Google’s move to Mobile
3 Comments Published by Rudy De Waele October 16th, 2007 in Social Media, mobile 2.0, Trends, Innovation, Startups, Convergence, GoogleYesterday I did the introduction at the Mobile 2.0 Conference - which was GREAT btw! Since the tremendous feedback I got on my recent Mobile 2.0 Start-Up Ecosystem presentation (as of now nearly 5.000 views!), and many people asking about yesterdays’ presentation, I decided to upload my introduction on Slideshare here.
Included in my presentation is a new ’slide exchange’ collaboration I started with Raimo van der Klein from Amsterdam. Last week he pinged me on a new slide he made on Google’s move to mobile. We started to email a bit back and forth, commenting on eachothers slides until we were happy with a result that I included in my presentation yesterday.
Since the audience seemed to love the result, we decided to challenge the mobile community to think with us and improve these slides further. The goal is to get the best “analysis” of Google’s moves into the mobile space. If you would like to participate please visit this slideshare group and download the latest version and give it a go. Don’t forget to repost to the group otherwise your work can’t be enjoyed by others.

Google acquires Jaiku

Twitteriffic went crazy on this one…With a simple blogpost on jaiku.com, Jyri Engeström announced Jaiku got acquired by Google. Jaiku has been HOT since its beta launch in July 2006. Jaiku is an activity stream and presence sharing service that works from the Web and mobile phones. Jaiku, Ltd. (Helsinki based) was founded in February, 2006 by Jyri Engeström and Petteri Koponen from Finland.
Jaiku’s blog mentions “new user sign-ups have been limited for the time being. The idea here is to enable our team to get right to work with Google’s engineers on delivering a new, better service to you as quickly as we can instead of spending our efforts on optimizing the current back-end. Existing users will still be able to invite their friends, and those who are not yet on Jaiku can send us a request for an invitation to join.”
As GrandCentral (another smart ‘mobile next generation service’ acquired by Google in July), Jaiku will continue its service with its current closed beta user base for a while. GPhone or not, Google is once more taking mobile serious, at least the company is preparing a solid mobile OS.

Off to MoMo Global Summit Helsinki
0 Comments Published by Rudy De Waele September 7th, 2007 in MobileMonday, mobile 2.0, Mobile Monday, StartupsI pulled out my winter socks and warm underwear since I’m off for a couple of days for some cool breeze up north in Helsinki and St. Petersburg for the MobileMonday Global Summit.
The first MoMo Global Summit in May 2005 brought together all existing four chapters (Tokyo, Silicon Valley, Italy, and Helsinki) and some 600 delegates. By last year’s second Summit, there were already 17 chapters in operation and some 1000 delegates attending. As of today, MobileMonday organization has launched 40 new chapters (including the September launches in Philadelphia, Caracas, Adelaide, and Jakarta) and is expecting 1.500 delegates! Next in line chapters are Moscow, Estonia, Oslo, Shenzhen, and some more soon to be anounced. This is really amazing!
This is going to be fun, 17 of my Facebook friends are going to be present - and a lot of them are not just yet on Facebook. Not sure how the blogging and connections are going to be the next days, you’ll most probably find me twittering or on Jaiku and for pictures at my Flickr page of course. You can catch all of this in one nice RSS Feed on Tumblr too. Stay tuned!

Jyri Engeström on the Future of Participatory Media
2 Comments Published by Rudy De Waele June 23rd, 2007 in Social Media, Mobile Apps, Mobile Lifestyle, web 2.0, we media, Mashup, Viral, Moblog, Mobile RSS, mobile 2.0, Mobile Blog, Trends, Mobile Culture, Mobile Monday, Innovation, Startups, Ubiquitous Devices, Location-Based, ConvergenceIf you have a moment, I highly recommend to view this presentation Jaiku co-founder Jyri Engeström gave at Reboot 9.0 and at Mobile Monday Amsterdam recently on the future of participatory media.
Probably one of the most comprehensive views on social media titled Microblogging: Tiny social objects.
Why people like microblogging? Because most people can’t write several blogposts per day/week but like to keep conversations alive around topics and they like to stay connected with eachother in a simple and easy way (accesible through different interfaces and/or devices), including the mobile phone obviously 
I also started an mTrends channel for stuff you’d like to bring to my attention - and to mTrends readers of course: from any Jaiku interface you can post to mTrends channel by prefixing your message with the #mTrends channelname.
