What makes our product work is the way we're tightly focused on messaging and being an SMS replacement.

There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors, rickshaw drivers, and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler, and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.

Mobile Messaging is rapidly becoming the primary way users engage socially on mobile.

Seriously, we are in the midst of the convergence of voice and data and that is challenging the infrastructure of the telephone companies. There are huge commercial interests in the basic technology, but even more so in content delivery and control of content.

From my time at Nokia, I've seen the 99% positive and occasionally negative impact that communication tools can have on people.

Communication services need interoperability to succeed - and Loopt is the first such service since SMS that is available across all major U.S. wireless carriers.

The mobile business in particular is something we must take seriously. I see tremendous prospects for all those transactions that can be handled on mobile phones.

Texting is a supremely secretive medium of communication - it's like passing a note - and this means we should be very careful what we use it for.

I think there is an awful lot of technology for technology's sake. I have yet to be convinced by my husband that persuading our mobiles to talk to our computers is going to be quicker and more straightforward than scribbling a note in our kitchen diary.
