Larson Notes & Satire: Not being a mobile user does not mean that I think there is not a place for using mobile in some businesses. Just not mine. Look at your demographics of your target market. The younger it is the more acceptable to mobile and text marketing they are, the older the more the distaste for the efforts, yet I might see a place in even my business in a more mobile friendly web site. Yes the old dog can learn new tricks.
