They just don’t get it. THEY. JUST. DON’T. GET. IT. [SMS Text News - Ewan MacLeod] , 17/05/08

Ok it’s official, I’m fed up with the Canadian Mobile Industry. I was pretty darn close before, as many of you know. I was borderline ready to give up completely. But there were always those ever so slight glimmers of hope that brought me back from the edge. But now I’m done. I. AM. DONE. Tonight I [...]

Qeep is a mobile social network operating out of Cologne, Germany. I’ve been to Cologne once — I stayed in a rather wicked hotel that was constructed out of an old water tower. Qeep is growing at a rate of around 1,500-2,000 users a day and is centred around an application installed on [...]

My first text spam for ages from: YesLoansUK [SMS Text News - Ewan MacLeod] , 16/05/08

Joy. I got my first text spam from YesLoansUK (see above image). I also get mail spam from them. Somewhere along the lines, I must have mistakenly ticked the box that says ‘from other carefully selected people who want to knock you over rubbish’. What’s fascinating is that I just changed my [...]

Thanks to Steve Rowlands over at S60blogger.com, who, points out a work around for anyone really stupid keen to update their stupid Nokia firmware.

Every now and again, some bright spark, somewhere, mentions that it’s cheaper to get data from the Hubble Space Telescope than it is to send 160 characters via a text message charged at 5p/text. Here’s a story from Yahoo, via TechDigest, via The Register: Even getting information from the Hubble Space Telescope only costs a maximum [...]

Voice activated social networking? Yes! Blabnote’s going to be hitting the web shortly and it promises to be an interesting diversion from the usual poking and status updates.

Rob Lowe’s Orange Film Funding pitch [SMS Text News - Ewan MacLeod] , 16/05/08

If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a look. Orange’s agency — Mother, I think it is — does a brilliant job with these ads in the cinemas across the UK. They appear just before the main feature begins. It’s just a shame Orange appears to have lost its way amongst the innovation [...]

As a result of the recent disasters in both China and Burma, RebTel have made all calls to the region free — as their email out to their customers reads: No strings attached, just call and make sure they are OK. Good policy, this. I’ve been using RebTel regularly to call the States and South [...]

Starhome’s European patent for Home Short Codes [SMS Text News - Ewan MacLeod] , 16/05/08

Starhome are a company that, 20 minutes ago, I couldn’t have picked out of a line up of global roaming service providers. When we start to get jiggy with network translation layers and HLR systems, that’s when my eyes begin to glaze over. I’m well up for getting technical, but when it comes [...]
