If you struggle to keep track with all the latest mobile-marketing news, you’ll be pleased to know that you can now pick it all up in one place.

mobiThinking has been scouting around for an expert to write a primer on twittering. While asking our friends in the Mobility.mobi Forum for their recommendations, we were given some handy links to great articles and examples of Twittering in action.

Please let us know of any good twittering guides or brands who you consider to be masters of Twitter.

After 13 years honoring the online Web, The Webby Awards announces its first set of mobile Web winners, saying: “The mobile Web has outgrown its infancy to become the next truly exciting avenue for content, services and commerce. The inaugural Webby mobile winners have shown the foresight and ingenuity to excel within a quickly changing and increasingly fragmented mobile Web universe.”
The Mobile Web Experience Benchmarks highlight how major brands address the challenge of delivering quality Web experiences to consumers who access information via the mobile Web. The benchmarks will help everyday users better understand the mobile experiences delivered by the brands they use for travel, online banking and search. Benchmarked businesses will learn how well they perform on the mobile Web relative to their competitors.
