To anyone interested in mobile info and content - I've just seen a video on Youtube from someone who planned to demo their mobile membership tool at the Technology Conference. We had a good breakout session on mobile, as well as a webinar on the topic, so I'm starting this thread as a place to aggregate any good links to mobile-related stuff. Did you take any notes about mobile during #unTech10? Do you have demos or anything that was originally planned for ASAE that you would like to share? Please feel free to add anything relevant here.
I'll start and I hope you will allow me one shameless plug. We (SocialFish) have a great free iphone app which aggregates our feed and Twitter content. Please search for "socialfish" in the Apple Store to download.
We made this through AppMakr, and they have given us a discount code which is valid only through February 28. I wrote a blog post with more info, and am looking for any and all examples of association experiments with mobile apps. Please read it here -

Thanks!
On Friday, February 12, Chris Bonney of Vanguard Technology and I presented our "Mobile Matters: What Association Leaders Need to Know" webinar. Despite some unforeseen technical difficulties, we had a great session and all of the resources are available online:

I will join Maddie in making a shameless plug, in this case, for my upcoming webinar series on mobile, conducted in partnership with our friends at Peach New Media. Here is a link to the series info:

If your association wants to get serious about mobile in 2010, you definitely want to participate in this series. I hope you'll join me. Thanks!

I'd like to jump on this too. ASAE invited us to demo our mobile association app at the conference, you can take a look at it on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYxGhxEYo0 and come see us demo it live at a free breakfast in Alexandria on March 4th (details here: http://associationsinnovate.eventbrite.com/).
Cheers!

Higher Logic was planning to launch our new "Mobile Membership (TM)" iPhone application at the conference. The app integrates fully with the social network/member directory and also supports member to member messaging, events, friending, news feeds etc. You can see a demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYxGhxEYo0
Were always looking for ideas on what we can add, so please let me know if you think of anything.
Cheers,
