The mobile phone as the social tool of first resort
Dec 22nd 2007NiaLLLarkinUncategorized
The title of this post is a phrase I coined and have been bandying about verbally since last May. I’ve slipped into every conversation. At every opportunity. Albeit to little or no avail. I even lobbed it at Marc Andreesen recently when we met him on the Paddy’s Valley tour. And I’m glad I did. Because today I discovered it bounced back. Its finally been picked up on. In a small way. But by a guy who knows a thing or two. Especially about the untapped potential of the mobile phone as a social tool. Good man Shane McAllister of Mobanode. You made my day :)

Niall,
Many tanks for the trackback - meant to drop a note into the post to email me to find out source, but you beat me to it! Credit where credit due - couldn’t quite remember where I picked it up. but now that I think about it, it could only be from you!! I 100% am behind you on this one…all other efforts fall short… chatting with our friends, sharing experiences, re-living the moment via mobile is where it’s at!!
Thanks for the mention, when Andreesen picks up on it - it’s pints for the the rest of us!
Shane
