Mobile Internet users grew 34% to 57 million from 2008 to 2009, according to The Nielsen Company.
As is to be expected from previous research findings, Men browse for tech, sports and news. Women, on the other hand use the mobile web for celebrity news, shopping sites and social networks.
Most surprisingly to me, only12% of mobile web users are under age 18.
Photographer Ben Cooper took this photo of a Delta 4-Heavy rocket launching at Cape Canaveral using a sound-activated camera. And when your camera is that close to a launch, your lens probably won't survive.
The particular setup for this was sound activated. The lens was destroyed (worth it of course) but the camera survived this one despite being severed from its ratchet straps and thrown to the ground, and the sound device used for this one disconnected from the camera and thrown about 200 feet backwards into the pad perimeter fence (still worked!). All settings are preset manually. No one is allowed closer than several miles from a launch.
Well, that's awesome. [Airliners.net, Thanks, Jason!]
Well, what do you expect? However, the photo that the camera took before being destroyed is unbelievable!
An interesting demographic trend that started earlier this year on Facebook is that users over 45 are still growing the fastest in the US.
Will the younglings start jumping ship soon? If yes, what's the next BIG THING?
Wow! I remember when this project started up. It's great to see it all come together.
For those of you who don't know: The First Star Wars movie was divided into individual scenes and then fans from all over the world started recreating that one scene. Now all the scenes are being put back together to create the ultimate Star Wars fan-made tribute.

The interesting thing will be to see what Microsoft does moving forward: Windows Mobile has been a real FAIL for years and Microsoft better bring their A Game to get it right with WinMo 7. Especially with the pressure and lead growing from Apple and the iPhone Microsoft will need to throw more than money for marketing at this venure and we all know how Ballmer feels about Apple...
Another day, another emarketer graph. The question is: What does this graph tell us?
1. Social media success is many-sided and complicated (nothing new there)
2. People want to hear the nitty-gritty tactics and not waste time with other things
3. Most importantly: Social Media is being accepted as an important part of the marketing mix and not just a fad
