Let’s Just Call It Mobility Week At aMediacirc.us

Posted on March 26, 2008

Here at aMediacirc.us, I tend to respond to things that are prevalent in the news. The number of posts about mobile this week is a direct reaction to the volume of news stories pertaining to mobile (I also have a love of mobile, maybe I just seek this stuff out).

I have a ton of work to do today for my “day job” so I am going to do a little roundup of some things that are on my “mobile mind”:

Google Mobile Discovery (which I spoke about two posts ago)
Surge in Mobile Usage

Mobile speeds on certain devices up 40%
20% increase in usage according to Google
Microsoft says it will have sold 20MM Windows Mobile Devices by end of fiscal year
iPhone users perform 50 times more web searches according to Google

DIY QR Code Vendors– Have QR codes really invaded American soil?

Boost Mobile Launches New Ad Network
Admob serves its 20 billionth impression

in and of itself this does not mean very much, but Tony and the gang over there are doing a great job and I think this does speak to the fact that they are an industry leader

Yahoo Launches OnePlace

This was a couple of weeks ago but it flew under my radar. Whether or not this will be a success I cannot say, but in theory I love what Yahoo is trying to do. I am a huge face on cross device/cross media interoperability.
