Mobile Groove

Each week the Carnival of the Mobilists (COM) brings you the best of mobile blogging from around the Web, curating posts and links submitted by our COMmunity of 100+ influencers and bloggers. Before I dive into this week’s selection of posts, allow me (as COM Coordinator & Connector) to remind everyone that there are still openings to step up and host the COM. I encourage everyone to check out the Host Schedule and which dates you would like to reserve.

Some of the posts that made the COM this week include:

Bringing you the best of mobile blogging from around the Web, the Carnival of the Mobilists (COM) comes with a selection of the posts over the last two weeks that set the bar.

The Carnival of the Mobilists (COM) sets up tents a last time this year here at MobileGroove, marking the end of a great year for the mobile industry and an even better one for the COM.

The monthly Carnival of the Mobilists (COM) sets up camp at MobileGroove with an entertaining and eclectic mix of themes and topics that speak volumes about recent developments in mobile. From a curated list of Mobile Web influencers to an examination of the pros and cons of mobile apps, it’s all there – so let’s dive in!

Tomi Ahonen is in rare form this month with a deliciously disruptive post dripping with sarcasm. It would be a great laugh if it was only fiction. But this quiz, which tests our ability to run Nokia into the ground (as it appears Microsoft and Stephen Elop are doing as we speak), is based on keen observations from a long-time Nokia watcher (and former employee).

The countdown starts! Just one month until the Carnival of the Mobilists marks its fifth anniversary. By way of background, Carlo Longino (our host at COM #238 this week) and Russell Buckley (perhaps best known now as Global Chair Emeritus; Mobile Marketing Association and AdMob Evangelist) launched the COM over at the MobHappy blog with this post on October 13, 2005. Since then we’ve grown to over 100 and we continue to add new Mobilists and mobile enthusiasts around the world. To make our anniversary memorable and make sure the next five years are even more I encourage you to contact me with your ideas and input. (peggy@msearchgroove.com)

So let’s roll on with this week’s line-up.
