The social network in your pocket

If you wondered why it has been quiet around here lately, I have spent the last two weeks research­ing and pre­par­ing for my present­a­tion at Pod­Camp Perth 2007.

While I enjoyed the research and prob­ably did too much. I strongly recom­men­ded any­body inter­ested in mobile web usage read Con­sumers and Con­ver­gence (PDF) a world­wide sur­vey car­ried out by KPMG. I did a decent job of the slides, I don’t think I spent enough time pre­par­ing the talk, as a res­ult I wandered off mes­sage. How­ever, I delivered the inform­a­tion I wanted to, but prob­ably not with the emphasis I wanted, that:

  • mobile web use is rising rapidly
  • people are vis­it­ing social net­work­ing web­sites on their mobiles regularly
  • people in dif­fer­ent cul­tures used their phones and ser­vices differently

As usual the present­a­tion ran over time, but that was to be expec­ted. I had hoped for par­ti­cip­a­tion in the second half of the present­a­tion. And with Sue and Frances just back from a m-learning con­fer­ence, it became more of a dis­cus­sion than a presentation.

    I thought your present­a­tion as always was good. “Laugh­ing” we both know why you were guided off track (Sue Waters) — but you did get the mes­sage across. The best part about Pod­camp and Bar­Camp is the dis­cus­sions mixed with the present­a­tion. Was inter­ested to hear your per­se­c­ut­ive on the mobile web because Charlie Schlick from Nokia was really into Mobile Life­style (notes from his ses­sion are here).
