Web 2.0 - let’s go mobile

“The mobile space is the most interesting thing around” said today Eric Schmidt, Google’s CEO, at the web2.0expo. So, I thought how lucky we are, that we are also working on a mobile version for 8Hands that will offer the ability to get all the comments from MySpace, friends requests, RSS feeds, Flickr pictures and YouTube videos directly to the mobile phone.

Last night was party time. You can see our colleague Debora scholtz at the Pageflakes party. After that I attended the Snap party. They launched a new and interesting product called Snapshot, offering the ability to see preview of websites’ content on blogs.

A few amazing figures from today:
Only 0.16 % out of YouTube users upload content !!!!!!!!

120,000 new blogs are opened each day, but only 21% of the world’s 70M blogs are active. All the rest begin to write and give up easily.

1.5M posts are written every day !!!!

3M bloggers write posts each day (not me !!!!)

And the most common language for blogs is Japanese (37% of blogs), English second (32%). On the language chart we can find Persian at no. 10 - blogging is fast growing in Iran…

These are the numbers from Technorati. With results like these, I think we are really only in the beginning of the revolution.

For those of you who need one more proof for the mobile importance, Nokia gave sponsorship to the conferences party. With their N series, they claim it to be the real web 2.0 machine. Offering 5m pixel camera, VOIP, and all the other PC-like features, they are really making big steps towards becoming an internet company and a mobile one.
