Software Everywhere — David Beers on Mobile Computing

Carnival of the Mobilists #67 is up over at WapReview and, as usual, it's a great way to get the pulse of mobility in a few minutes time.

I'm starting a new project for uber-cool Denver-based Internet company NewsGator this week, so no time to do my usual long-winded commentary on the Carnival. But if you have time to read only one thing from it, skip my entry and go straight to Mike Mace's hilarious April Fool's satire about his experiences beta testing the ultimate social networking tool. Look out, Twitter and Jaiku! A less satirical more research-based critique of the direction that social networking is going can be found in Kathy Sierra's recent post: "Is Twitter TOO Good?" Kathy pretty well sums up my concerns about the whole thing, so naturally I insist that you go read her now. Then close your browser and get your head into some interesting work!

Thanks to Dennis for picking my two-headed monster post about personalization and contextuality as his favorite. I'm flattered. But really, you guys shouldn't encourage me.
