It’s an age old discussion. Does SEO go under the Marketing umbrella? Or does it fit under the Information Technology umbrella? Quite simply, it fits under both. It’s the bridge over troubled waters. It’s the mojo that gets your website workin’. But where does SEO fit in your organization optimally? First of all, what is [...]
The daily deal space has always interested me. Back in April 2007, I went out to San Francisco and went to the Web 2.0 conference. It was alive with great energy and ideas. Twitter was 9 months old. Yahoo was still strong. I gained tons of insight from this conference. Before going to the conference, [...]
So, on the last day of CES 2011, I finally made it over to the Motorola booth, as I just had to try out the new Motorola Xoom tablet powered by Google’s Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) which eventually topped the polls and was named the best gadget at CES 2011. It is indeed a crush-worthy device. The [...]
Today at the Verizon presser at the International CES 2011 event in Las Vegas, Verizon launched the new LG Revolution, which is an Android 2.2 powered smartphone with 4G LTE data support. The LG Revolution might look pretty familiar to you, as it is Verizon’s version of the incredibly badass LG Optimus 2X, in appearance anyway. We [...]
LG kicked off press day here at CES. LG Mobile connected with Mobile Local Social back in December and invited me to come out and blog about their event and give our honest take on their new product line. However, after the press event, I can say I am very impressed. 2011 is going to [...]
Boom! Apple and Skype finally agree to allow Skype’s popular video chatting compatible with the iPhone. Amazing. The cats out in Cupertino are starting to cooperate with people now. Can you feel the love tonight? And it’s available IMMEDIATELY. We didn’t have to wait for CES or MacWorld! Holy sh#t! I heard of some rumblings [...]
January is quickly approaching. What does this mean for early adopters and lovers of cool tech gadgetry? Only one thing, CES is nigh. This will be a fun time to go to CES, as many companies are preparing to take on Apple iPad with tablets of their own. I expect internet TV to get some [...]
I know there are a billion “Twittiquette” posts out there, but I really don’t care and need to get some Twinger (Twitter + Anger? no? terrible?) off my chest. I’m not saying I’m a big deal or anything (although sometimes I like to convince myself I am as an ego booster?), but I think everyone [...]
This is completely true and changing the world as we know it. The folks over at Cognitive Media created this visual art transcription drawing. Here is what they had to say: “Here’s our latest effort in the video Scribing arena. I say arena, but there seems to be very few of us doing this sort [...]
Next generation aims to reduce power consumption and help make way for tiny wireless sensors. The new spec for Bluetooth 4.0 has just been approved by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, the organization that sets the standards for this technology. The newly approved speculation adds a low-power specification for transmitting small data bursts over short ranges. [...]
As I skimmed the iPad app store the other night, the one app that struck me most (besides Flipboard) was one that actually set way, way down at #55. It was the highly-touted Hulu + app, possibly one of the most hoped-for and touted apps by the iPad crowd. The price was set at $9.99. [...]
Looks like Engadget has the scoop on a possible (probable?) Android/Sony gaming phone. Here’s some info: “Here’s what we can tell you about the hardware: if you’re a gaming fan, this is exactly the kind of phone you’ve been waiting for. The device is described as cross between the Samsung Captivate and the PSP Go [...]
Apple has purchased the patents for an electronic casing industry called Liquidmetal®. On August 5, 2010, Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Liquidmetal”), entered into a Master Transaction Agreement with Apple Inc., a California corporation (“Apple”), pursuant to which (i) Liquidmetal contributed substantially all of its intellectual property assets to a newly organized special-purpose, wholly-owned [...]
There has been a lot of talk and maybe a little drama surrounding the Fast Company Influence Project and I wanted to write a little something about why I wanted to be a part of the project and why I continue to ask for the support of my friends and colleagues by the way of [...]
Obviously, Best Buy was going to start selling a tablet soon… that isn’t a surprise., however it is a bit surprising that its CTO Robert Stephens shot a few pics of the tablet branded RocketFish and tweeted them out over Twitter earlier today. Beyond the shot above and the one after the break, we don’t know much about the HP [...]
In the most astounding mobile conference presentation I have ever seen, Samsung highlighted all of the major offerings that its new Galaxy S series Android devices are capable of. I will be acquiring the Sprint Epic (physical keyboard, LED flash, 4G) version of the Galaxy S upon release. Expect an article when that happens. In the [...]

