KashKlash: the Game at Lift conference, inspiring and connecting pioneers since 2006

...The focus is on a possible future ecosystem - in a new world where today’s aging, less useful and even dangerous financial systems are replaced by (or mixed with) more disruptive innovations and exchanges. Imagine yourself deprived of all of today’s financial resources. Maybe you’re a refugee or stateless. Yet you still have your handset and laptop and Internet and a broadband cellphone connection….

MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe Lays Out Mobile Strategy; Hypertargeting Mobile Ads To Users

MySpace is moving quickly to establish itself on mobile, after growth of its mobile user base jumped 400 percent from last year, with just under a quarter of its users—or 20 million—accessing the popular social net from their cellphones. During this morning’s keynote, MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe laid out some of the company’s strategy for taking its online success and translating it to mobile and how it planned to generate revenues in the space.


Emerging Markets: MySpace has identified India and China as two countries that it would like to target, especially as their mobile phone user numbers are massive. China Mobile alone has some 460 million subscribers. China, DeWolfe said, was an especially “rich market” for games, and social networking, where specific nets have emerged for different provinces in the country and different classes of users. He quipped that there at least 30 of them were called mySpace.

Webspam in 2009?

Matt Cutts from Google in his Blog:
Based on your experiences, close your eyes and think about what area(s) you wish Google would work on. You probably want to think about it for a while without viewing other people’s comments, and I’m not going to mention any specific area that would bias you; I want people to independently consider what they think Google should work on to decrease webspam in the next six months to a year.

Once you’ve come up with the idea(s) that you think are most pressing, please add a constructive comment. I don’t want individual sites called out or much discussion; just chime in once with what you’d like to see Google work on in webspam.

Alcatel: Piece Suit for Lego Phone


Alcatel Ditches Three-Piece Suit for Lego Phone: "I don't think I've ever used the Lego and Alcatel names in the same sentence before, but there is always a first time for everything. When most people think of Alcatel phones, they usually are reminded of the corporate market with support for all kinds of business applications. That can make for quite the stuffy image, so Alcatel decided to have a little fun for once."
