Twitter me silly

Unless you've been under a rock or living in a small village in the Amazon Jungle, you probably wouldn't know about Twitter. So to get you up to speed to what's new out there, I would like you to Tweet this out. www.Twitter.com

Wiki Describes Twitter as a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send updates (otherwise known as tweets) which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. In simple words, text what you're doing to the world instantly and follow what other people across the globe are doing. Sounds simple right? You can Tweet that you're at the coffee shop, or Tweet the latest news before it hits the blog world or even Fox News. You can tweet all day or read other people tweets, message other tweets privately or public. It's a pretty cool tool if you need to get the word out fast…..ahummmmm….. If you are in P.R. and have not started looking for Twitter influencers then you are the behind times. There are sooooo many Twitter applications for both PC and Mac that it blows my mind. Just see for yourself - http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps

SO!! College students Twitter the answers to that next exam, Paparazzi Twitter your photos before Perez Hilton, Someone please Twitter the next summer pool party in Los Angeles, CA.

Make sure you check out the Twitter knockoffs and tell me what you think about them.

The SideKick Mobile Video!?!?!?!?

What could come after the SideKick LX? What features could Microsoft Corp/Danger Inc. (or is it PMX?) possibly offer besides that all so amazing flip keypad used for text messaging and instant messaging people while driving?

I mean the Myspace application has saved so many addicted Myspacers lives, (freakin Myspace crack heads). But what else can SideKick offer that would make an urban geek say wow!?

How about a video application and the ability to record video and send videos to your friends and family instantly from your SK.

Well here is a rumor for your asses. There is a rumor of a Video support coming soon to the Sidekick LX.

As seen from Hiptop3.com, the two screen shots confirm that both video recording and video playback will be included in the rumored update.

If this rumor is true, it will possibly be an OTA (Over The Air) update.

(Hey Money, I bet your Palm can't do that.)

So I will keep you SK LX lovers updated on what will maybe the next best thing since Kool-Aid and Jordan Sneakers.

Are you having a sexual relationship with your mobile phone?

Hey everyone,

please bear with me as I catch up on a lot of things. Man it sucks re-installing your entire program after your computer has crashed, but enough with my lame excuses.

Recently I did a little survey to see how many people are having sexual relationships with their mobile phones. Okay it's not really sexual relationships, but more of an unconscious interdependency. The survey was more for fun to see what people had to say. But I found that people are really dependent on their cell phone.

I ask the following questions to people, (and all those who would like to, please feel free to respond by commenting on my blog with your own responses).

What’s up friends from the past and the present day, I am doing a study to see how many of us are cheating on our partners and am having SEX with our cell phones?

I ask that you all answer my questions honestly, and don't be ashamed because you might find out that we all do it.

Have you ever slept with your cell phone in your bed?

Do you sometimes hop out of the shower just to answer you cell phone?

Have you ever text, instant message, or talk to someone on your cell phone while you sat on the toilet?

Do you ride in your car with your cell phone in your lap?

Would get upset if (girlfriend or boyfriend) was looking through your cell phone?

What other………………let’s say different things do you do with your cell phone?

I was surprise to find that more people use their phones as alarm clocks, (yet they try to deny that the phone is in the bed with them), That they use their cell phones to store music and listen to music on their cell phones while on trains, buses, or when they are board, their cell phone is usually at arm's length at all times, and it's a true split between what would make a person more upset - finding their boyfriend or girlfriend cheating or losing a very expensive cell phone with all your data and contacts.

For many working-class and the "discretionary" poor (those whom have enough money to buy that iphone, new sneakers, and designer bags but can't afford rent, or monthly bills), their cell phones are in away their only personal computers.

Household income in the United States

So just like Dru Hill
Lyrics to Sleeping In My Bed, be careful because you might wake up to your love one only to notice that you are separated by a glowing blue light – ringing – ringing – ringing

DRU HILL LYRICS

"In My Bed"

I got this feeling, and I just can't turn it loose
That somebody's been getting next to you
I don't want to walk around knowin' I was your fool
'Cuz being the man that I am
I just can't lose my cool

My friends keep telling me about the things that's going on babe
But deep in my heart baby I hope that I'm wrong
Yes I hope I'm wrong but I know it babe

Somebody's sleeping in my bed, my bed baby
Somebody's takin' my place (baby)
Somebody's sleeping in my bed baby
And you know just what I mean, oh oh oh oh oh!

