Editor's Notes
Almost impossible to talk social without mobile .. The two are incredibly intertwined.
Growth in social networks is not slowing down. Facebook has 800Million users, twitter 300Million+ …Google+ could become a major player …Social is accelerating, not slowing down
Is there a way for you to leverage this clear love that people have for posting photos to facebook? Can you think of way to leverage this and provide value to sponsors? Some simple ideas coming up.

If you can crack the code, mobile and social can become a revenue generator. Let’s look at a few examples. My contention is that capitalizing on this trend enhances how you get discovered and what drive people to your business.Example: YelpYelp is a review network many people use for restaurants, especially when travelling. You bring it up, give it some information and it suggest restaurants for you. You can read the reviews and make a decision.What if it was connected to Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook … and told me a great friend of mine was at a specific restaurant? All of a sudden, everything else becomes irrelevant. What if I decided to just use check-in in systems to decide where to go eat? Restaurants should be aware of this & behave differently: they would motivate people at the restaurant to check-in. Example: different adds for different people when listening to radio on mobile apps:-right now view as no value-could deliver ads base on where I am at the time-if it could convince me to sign in with Facebook, could target audio ads.
Reduce the friction associated with paying and things will change quickly.
I’m not super bullish on QR codes … will take a long time to educate. Critical to have it built in to phones. Maybe RF or NFC will be bigger. Either way, there will be an easy way for the phone to interact with physical objects .. Especially when there is money involved.Here is an interesting video that might spark some ideas.
Kids love camera apps: LOL cam, Cam wow …If you want youth to interact, integrate a photo function into your apps and provide fun enhancements, which could be provided by sponsors.
The solution consists of a proprietary content management system for customers to manage their apps and proprietary software for iOS, Blackberry, Android, HTML5 and web widget. This proprietary technology has been in development for 2 years.
The key difference between a native app and a web app is that a native app is a program that you download and run on your phone whereas a web app runs through a browser.Key benefit of a native app:-better experience: looks and feels better-can access phone features like GPS (so you can see where you are on a map), calendar (add/remove from calendar directly from the app), access the camera-search optimized: if you have an app, yet another way to be found-don’t need internet connectionBenefit of Web App:-simpler & universal
