Surprise: Social Networking Increases Efficiency But Don’t Expect Facebook Ban to be Lifted

Svetlana Gladkova

A new study released today by AT&T proves that social networking at the workplace actually happens to increase efficiency of employees instead of distracting them as we usually think about it - depending on the tools used and the purposes. The study has been carried out for AT&T by Dynamic Markets in five European countries (Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands) and involved interrogation of more than 2,500 people.
65% of people said that the companies they work for [...]

Yahoo! To Be a Default Mobile Search Engine for AT&T Subscribers

Svetlana Gladkova

Today Yahoo! and AT&T announce that from now on Yahoo’s oneSearch will power search queries on AT&T mobile portal MEdia Net by default. This move is absolutely logical since the two companies announced strategic alliance earlier this year.
Right now Yahoo! has over 60 partnerships with mobile carriers in various countries around the globe but today’s announcement makes AT&T the first US carrier to integrate Yahoo! Search right into their mobile portal for subscribers to use as the default one.
Today’s announcement [...]

My Husband Went to the Apple Store…

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

… and all I got was this bricked iPhone.
You may have heard something or other about a phone that got released today? I didn't even go stand in line, bad tech blogger that I am, but my husband gleefully stood in line for nearly four hours to get his phone, and surprised me with one (even after my well-documented complaints) as well thanks to the largesse of a gift certificate that had been planned for the pre-3G phone pricing.

AT&T has Mobile Social Platforms…but it’ll Cost You

Triston McIntyre

If you are one of the many who haven't bought an iPhone, and don't plan on buying an iPhone even with the new low iPhone 3G price, but still subscribe to AT&T, I might never understand you.  However, my misgivings about your cellular provider aside, your peculiar choices shouldn't mean you can't play social with all the happy iPhone owners.
AT&T just debuted the 6.0 version of its mobile social platform JuiceCaster earlier this week.  With JuiceCaster, cell phone users [...]

Sipping the AT&T Haterade: Why the iPhone 3G May Not Win Fans

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

Yesterday, I tuned in to no fewer than three liveblogs for the announcement of the phone I've been waiting for: the 3G iPhone. Last year I even replaced my Motorola RAZR at the unsubsidized price just so I could get the iPhone 3G when they finally came out with one, so yesterday's announcement had me darn near hysteria.
Today, however, the dust has settled. And Apple and AT&T may just have conspired to lose themselves a customer who was willing to [...]

Buzz.com and ManagedQ: Two Aggregators High on Features, Low on Anything New

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

Buzz.com and ManagedQ are the latest in the very crowded space of news aggregators, each hoping to make a splash by bringing a unique user interface to the concept.
Buzz.com, currently in closed beta, is a joint effort from AT&T and researchers at Northwestern University. With a pretty Flash interface, Buzz.com presents the news it aggregates in an easy-to-read format, and lets you filter by category, rating, date, URL, or flag only "hot topics." You can search by keyword, change the [...]
