The Mobile Content Mandate

Karen McGrane, Author, Content Strategy for Mobile

You don’t get to decide which device people use to access your content: they do. By 2015, more people will access the internet via mobile devices than on traditional computers; in the US today, nearly one-third of people who browse the internet on their mobile phone say that’s the only way they go online. It’s time to stop avoiding the issue by saying “no one will ever want to do that on mobile;” chances are, someone already wants to. In this session, Karen will discuss why you need to deliver content wherever your customer wants to consume it, and explain how to get started with your mobile content strategy—defining what you want to publish, what the relationship should be between your mobile and desktop site, and how your editorial workflow and content management tools need to evolve.

I actually disagree with this representation. We know that no group of people is entirely on one side or the other of the digital divide. It's all mixed. No race, gender, nationality, or economic class has all of its people on one side of the digital divide
