Comment on Android Apps Free-For-All by Shehzad

Just an additional comment – doesn’t “Jailbreaking” an iPhone void your warranty? If so, no such rule applies for downloading apps freely available in the Android market. But is that really enough to discourage hackers? Thoughts?

It’s pretty amazing what we can (and have!) done with HTML5 dev. There are a handful of forward thinking advertisers who have jumped at the opportunity of creating truly interactive, rich and interesting advertising on mobile. It’s an exciting time in our industry. . .

SMS Donation — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 07:36:04 +0000

This article proving the fact that the charity campaign can’t be run without sms charity donations campaign. It is obvious that everyone want to donate but because of professional busy schedules very few can donate if there is faithful service in messages then everyone happily donate. another that i would like to say is that the methodology to donate should be as simple as possible so that the sent text must be cost for right and relevant purpose!

Comment on Mobile: The Ultimate Social Network by Inna

Using mobile to increase Jumo’s efficacy and get more people on board is an amazing idea!
But, it’s strange that we live in a society where someone would say the “space is already crowded” when talking about nonprofit organizations. There is no such thing as “too many” people who want to better the community for today and for the future. Kudos to Jumo for recognizing that.

Great article Taj! Wouldn’t it be great if the application not only included where the food is coming from, but also the calorie content for foods that don’t often include it like meats, fruits, and veggies!

That would make my life a whole lot easier!

Comment on 2D Barcodes – Are they the next LBS? by Ruaridh Anderson

Ruaridh Anderson — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 23:11:27 +0000

We used 2D codes for scavenger hunts up here in Canada. It was fun with instant trigger wins. BUT my jury is still out if I want to do it again.

I think AR/GPS is going to be more fun and kill off the need for outdoor bar codes. We are working with AR in our LBS apps.

Pepsi UK did do a good QR a Winner campaign. I liked it but it flopped. They are back using SMS. So SMS is still king in Europe. I think much of that is to do with data capture on opt in. BUT. Customers love SMS. I’ve been texting since 1999. I am still doing it. So there is affection for SMS.

I also find SMS is faster than fluffing with a code to scan. Someone put them on TV? I just can not see myself crouching down to scan an image flickering for 10 secs?

I am scanning supermarket bar codes now Check out TESCO Grocery. Its great for finding out how much money I will be short by at checkout. No US supermarket doing this yet to my knowledge.
