This week I’m going to spend most of my time in London starting with an event I’m really looking forward to, the Being Digital Mashup Conference on 10th June and organised by Simon Grice and Tony Fish.
The purpose of the event is to debate the commercial, investment and tactical issues that matter when delivering and designing digital services that rely on variety (mashup) of information, data & services. The event has seven themed debates on advertising, identity, content, location, social, retail and search across the important platforms of web, mobile and TV. In each theme there will be leading demo companies showing why it is real and how advanced some actually are. You can check the full speakers list here.
I am not sure if there are still tickets available (I believe the event is - or nearly - sold out). Registration is here.
NOTE: “Being Digital” is also the title of a great book, written by Nicholas Negroponte; it was the book I read in 1995 that spearheaded me inside the digital age!

Labor Day in US today, a national holiday celebrating workers and the labor movement, but nor for Mobilist Dennis and his editing of this weeks’ Carnival of the Mobilists, where he prefers to celebrate the labor of love that mobile bloggers put into their posts every day. RESPECT!
Dennis did a great job resuming the weekly showcase of the best recent mobile phone related posts from around the blogosphere for the eighty-ninth edition of the Carnival of the Mobilists, if you want some interesting views and opinion about what’s happening in the convergent area of the web and mobile, this is your weekly must read!
This week’s excellent with lots of opinion on Nokia’s Ovi launch from last week, iPhone (still HOT) and posts on entrepreneurship, new business models and mobile society. Check it out here.
Jyri Engeström 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.

Kudos to Richard MacManus who offered me his space today in an idea to write some articles around the Mobile 2.0 subject to intend bridge the web 2.0 and mobile 2.0 communities. I’m kicking-off a mini-series of posts on the topic of Mobile 2.0, which will be explored more in detail on Read/WriteWeb this week.
“On the eve of Le Web 3 in Paris - and one month after the Web 2.0 Summit concluded - it seems like an appropriate time to explore the world of the mobile Web, a.k.a. mobile 2.0. There has been a lot of discussion lately on this topic, a good deal of it inspired by the mobile 2.0 event - a one-day event held on 6 November 2006, organized by Daniel Appelquist and Mike Rowehl….”
Continue reading “Understanding Mobile 2.0“, in which I tried to give an overview of what I currently understand as Mobile 2.0 and I included some links to essential writing done on the topic by fellow mobilist bloggers.
