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.

Globalising communities

Much nonsense is talked about both on-line communities and globalisation. However one thing that never fails to amaze me is how something like photography bridges continents. I posted a picture on Flickr and 28s (yes, only twenty eight seconds) later, someone from Brasil posted a comment on it. Awesome.

    displaying the right metadata means latent communities get to connect! Great example. Good to find you Richard!
