I found this on flickr and went to find out who posted this great pic. My mother had one of these when she was 20, a bright red one! In the 60’s my Grandparents had a garage and my Grandfather a former TT motorcycle mechanic and aircraft engineer souped it up for her. Blimey it’s only Dave Gorman! Nice one Dave! Good luck with all you’re doing. Great Shots! I particularly like the balancing rocks sets…

When I found the new service for Pod2Mob late last year ( must of been November or December 2005 ) I thought this was quite an innovation. It’s a service that enables mobile phone users to listen to podcasts that were previously unavailable to this huge amount of users. Contrary to popular belief it’s actually quite tricky to do!

I checked it out to see what is was about and soon found that one of my favourite podcasts the Daily Source Code was not available in their directory. In order to be able to list it in my favourites for listening on my Nokia N70 with a 3G connection I added the Daily Source Code to the directory. I also thought it may help promote what Adam Curry was doing with Podcasting. I thought it would be a good way to get it popping up on Adam Curry’s radar, I was sure listenening to how receptive he seemed to be to any new ideas he would jump at this oppertunity to open up podcasts to a very large new audience…… 3 or 4 months later it gets there and it doesn’t look like he’s best pleased? I thought he was all for people promoting podcasting in new ways.

Does it not make sense to be creating a way for podcasters to reach out to potentially the largest audience out there? May be there can be a way for this to work for everybody? It would certainly be nice if podcasters could approve the advertising segment preceding their podcast or pay a yearly registration fee for delivery to mobile without the advertising. May be Pod2Mob could create a management system that enabled this. If they’re working on a business model that could give the budding podcast producer a revenue share on the advertising segment it could prove to be a fairly useful way to cover some of their costs.

Anyway, we now all know how the DSC got on Pod2Mob’s directory. OOOOPs!! Well, I suppose the issue had to be addressed sometime!

This rumour popped up on the feeds on Saturday. This just confirms what we all felt was on the cards!

The newly-created entity is being called the Music And Film Industry Association of America, Inc.

Adam should like this one!

Just checked my stats for the first month of running text advertising links on my mobile site Click4WAP and out of an inventry of over 1.5 million available advert displays, just over 500,000 were taken up running 20 seperate campaigns using AdMob’s new service. A very promising start, I think!

Of these MocoSpace where able to take over 250,000 impressions to promote their great new mobile chat community. With some very canny bidding on their advertising campaign’s slots and some well thought out text for their ads they where able to achieve conversion ratios several times better than traditional web adverts currently achieve.

Interested parties just register here to manage everything online. You also have access to the whole network of mobile WAP sites using the service. You can literally being sending users to your mobile site in less than 10 minutes time from now if you want!
