Platinum value reader (sorry, stole the joke James) Ben Godfrey sent us this precis of Mobile Opportunities, an event held about 10 days back at Simmons and Simmons in London. I recommend a read through of Ben's blogging of the event.
Interesting tidbits include Tony Fish on coming innovations:
"The key thread was the long tail, he expects to see the mobile space transition from a small number of providers trying to create mass-market killer apps, to many small organisations creating thousands of niche apps. Currently, this raises the so-called "developer's dilemma," the network equipment, middleware, terminal equipment and service provision are disparate and hard for a single small developer to unite.
Some of the key principles of Mobile Web 2.0, on top of those that are accepted components of Normal Web 2.0:
- Pocketability, portability, passion
- Individual requirements (identity, location)
- Awareness
- Access (no one cares which platform, just that they have one)"
And Alan Moore on future value propositions:
"Digital brands are life-simplifying, life-enabling and navigational. Communities have transitioned from very fixed and rigid, created by state, religion, geography, to being very fluid and flexible, made up of highly-empowered individuals, individuals who the curators of the content they consume. The product-consumption machines of the post-war era have given way to individuals who value life and experience, self-determination, in the post-modern age. Internet, mobile and especially Web 2.0 fit the needs of those individuals better."
I encourage those of you who are blogging a particular event to send the link along. How else are we all going to be everywhere at once, learning from everyone?
