Best & Brightest: Carnival Of The Mobilists #205 Kicks Off With Cloud Computing, ‘Comic’ Business Models & Mobile Trends Survey » mobilegroove

A warm welcome to Ernst Doku over at Omio, a major mobile phone comparison site, who makes his debut today hosting the first COM of the new decade. Despite the holiday slowdown, Mobilists (including Ajit Jaokar, Chetan Sharma and Antoine RJ Wright) have submitted an excellent selection of posts on topics ranging from mobile cloud computing to the results of a comprehensive survey of mobile executives and influencers detailing 2010 mobile trends. You can check out the best in mobile blogging this week here.

Speaking of trends, the Netsize Guide, the mobile industry analysis I have been commissioned to write for the third consecutive year, will also showcase a surprising pick of trends and stats. Netsize, a global commerce and communications solutions providers and MSG partner, has conducted a survey of over 1,000 mobile professionals to identify key trends and drivers behind developments including the adoption of mobile apps, mobile commerce, mobile advertising and social networks. The results will be released in the run up to Mobile World Congress (and appear as data points throughout the Netsize Guide, which is officially launched in Barcelona), so watch this space.

And finally, a call for contributions and contributors.

Regular readers will know that I now keep the tents at the Carnival. (Put another way, I coordinate the COM and ways to grow its reach and influence.) At the top of the 2010 agenda: improve and streamline communications, recruit more bloggers/contributors and encourage everyone to host the COM at their site (a great way to boost traffic, by the way). If you are interested in joining, hosting or sharing your ideas, please contact me directly (peggy@msearchgroove.com). We are tweaking the Google Groups, so it’s best to use this email until we have that sorted. You can also follow COM on Twitter (@COTMobilists).

Next week the COM comes to MSearchGroove – so be sure to get involved and submit your posts!
