Steve Kelly shared a link to a very interesting website with me. join.me is a screen sharing service for meetings (and lectures) that works on mobile devices as well as desktop computers. This looks to be a very useful collaborative tool.

Mobile & Moms 101
How are moms engaging with mobile as they research, shop and purchase products for their family. The U.S. mom wields $2.4 trillion dollars of buying power, however her attention is fractured between work, play and screens. Today, more moms own smartphones than the general population. According to eMarketer , Smartphones have become tools to research purchases and comparison shop. 36% of moms use their phones for shopping comparison and 31% have researched a new product.
Join the Heartland Mobile Council as we present an educational experience on the latest strategy, methods and best practices to engage with moms via mobile. Learn how key retailers and consumer product brands are using mobile to market to moms. The HMC will provide an overview of Mobile & Moms. Then the individual brands will share insight and learnings. The experience will provide understanding of how mobile can impact you, your company, your brand and your future marketing to these mobile consumers.

VLinks Media
VLInks Media was nice enough to demonstrate their mobile social media solution for universities and students to me on Friday. I don’t see an immediate fit for Commerce online and graduate students at the moment, but I think this may be of interest to EMM and outreach to prospective students. However, I am taking a deeper look at their mobile apps….
Interesting Augmented Reality App
The embedded video demonstrates a particularly interesting AR application by the name of Augmented Reality Cinema. In the video, the app plays back clips from movies that were filmed at the location the user is standing (with their smartphone).
This would be a particularly good thing for tourist boards to get behind.
