LONDON, England - There's an inevitable mania and intensity that envelops any significant product or service launch, and last night it felt somewhat amplified. No doubt because the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (the artist previously know as The Tube) had been the rumour mill poster child for over a year, and word of its imminent announcement was stoking the atmosphere. Plus the event was held at Koko in Camden, London, a charged and opulent venue that ...

There are a lot of blog posts out there about whether companies should create blogs of their own. Blogging seems to be an entry point that most marketing people can easily wrap their heads around. For me it's always come down to five questions and the answer to all five has to be yes. Those five questions are: Are you listening to your online community? - Are you spending a minimum of two hours a ...

INDIA - The concept of a mobile-based universal remote control isn't new, yet the hope of one remains a hugely popular prospect that we've collectively scribbled on our wishlist. And whilst the reality of a successful one-size-fits-all solution is being researched as part of the Homebird project, others are taking it into their own innovative hands to solve their personal remote control needs (trust Jan Chipchase to spot this one, highlighted in his post entitled ...

I met Keith Hammonds at Fast Company Real Time Philadelphia in 2001. At the time he was Executive Editor for the magazine. Like many of the journalists and editors involved with the magazine, Keith struck me as very inquisitive. Someone interested in the social aspects of business - those intended (and unintended) consequences of commerce that could and at time do change lives. Recently, Keith joined Ashoka's new Social Entrepreneurs in Journalism program as team ...

Last week, when the FCC published an order aimed at halting the collection of and reporting on the quality of telephone service on a nationwide basis, we were pretty disappointed, as it came off like the agency was just throwing in the towel on real regulation and reform. Since one of the reasons behind the FCC decision is that the data is available at state utility commissions, I surfed and called around to the commissions ...

I had the distinct pleasure today of helping five elementary school principals through the step-by-step process of creating their first campus blogs.When the idea seed for school leadership blogging in our school district was first planted, it was met with lukewarm responses. However, when I spoke to individual principals who explained their concerns, almost all left either believing it was worth looking into or that they could indeed use a blog to help.I was impressed ...

UPDATE: I just saw this piece by Jen Zingsheim via Kami Huyse. Both are insightful pieces, and I think they remain consistent with my overall point. "Pitching" is not the way to succeed in social media. Building relationships is. Yes, you can only have so many quality relationships - but I'm not building relationships for myself, in many cases I'm brokering them for my clients. If 150 is the "max" for relationships - and I ...

Andreas Gefeller is a German photographer well known for his series Supervisions, which pushes the boundaries of photography by elevating the view point off the ground. I have been extremely interested in Andreas' work for a long time, and I recently had the chance to talk to him about it. Jörg Colberg: With the view from above, Supervisions, you produced an entirely new view of the world, which also differs from the bulk of contemporary ...

If further proof was needed that it's not the tools that produce art, but the vision of the artist, Curtis Mann's work would provide a good example. I had long wanted to talk to him about his work, and I finally got the chance to do so.

GLOBAL - On witnessing the unveiling of the N79 earlier today, I was immediately intrigued by perhaps its most subtly elegant talent - when you dress it in a different coloured cover it automatically changes the on-screen theme to match. Now, this mightn't seem like moment of mobile epiphany, however this seamless marriage and morphing of tactile tailored exteriors and their corresponding digital information has ignited a spark and poses a question - could the ...
