Your comment on myspace got me thinking.

I've heard it from various sources, but there is a quote that is always along the lines of "the thinking starts when the budget runs out" - perhaps the question for social media is not so much "can I afford to do it/not do it?" as "what will I be able to do with it that I would never be able to afford?"

Of course, once everyone else is doing it, the late comers have missed the opportunity to get an advantage, to stand out, and they'll just have to tag along.

I'd second Wes. Encryption helps with confidentiality during transport (and potentially storage), but that doesn't address the privacy issue, since that is more around how data is handled when it is processed. Additionally, encryption adds a very big processing overhead, or a cost overhead if performed in hardware. Privacy is usually solved with policy, ahead of technology.

Re: Voice marketing is part of the mobile marketing mix too

Nice one. With the cut and thrust of technology's bleeding edge, it is all too easy to forget that voice is still the core revenue and (for most people) the core application in mobile.

As a certain telco's ad campaign used to say: "It's good to talk" - still true today.

Maybe that should be added to the list of 5 phrases you never want to hear in a presentation, "I don't really know much about this, but here goes..."!
