    What's that Muppets song? "Moving right along ... "? 

    Just a quick update to announce that as of Jan 23rd I'll be moving along into a new role as Senior Mobile Consultant with GlobalOne. I'll be re-joining my former Appland colleagues from Vodafone who are now the GlobalOne Mobility practice, and working from the GlobalOne office here in Brisbane. My role will be across many facets, including pre-sales, strategy and solution design, project management, and helping to embed mobile thinking, knowledge and sales processes across the organisation. 

    GlobalOne is a leading services and consulting organisation for SaaS, Cloud and CRM enterprise software (including Salesforce.com). The new mobility practice has been created to bring new and innovative mobile experiences to enterprise-scale clients - some call it "consumerising the enterprise".

    Vodafone is also now a key client, so we're still building and managing apps like Cricket LIVE Australia, Who2Call and The Amazing Race Australia (which by the way has been nominated in two categories at the AIMIA Awards!) 

    I'd like to thank Bruce, Brett, Chad and everyone at Speedwell for the opportunity to work with them in their growing mobile team, and I look forward to seeing some of the big ideas we created together being released!

    Onwards!

    Pygg_email

    Have been checking out this great new startup from Sydney this week - Pygg.

    Pygg allows you to make payments to people over Twitter. Create a Pygg account (pyggy bank?) with your Twitter credentials, add some funds to your account via PayPal, and then simply tweet instructions for money to be paid to someone via their Twitter handle.

    @pygg pay @yourname $3 - Payback for that coffee I owe you

    Simple, fun, and disruptive to mobile/personal payments. Pygg is part of the Pollenizer stable of start-up ventures.

    Sign up for Pygg here!

    UPDATE: Pygg and Unicef Australia have a Christmas-giving campaign going - "Say No to Naff". Pygg are going to match donations made through the service (up to $10) to help raise money for school supplies, food and equipment for those in need this Christmas.

    That'll do Pygg. That'll do.

    I'm pleased to be given the opportunity to be part of the Nokia Developer Champion program (previously known as Forum Nokia Champion) for a fourth consecutive year. Thank you to Nokia for inviting me again this year - it's a great program to be part of and I'm very much looking forward to seeing how Nokia (and Microsoft) and their developer communities rise to the challenge they have before them.

    The sound of Commonwealth Bank customers paying friends via their email or mobile numbers, and paying for services via NFC-powered tap-and-go features ... "ka-ching!"
