I attended the 17th annual Venture Capital & Private Equity Conference at Harvard Business School in Cambridge this past weekend.  Check out my thoughts at my post on Insider Mobile.

We have a lot of acronyms in the mobile industry. There’s SMS, MMS, WAP, CTIA, RIM, GSM, CDMA, OTA, MMA…and the list goes on. MoMo, or Mobile Monday, is another acronym known, in particular, to us mobile insiders. But every time I hear this acronym, I can’t help but reconfigure it as an acronym for an important demographic segment in mobile: Mobile Moms.
