Morning!

Quick!   Tell me!   When you think of browsing the Internet, what crashes through your frontal lobes?

Is it….

• Checking your Twitter account?
• Checking your Friendfeed account?
• Ordering Starbucks coffee?

or is it instead:

• Checking the weather info before heading out to sea to manage your commercial fishing?
• Looking up farm commodity prices to better determine where your investments should go?
• Scheduling your plumber/contractor appointments, setting up transfers to partners, finalizing your advertisements?
• Displaying your grocery store catalog, showcasing different advertisements depending upon whom is viewing it?

Morning!

If there’s one thing I adore, it’s discovering my kids sprouted auto-cleaning filters that immediately shine up the house saving money.  Money - it’s a Good Thing!

That’s why I researched how to find iPhone discounts online.  My service contract is up this month, and those spiffy iPhones are looking ‘mighty seductive to me!

So far, here are the results of my investigations.

After sanity returned, I modified the above conversation to:

So!  As everyone mobile blogging individual knows, having the ability to take pictures with your phone is more important than being able to balance your coffee in one hand while driving with the other.  And you just might (might, mind you) have heard about the Apple iPhone - a rather stellar entry into the mobile phone market.

But….IS IT FOR YOU?

An excellent question!  Here are some quick resources I’ve found to help you answer the above mystical question.

Do you really know what’s reality and what’s not?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  The future of marketing interactions will be increasingly focused upon mobile devices such as your phone, your PDA and similar beasties.  After all, consider the following.

Most likely, your phone is always with you.  Therefore, determining its location (via GPS) during particular times of the day is an excellent method of forecasting where you’ll be in the future (if you’re a creature of habit, as many people are). 

What does this mean for marketers?  Well, lessee….telemarketers would have a more accurate picture of when you’ll actually be at home.  And this concept can be extended even further - let’s say that you’re a coffee marketer and know the approximate time of day when your phone (and hence, you) are in a Starbucks.   Or a Dunkin Donuts.  Or … you get the idea, right?  The huge data available from Google Earth and other satellite mapping outlets would make figuring out [Read more]

STOP THE PRESSES!!

Whew!  Thank you.  Now, what was I saying?  Ah yes!

"Are you aware quite how important making your site friendly to iPhone visitors wil be???"

Think about it.   More and more people are indulging in mobile surfing!   More and more people are browsing the Internet while on the go…and more and more people are getting a first impression of sites while sitting on trains, idly surfing about online, using the free time miraculuously available to them, seeing what’s new…..
