Developers of shareware applications all have at least one heart-warming tale about an especially stupid user – one such story is below: “I bought your weather application, and I it does not show the weather on my Treo” Asked him what cities and what prefs he was using. He said – “how do I know that ?” I told him – “launch the app, …” He said – “How do I launch the app…” Me – “Tap its icon in the launcher” Customer – “I dont have the app icon…” So we go hence and forth for about a week exchanging emails… And the last email was “oh – you mean I need to install the app on the Treo ?” Enjoy… Related posts: Dislocating customer care is dumb Palm Customer care – brutal edition Total customer care f***-up at Palm’s

We hear a lot from so-called “industry experts” or analysts who make huge claims as to how mobile marketing is going to “take off” this year, or that this year “isn’t quite the year for mobile marketing” and so on.  Most of the time these claims are based purely on opinion and lack any real substance. A new survey sponsored by a partnership between Millennial Media and DM2PRO decided to go directly to the source — meaning major brands and advertisers themselves– to see just how mobile marketing is working out for them, and to get an understanding as to how they plan on spending their marketing dollars using the mobile channel in the future. 100 leading agencies were surveyed to compile and in-depth analysis of mobile advertising performance and forecasts of future spending.  Dubbed “The State of the Industry,” the survey compiled data to provide a critical view on where the industry stands today, where the industry is and is not, and why agencies and publishers are planning to buy mobile in the future.
