A mobile web portal to access the German stock exchange

Wallstreet:online, the largest finance community in Germany, has released its mobile web portal. Mobile users now will be able to follow the German stock exchange right from their mobile phone. Netbiscuits, a famous mobile internet platform provider, has helped bring Wallstreet:online to the mobile web space.

I think this is a brilliant move. The timing could not have been better, as Germany now is considered a huge market for mobile phones and mobile web in particular. Even Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently stated in an interview that almost every German has got a mobile phone. Also, stock market is something which is closely followed by millions every day. What better way to do it than from your mobile phone? It makes things easier, as you don’t have to carry a laptop or sit in front of the PC to follow the stock trading by the hour. This mobile website is also optimized for Apple iPhone, as there are quite a few iPhone users in Germany.

TiECON to go completely mobile

The Indus Entrepreneurs Group Conference (TiECON), an annual conference for entrepreneurs, has been in the news of late. It’s a popular event and attracts many an entrepreneur in the town, but it’s been in the news for another reason. For the first time, the participants will ask their questions and raise their points via text messages.

That’s right, you heard it right. MobileVerbs Inc., a mobile marketing platform provider, has come up with a platform for TiECON wherein the participants will be able to contact the panel moderator through text messages. No more microphones, no more ‘waiting for your turns’, and no more chaos.

The attendees will also be able to receive the agenda for meetings, breaking news, and other content related to the event directly on their mobile phone in real time. This, according to TiECON organizers, can save a lot of time and make the whole process a whole lot simpler. They say that they are impressed with the idea of a mobile phone based conference as it ensures privacy among attendees and makes it easier for them to contact moderators quickly.

Talk about mobile phone being a multifaceted device…

Free mobile analytics tool from AdMob

Regular readers of this blog might know that I’ve discussed the importance of analytic tools to track a mobile ad campaign’s performance time and again. Now, AdMob, the leading mobile ad platform provider, has come up with a mobile metrics package which helps you track the performance of your mobile sites and mobile advertising campaigns. More importantly, the service is entirely free of cost.

Called AdMob Mobile Analytics, the service is free of cost and it can be compared to Google’s Google Analytics service.
