These guys get mobility – do you?

I was doing the usual following of interesting links and stumbled again onto the Rabble site. It’s pretty cool, but it doesn’t support my operator, so I can’t really play with it.

But, here are the guys behind it. I read their site and really feel that these guys get mobility. Their thinking centers around user created content (note: NOT consumption of content).

I was reading some stats last night – communication will still be the biggest chunk of mobile revenues. Obviously voice will always dominate (most forecasts have been saying for years now 70-80% of total mobile revenues), but p2p (i.e. communication) is the next biggest and includes messaging (text, picture, video, email, chat).

As I have said before, people want to communicate. The new phones with imaging and video capabilities are allowing folks to communicate with their own content. Services that make it easy for folks to capture, manage, and share their personal content will be the winners in the mobile space. My money is on Rabble.

Here’s a quote from their site. Go and read more of their thinking.

Link: Mobility is the key.

A PC without the internet is still a PC. A mobile device without the network is useless. We cannot refer to people as "users" anymore; they are mobile nodes on a participatory network which is constantly morphing around them as they move about.

Another great line from Rabble: ‘You’re still blogging from your PC? That’s so last year.’
