Hiya Folks.
I saw this today and thought I’d share it here. It’s a couple of months old but I found it worth the read. One of the folks interviewed is a member here too — Peter Trapasso @petertrapasso — there could be others but I recognized him right away.

Interesting.

Hi Eileen,
Thank you for noticing.

I was especially honored to be mentioned right after Mark Schaefer.
cheers,
Pete

Peter, so glad you mentioned an oft overlooked hotspot… localized mobile media. I agree that this could be the “thing” that unplugs the limits to what has become a perceived leveling off. Not so… no one’s even put a dent in “localized” mobile platform opportunities as people have yet to get over the “mobile” part being anything but another carry around pocket phone yet.
On the opportunity side, do you know of any vendors who’ve won the battle of holographic mobile yet? To pop a large holographic screen in front of you from that little pocket phone would definitely stir things up and allow everyone to actually SEE what mobile can do. Unfortunately, for tired old squinty eyes like mine, I need that mobile phone to give me something I can actually SEE and use. Until it gets that BIG and SMART, smart phones are just not a platform I can see and use very well.
Soooo… I’ve heard rumors brewing about something BIG and SMART that won’t discriminate against my older crowd. Have you?

@supereb WHAT A GREAT READ!!! my view is that fb will stay big and strong for a long time…… but change…and so what if it doesnt work for   the huge corps, it still might for small corps   like mine….
@atlantarobin I HEAR you on the size….. and wonder ?? dont most of my potential customers, [homeowners , not kids] use   their phones  when they are out of the house, but at home dont they prefer their laptop or computer or ipad?…… who would want to read a thing on something the size of a phone when you can easily have a whole 14 inch screen?
i want to be   mobile friendldy for sure….and i thnk we are….but   am i wrong   to think most still use their bigger   devices when at home….?
im a luddite with a flip phone that i only carry when im on the road .
.so im doing some guesswork here….i DO see my customers on their phonnes all the time and expecting me to   do phone thngs for them   a lot like send pictures to them by phone…..
p.s. wouldnt bigger be   against the idea of mobile and small enough to fitting into your pocket or belt?

I hear you, Miss Ann. Small is mobile, transportable, easy, convenient, throw in your pocketbook or wallet sized. Big is not mobile.
But that’s why I’m asking for people to keep ears and eyes out for the holographic developments or the new technology that can give my tired OLD squinting eyes the BIG rest they need when out and about.
Basically, I’m asking technology to make ME portable, transportable, and MOBILE, lol. OK, all you young whippersnappers, don’t make fun of my tired old eyes. Just bring me my BIG holographic mobile smartphone computer screen and I’ll make you a billionaire in less than a week.
Deal?
