Slate Magazine (blog)Android A Bad Deal... For GoogleInformationWeekAnd the other revenues from Android? What other revenues from Android? Google Play is, from what I can see, the only way Google makes money off Android.


Marty Note
In a week when Google missed their earnings estimate and the number of searches done last quarter went DOWN it is worth asking if the Google era is over (http://www.scoop.it/t/digital-revolution-leaderboard/p/2980796143/why-google-missed-earnings-today-in-a-single-word-mobile ).


The era of websites and searches is giving way to MOBILE and MOBILE be creatin' some chaos around here. The digital mafia (Amazon, Google, Facebook) have been caught behind. The Mobile First Moveent is looking prescient and ahead ( http://www.scoop.it/t/mobile-revolution/p/1277764146/a-book-apart-mobile-first ).

Convergence can make 2013 the true ‘Year of Mobile’

Convergence can make 2013 the true ‘Year of Mobile’ | Mobile Revolution | Scoop.it
Guest Post As 2012 comes to a close, we bid farewell to one “year of mobile” and get ready to embark on another. The industry keeps saying this will be the year, and then it isn’t. What gives?...

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

I see 2013 as a watershed year too. Mobile changes everything. In a mobile-centric world:

* Small Snippets Rule.

* Functionality Rules.

* Responsive Design Rules.

* Speed Rules.

* Clear Call To Actions Rule.

Combine mbile with all the change social is bringing and 2013 is going to be amazing.

As I see it, at the moment “mobile” still means too many things to too many people. There’s a serious disconnect among the mobile-related needs and objectives of three key groups in the mobile landscape: brands, consumers, and publishers.


Finally, we need to stop thinking of mobile as world unto itself. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel.

How mobile fits into it all........
