jamescoops — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:19:21 +0000

The mobile search company Taptu has been on a bit of a roll recently - they closed a large round of funding, changed their branding, hit 1m searches per day and have been hard at work developing their iphone app and an index of touch sites. Like admob Taptu is another company that is great for the mobile 2.0 ecosystem and we are really lucky to have them in the UK - they are often at conferences speaking about what they are doing and also publish some great white papers. Steve Ives the CEO gave a presentation at the Mobile Web Summit and here's some of the key points and stats:

Future of mobile is touch

- 220m touch screens shipped this year - only a small proportion are iphones

- touch is a fluent, relaxed way of mobile browsing ideal for MASS MARKET

- 10% of the Quantcast top 1000 websites now have a touch-optimized mobile site (GREAT STAT!!)

- this moves to just 0.5% when you expand to top 10k sites so a long way to go...

Taptu is growing strongly

- 60% of Taptu's audience is based in the USA

- they had done 0.25m searches by Dec 07, 2.5m by June 08 and 25m by April 09

- new iphone app coming out which allows browsing and searching of mobile touch sites (it looked great)

Top 10 Best and Worst Things about Las Vegas

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:51:00 +0000

No one has described life in life in Las Vegas better than the blogger VegasRex. Today, we continue to revisit some of his most memorable posts.

When you read Rex’s work you get a quite contradictive picture of Las Vegas.

He loves some aspects of the city and hates others, and sometimes you get the feeling he loves that he hates and hates that he loves.

What’s for sure though, Sin City is a place that leaves you with opinions.

But is it paradise or pure filth?

10 Best Things about Living in Las Vegas

“I've crapped on Las Vegas quite a bit in the past, oh ... six years ... but living in the town is certainly not all bad.

There are definitely some compelling reasons to move to the city. There are absolutely some things to love about living on Dirt Island.”

10 Worst Things about Living in Las Vegas

Ok, Rex couldn’t even come up with 10 good things about Vegas.

Do you think it was easier to come up with 10 bad things?

“I must admit that this one was much easier to write. It was so easy to write that I had to force myself to cut it short, somewhere over 5,000 words, and break it into separate articles.”

So what you have to look forward to is a five-piece article with Rex hating on basically everything Las Vegas has to offer. It’s understandable why he finally decided to move.

But then again, now he lives in the Portland region, where his hate can be directed towards the high hipster density. And that, my friends, is pure hate – from the heart.
