As I write this, I’m sitting in a cafe. Around me, there are five people on laptops — four of them are MacBooks. Four other people are using tablets — all four are iPads. Welcome to the Post-PC world.

The most startling thing here isn’t Apple’s marketshare and growth (as the article is focusing on), but how Nokia’s smartphone marketshare skidded from 38% to 15% in one year!
Plot that on a trendline and it doesn’t look good for Nokia at all by this time next year!

Top 10 Occupations on Google+ (as at 13 July 2011)
Yep, that figures. The early adopter crowd abounds. I hope Google manage to attract the mass majority too - unlike with Google Wave. Once the geeks moved off Wave onto the next thing, there was a void which was not filled by the sneezers and mass majority. They really need to manage this transition to main stream carefully, IMHO.

What’s your company’s social media engagement plan?

Check out what KLM did. Not earth shattering, and perhaps a little corny, but still I like that they made it and “IRL” experience. Nice!

There is no polite way to say this, but it’s true — BlackBerry smartphone apps suck. Even PlayBook, with all its glorious power, looks like a Fisher Price toy with its Adobe AIR/Flash apps.

zen bones...

Steve Mathew's Blog

Follow @SteveMathew

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
