The Know Your Mobile Team


The Know Your Mobile editorial team is made up of four individuals all striving to inform the hordes of mobile phone users

Mat Toor has been about the block a bit, after working for Dennis Publishing in the early 1990s he foolishly took up a position with EMAP and then Wanadoo before running back to work at Dennis Interactive, he has since moved over to recruit and lead his fellow Badgers to international success. Married to Tracey, Mat is a Welshman who knows how to handle a pint and a Magnum 55 simultaneously. He likes healing his bones and facial injuries quickly, pole dancers, Ibiza, rugby and ‘Life on Mars’ and slagging off EMAP

Clare Hopping began her writing career at some high flying interior design and architecture magazines as a permanent temp during her uni years. When they realised they couldn't get rid of her, the company gave up trying and kept her on for two years.

After completing her degree in Multimedia Journalism at Bournemouth University, a discerning editor gave Clare a job as Staff Writer at What Mobile magazine, where she hiked up the ladder to become Features Editor.

Two and a half years later, and Clare has become editor of Know Your Mobile thanks to a Nokia trip to Amsterdam where she met Mat. Clare really doesn't agree with pink gadgets that apparently 'make life easier for girls', but she does have a penchant for all types of music (excluding R 'n' B pop), good food, expensive white wine and anything else fermented that you'll find in a pub.

Lin Jia left Zhengzhou, one of the oldest cities in China, famous for its Shaolin Temple, where Chinese Kung Fu originated to move to London he then went on to study in Bath, after becoming a shit hot PHP developer he took a job with Purepages Group in Blackburn, Manchester without ever checking out the town and all it had to offer.

It goes without saying that he was slightly disappointed with the nightlife and after one year up North moved back down to London. He is a web developer/programmer extraordinaire and a much sought after badger who has been welcomed into the team with open and embracing arms. He likes code, Greenwich Park, Chinatown for lunches, beers and not living in Blackburn.

Andrew Williams spent two years working in the mobile games industry with a major games distributor before arriving at Know Your Mobile. As the resident content expert and games acquisitions bloke, he did his best to help the mobile gaming world’s smaller publishers, even if it did result in some morally dubious stuff making its way onto the market.

He’s also worked as a freelance journalist for several games and entertainment websites. A casual and portable specialist, although he’s reviewed hundreds of games, he’s never written a single review for a home console title.

Andrew loves drumming, likes walking around listening to loud music on ludicrously expensive headphones and avoids drinking shots whenever possible.

Do you have an email address where companies can send press releases or contact you with exclusive news offers? There is generally a contact email for editorial or a way to upload news to companies like yours. I'd appreciate you letting me know as I represent 2 very hot mobile companies in Europe - eBuddy (mobile IM aggregator) and MADS (mobile advertising technology, platform and network). Cheers, Mindy press AT MADS.com mhull AT ebuddy.com
