What does the market think?
I’ve been muting an idea that’s been suggested by two people recently for SMS Text News.
The reckoned it would be rather cool if I posted up a paragraph about a company in the mobile industry together with a link to it’s site and then asked everyone for comments about them.
So, for example, if I picked iTouch Plc, I’d post:
iTouch is a media company with international reach. Part of the For-side.com Group, iTouch provides a wide range of information, entertainment and messaging services to mobile users.
iTouch’s business model is based on providing a broad range of consumer information directly to users through SMS, WAP, MMS and voice applications but also includes partnerships with numerous distribution channels including media companies, network operators, web portals, handset manufacturers and retailers.
… and then I’d write: What do you think?
The concept being that you, as a reader and mobile industry player, should have some sort of viewpoint over iTouch — which you post in a comment.
I’d appreciate your perspective. I think, perhaps, it’s still very much an idea.
Another concept suggested was for people to submit their company for critique — a mini dragon’s den style parade, inviting readers to suggest new lines of business, possible partners, clients and even encourage a bit of networking. Who knows. I’m going to think it all over. I’d welcome your thoughts.
