This is Gary Vaynerchuk in full cry, bleeding with passion, and spelling out the possibilities for the new “Word of Mouth”. At speed comes a changing of the guard. Out with the old in with the new. But how many people see it coming. Wait till the real people see it, he urges….

iPhone arrives in South Africa – first impressions

In Creativity, Music on October 4, 2008 at 5:34 pm

The iPhone arrived in South Africa, well in Cape Town anyway and being the sucker I am, made the inevitable purchase. Inevitable, yes because it seemed like a step up in technology. At first i wasn’t convinced but I have to admit that its in another league from other cell phones and PDA’s. Actually its unfair to classify the iPhone as a cell phone. I think after using it for 2 days that its more like a laptop minimised !

What”s there to like about it? Well firstly it makes Twitter come alive. (See previous post.) Secondly its’ 3G connection to Gmail is awesome and thirdly it synchs with the iTunes program; no,not just music, but photos, podcasts,contacts,calendar,videos…. and more.

So you get an iPod, a phone,internet that is highly readable and oh yes… a host of apps (applications) that you can download and makes the engine purr. Like WordPress (lets you blog from the iphone with ease), Twittelator (lets you manage Twitter), and an emulation of the 12C HP calculator. Thats all I have had time for so far. But it made me wonder about the philosophy of Apple, who have for so many years have demonstrated not only creativity, but its’ application – innovation - in their range of products. I think in further posts it may be worth exploring the mind of Steve Jobs. Stay tuned…

Tweet Tweet: Follow Charles Bryant (and Creating Possibilities) on Twitter

In Creativity, Life on October 3, 2008 at 11:31 am

All aboard the bandwagon: Charles Bryant and Creating Possibilities is now on Twitter.

If you know what that means, you can sign up to follow the blog and other occasional “tweets” at http://twitter.com/blackwhitelemon.

If you’re a Twitter newbie like myself let me explain.

Twitter is a quick means of disseminating small bites of information (“tweets”) via computer, cell phone or some other device to a group of “followers” who receive updates on their Blackberry, iPhone, laptop or some other techno device.

In my case, I’ll send tweets when new blog entries are posted or when something else interesting strikes me.

Let me know what you think.
