"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" Guy de Maupassant

Interesting ... YouTube plans to go mobile by the end of 2007. While you can upload videos via a mobile phone, this will allow you to view videos on-the-go. Mobile TV :)

I wonder what the mobile carriers feel about this. As a user I see it as a simple equation ... I pay for access to the internet ... what I choose to do with this access is my business and not theirs!

Update .. I just found this neat piece by Paul Whitaker called The quagmire of YouTube mobile which sets out scenarios for YouTube mobile!

A picture named virtual dna.JPGNow gathering information from your customers gets more interesting than the usual boring survey formats!

A bit Western-centric in its options ... still, I had fun checking out MSN's Discover Your Visual DNA test ... which uses "technology from Imagini, a "web-based tool that captures the visual preferences of consumers". Discover Your Visual DNA is a personality test with a twistÖit shows how your choices compares with thousands of other people. There are some hidden gems of consumer insight in all of the sections (ex: my travel, my style, my lifestyle)." [Chris Portella at Three Minds]
