- What 2 Billion Smartphones Mean for Customer Service
- by Dave Evans. ClickZ, September 7, 2011. "New Media Age's Ilana Fox wrote an intriguing post, Stop pandering to customers on social media. Her central point: "We have proper channels for complaints… tell whining customers to use them." My initial reaction was "Well, that's certainly a huge step backwards."

- Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox, August 29, 2011. "Summary: Mobile use will rise, but desktop computers will remain important, forcing companies to design for multiple platforms, requiring continuity in visual design, features, user data, and tone of voice. Many people predict that mobile devices will be the only important user interface platform in the so-called "post-PC" future.
