Google’s Android now #1 for US Smartphone users

Category: Corporateadmin @ 2:17 pm

A report released by comScore 65.reveals what we were expecting to happen. Since January 2011, Google’s Android is the #1 operating platform for US used smartphones. Android’s market share is 31.2 percent market share, leaving behind RIM (BlackBerry) in second spot with 30.4 percent market share. Apples platform, used on iPhones, is ranked third with a 24.7 percent share of the market. On 4 and 5 it is Microsoft and Palm respectively.

So what does this mean for your business? Do you need an application for Android? Or are your users more likely to use a BlackBerry or an iPhone? Or would a mobile optimised web site be your best bet that works across all platforms and devices? Please give us a call or email us if you like to discuss your options in more detail. We are happy to help.

Category: Corporateadmin @ 3:17 pm

The internet is the medium of the big numbers!

Last year we sent 107 trillion of emails, of which 89% was spam. Just over 21 million new websites were added in 2010, taking the total live sites to 255 million. There are almost 2 billion internet users worldwide, of which 42% are in Asia, and a modest 13% in North America. There are now 600 million people on Facebook, with 250 million new users added in 2010. And 35 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube…every minute !! From Internet 2010 in numbers.

Cang and Duc at Phillip Island

Last month two of our Vietnam based Systems Developers came down to Melbourne for some quality face-to-face time with our Melbourne technical team. Cang and Duc spent two weeks working from our Komosion offices and enjoyed some further training in the Komodo Digital product suite. Cang and Duc also took part in some brainstorming sessions to establish the 2011 Komodo Digital development roadmap.

They have now headed back to Vietnam with their head full of Komosion development information! Just before they left they were able to include a whirlwind trip to Phillip Island. See some penguins, checked out the Boardwalk at The Nobbies to see the rock formations and see the seal coloney before they jetted back to Ho Chi Minh City.

Bringing old world know-how to new media

Category: Corporate,Marketingadmin @ 7:24 pm

As an old-time marketer, the last three years have been an interesting time. A fellow marketer I respect enormously and I had a coffee in a small Sydney cafe and discussed our frustration with digital marketing.
