2011 is expected to be a great year for mobiles and apps.

With the Mobile World Congress in full swing, this is the best time to review last year’s performance and get some perspective on the market. And more precisely the U.S. market, via an infographic, courtesy of PSFK: Two Hundred Trillion Text Messages

Ho ho ho… Merry Christmas everyone!

Did you know that the world’s biggest – literally – gift ever was the Statue of Liberty? Or that only one quarter of the gifts given and received yesterday will make it through to next Christmas? Or that this year, the U.S. average budget was the highest for presents and the Dutch dedicated the least cash for their gifts?

Here’s a visualization of data on Christmas 2010 Around The Globe by Venere.com, the travel accommodation service. I found it on the site of Daily Infographic.

After the Flowtown infographic on how American adults use their mobile phones and the slide deck by Yiibu on journeys through the digital divide globally, here is another Flowtown gem on U.S. teens and their mobile phones.

Who in the world – literally – is interested in the Twitter content that I generate today ?

As you see, this is a snapshot of the situation at a given time, ie yesterday. I’ll be checking every month to see where merrybubbles’ (my Tweeple name) content stands.

Although I’m based in Paris, France, it looks like the U.S. has so far been my main ‘follower’ location.

The question, really, is whether I’m happy with this spread or not. Without the shadow of a doubt, the answer is YES ! I have to say, it pretty much reflects my ideal spread. Great !
It’s important to me to have a global positioning rather than a specifically local rooting. This is the reason why I tweet primarily in English but also speak and engage in French on a regular basis, unlike this blog where my editorial choice is to write solely in English.

I guess I’ll just keep doing what I do and be my merrybubbles.
