Appearance and Style - (Out of 20)
On a basic end, the theme isn't too appealing to people just visiting, however it pulls through to the overall theme of your blog which is great. So mixing the two makes it look nice. I'm not saying the style is bad, and I'm not saying it's good. I'd just take a look at it and see if theres anything you can do with it, don't be afraid to test stuff out.
I really like the logo, I'm not sure if it actually is a scanner as well as a logo or its just decoration, either way that is pretty awesome and was a great idea. Also, the search box, it took the two or three click to realize that you click the little icon :lol: but when you do it makes this nice effect, I really like that.

Blog Layout and Categorization - (Out of 20)
The nav bar scares me a little bit, you have home, then blog. But the home is the blog. So I am having trouble understanding which category the blog link is. The other links make a lot of sense and are very nice. However that Google +1 button is in the middle of everything. It generally makes it look messy and out of place, try placing the google +1 button next to every read more button, so they link directly to the article helping social media promotion go farther.
On the sidebar, I'd combine Follow us on Twitter and our latest tweets. Just add a follow button below your tweets to save space. Other than that you have some very nice categories and they all look very well. If I was the CEO of a company looking to improve mobile marketing, your blog defiantly lays it all out for me.

Commenting Activity and Other Interactions - (Out of 20)
You don't have a ton of comments on new posts as much as older one. Granted though, your blog does seem hard to comment on. I feel your blog is more of a resource, like well written articles that someone could print out and quote as a source. I'm not going to get you too hard because of the type of blog you have and really the only comment I could see doing is "Nice Post". All though the types of comments you have are really good and you defiantly have some people truly interested in your blog.
You have plenty of social media buttons and other things to give the readers something to do. They look good and fit in.

Quality and Frequency of Posts - (Out of 20)
As I said earlier, your posts are so well written, I'd print one out to use it as a source and quote from it just because that's how well it is written. I'd say it is one of the best blogs I've seen in a while with content like this.
One thing I'd try doing if you actually were going for the resource type blog is, longer posts. I find myself reading a great article and bam, it cuts off. If you take a bit to think on posts making them longer will be easier. You are pushing posts out fast though, one already today and a couple from just 3 days ago. That will keep a steady stream of readers, and posts so often with that kind of quality, you are sure to be recognized soon.
Overall, great posts, but trying expanding them more

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)
There have been a couple grammar and spelling errors, so much that I can't point them all out, but here is one on the post "How could Qr Codes be used in newspapers and magazines?"
"QR Codes are become widely accepted " <- change are to have. If I were you I'd go back through important posts and double check them, because even though you think you spell check everything, there is always that one thing that is just wrong. I can tell you the same thing happens to me :lol: 2 am typing.
Anyway, spelling and grammar is great, but it's getting there. Just go back through your articles and make sure you double check when posting to your blog.
