Posted October 15th, 2008 by Larry Johnson
As you may have noticed, the NMC is deploying lots of new web tools to gather information of interest to its members. The newest of these, our Two Minute Surveys are literally designed to take no longer than that -- no more than three questions, with a focus on current topics in New Media.

Our second Two Minute survey looks for examples of mobile technology projects happening at NMC organizations.

New Portal to Second Life: Your Phone
Posted February 22nd, 2007 by NMCA compant named Converse recently demo-ed software for java based phones that allow these devices to connect with and communicate in Second Life:
As demonstrated at the 3GSM Conference in Barcelona:
Attendees using Comverse's phones could see and manipulate avatars who appeared in Comverse's virtual 3GSM booth inside Second Life. Using simple commands, they could direct the avatar to walk around the booth, identify other avatars, and send them greetings via SMS, MMS, or instant messaging. And in a twist typical of today's virtual environments, people logged in to Second Life over traditional PC connections could walk into the virtual Comverse booth and pick up virtual phones that connected them directly to fellow members logged in from their real phones at the real booth.

Time-to-adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years
The convergence of ubiquitous broadband, portable devices, and tiny computers has changed our concept of what a phone is meant to be. A pocket-sized connection to the digital world, the mobile phone keeps us in touch with our families, friends, and colleagues by more than just voice. Our phones are address books, file storage devices, cameras, video recorders, wayfinders, and hand-held portals to the Internet—and they don’t stop there. The ubiquity of mobile phones, combined with their many capabilities, makes them an ideal platform for educational content and activities. We are only just beginning to take advantage of the possibilities they will offer.
