Re: Live blogging: Mozilla Chairman Mitchell Baker on opening the mobile web

Has it occurred to anyone that mobile users might actually want to do different things than surf a web designed for the sedentary?

It's not quality of browser holding things back any more - it's the lack of compelling mobile-context-focussed services and sites.

Re: On Twitter and Listening

Agree. But don't fall into the trap of assuming that the entire planet (or even all your customers) are hanging out on Twitter.

It's very good to craft your offerings amongst IT-savvy early adopters - let's be honest, Twitter's primary constituency.

But sooner or later, many companies want to break out into some sort of mainstream. At that point, listening is still very important, but presumably other media are required.

i.e. "The point of need" is not always Twitter.

(I appreciate this is totally obvious, but sometimes the Twitter bubble needs a little poke)

Hey, Robert, when you're there, see how http://sxsw.mobi works out. I hypothesised that it would be cool, but would be intrigued by the reality.

Thanks

Re: Dodgeball? Jotspot? Jaiku!

Twitter is a stream of text, or at best a stream of consiousness.

Jaiku is a stream of context and a stream of presence.

That's why the latter is a glimpse of the future of a (mobile) web.
