T-Mobile USA Launches HTC "Sensation"
Gary Kim has been a digital infra analyst and journalist for more than 30 years, covering the business impact of technology, pre- and post-internet. He sees a similar evolution coming with AI. General-purpose technologies do not come along very often, but when they do, they change life, economies and industries.

New Data Shows More Content Means More Leads
Companies that blogged 20 or more times in a month saw the most return in traffic and leads, a recent HubSpot analysis of lead generation numbers for over 4,000 companies found.
The results make quite a compelling case that "more is better" when it comes to content creation. Companies with over 400 indexed pages generated the most traffic and leads.
In the case of blogs, landing pages, and indexed pages -- which are all critical pieces of the inbound marketing methodologies, the data showed that companies that created more, generated more leads and traffic back in return. Companies with over 31 landing pages generated the most leads (nearly 10 times that of the lowest, ‘less that 5’ category).

Worldwide Mobile Advertising Revenue to Reach $3.3 Billion in 2011
Worldwide mobile advertising revenue is forecast to reach $3.3 billion in 2011, more than double the $1.6 billion generated in 2010, according to Gartner.
Worldwide revenue will reach $20.6 billion by 2015, but not all types of mobile advertising will generate the same opportunity. Search and maps will deliver the highest revenue, while video and audio ads will see the fastest growth through 2015.

Blogging, Tweeting, and What's In Between
Some people think "blogs are dead." Usually, when that gets said, it is a reference to massive growth of tweeting, Facebook posts and other very-short snippets of stuff. Tumblr is a good example of the in-between space between a tweet and a blog post, with its emphasis on visual elements. Of course, some would argue something else is going on, namely that blogs remain a place where relatively more thoughtful stuff happens, while Tumblr is better for highly-visual, word spare content. See http://inessential.com/2011/06/15/gopher_dead_blogging_lives.All we are seeing is the evolution of tools to fit different use cases. Consider tablets. They work really well for most people, who only have to create a minor amount of content, such as replying to an email, or taking a limited amount of notes at a meeting, creating a calendar event or something simple.
Sure, you can add a keyboard to a tablet, plus other peripherals (one of these days), but then what you have is a PC.
It's the same thing with media that allow people to express themselves.
Not everybody needs a blog. For lots of people, tweeting and Facebook are all they require. For others, who want to share content of a highly-visual nature, Tumblr works great.

"Tumblr, to me at least, isn’t a blog platform but something new entirely - a social network for both original and curated content that is longer than a tweet and often more visual in nature. It’s a hybrid," says Steve Rubel. See http://www.steverubel.me/post/6583713687/tumblr-is-the-next-great-social-network.
For some purposes, such as a "fashion portal," Tumblr is a great tool. See http://blog.pret-a-portel.com/.
