DSG’s Tim Chambers and NDN just published a key, new white paper on the power of mobile media. Simon Rosenberg, the President of NDN describes it:
Of all the papers, events, thinkers and articles on this subject, few have been as influential to us in assembling this vision as Tim Chambers’ path-breaking paper on the coming age of mobile… it opened our eyes, powerfully, to how this nascent internet age, characterized at that time by the Dean campaign and the rise of progressive bloggers here in the US, was about to give way to something much more ubiquitous and powerful – the age of mobile. Much of what Tim anticipated then has come to pass… So to help us make sense of all this we asked Tim to update his influential early work with a new look at this remarkable age of mobile. What follows in this paper is his take and where things stand today and where they may be headed….
On March 7th we hosted an event here at NDN with Suzanne Hall and Reed Hundt to help us release Tim’s exciting new paper “The Mobile Revolution: Revisited.” Full video of the event is available online here and the paper is available for download at the bottom of this page. Tim’s thorough and insightful paper concludes with a series of concrete best-practices that will be essential for businesses, organizations, political activists, and everyone seeking to remain relevant in the years ahead.
