SMS from Red Phones!?
I was intrigued by the news that both President Obama and Russian President Medvedev would prefer to communicate with each other via texting and email. It seems as if Obama’s much-discussed addiction to his Blackberry before moving into the White House still influences his communication customs. Some habits are hard to break but it also […]
Mosio and Text a Librarian’s Post to Facebook Function: Now Live!
In February we launched a “Post to Twitter” function within the Mosio mobile messaging platform and Mosio’s Text a Librarian.

Mosio and Text a Librarian on the iPad
Back in January I wrote a blog post titled “The iPad, Tablets and E-Readers in Libraries: Game Changers or are they just Another Mobile Technology?” My decision was that I was uncertain, but suspected they were just another mobile technology. This weekend I got one and I have to say, I love it. I think […]
Using QR Codes in Libraries – Thoughts and a Free QR Code Generator
QR Codes – Mobile’s Secret Decoder Ring There seems to be quite an interest about the use of QR codes in libraries lately.

Simplicity in Mobile Software: Showing Instead of Telling
In Simplicity We Trust. One of the most difficult parts about being a start up is focus. Initially you look at a bunch of different ways your product solves problems in the name of getting customers.

Progress As Promised – The Future Value of Software as a Service for Libraries
“Here is the prime condition of success: Concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun on one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.†– Andrew Carnegie […]
Facts and Figures: Mobile Text Messaging Usage in the U.S. (An Opportunity for Libraries)
We hear a lot of feedback regarding text messaging from both ends of the spectrum. Some understand and are part of the mobile messaging explosion in the U.S. and others need a little more convincing. While we don’t send 470 text messages per day (we have plenty of work to do around here), we love […]
