Dear Toyota

I don’t know how you arrived at the idea that an effective use of mobile media is to have phone-equipped street teams try to show apps to passersby.

Phones are not an alternate form of display advertising. A single phone is not a tool for two people to use collaboratively. The screen – what you have focused on here – is the least important piece of the phone. It’s the GSM transmitter, the part that connects it to places, people, things, the world. Treat the phone like a screen, and it will treat you poorly in return.

The last weeks have been a parade of bad mobile ideas, this is just another. Somewhere, someone woke up to realize that lot of people have phones and use them all the time. Soon, I hope, someone will wake up to realize that these phones have nothing to do with the television, the internet, or wherever it is you’ve been hanging your hat.

There are four people in Times Square, standing in the rain, trying to get strangers to look at their phones. Pay them just the same, but bring them inside and just spend time asking them how they actually engage mobile media. That would be a much better use of your money.

This is Mark. He and his co-workers at startup TuneIn.com were recruiting at the Palo Alto Caltrain station this morning. They’re conveniently located catty-corner to Caltrain right next to the Shell station on Alma – walk across the street from the train station and you’re there!

Mark describes TuneIn as "like DVR for radio," with apps available for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows and more.

What’s a QRcode? You use a QR scanner or a modern mobile phone with a camera to scan the code and get some info: email address, url, physical address or other data that a standard barcode can have too.
