Apple released the iPad and the debate instantly began to rage. Does it have enough features? Is it powerful enough? Is the screen too large or too small? Is this a game-changer?

My vision of the iPad legacy is not as a game-changer, but certainly a catalyst. Here’s why: Read the rest of this entry »

Monday Jan 18, 2010

Moxley Carmichael creative director Charley Sexton and I attended the SocialFresh Nashville conference on Jan. 11, 2010. The group of 270 attendees was friendly and fun to be around. The speakers were insightful and — more importantly — experienced. Big thanks to the Social Media Club of Nashville for volunteer staffing. You guys were helpful and on top of everything, even finding my missing nametag. And of course thanks to Jason Keath (Twitter, web) for being the big brain behind SocialFresh.

New Streak’s 2010 predictions - Tami Hartmann



Tuesday Jan 5, 2010

Several of us at Moxley Carmichael decided to make some predictions for 2010.  These are random at best and a bit eccentric.  In other words, there’s something  for everyone!

Tami Hartmann, Writer

Skype me

I sat down in my kitchen in Knoxville this morning and spoke to my son face-to-face – as he was in Prague. Skype has been a wonderful communication tool while he has been studying abroad this semester. A fabulously inexpensive (free, actually) way to keep in personal contact with one another. I predict that this technology will become an important feature on mobile devices, keeping families close in years to come. Read the rest of this entry »

Smartphones

Smartphone popularity increases. Many professionals can’t imagine surviving without constant connection to e-mail, calendar entries and contacts, but just a mere 17 percent of Americans currently use smartphones. As data plans become more affordable, network speeds become faster and a greater variety of devices are made available, more Americans such as stay-at-home moms and college students will upgrade to smartphones.

Mobile design

Designing for mobile devices will play a larger part in online design. Up until now it has been the top tier Web sites that are formatted for mobile devices. We’ll see this climb the Web-development priority ladder as mobile browsing increases and the technology to auto-format Web sites for mobile devices becomes more common.  Read the rest of this entry »
