Hey All!

I don't think Kevin has given a proper introduction to most of you, so I thought I might as well pop in to say hello? My name is James Falconer, and I'm the latest addition to the Mobile Nations team. My focus is going to be on all of the FORUMS around the Mobile Nations network, and the WPCentral Forums is at the top of my list. While I don't have a formal 'title' just yet, I think it's safe to say you can think of me as the guy that is setting strategy, direction, best practices and policies for our forums. I don't want to interfere with ANYTHING you guys are doing, but I do want to HELP you all and hopefully make your time here a little more enjoyable!

A 'formal' intro will be coming next week (I think!). I've already had the pleasure of chatting with Dave, Rich and Cory? I'm really looking forward to meeting the rest of you, so feel free drop me a note here or shoot me an email (james@mobilenations.com).

For the past few weeks I've been shadowing Kevin, getting up to speed on everything that goes on around the Mobile Nations (there is a LOT going on, many moving pieces!), and as I get a grip on things I'll be able to work more and more efficiently.

To give you some background on myself, here are some bullet points:

- I'm Canadian. I live in Winnipeg? and YES, I play hockey (I'm a goalie).

- I was one of the original co-founders of CrackBerry.com. I've been involved with CrackBerry since the beginning, and have worked with MobileNations in some capacity for many years. Back in the day, I was the guy that did the original site designs, setup the forums, designed ads/graphics for the blogs and store, and more.

- For over 3 years I was an editor at IntoMobile.com.

- I was lead designer on the MobiHand.com team for about 6 years.

- I recently finished a contract with a local PR company. We built our own state-of-the-art TV studio, produced our own video and written content (in-house producers, staff writers, etc.)? Was quite the experience.

- I've founded other community sites. I've lived the life of an editor, moderator and site owner? so I have a definite 'overview' perspective on what takes to run and manage a community.

I could go on a bit but I'm going to cut it there for now. Just wanted to say HELLO! and introduce myself.

Talk soon,

James
 
That's what wrong with your head your a goalie...lol Seriously we get so cought up in what we are doing work wise I even forgot to say welcome aboard.

Mod Team this guy is awesome! We finally have someone to ***** to besides me. :D I really feel James is the guy in our corner here to helps us with all the Mobile nations organization stuff. We are growing fast with his help we can join the other sites to promote global growth. Till we beet Android Central that is...
 
lol that's right... one too many shots to the head for sure!

Seems to be a lot of attention and interest since WP8 hit the scene... should be a great opportunity for us to grow the community at a fairly rapid pace.
 
Also we total abuse the Like and Thanks buttons in here in case you hadn't noticed.

It's grown by leaps and bounds since WP8 hit the scene.
 
Exciting times for sure.

It's nice to see the 'buzz' and adoption of another OS for sure. I don't think anyone in my circle of friends has used WP8, 7 or earlier... should be interesting to see if things start to change... it's all BB, iOS and Android up here!
 
Welcome James!

I go by Stephan Duval and Duvi. I am a moderator for CrackBerry (started in March 2008) and WPC. I was a mod for AndroidCentral at one point in my Mobile Nations career.

I buy way too many gadgets. I pretty much have a few devices from each platform, except for WebOS in which I just have the Pre. I enjoy helping out in the forums and see myself with a windows phone and blackberry 10 device when its all said and done.

I love Windows 8, WP8, Zune (I will not call it Xbox Music... haha) and the Xbox!

Glad to have you on board. Definitely wouldn't mind helping out a bit more around here, so if you need help with anything, let me know.

Thanks Duvi, really appreciate the intro.

There's going to be a lot of good stuff coming down the pipe for sure... so YES, would love to have your help. Same goes for everyone on the team here!

In other news... yesterday Kevin picked up a couple of Lumia 920's, so I'll probably be fiddling with that over the next week or so. Must play... with.... 920... soon... :)
 
Haha. It's a sweet device and integrates well with windows 8 and the Xbox. Smartglass is an awesome feature.
