Just a quick note and highlight on a company I follow: greystripe and their gamejump.com service.
- 7M: The number of mobile games downloaded from their site
- 8,9M: The amount Disney just invested in series B
- 800: The number of titles available from gamejump.com
Mobile has its new Business Model, purely derivated from what has done the success of Google, Youtube and the likes: ads supporte content and services

Quick post to tell you that the creator of this blog’s template, Bartelme, has released a wonderful wallpaper set here. Since he’s been kind enough to provide the photoshop source file for it, here’s the Webwag edition of it, for my macbook (in 1280×800), if you want different sizes, let me known, I’ll post them.

Less than two weeks after the Microsoft/Screentonic deal, US based mobile advertizing company Third Screen Media is acquired by AOL. I’ll retain one quote from the official announcement:
“The acquisition comes as the mobile advertising industry is growing exponentially. In the U.S., mobile advertising is expected to grow from $421 million in 2006 to $4.7 billion by 2011, while globally the market is expected to increase to $11.3 billion by the same year, according to eMarketer.”
These figures are know but this is all good news for all of us evolving in the mobile advertizing space. The coming years are going to be very exciting!

One really cool thing about Macs is that they all have an integrated camera that comes with a funny and very well done little software called photobooth. It allows you to take simple photos with your macs and apply real time effects. The whole experience & UI is slick, polished, fun and functional (as many things on a mac). I like it, my kids LOVE it and can’t stop begging me for another “funny photos” session.
So this little addictive app now has its web equivalent, it’s called cameroid, it’s done in flash and works great. The only thing I would be missing is saving files locally without user interaction.
Business model will you ask? Print orders, ads… if they manage to get an audience, will be a nice little target for yahoo/flickr.
Anyway, give it a try on cameroid.com.
