A few links from around the Web on the latest in mobile storytelling and mobile application innovations and uses:

• The Walt Disney Company has created its first app-based character, Swampy the Alligator. Given the relatively small expense of creating characters through this medium, expect more new characters to follow.
• Michigan State Parks offers a  Camping and Recreation Locator application
• Top Mobile Website Awards for 2011 announced.

Finally, for those who haven’t seen it, Brett Oppegaard runs a Mobile Storytelling website with plenty of further resources and links on the subject.
