Imagine you spend years building up relationships with your clients and establishing your business and brand in the marketplace and one of your key employees sets up a competing business on the back of your business and, virtually overnight, solicits your clients across to his/her competing business.

packaging would be pre-production e.g. no manuals, pretty pictures, etc, but I loved the box, it looked nice, it opened in a unique way, not bad for pre-production for sure. I did however feel like I was opening a jewellery box

Re: Play iTunes music anywhere…Not just your iPod

having all those low quality DRM protected tracks trapped on your iPod. You are probably thinking how do I get myself out of this mess or you will think that way

Thats a valid idea Jamie, however it is very UK centric and I can't wait to
come back and get access to those very plans. Over in Canada my Nokia E61i
is still one of the top phones available so upgrading is waseful and
expensive for me without much additional benefit. In the UK I would be
runnning around drooling over the wonderful plans and cheap smartphones. I
miss it!

I think many non pay as you go plans are a rip off. I prefer to buy a phone unlocked and then get a good pay as go deal which includes a hefty data plan (they do exist in most places). Plus, if your phone has wifi capabilities, and like me you are never too far from wifi, then you don't end up using the telco's network enough to justify big payments every month...

But, you have to offset the monthly cost of the iPhone with the cost of a normal cellular plan, no? Which should account for at *least* half the monthly cost, so maybe an additional $600-$700 a year?

Re: Calgary Third Tuesday a great success

Roger, thanks for the comments - well written! I'm happy to have organized the event and will continue to do so for future events. Any feedback you (or anyone) has regarding speakers or topics would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry about that Jacob I made the change on the paragraph above but missed the second mention. Thanks for adding the clarification.

Jacob George — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:24:58 -0000

Thanks for your positive comments about my presentation. One clarification - the Facebook network I was referring that has about half a million members is the Calgary network of Facebook. It is not the City of Calgary's page or group. I mentioned this to support my point that Calgary as a city has high usage of social media already and it makes sense for us to use them to communicate with the citizens. Sorry, if I misled anyone in the presentation.

Anytime and thanks for dropping by on the site and commenting on the site so
much, I really appreciate it. Sites only need a few readers like you to keep
the community vibrant and growing.

Re: Video - Zemanta launches major update with new social features

By the way, thanks for the tip. I've just added TradeVibes to my search engine Readle: http://www.readle.net/

Re: Video - Zemanta launches major update with new social features

svartling — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:52:35 -0000

Ok. You can ask them to add TradeVibes. Maybe they will?

Re: Video - Zemanta launches major update with new social features

techwinter — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:43:07 -0000

I just wish they supported TradeVibes as I have strong aversion to
CrunchBase for business reasons.

We don't know exactly which tools we will use yet. We are not in any hurry to monetise/advertise.

Thanks Jamie for jumping in and elaborating, I am sure developers appreciate
getting this kind of feedback as mobile is growing so fast right now.

Since you will eventually sell ads on your site of some kind are you using
Quantcast yet? Will you use them?

Have a good week and thanks again for the stats.

Thanks for the great write up on Phoload. To elaborate a little more on the ad-supported mobile software.... this model works best in software which uses internet connectivity as part of its normal functionality (e.g. the amazeGPS and Mesa Info Booth examples given in the article) as the ads are usually have to be downloaded from the net. It is not always so popular yet in games and apps which do not require connectivity except to download ads, although that will probably change as always-on/cheap internet connections from phones become the norm. In the meantime though, the completely free no-ad supported games appear the most popular.

Re: Mobile Fun - Want to know how fast you can lose a customer

techwinter — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 19:55:15 -0000

1. Ok.

2. Maybe you didn't but it doesn't change how crappy your customer service was and that it cost me money to wait on the line unnecessarily. As a potential customer I shouldn't be made to feel that way regardless of my purchase intentions. What you should be taking away from this is, the possibility that your customer service is losing you customers, and not finding a way to put the blame on me.

3. This statement shows your very ignorance of online shopping. There are many online stores that provide the same products as Amazon and it is not my fault you choose to not look for them. Many online retailers offer a far greater level of service. For example Play.com offers many of Amazon's core products and they ship much faster with no additional cost. Often their prices are better too.

I appreciate your opinions and feedback on the Google Shopping comment but I think you really didn't do your company a favour by representing yourself this way and responding as you did.

Cheers

1. froogle is free!!!
2. most likey not in MF's intrest to sell a client 5/6 phones in one go. We get calls all day fors bulk orders. but cant sell as phones are usualy subsidised.

To be frank- if you are not impressed with Amazon's service, then you might as well give up shopping online!!

Re: Facebook – on the rise or fall?

Great job, good point! I am, too, tired of receiving lots of e-mails from those useless facebook applications. Its popularity falls I believe... and a question: why are you offline all the time? miss you!
Love,
