via Mobile Web: Designing With An Accurate Size And Pixel Ratio – Blog | Übermind.
The culprit is your dear friend: the pixel. When high-definition displays became popular, the pixel transformed into a relative unit. The iPhone 3GS could display 165 pixels in every square inch of it’s screen; the iPhone 4’s retina display crammed twice as many pixels into the same space. This is usually referred to as pixel density, or PPI (pixels per inch). A display with a higher PPI will be sharper and support a higher screen resolution, similar to prints with a higher DPI.
This is where the headaches usually begin. Mobile devices tend to have a much higher PPI than most laptop screens or monitors do, so they can display high-resolution objects in a smaller space. An 800×600 image on an old CRT monitor would take up the entire screen; that same image on an iPhone 4 won’t even fill the viewport in landscape mode. Even if your monitor supports an extremely high resolution, a default 2×3″ canvas will rarely be 2×3″ physical inches.

Facebook Places Grows Up | DigitalNext: A Blog on Emerging Media and Technology – Advertising Age.
One of the biggest complaints with Facebook Places is that it was nearly impossible for a large company to manage all of its individual locations or franchises. Those locations were created by individuals from the franchise/location and thus managed individually. Now, with Facebook’s new Parent/Child Relationship manager, these large companies can take control.
Through a new admin panel, Facebook Page admins can claim individual Places Pages and add them as children to a “Parent Page.” For example, Subway could maintain a Subway brand Page and then add each individual Subway location as a child. Doing this will then enable the parent Page admins as admins of the individual Places Pages and allow them to publish content or change settings for each location.

Google+: The Numbers Driving Its Growth [STATS].
Yes it’s growing fast, but reality is setting in after the buzz i think:
The truth of the matter is that none of these stats are official and Google+ is still very new, so it’s anybody’s guess as to how accurate Experian Hitwise’s actually are. Still, we think the company’s numbers make sense. While Google+ is gaining in popularity, it is still minuscule compared to Facebook, Twitter, Zynga, Tagged or even MySpace.

Kraft Jell-O Pudding Seeks To Eradicate Twitter Frowns.
This is a great way to tie in the latest Jell-O pudding campiagn into twitter. Frowny faces 🙁 get pulled into one side while Happy faces 🙂 come in on the other.
On average, there are 800 frowns and 1,200 smiles a minute. When the mood deviates from that norm, Kraft sends recent frowners a redemption link for free Jell-O Pudding. When those consumers click the link, Kraft encourages them to use the 😀 “pudding face” emoticon. Those count as smiles, in theory bringing the total count up.
Good Read about Mobile context
I quite like Jason’s idea, that there are useful aspects to mobile context, “we just don’t really know how to use them yet”. And I think the mobile web or rather, the web…now that mobile is such an important aspect of it, will continue to play a huge role in our lives as it remains the common thread across so many of the devices we interact with.
The Future of Mobile (is the Web).
This is AWESOME! We should really look into how we can use this. Emails maybe?
