The rise and rise of mobile sites
19 Jun 2008
There's an article in this week's NMA about how 60% of consumers think it's important to be able to access the internet from their mobile, and 65% of those who are planning to buy a phone in the next year will be looking for a good mobile internet experience. Surely the iPhone and Twitter are partly responsible for this rise?? There are a couple of things this means for the digital industry - firstly we'll all need to make sure that the sites we build are easily 'readable' on mobiles and secondly more brands are demanding mobile-specific sites - sites built specifically for mobile access. Will it be restricted to certain sectors? The NMA article suggests that banks, sport, travel, social networking, local amenities/guides and ticket purchasing would all benefit - and having mobile access to Wikipedia would settle a few pub arguments - and make pub quizzes a cinch!

Olden days
Colin's parents found a picture of Newton Terrace in the good ole days. It was in a book, possibly an old book - sorry I can't be more specific. Anyway, it shows the other end of Newton Terrace (home of tictoc's Glasgow office) which used to belong to Henry Samuel & Sons, furriers. Cue much excitement about Newton Terrace being the birthplace of the high street chain of jewellers (furs and diamonds are both luxury goods after all), but a little research on Wikipedia showed us this was unlikely. Ho hum.

Perusing SEO-Chicks for the first time today, found this very clever way of explaining to people like me the finer points of keyword matching. Suddenly it all makes sense!

It's a boy
Although it only feels like 5 minutes since Mel went on Maternity Leave we are delighted to announce that we have a new member of the tictoc family, a baby boy!
Mel, baby and dad are happy and well.
p.s. Name to be confirmed.
