mobile social networking boom was upon us. The $1 billion acquisition was just the icing on the cake. This was the jumping off point for a discussion on stage at Mashable Connect with me, Brett Martin, co-founder and CEO of Sonar, Steve Jang, co-founder, chief product designer and CEO of SoundTracking, and Bart Stein, co-founder of Stamped on Saturday.
Facebook buys Glancee in another mobile play. Facebook confirmed on Friday night that it has purchased Glancee, a mobile app that uses your location and Facebook login to connect you with like-minded individuals who happen to be near you in real life. Details of the deal were undisclosed but it looks like Glancee will be shutting down and some or all of the team will be joining Facebook — and they will be working on location-related features for the giant social network.
Facebook confirmed the deal in a written statement: We are thrilled to confirm that Facebook has acquired Glancee. The acquisition closed today. On the heels of Facebook’s $1 billion buy of Instagram, this deal likely isn’t in the same league financially, but some view it as another indication that Facebook needs to ramp up its mobile experience. Glancee does have some cool elements, and the promise of being able to connect my virtual Facebook life with my physical one using the Glancee app is certainly compelling. 10 Best Beer Apps for St. Patrick's Day.
