Carnival of the Mobilists

You have to start SOMEWHERE – @COTMOBILISTS Twitter launches – no followers yet – but let’s change that!!

This week it’s an encore Carnival with Phil Barnett hosting for the second time over at Burning the Bacon, a blog dedicated to “mobile and interactive marketing insight, perspectives and propaganda.” It’s a solid line-up of analysis and commentary provided by a mix of newcomer and veteran Mobilists. A special welcome to NewDigitalCafé, a blog  founded by Randy Giusto, who was previously IDC’s GVP/GM of Consumer, Digital and Social Media, Mobility, and Computing Research. In addition to his in-depth look at the potential impact of Android tablets, we explore the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition, the Droid, the many exciting use cases for SMS alerts and ask ourselves whether the time isn’t NOW for NFC.daybreakers 2010

Mobilestance.com Hughes eli book has the honor of hosting a truly milestone Carnival of the Mobilists (COM) this week. The roundup of the very best in mobile blogging counts 200 (!) posts since it was founded in 2005 by expert mobile-watchers including Russell Buckley and Carlo Longino over at MobHappy (This is long before Russell took the helm at VP Global Alliances at AdMob and Carlo launched his career as an independent consultant/analyst and regular contributor to MobHappy.) This week features a trio of posts looking at the impact of the Google acquisition and a few surprises. So, check it out and join the conversation!

This week the Carnival stops at the new-look (and new logo!) Mobileslate, where host Eric Chan takes the helm. The eclectic collection of posts includes a closer look at app stores (facts, figures and payment mechanisms) and a welcome deep-dive into key mobile market figures from our favorite pundits Chetan Sharma and Tomi Ahonen.

This week the Carnival comes from MSearchGroove, where Peggy Anne Salz, the new “Keeper of the Tents,” takes over from our dear friend and colleague Judy Breck. This week collection of posts provides us welcome access to keys lists and industry resources as well as the inside track on what makes one social network such a phenomenal success.The Book of Eli
