MobileMonday Opens the 71st Chapter in Calgary
The global MobileMonday group officially gave the blessing to establish the 71st Chapter of MobileMonday for Southern Alberta as of lastWednesday night.
To kick things off we opened a Ning website to handle all the details about the organization. You can get to the site via http://mobilemondaycalgary.ning.com/. The site provides a great way to network with other members of the mobile community and to find out more information about the upcoming events.
Second, our first event is JAN 12, 2009 at Kits at 6pm.

We will be running the event in the basement and it makes for a great venue location.
And finally, I'm sure you are all excited that I will be making a presentation at the meeting. I haven't finalized a topic yet but I'm waffling between doing an Android demonstration or presenting one of our new applications (probably Snocator). If you have any recommendations or suggestions let me know.
See you Jan 12.

KnowledgeWhere Aquired By Useful Networks
The recent spat of changes has slowed my rate of updates on the site and here is why;
KnowledgeWhere Inc, was aquired by Useful Networks out of Denver.Here is the news release:Useful Networks Acquires KnowledgeWhere
The sale was the culmination of many months worth of work and I think it will be a great asset to the LB industry in general. KnowledgeWhere gains the expertise and financial resources of Useful Networks , and Useful Networks gains the Location Application Platform (LAP) , gaming assets and technology that we have been created over the past 4 years.
It will be an exciting transition to work with the new team and use it to build on both our successes. I have had a chance to see the direction Useful Networks is headed and I know it will be disruptive in the very near term.
Mobile Monday in Calgary
I just finished a meeting with the "founders" to try to launch Mobile Monday Calgary Chapter.
Mobile Monday is a global community of mobile industry visionaries, developers and influentials fostering cooperation and cross-border business development through virtual and live networking events to share ideas, best practices and trends from global markets.
With a little bit of effort and luck we will be able to launch the Calgary Chapter in the new year. Post a note in the comments if you want me to keep you up to date on the latest status.
