Lectures, Predictions, The Peperoni Glühwein Reception, our xmas hostess and me.
2008 – Year of the Mobile Web
On this First MobileMonday Germany National Summit in Frankfurt Peperoni was one of the event sponsors and after the several interesting lectures we made The Peperoni Glühwein Reception. The event program was about Mobile Trends 2008. Mostly I enjoyed the lecture of Russell with his 10 prediction for 2008; the first one was that ‚2008 is the „Year of the Mobile Web“ … but not in Germany!‘. Prediciton # 2 for 2008 was ‚The rise and rise of Specialist MoSoSo (Germany is the world leader)‘ and showing peperonity.com as an best practices – honestly, we didn’t pay Russell for that :o)
The original prediciton can be found here: 1,2,3 4,5,6 7,8,9,10
