I like to get out and meet the public relations people behind many of the big successes in the mobile industry. Whilst a lot of media colleagues are rather traditional when it comes to PR ('never make them the story, always slam the phone down on at least one PR chap every week to keep'em keen'), I have a different perspective. They perform a much needed role -- and they're often hugely, hugely useful when MIR readers are trying to get contacts at some of the industry giants. For instance, I referred at least three people to Alexis Dalrymple of Hotwire PR during the MIR Mixer event last week. Each reader was hoping/trying to get in touch with Blackberry. Who better than one of the chaps who handles their public relations? To this end I've made the PR people the story. So now and again I'll be running features here and on Mobile Industry Review about the people behind the news. First up, I managed to grab the very same Alexis Dalrymple along with colleagues Lauren and Dom (from sister agency, 33 Digital) and got them to say hi on camera.
Kudos and thanks for taking the time guys!
I managed to grab Jay Fenton from HowlerTech at the MIR Mixer last week to find out what he thought of the SpinVox debacle (Jay has a lot of experience in the voice/telephony sector) and also to catch up on his rather nifty python Wordpress client, Scribe.
Lynette Swift of Conexall demonstrated some rather nifty voice telephony services (I was particularly keen to get a look at their point-and-click conferencing facilities). In this video, filmed at the MIR Mixer last week, Lynette gives us a preview of what's coming!
In one 2010 Ford Mustang GT sits high school teacher Bill Rosenblum. In the other, his challenger, 18-year-old student, Derek Murrell. Its a drag race face-off in front of a full crowd at Maryland International Raceway to prove whos teaching who. Winner takes home the 2010 Ford Mustang.
Hearing Rosenblums racing stories in class sparked the competitive side of Derek Murrell, who dreamed of taking his teacher on in a race. Lucky for Murrell, Ford Motor Company gave him the chance to do just that, choosing his Mustang dream to be produced as part of the 2010 Mustang Unleashed contest. Mr. Rosenblum was invited to MIR to participate in a drag race event but he had no idea he would be racing Derek or that Ford drag racing legend Bob Glidden would be coaching both drivers.
To watch the entire "Mustang Payback diary from race preparation to the showdown, head to www.the2010mustang.com. While you're there, be sure to submit your Mustang dream for a chance to have your story featured in an upcoming episode.
I grabbed a few minutes with Ed Hodges of mobile-picture-to-physical-postcard service, Touchnote, at today's MIR Mixer event in London. They've got a really smart new service for application developers that allows integration of the Touchnote library with just a few lines of code. The upshot? Developers can now easily monetise their photo-apps. Nice. More details at Touchnote.com.

Step by Step breakdown of what Brock Lesnar did to shut down Frank Mir's half guard at UFC 100: http://www.grapplearts.com/2009/07/brock-lesnar-vs-frank-mir-how-to.htm
Do you think Mir-Hossein Mousavi leadership and charisma will stop at the Iranian border? Not according to the study of search supply (results) verse search demand (search volume). This Iran leader has a chance to give Obama a run for his money on marketing.
Brock Lesnar overwhelmed veteran Frank Mir at UFC 100 with brute strength and a great ground game. This raises the question...is there any heavyweight out there that can beat Lesnar as his cage experience grows.
In Europa breitet sich etwas aus wie eine Krankheit. Jeder erhaelt eine neue Uniform. In Italien trugen die neuen Herrscher schwarze Hemden. In Deutschland waren die Hemden braun. In Japan verbargen sie sich hinter der Armeeuniform, aber in Wirklichkeit gehoerten sie zu einem Geheimbund. Ihr Symbol war ein schwarzer Drache. Die anderen mussten auch ein Symbol haben. Deutschland: Das Hakenkreuz. In Italien das alte roemische Symbol des Liktorenbuendels. In Deutschland nannten sie die neue Ordnung Nationalsozialismus. In Italien hatten sie ein kuerzeres Wort: Faschismus. In Japan hatten sie viele Namen dafuer: Die neue Aera der Erleuchtung, die Neue Ordnung in Asien, die ostasiatische Wohlstandsphaere, aber wie auch immer man es sieht, es war einfach nur altmodischer militaerischer Imperialismus. "Hoert auf zu denken und folgt mir!" rief Hitler. "Ich werde Euch zu den Herren der Welt machen!" Und die Menschen antworteten "Heil!" "Hoert auf zu denken und glaubt mir!" bruelle Mussolini. "Und ich werde den Ruhm des roemischen Imperiums wiederherstellen!" Und die Leute antworteten "Duce, Duce!" "Hoert auf zu denken und folgt Eurem Gottkaiser!" riefen die japanischen Kriegsherren. "Und Japan wird die Welt beherrschen!" Und die Menschen antworteten "Banzai, Banzai!" Alle Symbole aehneln sich darin, dass die konstitutionellen gesetzgebenden Organe ihre Macht aufgaben. Der Reichstag in Berlin. Das Abgeordnetenhaus in Rom. Die Diaet in Japan. Und diese gewaehlten Vertreter wurden Koerperschaften von Handlangern, Jasager-Organisationen. Die auf Stichwort die Worte der Fuehrer applaudierten. Jedes System schaffte die Rede- und Versammlungsfreiheit ab. Sie wollten mit aller Gewalt die Herrschaft und ihnen war jedes Mittel recht. Auch wenn das hiesse die Welt in einen Krieg zu stuerzen...

Lyrics:
Weâve got the greatest job on earth
and weâre not even on earth
weâre orbiting the world, you see
collecting space debris
expended rockets, expired satellites
circling the globe, endangering space flight.
weâre the guys cleaning up the mess
putting astronauts familyâs fears to rest.
you wouldnât believe the premium on my life insurance policy
even a paint chip would take off my arm travelling at orbital velocity
Collectinâ space junk, space waste, space stuff
We make it safe for shuttles to fly
Weâre trash men, weightless trash men!
Ceaning up the crap you left behind

Schweissausbrueche, Herzrasen, Panik - heftige Reaktionen beim Anblick einer Spinne: vor allem Frauen leiden darunter. Und das meist ein Leben lang. Denn: Zu einer Therapie ringen sich nur die wenigsten durch. Zu gross ist die ueberwindung, der Angst ins Auge zu sehen! Die so genannte Spinnenphobie auch Alexandra, Nina und Vanessa leiden darunter. Die drei jungen Frauen haben sich in einem Selbsthilfe-Forum kennen gelernt. Alexandra, Spinnen-Phobikerin: "Ich kann mich in Raeumen nicht aufhalten, wo Spinnen sind. Ich kann nicht in den Keller gehen. Campen faellt mir auch recht schwer." Vanessa, Spinnen-Phobikerin: "Was ich eigentlich in den meisten Faellen mache ist, dass ich irgendwie schreie und versuche die Spinne noch irgendwie im Auge zu behalten, damit ich, wenn jemand kommt, genau sagen kann, wo sie ist." Nina, Spinnen-Phobikerin: "Einem wird schlecht. Ich schwitze. Ich versteife, mein ganzer Koerper ist steif." Alle drei Frauen maechten die panische Angst loswerden und entschliessen sich zu einer Therapie. Im virtuellen Raum will Alexandra ihre Phobie verlieren. Eine alternative Methode moechte Nina ausprobieren: Das umstrittene "Wegklopfen". Die klassische Konfrontationstherapie soll Vanessa helfen.
