I must be one of those ‘kinetic elitists’ described by Yasmine in an earlier post. I don’t like the word elitist a lot and I also haven’t received a lot of airport privileges yet. A desk, a chair and a power socket would already suffice while waiting for a plane. In the past two weeks […]

Following the response and feedback I got on the “Understanding Mobile 2.0” article I wrote at Read/WriteWeb a couple of weeks ago, I created a wiki space to start categorizing the so-called Mobile 2.0 companies.

It’s another honour for me to welcome you to number 33 of the Carnival of The Mobilists. At 33, “L’âge du Christ”, as we say in Belgium, it doesn’t hurt to spend a bit of time on reflexion, so I hope you don’t mind taking the next two paragraphs for this cause.
The thing I like […]

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 […]
