MobileMagic: the 2017 will be better than 2016 edition...


'We never made a promise we wouldn't run ads' - Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales on being ad-free in an ad-crazy world. Head food.

WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger Growth Outpaces Instagram, Twitter. This is significant news. Messaging platform growth beating Twitter & Instagram could suggest that we the people, want to make our social networks private...

Watch Steve Jobs introduce the iPhone 10 years ago today. The launch that sparked a million arguments over what type of phone was better. I mean really. It’s a phone. All phones do very similar things. Saying that I just got the new Pixel from Google and it’s lush.

Facebook Messenger now allows payments in its 30,000 chat bots.  I won’t stop going on about this stuff.

For Millions of Immigrants, a Common Language: WhatsApp. A fab article which amongst over things talks about how these messaging platforms bring families that are separated by thousands of miles together. Which is a great thing.

Key Digital Trends for 2017.  This attempt at predicting the future from Ogilvy is superb. I love the bit on messaging and chatbots. I really won't stop going on about this stuff...

New Oxfam app aims to rebuild trust in charities and increase donations. Hope this does well.
