What keeps me up at night

February 1, 2009

These sorts of questions are circling around my head these days: What information is broadcast from a mobile phone in a passive state?

One common theme I’m observing is a decidedly cynical, “consumers are in control of your brand!” rally cry.  I’m calling bullshit. If [...]
