Targetted Measurable Ads Good; Crude Ad Splashes Bad
January 9, 2007
A new frontier of cellular greed | www.computerworld.com
The screen on a mobile phone is a very personal area. Anything intrusive will be seen as highly intrusive. Anything welcomed can be very attractive. Mobile advertising isn't a question of greed, it's a question of relevance.

Google and BSkyB - Have We Got Ads for You?
December 8, 2006
BSkyB broadband to partner Google | news.bbc.co.uk
Short-term: BSkyB trying to appeal to youth family members of its customer base by bringing Google's user-generated content capability.
Long-term: Is it the winning formula? (Google adsense technology * TV ads stored in your home) + BSkyB ability to simplify technology for customers + penetration of video hard drives = acceptability of personalised ads while you interact with your personalised TV consumption? Or ... is TV consumption dying out, so this deal becomes just another Google wholesale deal on a broadband service?

BlackBerry and Motorola Good or Bad?
November 17, 2006
Motorola to Acquire Good Technology | news.zdnet.com
- competition to BlackBerry in wireless email is starting to loom larger: Nokia/Intellisync, Microsoft, and now Motorola/Good
- at the same time, greater functionality on more devices, and greater experience in marketplace, means users are more easily able to configure and use wireless email services
- slow takeup of 3G services in most countries means that email has not been superseded by any other form of data communications
- so ... the wireless email market should continue to grow across geographies and deeper into business sectors
