Is M-Commerce Dead and Buried?
A few years ago, it was all the rage. However, judging by just how little we get to use this icon, I think we can agree that the idea of "m-commerce" is pretty much dead. Of course, as with any overhyped technology, once it's officially been declared dead as a doorknob - that's when the interesting stuff starts happening. There's no longer unrealistic expectations, and people solving real problems get to work and come up with creative solutions. So, while the overhyped version of m-commerce may be dead, watch out for the real version. It may take you by surprise.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
