How a Mobile Interactive Board Game Impacts Mobile Marketing

I caught a bit of the Kim Komando radio show this weekend and she was talking about a new board game by Hasbro that includes text messaging as part of the game. Turns out it is an old board game with a new twist. CLUE: Secrets and Spies Edition includes a live text messaging feature that makes the game mobile interactive. (Read press release about it here .)

N86: Day 4. N86 Vs. Bungee

Though not strictly part of the Nokia Creative N86 review, I just had to post this video. If you’re sat in a dull office watching your coffee going cold, be sure to feast your eyeballs on this! James recently got to Bungee jump over the Victoria Falls and being the mobile fiend that he is James opted to record the entire experience using his Nokia N86 8MP. Yes there’s some frame tearing, the compression is struggling to make sense of what’s flashing by and the colours are a little off, but hey, considering the circumstances I think the N86 did Mr. Whatley proud! Good work James, that’s a hard act to follow dude!

How does the ‘fully optimised LED unit’ perform as a video light? If you haven’t done so already, please head over to Nokia Conversations and check out the article, ‘Being flash isn’t always the answer’ . It includes some excellent observations from both Damian Dinning (N86 Team Leader) and N82 users alike. One thing is quite clear, the N86 has been optimised for photography, and more specifically low light photography. Some of the decisions that Damian and his team have made make the N86 a superior video capture device.

Mobile Messaging Opportunities to Protect Customers in Today’s Economy

GUEST POST: Ann Cannon, vice president of CSG Systems’ Prairie Interactive Messaging Sadly, some people are taking advantage of today’s economic news and fraud is reaching an all-time high. Crimes such as online identity theft, credit theft and so forth are all peaking. No matter what the economy is doing, this problem impacts consumers and companies of all economic cohorts and business domains. If the worst does happen and someone steals your credit card account information to go on a buying spree, the consumer protection department of your credit card issuer will attempt to contact you, most commonly through voice, as that is the default for most consumers, especially older consumers
