OK – at the risk of this blog beginning to look like a blog on Mobile Marketing (It is not- in case you are a first timer- I cover business and marketing/advertising mostly)- here is another post on the proceedings at the Mobile Marketing Forum at Singapore- in pictures and words- a little something for the flavor of the event. There were of course many more sessions but these are just the some that I like personally liked…

Here’s a quickie- and since pictures speak louder than words, I have 3 of them here- less words more pix.
Got a chance to hobnob with the who’s who in the Mobile Marketing space- on the eve of mobile marketing association’s Asia conference- read on…

Leading to the MMA Mobile Marketing Forum Asia, I BrainStormed with Colin Miles, Co-Founder of i-Pop. Some gems from the discussion:
*If any youth campaign doesn’t have mobile front then it’s not a gap it’s a yawning chasm;

A brief round up of the un-conference- Barcamp at Singapore – the third season- lots of interesting topics- some beyond the digital media domain and covering things of interest like- music. Check some photos taken on the location and the attendees

Social Media Breakfast: Attended this on a Saturday- and blogging on Monday. But I am not the only one apparently. Makes me think: Do bloggers take a Sunday Break? I think I was amongst the senior citizens in the event- what with many seeming to be about 20-ish. One of them looked like 13 years old (she was not though- she was a ripe old 22). Does that speak anything about the blogging scene in Singapore? Check out some bloggers I met at the event…

I am seeing this new face of Singapore- people love to organize such events and be a part of these events. Get inside Nov 2008 MeetUp of Singapore PHP users group…

The Digital Media Festival Singapore happened on 31st October 2008. The theme was Televesion 2.0 There was a conference section, exhibitions (mobile content and game showcase) and fringe programmes- though the conference was the big draw for me.