Taking mobile alerts to the next level. (Throw out your old radars for this one.)

So your minding your own business going down route 101 doing 101 mph until your radar goes off alerting you that there is a speed trap near by, but by this time it's way too late. You've just been pulled over by the man.

Well of course its your fault for speeding, but maybe that old-school radar is a little bit outdated. I'm not saying you should throw it in the trash, but maybe a little bit extra protection could never hurt. (Like using birth control pills and condoms.) So since everyone is so mobile now, maybe your not so advance mobile GPS system can help you out. At least Trapster.com thanks so with their speed trap sharing mobile alert system. (You try saying that three times fast).

www.Trapster.com is the early alert warning system for speeders. As you approach a known threat, you'll get an audio alert on your mobile device, (Audio is provided by Samuel L. Jackson saying - "SLOW DOWN MUTHA F*&KA! SLOW DOWN!). No no, I'm just kidding, but you really will receive a audio alert on your mobile phone.

Pete Tenereillo, the developer of Trapster say the system simply requires punching in a few keys such as "pound-1" to submit information to Trapster's database alerting Trapsetr mobile members of locations of highway speed traps, red-light cameras and other hot-spots for ticket-free driving.

The free service can automatically detect location using mobile devices' GPS capabilities or tap their Wi-Fi and get location from a database run by Skyhook Wireless.

Sounds hot right? But what makes this even more news worthy is that Trapster uses a combination of new technologies including Jott's (http://jott.com) voice over I.P. converter. "SAY WHAT!?" In simple terms - technology that converts your voice into emails, text messages, alerts, reminders, lists & appointments.


Information about red-light cameras and where police tend to operate speed traps is kept in Trapster's database indefinitely. Information about active speed traps is kept for an hour, with the idea that officers may move on.

Users can choose the types of cameras or traps for which they want alerts.

To discourage pranksters and law-enforcement officials from flooding the system with bogus locations, users can rate others on the accuracy of their contributions, and those getting better ratings will carry more weight.

So if you are known to speed "Tonya", then you should download this free tool to your phone.

F.Y.I. Trapster™ works best with GPS phones that automatically keep track of where you are, but if you don't have a GPS phone or don't want to download the mobile application, thanks to our friends at Jott you can still use Trapster™, hands free, to report traps! Here's how to get started using Trapster™ with Jott on your mobile phone (you must of course first sign up for Trapster™.

This is my response to all those people who keep asking?

Hey everyone.



I had to take this moment to respond and clarify a couple of things. Time and time again while kicking it with friends, family, marketing and P.R. colleagues, and once in a while with the drunken girl that's in need of some serious gum, (preferably wrigley's big red gum to cut all that drunken funk out her mouth) I have to explain to them what it is I do. I explain to them that I work with New-Media, and that I am a Interactive New-Media & Marketing Consultant.

A few that are tech industry professionals get what I do off the bat, while others............................................ don't quite understand, or say they understand; "Yeah yeah, you create websites.", or "You work with computers." For the people that ask me what it is I do, I have nothing but respect for your question and will try to answer it simply and also educate you on this growing field of work. For those whom think I just create websites or just work with computers, please visit the following link to help you out a little, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_media).

Now to explain my blog "Interactive New-Media Marketing" a.k.a "UrbanGeekBlog". It is basically made up three segments:

1 - Gaming
Keeping you updated on the gaming business & companies. Not just the games, but how new technologies are allowing games to become interactive, mobile, and changing the way people communicate.

Get the insider of what you don't see in the Best Buy or Game Stop stores.






2 - Web 2.0
Stay updated on the ever changing world on social sites, online games, blogs, P2P file sharing sites, all what's hot & what's not on the world wide web. See how politics, music, and even your day-to-day life is digitally connected.






3 - Mobile
Since I'm a little older, I can remember when having a pager in middle school was the thing, and since I considered myself to be a pimp, I was the first to rock a pager watch. But now 10 year olds riding on skate-boards have BlackBerries and Nokia N-Series phones. This is just in the U.S. in which we are 5 years behind in mobile technology. So stay updated on what's going on in the world when it comes to mobile.

So please stay up on my blogs and get educated.

