Ewen MacLeod
Ewan created and setup one of the country’s largest sms text to screen services in Nightclubs and bars across the UK (Neo One Impulse). Ewan was the first to program and launch picture messaging to screen back when the UK’s mobile operators were, it seemed, using sticky-tape to run their MMS gateways. An excitable, energetic chap, Ewan wanted the world to know about his team’s success with Impulse. Unfortunately the mainstream media didn’t want to know. Nobody cared. Mainstream journalists, often covering a wide area of the new media industry weren’t interested. Similarly, mobile coverage from mainstream media simply wasn’t good enough to provide Ewan and his colleagues with a good daily overview of what was ‘happening’ in mobile. Already getting hundreds of newsletters and feeds from all sorts of sources to support his day to day business efforts, Ewan resolved to sit down once a day and document stories, news and opinion that caught his eye. He named the site SMS Text News because the focus was originally on text messaging, however the site now covers a wide range of mobile spheres relevant to the executive and mobile fan, mostly with an eye on the end consumer.
