Was 2010 finally the Year of Mobile?

I’ve been hearing that “this is the year of mobile” since 2001. I think we are finally at a place that mobile is really taking off and overtake PCs as the primary way we access the web in a few years.  How will you know when it’s time for your org to go mobile? Take a look at your website analytics. You might be surprised by the amount of devices accessing your website. The consumers are out there, give them something to do on your site that is quick and tailored to the mobile experience.

Need more convincing? Mobile Future put together this great recap of 2010 that puts is all into perspective.

A visual history of the internet

I fondly recall my first experiences with the internet in college using Mosiac and terminals to send and receive email.  Oregon State has a great computer lab donated by nearby HP which had the latest PCs (386!) and dot matrix printers.  I never realized the internet had already been around some 30 years.   Kudos to OnlineSchools.org for putting it all together in a graphical timeline.

The Internet By the Numbers

Interesting statistics on the growth of the internet. Facebook continues its dominance (6 million page views a minute) and incredible growth (350+ million users). Incredible. Another stat that I find alarming is out of the 247 billion emails sent a day, 200 billion are spam!
