All this is ok but is it justified that all the posts on this topic are referring this update as Mobilegeddon. This is so misleading Google has not called it ‘Mobilegeddon’ but every post you find on the web on this topic is referring this update by this name.
Clients call you up and ask questions about the Mobilegeddon Update. By just reading a few posts some of them exhibit an aura of see I know it all. Its all over the web .
