Of the nineteen, yes 19, presentations I attended at this years Milia my favourite must have been the Mobility and Content: Entertainment Everywhere! Held in the Esterel on Thursday morning – this panel seemed to cover all the main emerging media issues with ease, not tied down to a specific theme they handled the revolution [...]

There must be something in the air. I have been in identical conversations in the past week with folk I have been lecturing, professional content makers and colleagues. The problem of what to do about the tidal wave of content coming over the horizon and how to get noticed. I put to them that a [...]

Now don’t worry this blog is not turning into somekind of mobile review site - but I am in a ‘mobile-converged-device’ mode at the moment, combined with ‘media journey’ ontology - a sad mix.
