Getting help

We came across an article by (Ellyssa, 2009) which was very informative. Martie arranged a meeting with Bettie de Kock from the University of Pretoria, who shared some of her experience with us and also helped with what we already had. Still in high spirits, we met with Adele Botha from Meraka. On our previous post we mentioned our smart idea to create a website. Well it turned out there was nothing smart about it *sob*. Yes it was necessary. The point is there is much more to mobile services than having a website that can be accessed using a mobile phone web browser, though not limited to these, out there are SMS services, MMS, USSD etc 

What Adele did was to correct our misconception of the idea behind going mobile, "it is not about exporting the entire website to a cell phone" she said. Feeling a bit discouraged, Adele threated us to some of her magic coffee. With our cups in our hands, Adele took us through some of the work she was doing and also showed us what Meraka HLT group was investigating in regard to mobile services.
