In a survey of 1,000 US-based adult consumers conducted by the MMA via Luth Research, nearly 92% of the respondents said that they own a cell phone, and of them, 19 percent stated that they use mobile banking on their phone.

December 10, 2009 | Greg Ness: Magazine Industry Doesn’t Want To Follow In The Footsteps Of The Music Industry
Unlike the music industry that ceded much of its control to giants like Apple and its iTunes store, the magazine industry seems determined to control its own destiny (see TechCrunch story here). A group of major magazine publishers is attempting to reformat their products for an electronic reader world, and to create their own app store for magazines. Think of each magazine title as an app. An electronic reader platform would help redefine wonderful new possibilities for what it means to be a magazine (see The Magazine Reborn).

August 31, 2009 | Greg Ness: Where The Web Is Headed
Tim Berners-Lee is credited as one of the main inventors of the World Wide Web. With an accomplishment like that on your resume, people tend to sit up and take notice when you have something to say – notably when that something is about The Next Web. In this compelling TED talk, Tim discusses what will be the next evolution of the Web: linked data. As the TED video summary says, “open, linked data…could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.”
July 27, 2009 | Nick Green: Flash Catalyst offers new workflow
Adobe’s newest beta product, Flash Catalyst boasts that it’s the missing link between developers and designers. It gives a visual layout interface for designers to create and begin flushing out interactivity on the site. Adobe’s pitch is that this work flow allows for much of the front end development to actually be done by the designer leaving the true coding to the developer. It’s an interesting idea, but how useful will it be?
