BeeTagg launch MobileFeeds

BeeTagg launch MobileFeeds, I wonder where the idea is coming from ?

Technology aspect aside (I do not believe in proprietary 2D codes) it seems to me a bit sade,… I like the BeeTagg reader on the phone, it has some interesting features and I might even have some ideas or suggestions for them but it looks like they do not know what to do with it. On the application side they seem to be way behind, and just copying what is out there (which from a business point of view might be enough of course)… maybe there is some opportunities there.

(needless to say this is my personnal point of view)

Mowser

  • A transcoder (to let users visit non mobile-friendly website);
  • A directory of mobile-friendly websites;
  • and a “keyword” feature that let you access quickly some websites (kinda a “shortcut”)

Cool stuff he ?

Few more stuff cool stuff from this post:

  • Support for handheld CSS;
  • Advertise your AdMob code in the header and it will be imported in Mowser so that YOU get the money for your content

Two questions now…

  • where is the mobile version of Mowser ??? Wouldn’t a directory of mobile-friendly websites make sense…. on a mobile ? (I tried to access mowser.com on my Nokia 6630 but it crashes my phone – sign that there is no mobile version)
  • What about mobile link discovery ?

Edit: ok from Russell’s comment below there is a mobile version, I am just having problem with my phone (we will sort it out). Here it is: mowser.com, (qrcode), (datamatrix)

Mowser has a blog to catch up with new features and Russell’s thoughts.

Talking about digital identity

Google reads my emails, Google knows who visits my websites, Google knows how much I earn with my websites, Google knows what are my interests,…
It might sounds obvisous but Google becoming Evil is not something I can feel on the web (or not enough), would it be too late anyway ?

Twitter again

Few notes from this interview of Evan Williams from Jason Calacanis (remember that Evan is not much not less than the co-founder of Blogger sold to Google in 2003):

Twitter sort of really took off when they changed the relationship model from “reciprocal” to a “one-way” relationship. It made the whole thing just much more easy (and closest to the blog concept) and that’s when the term of follower was introduced (08:00).

Adding picture/video just add complexity, it will come but they want to make sure to make it right (=easy).

Lots of features are coming thanks to providing an (easy) API.

Twitter pays for the SMS sent… and the business model is not quite clear right now.
