Mobile usage isn’t the same for all in the US.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), in 2007 only 15% of all households were wireless or mobile-only – with the adults constituting 13.7% of the […]

Putting it all into Contxts

A couple of weeks ago I heard via Twitter of this new mobile feature at Contxts.com.

South by Southwest: sessions & events do not a boondoggle make.

Where’s Waldo at SXSW?

I’m not an expert in attending the annual South by Southwest Interactive conference. So don’t expect this post to be advice on how to fully enjoy this six-day networking event, because there are many other well written ones that are circulating around the web. However, this is probably more of a “here’s how you will […]
