I got this one from Fabien Girardin who’s currently writing his Ph.D. thesis on collaborative work in the context of mobile and ubiquitous environments. Check his 7.5th Floor blog, loads of interesting stuff in there… makes you wonder quite often - shouldn’t we all do this a bit more?

Fabien pointed me out to a presentation he saw at reboot8, one of the interesting conferences out there “for the practical visionaries who are at the intersection of digital technology and change.” The presentation is from Chris Heathcote, a user experience manager who got inspired on the Nokia Mobile Web Server project.

If you hadn’t heard from the project yet, this is where mobile is heading soon, just consider:

“For quite some time it has been possible to access the Internet using mobile phones, although the role of the phone has strictly been that of a client. Considering that modern phones have processing power and memory on par with and even exceeding that of servers of the early web, there really is no reason anymore why webservers could not reside on mobile phones and why people could not create and maintain their own personal mobile websites.”

The presentation called “Mobile 2.0, A Mobile Internet Manifesto - A provocative vision of mobile phones and other portable devices as true connected members of the Internet.” is definately original and interesting but need probably some more (speaking) input to understand all logic behind but it reveals different thinking, the one I have been waiting to see more of it. You can download a copy of the presentation at his anti-mega blog here.

Man, this is going to occupy my brain cells for some days at least… Keep rockin’ Chris!
