Can this be true? Bango first to offer both Site and Campaign mobile analytics

Now I read this press release and I didn’t believe it. As you know I have been in mobile for a long time and the problem is the cookies. It is easy to monitor mobile analytics –but not for individual or unique users.

The implications of being able to [...]

GoMo News Code of Conduct

Find & Go from Vodafone, Telmap and Multimap

Now, I thought that Vodafone already had a mobile mapping service –but this must be something new. Apparently Vodafone UK has teamed with Telmap and Multimap and a new service called Find & Go has been born.

Find & Go also is giving me some kind of déjàvu from something or another.
So what is this?
It is [...]

Independent Clarification on Patent Laws

OK. So I am on so-called holiday but I managed to make a few vital phone calls while watching Wall-e at Vue in Harrow this morning.
It is relating to the USPTO. I didn’t get hold of NeoMedia (time difference) but I did get hold of a Lawyer who understands the barcode law.

So – I can’t [...]

Workshops, meetings and holiday

It might be a bit quiet next week on GoMo. Hopefully Rob and Darla will keep things ticking over -but I was going to be officially on holiday.

Zed in Spain -free ad funded mobile games?

Zed.es has launched new ad-funded mobile games - does anyone know who is behind this?

I didn’t find a press release but my Zed account pinged “Nouvo” and the advertisers are hot - Gillette and Twix (first time have seen these brands in a mobile game).
I am sure when I interviewed Offer from Inner-Active a while [...]

The paying bloggers issue

I think there was an article on Tech Crunch that started this -but I picked it up here on Pat Phelan’s blog:
I just to want to say once more that what you get from GoMo is a professional service and I think that everyone should check references of any bloggers they employ. Unlike some I [...]

Yikes Does MMS Search Work?

I have now had six - yes six emails about my article about Thrrum. See original post here..

Why?
Competitors are saying that this is not an exclusive deal with US operators and Thrrum -but hype from the provider. I have emailed T-Mobile and Verizon and am awaiting response - but everyone seems to say that Thrrum [...]
