MLove at MWC

Dear Party MLOVErs, You are invited to the second MLOVE @ MWC the final after work party!

We are thrilled to announce the debut of our sleek new Alliance Platform via the Mobile Monday .net grand central website! This effort targets our well-established network with engagement opportunities from major global supporters, using custom widgets for dynamic updating feeds wrapped in a smooth slider design, to deliver relevant and direct in page content offerings.

As noted on the top page when we re-launched here some 18-months ago:
While MoMo has traditionally meant face-to-face encounters, the need for digital interaction between stakeholders is increasingly clear. This platform is another step towards addressing the demand for members to connect with developments in the community, spanning over 100 locations worldwide.

That same principle holds true for the many sponsors of Mobile Monday events around the world over the years. “Building trusted physical connections with members is – and continues to be – the core of Mobile Monday” stated Jari Tammisto, CEO of Mobile Monday, “at the same time, our online network provides global 24/7 reach for all players and this solution enables another strong contact channel”.

It’s a great honor to feature IdeasProject, concept by Nokia, as our launch partner for this effort. The collaboration is significant in that Mobile Monday was also founded in Finland and we share an open approach to innovation through mutual exchange across all borders. According to Pia Erkinheimo, Head of Crowdsourcing at Nokia, “The philosophy of MoMo resonates well with IdeasProject. IdeasProject’s creation power is truly global with the reach to 204 countries and autonomous region. It’s idea crowdsourcing community based on voluntarism and open innovation. Ideas found from IdeasProject seek execution, while MoMo members get hands-on inspiration for their businesses.” Erkinheimo continued: “Ideas are the currency of the future. However, people are more important than ideas – and that’s what Mobile Monday is all about – people.”

Naturally there are positive discussions with several potential partners to join this campaign and of course we look forward to expressions of interest from others who would be keen to participate. The global website has gained impressive traction and we have an attractive kit, with friendly pricing and full stats reporting, available to bonafide requests for review.

“Bringing the Mobile Community Together” has long been our central stated mission, we look forward to bolt-on more value added options here in 2012. As ever, your kind support & continued feedback is most welcome.. Smile it’s (always) Monday!

Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic, the local event organization focused on mobile issues — which has been ramping up its attention to app development as of late — will kick-off the 2011 Mobile Application Forum and Bootcamp this Thursday afternoon. [Full Disclosure: Technically Philly is a media sponsor of this event].

“[Mobile Monday] has always been very business focused. We’re aiming to get wider and encompass the development community and the app ecosystem,†says Chuck Sacco, Mobile Monday’s president and chair.

“Our aim is to help any businesses that are trying to make decisions about mobile. What should they be doing? Where should they invest resources?â€

To coordinate, the organization is working closely with Fox School of Business early-stage venture forum program Mid-Atlantic Diamond Ventures and Temple’s new Urban Apps and Maps Studio, the $700,000 grant project we covered last month.

The event will focus on product roadmaps, costs issues, funding hurdles and more, and will feature representatives from Comcast Interactive Media, Bentley Systems, Yorn, Dell Boomi, and Ben Franklin Technology Partners, among others.

Though Mobile Monday has hosted development workshops like this in the past, Sacco says because there’s been a lot of growth from the mobile development community, there will be plenty of takeaways from Thursday’s event.

“They’ve now got a year or two of solid experience behind them. You see many more examples, a lot more traction. It’s matured to that next level,†he says. Via: Technically Philly
