The Elimination of TIme and the Challenges of Crafting a Mobile Service

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Priya Prakash, Flirtomatic
Description:
The web has a tendancy to eliminate time from our life. Online catch up tv and BBC i-Player make it possible to watch something without the restrictions of a schedule. The mobile phone is a time centric device. Phone calls, text messages are time specific events. The differences between web and mobile are many and varied, but what are the challenges, pitfalls and advantages of building a succesful mobile social networking service?
Questions
Answered:
  1. What do you mean the Web is eliminating time?
  2. What impact does the elimination of time have on me?
  3. Will mobile reinstate time back into my life?
  4. How does crafting a mobile service differ from a web service?
  5. Can't i just port my web service onto mobile?
  6. Won't a web service transferrd onto mobile still be just as good as it was on the web?
  7. Is the fact that i can watch anything at anytime via the web a bad thing?
  8. If you have a mobile service what's the use of having a browser web page?
  9. What can a mobile social network do that a web based one can't?
  10. Hasn't Flirtomatic had it's share of failures?

I love this one! It makes a very potent and concise observation on a big issue that's relevant to anyone developing services on mobile. It gets my vote, hope it gets picked :-)

There are some many new axes introduced by mobile devices: location, presence, connections, even activity (in a crude way). Could be a great session, and Priya Prakash has many insights that need more public airing.

Interesting, very. And with time still being time, and I would love to know if Priya has any insights into relative value we place on "schedule-unrestricted" time versus "time-specific events". Hope this gets picked.

Indeed!!! I have been waiting for the wi-max to kick in so I can use my 3Generation Smart Device-3SD and stretch it to the max :) This is a brilliant thought...
