Will iPhone Reignite Interest in Mobile Video?
via GigaOM by Om Malik on May 09, 2008
There are enough signs that Apple’s iPhone, the fast-growing mobile device from the Cupertino-based consumer electronics and computing giant, will give the still-emerging business of mobile video a turbo boost. Here’s why: Earlier it was reported that some NBC television shows could be streamed directly to iPhone via the browser. In addition, Orb, an Emeryville, Calif.-based startup...

Update: Mowser Assets Find a home at dotMobi
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on May 09, 2008
It’s always a good idea to kill your startup in public. Russell Beattie did that last month with Mowser, a service that converts regular Web addresses into mobile-friendly ones, because he said didn’t “believe in the ‘Mobile Web’ anymore.” Luckily for him, some people disagreed with him (and not just Mike). Mowser’s intellectual property and the site itself was acquired today by...

Will the Scobles wait in line for 3G iPhone?
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on May 06, 2008
New 3G iPhone is coming this summer, it seems. Will Patrick and I wait in line overnight again like we did last year?No.Why? Even though the line was a heck of a lot of fun, I think that’s a one-time deal. It’s pretty clear there won’t be any scarcity (there wasn’t any real scarcity last time, either) and I doubt Bill Atkinson (Apple’s first software developer) will come and wait in...

Is Yang Still In Control At Yahoo?
via TechCrunch by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Shared by Benjamin Golub Testing.Here’s the latest Yahoo rumor that we’re chasing: The Yahoo board of directors met earlier today and authorized chairman Roy Bostock, not CEO Jerry Yang, to call Ballmer about re-starting negotiations. In fact, this rumor may have been behind the small rally in Yahoo’s stock today, which closed up 5.5 percent to $25.72 (still down from where it closed on...

The Social Media Feature War is the Wrong War
via louisgray.com by louisgray on May 07, 2008
I've seen a lot of social media tools and aggregators. A good number of them are designed very well, and could be great tools, provided a swarm of early adopters, and then later, late adopters, showed up. Some of them trumpet just how many different services are supported, and use that as a rallying cry for why one site should be ditched for another. But it's the wrong approach. For while...

Scoble Sellout Part Three? - Twitter Adverts
via TechCrunch by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Shared by DrBaher Robert seems to go the route of monetizing his personal brand :)Here’s the third update to our January and April posts: Uber-blogger Robert Scoble, who in 2006 argued that having advertisements on blogs destroys trust, appears to be no longer content with… adding advertisements to his blog. Now he’s experimenting with Twittering adverts for perennial sponsor Seagate. He...

Think Apple Would Dare To Take On the Movie Theaters?
via louisgray.com by (author unknown) on May 07, 2008
Shared by kskobac Is Mark Cuban reading this post?With the addition of movie rentals on iTunes, Apple has given my wife and me a new entertainment outlet, letting us essentially have video on demand from a wide library, for only 3 or 5 dollars, at any time we wish. Just recently, Apple made more headlines by signing a pact where new DVD releases would simultaneously debut on iTunes. But this...

I Am a Google Reader Shared Links Ninja
via louisgray.com by louisgray on May 06, 2008
On March 3rd of 2007, I made a list of 10 suggestions to the Google Reader team on how they could make the world's most popular feed reader even better. The tenth option was a simple one, which I titled as "Customization Everywhere", where I said "there's zero options to customize a shared link blog." As of today, only 14 months later, we now have the first user customizable options to...
