One web 2.0 - social edition

Posted by jonarne 3 years 24 weeks ago

I bet I am not the only one wondering what Nokia was going to announce yesterday... In addition to the N97, Nokia Messaging was the big news. Put short, Nokia Messaging is enabling a bunch of IM-like services on the phone. In my mind this is an important change in the traditional mind pattern device manufacturers, and MNOs, have had until the iPhone.

This movement has accelerated quickly since the launch of iPhone. As I see it, it is about acknowledging the mobile Internet and that the Internet is the backbone of the majority of messaging, social and communication services. I mean, why should device manufacturers or mobile operators re-invent the wheel by creating proprietary IM services (or any kind of service) that only work on some subset of handsets, or that are not portable between operators? The value chain surrounding the mobile operators is also heading this direction, at least in some parts of the world where "openness" has been around for a while.

And the end user? Well, instead of putting up with whatever the operator or device allows, the user is, for the first time, getting a taste of freedom of choice. Probably the choice will be based on what's known from earlier experiences, probably from the PC (phase 1), and how this choice works out in real life (phase 2). Then our duty as mobile developers is to do what we can to make sure the user chooses OUR services by facilitating phase 2 of the choosing process. This means that device optimisation, distribution, user experience and openness are becoming more and more important. Yes, my experience so far with these kind of services is that the need for device adaptation is getting more advanced and more important with the introduction of devices such as the iPhone. Its not only about adapting markup, javascript and CSS to the device any more, its also about adapting to interaction models. But still, we are closing in on the "One Web" many speak of.

Further it is easy for developers (and marketeers) to forget that the mobile phone is first and foremost a social device made for communicating with friends; the current killer apps are voice and SMS. In addition to this, we know that the mobile phone is a powerful content creator and distributor, it knows where your are located, it knows who your friends are, information can be pushed to it from many sources (WAP push, SMS, email) and its always online. I wont dare to try a one-line definition of "web 2.0" here, but isn't this what it's all about? To me, the mobile phone seems to be the missing link required to get any "web 2.0" application or service to work! Desktop web presence is simply not enough. Facebook is a easy to use example. Huge on web, the iPhone app is on the top-10 list in AppStore, and facebook is number 2 on yahoo mobile search. In my mind, any Internet project aiming to be a "web 2.0 service" or "socal service" must implement the mobile channel as well in order to use the words "web 2.0", "social" in conjunction with the service. To quote Gartner's Mobile Web Trends 2007 to 2011 [premium content]:

"A mobile Web strategy is essential for any organization with customer-facing systems or relationships."

I was quite pleasantly surprised to see how fast that business is "harvested from the Apple tree". The number of examples of enabling mobile Internet services for mobile is steadily increasing. Also in the newspaper business there is a trend going towards CMS systems with built in mobile support at the sacrifice of classic feed based solutions. So I guess we all agree on that the future is bright and that 2009 will be the year of the mobile :)

You must be a good runner because you are
always running in my mind, you must be a good thief because you have stolen my heart, and i am always a bad shooter
because I Miss You Always...

L O V E
L = Lake of Sorrows
O = Ocean of Tears
V = Valley of Death
E = End of life....

If you love someone, put their name in a circle,
instead of a heart, because hearts can break,
but circles go on forever

You look so fine!I want to...
break your heart and give you mine

You are like the sunshine so warm,
you are like sugar, so sweet...
you are like you...
and that's the reason why I love you!

Love is sweet poison:
Do not consume without your beloved's advise
and keep out of reach of children
and keep it in cool and dark place.

Love is like war...
Easy to start...
Difficult to end...
Impossible to forget

Do you believe in love at first sight
or do I have to walk by again??

Kiss is not like Nokia...Connecting People
Kiss is not like Nike..Just Do It.
Kiss is not like Pepsi..Yeh Dil Maange More
But Kiss is like Pan Parag..Ek Se Mera Kya Hoga

If U delete this message thats bcoz u love me.
If u save it thats bcoz u desire me
& if u ignore it thats bcoz u miss me.
So what u gonna do with It?

If you fall in river there is a boat
if you fall in well there is rope
but if you fall in love there is no hope

Love is Pure
Love is Sure
Love is sweet poison
that Doctors can't cure

Without Love -- dayz are
"Sadday,
moanday,

Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing and love ends when you stop caring. So dream hope and love...Makes Life Beautiful

Time will always fly, but our love will never die. Keep in touch and remeber me

When time comes for u to give ur heart to someone, make sure u select someone who will never break ur heart, cuz broken hearts has never spare parts

If i were a tear in ur eye i wood roll down onto ur lips.But if u were a tear in my eye i wood never cry as i wood be afraid 2 lose u!

I love all the stars in the sky, but they are nothing compared to the ones in your eyes!

Love is like the seeds of life, To root is full of pain and strife. But to grow it's like a great Oak tree, Straight and strong for eternity. Love is what I offer you, Steadfast, calm and oh, so true! Love is life between two who shares, A life between two who really cares. Love is ours, if you agree, To spend your life with me!

IT MUST HAVE BEEN A RAINY DAY WHEN U WERE BORN, BUT IT WASN'T REALLY RAIN, THE SKY WAS CRYING BCOZ IT LOST ITS NICE, GENTLE AND GENIROUS ANGLE.....GOD BLESS U.
