lss'09 mobile panel cloudmade
DESCRIPTION
Mobile – The Future of Apps is Bright This panel is all about apps – in particular social and local apps (and some mapping which is of course a key part of local)… Phones started out as social devices – we made voice calls. Then we had SMS (text) and then email (think Blackberry). Now we have smart phones, iPhones and Gphones – personal mobile devices. What does the present and future hold for “local social” on Mobile? How does the rise of the iPhone and emergence of Android change the game? We will examine the fast growth of and impact of applications (and app stores). We may also see some wicked demos, discuss new business models and view what an ‘augmented’ real local world might look like. - Jim Brown, CTO CloundmadeTRANSCRIPT

Advertising Revenues
Most of the impressions that will hit consumers, and most searches that are contextually and location oriented, will occur through highly targeted and trusted vertical apps not through broad horizontal applications. The vertical apps will often carry a strong social component that keeps them relevant to the end user.
