Remember when....
As the new year is rapidly approaching a little reflection:
* Remember when discussions of "cool" new applications like Pocketday and Todomatrix used to run multiple pages? * Remember when it was almost magical to be able to get your Exchange email in your pocket? * Remember when having Outlook Calender and Tasks, liberated you from your desk? * Remember the folks like Mark R and John Clark (and others) that were always there with an answer? * Remember when a Blackberry was purely a business tool and there was no BBM and only one game? * Remember when RIM was at the top of their game and owned this space? * Remember when......sigh |

My single worst experience with BBM was trying to start a BBM group. Got overrun with porn and spammers in about a week. |

I miss Mark Rehjon's contributions, too. Very valuable insights.

I first made good use of it when coordinating a fire drill evacuation of about 400 people. I could chat with all the contact people without shouting over the phone or sending emails. |

Re: Remember when....
RIM tried to push BBM as their own social media platform. Sad to see their desperation coupled with total cluelessness. Imagine a bunch of old guys, sitting around trying to figure out what all the kids were doing nowadays.
"Are they still using their Walkmans?" "They're using SOMEthing. I see 'em all around the mall when I drive by, those white ear-thingys in their ears. MUST be Walkmans." |
Re: Remember when....
The good ole days are definitely gone.

An IM app is not a Social Media platform. Not even close. Even with the integration with various apps and BBM. I am starting to see a renewed effort by someone(s) at RIM. 'Love What You do', and the newest #BeBold suggests that you and I (read as the consumer) decides what they want out of their devices/experience as opposed to what they are letting us do with it, or showing us what it can do. Reminds of a survey I did for RIM (actually most of them), specifically, the part where it asks if I would recommend BBM to anyone. I always answer the same; "No". If they do not have a BlackBerry then it's a moot point and if they do, it's like asking if I would recommend water to a fish. |

Remember when RIM didn't have co-CEOs, that was a better time.
