C'mon - you recognise that tie. It's a perfect piece of personal branding.... This is cool though: nice one guys!

I agree Chris that there's noticeable progress. And about time too! What I liked about your workgroup was how, after the necessary discussion and coalescing around the key issues and challenges, the approach (or 'framework'!) that emerged felt solid, professional, thorough and pragmatic. Previously things have had gaps, been sketchy somehow, but I really felt that it was proof of progress.

Brendan! You must've been the one person I didn't say hello to, and I didn't have a clue that you were you.

MeasurementCamp is nothing more and nothing less than the people that come - I hope you both keep coming, because that's what makes the progress.
Thanks for being part of that.

On the 'no news on valuations as yet though' I just whacked it into their 'try us now' function on their website - 'How much wonga did you sell for?' - so am due the figure via SMS any minute :)

Re: The T-Mobile G1 & James Whatley: What a fooking annoyance

My comment was truly idiotic, and I agree with you Mark - belatedly I see that you contribute lots to MIR, my first impression was that it was a 'hit and run' jibe of a comment from an anonymous competitor. Should've checked first, for that I'm sorry.
But I feel that your comment is not accurate - I don't feel that we've dropped the ball (until my comment). Since we were given the go-ahead by T-Mobile we've been giving MIR the same access and level of support that has been given to the FT, The Guardian and all the other 'traditional' media during this launch. There are limited resources to go around. I'm going to step out of this conversation now because I'm not really helping things.

@MarkW Nothing like hiding and sniping. How very 2007.

Yep! To be fair, it was super hard to get any devices before launch, such was the demand across the business and the initial scarcity of devices in the UK before launch. And also, these are baby steps - these are the first tentative steps into engaging online for T-Mobile, and from my perspective one handset is better than none, and we can build from here. We are building relationships with a small number of people (we hope) and I reckon the last few weeks will be really important when we look back in a year or twos time. I am talking 'for' T-Mobile here but it's important to recognise that I am an agency guy, telling it honestly how I see it.

Hello. I don't think we were aware that Mr Whatley was going to have a play with it, AFAIK we weren't told that - and in the absence of that info we felt there was an opportunity to share the G1 with other similarly knowledgeable and smart mobile-heads (I think we're hoping to lend our one loan handset to Tom Hume, Future Platforms, next). That's our goal - it may come across as stingyness or boring logistics, but we want to share the experiences around.
I accept that a few days only isn't ideal for you guys though - perhaps you could suggest the ideal timeframe for us to be aware of in future?
And I'll give you a call to work out a plan for the other MIR hombres: we do (genuinely) care, it's just hard to juggle.
It's a brave new dawn. Now that Obama's here, even mobile handset loan programmes will be easy to manage and everyone will be happy.

Dan - please admit it: you were offered the BLACK option - you declined, asking specifically, 'can I have the magenta option please?'. Correct? I think so :P