Amazon dropped the price of the Kindle to $189 from $249. Ok, really? While I understand that some people have a previously purchased Kindle, why would anyone buy just a Kindle for themselves at this point when we now have the iPad? Yes, the iPad is a lot more money but for most people it [...]
The topic came up with a friend as of late as I gushed platelets over the True Blood premiere. His response: Vampires represent everything that is wrong with America. Ouch. Really? Sookie? Edward? Surely not Edward.
Check out Samsung’s promo site for the Galaxy S. AMOLED screen looks to be more attractive than the iPhone 4 screen, albeit at a lower resolution. Specs: Samsung Galaxy 2 Leaked Specs: 3.7 inches AMOLED display 1 GHz Snapdragon processor 90 Million Triangles per second GPU (PS3 does 250) Android 2.1 Operating System 5 megapixel [...]
This is innovation! USB Host or USB OTG (On-The-Go) is a way for your device to read other USB devices such as keyboards, web cams or small EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES. Sven Killig decided to work out some driver tweaks to get this running on his Nexus One. The Nokia N8 also has USB OTG built [...]

A fellow who goes by the name “squirrelfantasy” (we’re not going to ask) has put together a working printer that uses felt-tip pens instead of ink cartridges. The most impressive part, though, is that he built it entirely out of LEGOs. Adorned with LEGO men and, really, only as pretty as it has to be to [...]
D8. All Things Digital, the an annual conference where the worlds top tech gurus come to discuss the state of the digital world was created by the Wall Street Journal’s renowned tech journalist, Walter Mossberg, and his colleague-in-crime, Kara Swisher. This year the conference is in it’s 8th year, first year at the new location, [...]
So, sometimes I wonder: “How have we been able to attract these amazing writers that we have at MobileLocalSocial.com that we are blessed with? There is no big compensation right now for writing. No revenue to speak of, yet. People are trained to NOT click advertising, for the most part… we are sophisticated technological consumers… [...]
When my business partner Jeanette and I were asked to attend a Harley Davidson luncheon to kick off the Women Riders weekend we said yes faster than you can say Women Riders! Having never been on a Harley, I was more the excited to go check it all out and learn about the culture. Harley [...]
Over at Reddit I noticed a link to Whisper Systems. Encrypted voice and texting applications entitled RedPhone 0.1 and TextSecure 0.1, are free for Android phones. If this isn’t a reason to have an open source O/S, I don’t know what is. Download from the Android market now. I just did.
At only 80 um-thick, Sony’s flexible OLED which measures 4.1 inches and is 432X240 rez, is looking pretty futuristic to me.

The iPhad empire. Only two or maybe three operating systems can hang with the top dog. Ok, maximum five are possibly real iPad competitors. Six then. That’s it! 2010 is shaping up to be the year of the tablet/pad/slates.
Read on for the major comparisons.
I have had my iPad for about six weeks now and I have to say that for the most part I love it. The screen is amazing, the apps are great and it is extremely convenient for taking to meetings. Here is my one hang up. The accessories are less than stellar. While I think [...]
I freakin’ LOVE this. Unfortunately, this isn’t an app, but some code created to play this song with Processing.org. So, you can’t download a player that does this… but WOW, someone talk to Pandora. I’d LOVE to sit with this rocking on my iPad, reading the words to the song as it bumps to the [...]
![VPS.net Review: Great Servers. Great Management. Big Billing Difficulties[Updated]](http://mobilelocalsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/vps.net_-150x150.jpg)
Mobile Local Social started out as an experiment to see what kind of traction it could get and to find out what kind of talent that we could find to write for it, consistently. The experiment was an overwhelming success, so instead of being on a very slow, shared server wit Dreamhost… we began our [...]
