Thanks to Appcelerator this was such a shock. I only found the article when reverse engineering some of my site’s analytics change. If you want a behind the scene tour on posts like this and my background check this out: Becoming the top ranked Mobile App Expert Full Article: By Michael King May 07, 2014 @ 1:08pm In a world where 17-year-olds with no coding experience can build a cross-platform smoking cessation app and a field services company can become a mobile app company, it’s not a secret that mobility is turning the tables. For CIOs and IT departments intent on addressing mobile head-on, it’s important to keep an ear to the ground and pay attention to the people who really “get” mobility. To help you do this, here’s the first five (in no particular order) in an ongoing series sharing enterprise mobility influencers to follow online: Michael Facemire, Analyst, Forrester Why: Facemire gets what enterprises need to do to prepare for this world of mobility — and he’s not afraid to tell them! He writes on his Forrester blog about topics ranging from building a mobile organizationto the importance of APIs, providing high-level and in-depth content for CIOs and other IT professionals looking for guidance on enterprise mobility – and a sense of where the market is headed. Where: Twitter @ASocialFace, on Forrester’s blog Mobility Words of Wisdom: “Native apps are rarely fully native.” Benjamin Robbins, Co-Founder, Palador Why: Want up-to-the minute news on all things mobile? Benjamin’s your guy. He shares rapid-fire updates about the latest mobile technology advancements, telco moves and industry trends. Better than a scoop-happy reporter, he’s guaranteed to keep you well-informed when it comes to the lightning-paced world of mobility. Where: Twitter @PaladorBenjamin (also check out this hilarious video about “bringing the mobile office to you” on the Guardian) Mobility Words of Wisdom: “Using adoption as the measuring stick of enterprise mobility spend and success is nothing short of fiduciary recklessness buoyed by sheer laziness.” Kevin Benedict, Senior Analyst, Digital Transformation at Cognizant Why: Benedict combines humor with deep experience in the enterprise mobility sphere. In addition to his informative Twitterstream, Benedict shares a weekly digest of mobility news from around the web, specifically market data and trends.

Thanks for the great time #eMergeAmericas! Miami is slowly breaking into the tech scene with events like this. Mix of Mobile Apps, Wearables, mHealth/Healthcare IT, Enterprise solutions and tons of tech startups. Including a startup competition. Winner of #eMergeAmericas startup competition: Last year was Lepsy’s App, created by Karen Bonilla she is a young mobile app expert that is based out of Ferguson High School In 2014, Miami’s Hair Construction win $50k prize. With a mobile app that shows celebrity haircuts and instructs salon artist on how to create them. So this mobile app will help you find an hair stylist that knows the style, show them multiple pictures (not just one side) and give them the “recipe” how to get it just right. “End bad hair days” Also in later-stage was weRX, who’s mobile app helps consumers find rx (prescription drugs) at nearby stores. There was even a few of us Google Glass users around the Miami beach convention center floor: Picture Tweet https://twitter.com/TheDiMassa/status/463724929783853056 Of course being Miami it was filled with celebrities from ex-NBA player to Mr. 305 himself, Pitbull speaking tech and Miami.     Personally I was blown away with the big buzz of Healthcare IT and mHealth. The Miami Children’s Hospital really raised the bar with their app and other technology solutions. This hospital is so  innovative they offer a portal where any employee or patient can request a tech solution for their in house tech incubator. Little hint to #eMergeAmericas: Please show twitter handles of speakers on intro slides and less moving room to room. There was only 1 healthcare tech talk at a time, but changed rooms every time.
