Content a Tough Sell in Europe - "Analysts at Jupiter Media Metrix, the Internet research company behind this latest study, said that in 2001 Europeans spent €590 million on content for their cell phones, almost twice the €252 million spent on desktops. The analysts estimate that by 2006, European consumers will spend €3.3 billion on cell-phone content, compared to €1.7 billion on home computers."

Here we go with those billion figures again. Personally, I don't do much commuting, I'm not a teenager, I hate predictive text. But I can blog from my phone -- though why, I don't know. But when the screen gets to be as good as my laptop (they can do millions of pixels per inch rather than the usual 72dpi of CRT screens), when they sort out the keyboard, when I can get a T1 connection both ways -- then I'll be interested. And all that is coming. Hell, most of it is already in Japan, right now.

New Scientist: Mobile Phones: Write here, write now:" The kids are going to love this. You walk up to the teacher's desk with a little practical joke in mind. Your mobile phone suddenly bleeps, and you hear a soft whisper in your ear: "MAJOR bad mood today-don't try anything." You think better of the prank and decide to avoid certain detention. All thanks to an invisible SMS message placed in the air above the teacher's desk."

Invisable Post-It notes in the air, or even graffitti? They've got my attention!

How to Upsell Business Services Clients with an Email Newsletter:
"Number 4. A seminar offer -- once a month Matrix Group holds a luncheon seminar in their conference room on a different topic, such as "How to create an email newsletter." Pineda chooses topics based both on client suggestions, and on ways she can grow and hold on to their accounts. For example, early this fall she offered a seminar entitled, "Planning your next-year's Web budget." "
"Again, although the seminars were developed as a sales tool, the detailed descriptions in the newsletter make it clear seminars are chock-full of useful content -- not sales pitches. Notably the seminars are not free. Attendees pay a token fee $15-25. This means attendees take the seminar a bit more seriously and RSVPs are more likely to actually show. "
Interesting. I'm going to start some seminars. Low cost content management, anyone?
