Wiki Brings Marketers, Providers Together Under The Mobile Banner
Posted by eydie on Jun 26, 2009 in Mobile Advertising, Mobile Directory, Mobile Marketing, Mobile Resources, Mobilize
Mobile marketing may have been proving its efficacy over the last few years. But for old-school marketers, the platform might seem a little too cutting-edge–more anime, less Disney cartoon. They don’t know where, or how, to enter the space and start deploying campaigns.
That’s where a new wiki, www.wikimobipedia.org, comes in. WikiMobiPedia aims to “provide a centralized, dynamic resource for buyers of mobile marketing, advertising and related products and services–so that they can easily access the information they need to begin the purchase process.”
WikiMobiPedia creator Jamie Wells tells us, “With our space moving so fast, I felt the industry would benefit from a place that “keeps up with mobile,so you don’t have to”… So far I’ve got most of the major mobile players involved–over 50 companies–in less than a month.”
As of this week, the site’s beta partners include AdMob, ComScore, HipCricket, the Mobile Marketing Association, Nokia, and Washington Post Digital. You see the entire list on WikiMobiPedia’s homepage.

An Interview with Bill Bartmann Discussing Bank Failures and Bad Debts
According to Bill Bartmann, we are amid the worst banking crisis since the Savings and Loan crisis of nearly twenty years ago
Tulsa, OK – The government announces the collapse of another bank, or several banks, nearly every week. “This is the worst banking crisis we have seen in over twenty years,” said Bartmann. Over 75 banks have failed already this year, nearly three times the total of last year.
According to Bill Bartmann, more than 1,000 more banks will fail over the next eighteen months, costing the FDIC nearly $70 billion through the year 2013. Though bank closings are announced nearly every week, the process is lengthy. Bill Bartmann knew about the recent Colonial Bank failure nearly three months before it was announced. “We were offered an opportunity to look at the assets and kick the tires on this used car. We passed on it because it didn’t fit our appetite,” said Bartmann. During the S&L crisis in the late 1980s, Bill Bartmann began his debt collection business and bought assets from more than 800 failed banks.
The FDIC has a very busy weekend once a failing bank closes on a Friday afternoon. They work with the institution to ensure the doors open Monday for depositors to access their money. They must get familiar with the bank’s operations and work with employees to ensure their pay and health benefits. Accounts must be transferred. “The customer in most cases sees it as a seamless transition, said Bill Bartmann. The next day the customer can go to the bank and his deposits are safe and exactly where they were the day before.”
Since the FDIC was formed 75 years ago, no depositor has lost money on insured deposits. The agency recently increased their insurance to cover amounts up to $250,000. “That’s a remarkable history given the chaos our country has been through,” said Bartmann.
Bill Bartmann credits the FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair with the agency’s performance during the current crisis. “I’ve been married for 36 years. If I wasn’t married to my present wife, I would chase this woman down,” said Bill Bartmann. “She has more courage than any chair of the FDIC to date.”
Bill Bartmann expects to see many more banks fail as commercial real estate loans default and local shops we drive by every day go under. Bill Bartmann is the author of Bailout Riches: How Everyday Investors Can Make a Fortune Buying Bad Loans for Pennies on the Dollar. The book recently became an Amazon #1 world-wide best-seller.
