Strange cult importet from Brazil, but rapidly sweeping around the globe is “Mobile Clubbing”. Clubs are organzied thorugh the internet, mobile phones and word of mouth. This week a few undercover London clubs  are going to be organized and the crowds will maybe head there again.

However…why would someone visit a mobile club? I guess it’s mostly curiosity and the feeling of having some kind of power.  Especially the more artsy crowd.

Well let’s hope that by dancing in public mobile clubbers will have fun. I certainly will digg in their mobile guestlist and see if I can jump on board one day

Pretty cool gadget, but well under public radar: The MIFI wireless network to go. Instead of using a surfstick or UMTS card this is the coolest gadget for 2009. Really like it a lot. Wonder why nobody really write about it.

Since normal web hosting companies are beating each other up with additional services, the mobile wap hosting business is completely different. Most companies offer complete website builders and wap hosting solutions for free. Some even use tickets and a ticketing service to provide full customer support online.

There are several good companies out there but it’s sometimes tough to distinguish. Here a few ideas of where to host a mobile website:

1. Host locally
I think this is one of the most important things to do. Host your website in the target country

2. Host with larger companies or reliable companies that are ideally affiliated with the carriers.
You certainly don’t want to be blocked by a carrier if you run a serious business on the mobile web.

3. Multiple Device Hosting
Make sure hosting supports multiple devices. There are several settings that could make mobile devices cause errors or problems. Hosting a mobile website should be open to as many mobile devices as possible.  Especially for mobile analytics data is something you might also don’t want to share with third parties

4. No traffic limit
The mobile ESPN site receives more traffic than the regular ESPN site. Make sure that you have enough resources to support seasonal traffic

Pretty cool Iphone App that calculates your savings on Annual Light Bulb costs. Usually not a big thing in the US, but in Europe and especially Germany, where electricity is very expensive, the 99 Cents for the app could save 100s of dollars in yearly light bulb costs.

I’ve written two month ago about the flowers application for the Iphone. Now another great Iphone app:
Q’s Slider Puzzle: iLove Nature
It’s the traditional slider puzzle, but with nature images as pics. It’s build with 18 different wildlife photos and is build out with
Different skill levels. But better than the old-school toy, this Iphone App keeps track of time and moves. Perfect for everybody
Playing during class, in the subway or bus.

There is literally no site in the world that is safe from crazy people. By coincidence I just found a guy who leaves a funny Ebay feedback all over the place. Not sure what rides him, but definitely funny. Here a few:

Are you seriously this excited about an Ipod? You need a woman!

Please write more nice stuff about me next time. It makes me feel good.

You should tell Ebay I’m great so they’ll stop threatening to kill my account.

I bought this video only to hear that hot Beach Boys song on the end.
More from this guy here.

If you ever thought about getting a few surveillance cameras up, but never installed it, b/c it’s a huge pain, maybe the following is the solution for you.  Now you’ve got a solution with WIspi EX 30. WiSpi is a security camera that transmit pics to a handheld screen or has a built-in DVR and night vision.

Check the video to see how it could work:

Certainly an interesting idea. I always wondered why the old-school baby monitors are just not transmitting to a cell or the Inet. Especially since everybody has wireless in their house nowadays.

The Washington Times just announced the largest Mobile Ad networks. And results are surprising to me. I thought that Admob is by far bigger than any of the other one’s:

Launching a branded store is kind of a no-brainer today. All the big brands do it and I am a big fan of it. Brand Marketing & Reputation management are just the way to go these days. Especially when you are in the tech space (just ask Google).

Today I saw that Microsoft finally made the move to launch their own stores and promote their products, among others the Zune.  They also announced that these stores will sometimes open in close proximity to Apple’s store. Let’s say it friendly: This can go very ugly, especially when you think about the deep pockets that Microsoft has.

The next black Friday we might see the Iphone vs. Zune Phone war….or the Mac vs. PC fight right on the street.
Overall a smart move by Microsoft. Since Circuit City folded and a bunch of online retailers own the laptop business, Microsoft
needs to diversify their sales channels. Really funny to see the M$ giant get back on it’s feet.

But let’s see how this will turn out. Windows 7 better be good…or MS will get owned again.

This is quite offtopic, but I am stunned about the geekness of today’s world. In the old days, humans collected stamps and just looking at the Blue Mauritius stamp in a collectors catalog was just the highlight of day.
