New video: Social Local Mobile Video: the future of Apps (my BDigital Keynote)
Here is a new video with my keynote at the BDigital Apps Conference, November 16, 2011, in Barcelona (my part starts at 02:04). You can download the PDF with my slides here.
The topic: "SoLoMoVi": apps and the future of content, business and communication" Wireless broadband, mobile applications, smart mobile devices, social networks and over-the-top video are exploding and will dramatically change how we communicate, how we buy and sell, how we create and consume content, and how we do business or run our governments. Pre-mobile & social, the Internet was just in its infancy, now it's a rebellious teenager testing the limits and pushing relentlessly. Where will the mobile Internet - and apps in particular - take us, in the next 3-5 years, what opportunities will emerge, what will happen in sectors such as education, media, politics and culture, and what can we learn from how this is already unfolding in the developing countries?

People of the Screen - and what it means (new video)
Riffing off Kevin Kelly's theme in this short video, I comment on what is this trend means for creators, curators, publishers and consumers. This video is part of a new series of short videos I filmed in Switzerland, this summer (all between 5-10 minutes) - visit my Youtube channel to get updates when they go live.

Check out my Future of Business blog on Tumblr
I started using Tumblr a year ago, and because of its easy use of viral tools and instant-post options via Instapaper etc I have build a pretty good following there, already. I usually post interesting snippets I find via Twitter, Flipboard or my 1000+ RSS feeds (no, I don't actually read all of them), and only the most crucial ones are presented. In other words, this is not a river but a drip-feed:) Check it out at Futureof.biz , on any mobile devices try the new Conduit-powered mobile app.

Internet access is shifting from computers to mobile devices (nice graph via Softbank)
I just found a nice illustration of this global trend in a presentation by Softbank's Ted Matsumuto, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a few weeks ago (see all of the presentations, here, and Ted's PDF: Download 02_Ted Matsumoto ). Food for thought.

Data is the new Oil: video interview with me, via AMEInfo (Dubai)
Source: AMEInfo (thanks!): 'Data is the new Oil' according to Media Futurist Gerd Leonhard who explains the concept to Phil Blizzard during a discussion on media innovations. The CEO of the Switzerland-based Futures Agency also talks about the need for creating networked societies, social engagement and creation of tribes in order to survive online. Note: this is where I found this powerful meme.

More exclusive content for my iPhone & Android apps - get the app asap.
If you have not tried my free mobile "Media Futurist" applications yet (yes, iPhone and Android) really should give it a try. I am in the process of preparing some very unique content for my apps (videos, audio, images etc) that you will ONLY get on these apps. The new MobileRoadie app version is coming, soon, and I will have some cool stuff for you, when it does!
Nope, not to worry - I still won't make you pay. Money, that is.
