So what is the data on mobile marketing? How many people have cell phones? Is it just teenagers with smart phones and execs touting their Crackberries slung to their side stepping into the center of the street at high noon ready for a gunsling with a Bluetooth ear piece stapled to their ear?
Ok, yes it is just the execs with the annoying Bluetooth earpieces implanted in their ear canal. But aside from the last fact, er, there is a lot of data. Below is a nice image with some really interesting numbers for you, now you don't have to read.
Phones are no longer just a communication tool, they are a...
This is the graduation commencement address that Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, gave at Stanford in 2005. In this powerful speech, Steve recounts three personal stories from his personal life in which his main emphasis is, " the only way to do great work is to love what you do."
Personally, I found his speech to be powerful and motivational, so enjoy!
Below is the entire transcript of the speech...
The idea that your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends is sometimes a very interesting concept. How many people (person B) on Twitter or Facebook randomly show up on another friends network (person A) friend list and you KNOW they probably have zero connections? Maybe there are connections through the need to know. Here are my thoughts on some possible possibilities: 1. My friend 'A' came on my network and began seeing who is my influencers and found friend 'B'. Or friend 'B' came on my network and found friend 'A'.

emphasizes "youth and energy." The strategy has led to a work force with an average age of under 30 and with less than 2 percent of employees over 40, according to the claim. Google employed just more than 1,600 people in 2003. 1600 new highers and only 2 percent are over 40. If you are not "Googling" Google to see what all they are doing then you need to
