MobileMonday Manila has moved to its new home: http://momomanila.org

Please update your links as necessary. See you at our new address!

So far we’ve discussed mobile payments and mobile startups.  We’re thinking of tackling topics like mobile security and mobile marketing in the future. But we want to hear from you!  What else do you want to learn in the Philippine mobile space?

Tonight’s attendance:  61 pre-registered + 34 walk-ins = 95 people were at the meeting today!  Thanks so much for being with us!

Tonight, Mobile Monday Manila will be having guest speakers to talk about how mobile payments are doing locally.  We have Ms. Maybelle Santos of Smart Communications to share how an integrated online and mobile solution helps the unbanked and undeserved.  We also have Atty. JJ Disini to enlighten us on the legalities surrounding local mobile payments and explain why we have those separate payment services (i.e., Smart Money and G-Cash) are needed just to have some semblance of mobile payments.

Video streaming may or may not happen tonight.  Still in the experimental stage.  But no worries!  We’ll be recording the whole event and sharing the video.

We’d like to thank Chikka for helping with tonight’s beer fund!  We’re still accepting pledges and sponsors for tonight’s beer fund so please get in touch with us ASAP!  You don’t even have to give it tonight!  Just approach any of the Mobile Monday Manila organizers.

So without further ado, we give you our live blog courtesy of Technoodling.net!

We have something AWESOME to announce on July 18, so don’t dare miss it! (And no, it’s not like facebook’s awesome!) http://j.mp/rucogD

It’s July folks!  Finally the wet season is here!  There’s a mighty good chance that there’ll be rain during this month’s Mobile Monday meeting.  But hopefully rain on our meeting means wealth that is coming!

Speaking of wealth, this month we’ll be touching on mobile payments.   The meeting will be held on July 18, 2011, 7pm to 9pm at the German Club in Makati City.

We have invited guest speakers who will enlighten us regarding the laws governing local mobile payments as well as how mobile banking has changed the lives of people locally.

Besides some interesting presentations, we will also have time to mingle and network with everyone.  

We’re also opening the floor to people who wish to give a five-minute pitch about the mobile product, services, or needs.  If you are interested to give a pitch, do get in touch with us for more information.  Your talk does not have to be in line with the topic of the night.  Just make sure it deals with the mobile space.

Attendance is free as usual.  There will be free drinks (beer, softdrinks, water) and finger food.  If you would like something heavier, feel free to order from the German Club’s menu at your own expense.

Pre-registration is now open so come on and sign in!  Get your friends to attend as well!

See you at the German Club!
