Skype conference

Last Monday I went to this month Mobile Monday conference. After Google, it was this time hosted by Skype. The theme was mobile social networking. It's a topic that interests me at the moment. A few of the speakers drew comparisons between the web and the mobile world. A few claims were maid that online communities should really suit the mobile world but that it is mainly due to the data charges that it doesn't really take off. There was a guy from 3Uk talking about SeeMe TV, an online video sharing service. The difference there is that once you publish a video you get paid every time somebody watches your clip. That also means that it will cost you money (10p) to watch a video. Probably not my type of community but I can see why people can be interested. There also was a demo by the people from Pitch, an ad-funded mobile networking service. Looks quite interested but again not so much my type of thing. And the last and most interesting demo was from SoonR (I'll talk about it in my next entry so watch this space).
It was an interesting evening, not to mention a good opportunity to meet up with the boys - and girl - from my previous company.
