Deadline for submissions JUNE 1

[Peggy]

Finding the golden middle is always a challenge -- and at COM it looks
like we have finally nailed it. (After some trial and error, of
course.)

At the start of 2011 we made the decision to go monthly -- a flexible
schedule that we purposely chose to encourage more submissions and
allow contributors to focus on in-depth trends and topics.

We started out by posting the COM in the middle of each month -- but
have now switched the schedule to showcase the best of the previous
month's mobile blogging in the first week of the following month. As a
result, the next COM (June 2) will feature a pick of blogs that were
published by Mobilists in the month of May.

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR BEST BLOGGING FROM MAY AND HELP SPREAD THE WORD.

We also welcome Francisco Kattan, who will be hosting the next COM on
June 2.

As always - I welcome your involvement and your ideas on how to grow
our reach and encourage more Mobilists - everywhere -- to get involved
and contribute their analysis and observations. To this end I have
also recruited the help of a few colleagues to refresh our website and
-- more importantly -- rethink our own use of social media to reach
out and spread the word. Watch this space.

On a personal note: my sincere thanks to all of you for your well
wishes and patience over the last turbulent months. Life happens --
and it's great to reach a point where I can say it just gets better
from here on!