SHOUT OUTS!

Thanks Heather for stooping through the box and keeping me company. (Sometimes I get lonely.)

How inde music artist keep it mobile

In a industry where it seems the major music labels are getting the short end of the stick (with reported record losses). It is pretty obvious that music is being consumed by people more than ever before. Thanks to the likes of new technology and companies with visions like Jamster, Steve Jobs' iTunes and iPods. Now you are able to download and convert you music and videos to MP3, AVI and other formats, put them on your PSP, Zune, SideKick, and even Xbox 360 and run with them.

Within the great interactive new-media world, indie and unsigned artist are able to take control of their music sales without owing the middle man or the loan shark labels tons of money. Not only are artist able to control sales, they are able to communicate with their audience unlike ever before.

Take Broadtexter.com (www.broadtexter.com) for example,

If you are a music artist, a fashion icon, model with sex appeal, or just have something you thank you can create a mobile fan club with, then this mobile sms and mobile media is the one for you.



No need for fans to send you fan mail with envelopes & posted stamps, have them text you (live mobile to online & mobile to online chat sessions) and send mobile fan pix, be bff's with your fans. Create your own broadtexter page viewable as a widget or desktop application, and on your mobile phone.

Create real-time text alerts of shows, events, guess appearances. You can even schedule your alerts or even regionalize them for specific area like New York City, NY or even Culver City, CA all from your account online or right from your own phone.
So get silly and mobilize your fan club and stay connected with your fans. Its so Free.

OH! and if your not a music artist please do not fret because Broadtexter is still built around fans wanting to stay up on their artist. You can join your favorite artist fan club and stay in contact with them and not thier P.R. agency or someone pretending to be them. Share real-time pictures and real-time chats with artist and other fan club members.

(Don't worry folks, no one will ever get your mobile number. It's kept private from both fans and artist.)

So their you have it people. My mobile pick of the day.

SHOUT OUT!
I have to give a shout out to Tonya for her insider blog on the underground music and up coming artist called THEEARGASM (http://theeargasm.blogspot.com).

Holy Shyt!! Kyte.com beats live communities to the mobile punch!

Okay peoplez, this is the first time I had to combine segments, but this is too much of a coincidence.

Kyte.tv Kyte.com must be reading my thoughts, or they are just forward thinking and understand that the U.S. is in the ice ages when it comes to mobile while other countries like Korea and Japan are five years ahead of the game.

Japanese Mobile TV phone - Viera (Not available in the USA)

In my previous blog titled -

The incredible not eatable LIVE video community

I spoke about the idea of a live video streaming from both mobile phones and Webcams. Well guess what. Kyte.com has beaten the live community .com industry to the punch. (Sorry Scott, I guess I was a little to late with that idea.)



Up till now, Kyte allowed people to create their own personal TV channels on the Web by uploading videos from their cell phones to various widgets and to Kyte.tv. Today, Kyte is adding live video streaming from both mobile phones and Webcams, which is broadcast through your personal Kyte channel and archived for later viewing. So no matter if your at home or at the mall you can chat live with live video streaming. This achievement is so big and so hot that even Curtis James Jackson also known as 50 Cent lifted a eyebrow and decided to test Kyte.com out with his ThisIs50 campaign.




So there you have it Jetsons. A mobile live video community. What's next, flying skateboards?

The baddest smartphone on the block (xperiax1)

If your a mobile fanatic you probably already know about this doohickey. Its called the XPERIAX1. The name is supposed to sound like experience, but I hope that wont null the fact that this is a hot ass phone.

Not only do you get the cool effects of a iphone, you get a smartphone with Windows 6.1 with a full keyboard that slides out (for all you side-kick lovers), a 3-inch touch display at a resoultion of 800x480 (what!? did someone say that is standard for dvd quality on a mobile phone?)

The damn phone even has WiFi, HSDPA/HSUPA, and GSM access. So drug dealers, killers and any other criminals need not buy, cause your stupid ass will be tracked down. But for you common folk wanting a navigation system on your phone, well here you go.

This baby also has 400MB of memory........................................... Now what was I saying? oh yeah, This baby also has 400MB of memory.

So if you are a in style type of person, baller, or just like the latest shyt. Then save your dollars kiddies, cause this phone is on the market the second half of 2008.
