Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Hogmanay Goes Mobile

Hogmanay is a Scottish word for New Year, especially New Year’s Eve and the celebrations that go with it. Here in Edinburgh we have a huge organised street party for New Year in the city centre.

This year there is a mobile guide to events, called Find It. While the service is rudamentary, it’s going in the right direction. Kudos to the VisitScotland.

Update: just had a look at it again and it has no Hogmanay content what so ever! It’s all about out-of-town attractions!

    […] I posted some comments on the Visit Scotland Find It service for Hogmanay. I’ve just received an SMS asking for feedback on the service. […]
