Streaming - Social Media, Mobile Lifestyles (The New Book)

STREAMING: #Social Media, Mobile Lifestyles artfully combines relevant and often humorous short stories to explain and support findings from primary research on youth engagement via social networks and mobile phones. In addition to traditional methods such as surveys, focus group sessions and interviews, the author, Marcia Forbes, by way of virtual ethnography, immerses herself in life online to give a sensitive and true to life account of how social media, Twitter and Facebook but also the use of mobile phones (especially smartphones) are changing not only how we communicate and but also our very way of everyday life.

Mobile TV via Cell Phone in Jamaica

There was a great deal of excitement regarding the prospect of mobile TV via one's cell phone. This service was launched in Jamaica one year ago, in January 2011. This is what I wrote at the time. Today it seems the excitement has all but disappeared. The flavour of the day, March 2012, is 4G. Who knows what it will be tomorrow.
