History repeats. Do you remember when everyone needed a Web site but few knew why? They knew they had to catch the bus but had neither the time nor the imagination to conceive fully of the destination. They recruited a 'Web Master' who could write HTML and throw up the first web presence. Doesn't that title sound anachronistic now? Now we know that the Web is for everyone and every purpose. How utterly game changing the destination turned out to be.
We are in the same place with mobile apps. We proudly launched our first app last week. It’s great to see it there in the App Store. Great too to see the tweets from students telling us that the 'find a PC on campus' feature is really handy. Now I'm wondering if we need to recruit an 'App Master' or two to galvanise us towards the next stage. At least I know I don't know where this particular bus is heading.
