Discussion on Mobile Social Media
Today I joined the ‚Mobile Web Strategies‚. The event started with two presentations by Carol Taylor (Motricity) and Pankaj Asundi (Ericsson) with some interesting thoughts on virtual goods/gifts and customer segmentation. Most exciting part was the the discussion panel on Mobile Social Networks with some of our combatants like mygamma, MocoSpace and itsmy. The whole day was full of good lectures and discussions and I got some inspiration for my own work with mobile social media. In the evening we went for the CTIA MocoMixer in the Palace Hotel before ending the day at the sky bar at the Marriott Hotel.
