Happy New Year: cool video: cell phones upcycled to form an interactive art installation (via Neil Perkin), 2010: all about Mobile!

Fellow Futurefeed Twitterer and London-based social media expert Neil Perkin is always good for an artful reminder; I found the video below on his most recent post. Nice one, Neil - thanks for sharing!

This egged me to predict (or rather... post-dict;) that 2010 will be all about Mobile:

  • Mobile Broadband Take-Off
  • Mobile Devices 2.0 (readers, tablets etc)  
  • Mobile Communications X.0 (Google Wave, Twitter, apps etc)
  • Mobile Reading (what... news to you? Start with my free Music 2.0 book, here;)
  • Mobile Content ?.0 (drastically new, cross-media models... such as the tablet will offer)
  • Mobile Applications, round 2 (and ...html5!)
  • Mobile Advertising (i.e. not at all like on PC but mobile ads as targeted content) *Data is the New Oil!
  • Mobile Location-Based Services
  • Mobile Augmented Reality (Layar et al)
  • Mobile Money (Africa, Asia)
  • Mobile Me (as in...'Me' in the Cloud)
  • Mobile Social Networking
  • Mobile Disruption (Google Nexus is just the start)
  • Mobile Music (Spotify, Pandora, RDio)
  • Mobile Convergence and the coming TeleMedia Economy


As to the video: says its creator James Theophane: "Each phone is individually addressed by a computer to cofunction and create a choral arrangement.  Assigning each phone a tone, the mass is transformed into an aural form that appears to come alive, shimmering and flirting for onlookers."

Futerati 2.0: my curated 'best people on Twitter' list becomes a live feed aggregator, beta invites available now You may have seen my first announcement on Futerati, back in July 2009. The idea was to list and display the latest updates from those Twitter friends that I like the most, thereby acknowledging how important they are to my work, and directing some attention back to them. Since then, Twitter has become even more important to me (and to many of my clients, especially in the music industry) because it offers real-time access to many really brilliant people around the world that freely share their thoughts, resources, links, blog posts, pictures, videos and presentations. And what's more: you can actually watch their stuff as it pops up, and talk to them, too! Miraculously, I have somehow even gone past the 10.000 followers point, myself (not that those numbers really matter, though - keep that in mind) - thanks to all of you, out there. I have met some really great people through Twitter, and have already booked quite a few speaking gigs through Twitter as well - so the benefits cover the entire spectrum; and yes, they are monetizable (if you should care about that). Here is a screen-shot of the new Futerati: After the initial launch of Futerati (see the old site, here), I was very fortunate to hook up with NZ programming wiz and Tangerine Works Founder Nick Taylor (via Twitter!) who offered to help us to make Futerati a lot more attractive by actually displaying the images and videos within each tweet, and by turning the whole project into a really fancy feed aggregator and powerful tweet-reader. Nick was joined by my designer and web-master Benjamin Blust (of B2Media) and a really nice, crowd-sourced effort was underway. Thanks, guys! The new Futerati now features 20+ categories of personally selected futurists, visionaries, bloggers, journalists, authors, VCs, startups,...
