Chris Christensen showing off the Google Nexus OneIntroducing a new segment on the blog today: Tuesday Tidbits. Here are five items that have caught my attention in the last 24 hours:

* Hard to miss the Apple Tablet fever these days. And hard to bet against it.

* Todd Defren is already delivering plenty of attitude on his blog–in a good way–in 2010. Exhibit A: today’s post on “no guarantees” in social media marketing.

* Chris Christensen (in photo at right), my LiveWorld co-worker for 10 more days, was one of the lucky ones testing out Google’s Nexus One before its official release today. His balanced review indicates there’s plenty to like about the smartphone out of the gate. 

* Speaking of smartphones, just how up to speed are you on mobile marketing? Creating a mobile version of your website and blog is good first step.  But there’s plenty more to come in what could emerge as”the year of mobile.” 

* Podcasting is far from dead.
