Mobile MondayTonight I attended the Mobile Monday Silicon Valley monthly event. The venue was really nice and they even had quite a few corporate sponsors: AT&T devcentral and Skyhook Wireless. Not sure if this is a good sign that it’s going upscale, things have changed a lot since the last MoMo in the Valley that I’ve been to. This time it also focused on LBS Applications, man there were a lot of presentations! The other great thing about tonight was that I was able to catch up with a lot of folks in the mobile industry whom I have not seen in months.


Here are my tweets from Twitterberry:
