Some great comments and questions there that I need to think more about - especially viral tracking and is mobile just another channel or a market grower! My brain is suffering from first day back in the office after a few days off - but hopefully some wise thoughts will be forthcoming. (And of course readers, your even wiser thoughts are even more welcome!) Thank you all for your kind comments!

Yes, mobile's time has definitely come and it means visitors can be supported in the destination not just in the search, selection and booking process. Live streaming from smartphones will add to the store of destination content that hopefully will increase referrals. But I am not sure how the viral component can be adequately tracked.
