Photo Messaging to Drive Mobile Industry
A new study says that photo-messaging is going to drive the mobile industry. It certainly sounds better than saying that "mobile content" is going to drive the industry, but I still wonder about what happens when the novelty factor wears off for picture messaging. Also, this is a survey of what people say they will do, which doesn't always translate into what they actually will do. They claim that they're willing to pay for picture messaging - sometimes saying they would pay over a dollar per message which sounds ridiculously high to me.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
