    Gabe Wachob writes simply the best advice post I’ve seen from a developer to an API Service Provider. We’ve worked together on a few projects and Gabe’s passion shines through in this one. What struck me is it holds true for any product; the customer (developer) is always right. I also believe it [...]

    What’s Your iPhone Strategy? Speculation or Prediction

    03.07.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 1 Comment

    A few years ago the strategy question for anyone in and around communications was “What’s your Skype strategy?”. Last year just after the Facebook API was launched it was common practice to ask: “What’s your Facebook strategy?“. Today, you need answers to “What’s your iPhone strategy?”.

    Facebook’s “Beacon” has been hashed out in the blogosphere already. Aventurista points out the apologetic similarlities in Mark Zuckerberg’s apologies. 2007 & 2006. When I first read it and also watched Matt Mower and a few others quit Facebook. I had a similar reaction although I’m staying for now. Facebook doesn’t have my loyalty although [...]

Just dial a +18xx-4SPOKEN number from your mobile after you are registered and your status is updated. Spinvox has been around for awhile. In the UK they were providing a [...]

    Wednesday morning at KMWorld 2007. I’m finding it hard to focus this am. I just walked out of one session where the presenter made a joke about Facebook. I checked; I’m fairly sure he’s not on it. That’s a big problem that exists here. You cannot talk about the impact of wikis, blogs, social [...]
