Folks,
I recently did an interview with a smart reporter, Eric Weiner, from NPR (US National Public Radio). In it, I opined that one of the most prevalent Qs when people talk on mobile/cell phones is "Where are you"?
Eric is wondering if there is any systematic evidence on this. He needs to know quickly, but I think other list members would like to know too, so please copy to the list (and to me, personally).
I'm not sure this is systematic/systemic evidence but... Boost Mobile has had a campaign in the last year or so titled "Where you at?". This is mostly a pay-as-you-go/contractless mobile company and targeted at younger consumers. http://www.boostmobile.com http://youtube.com/results?search_query=boost+mobile+%22where+you+at%22 I'd agree that it's probably one of the most prevalent (and relevant) questions being asked on mobile phones.
