a quick pinch of salt...But first

“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”

Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943

“There’s no chance the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.”Steve Ballmer, MSFT CEO 2007

“Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.”

Popular Mechanics, forecasting the march of science, 1949

“There is no reason anyone wouldwant a computer in their home.”Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp. 1977

So what is happening now?

Lots of people are talking

about... Real-time streams,

Real-time search,

Real-time expectations.

users now say they use Twitter

or another service to share

updates about themselves,

or to see updates about others.

27.3 million tweets

per day with an annual run

rate of 10 billion tweets

Technology means we’ve never

been more aware that there’s a

lot of things happening now.

And we’re actively contributing

Page 9: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

People using technology to share what they do, buy, think, and watch“live-streams”

...creating more and more information.How are we dealing with it?

Page 10: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

No, it’s not a joke. “The GScreen Spacebook was designed to help you get more done in a mobile environment”

?Maybe not...

More seriously,

Real-time search.

we’re looking to practically integrate the increasing infomation overload into our lives via technology filters like

? "Phantom vibration syndrome."

— the feeling when you answer your

vibrating mobile, only to find it

never vibrated at all. (Neuroplasticity)

What is so different about real-time search v. normal search?

How are people already approaching real-time search?

o Bing & Google are already integrating Twitter & Updates into their search results, Yahoo is putting them on the homepage, even MSN linking Facebook, Twitter & Live.

o “We don’t know enough about what kinds of queries people would issue against real-time data to know how monetizable it is.” Marissa Mayer, Google

o Relevancy is important, but timeliness is the essential part.

o It is getting an idea of what people are talking about or interested in now.

o 40.55% of the tweets are phatic

o 37.55% are conversational

o 8.7% have "pass along value"

o 5.85% are self-promotional

o 3.75% are spam

o 3.6% are news.

o The potential is to combine: - on-the-spot peer reviews - recommendations - discovery - offers and time sensitive calls to action - social media connections/referrals - instant information updates.

With new ways of converting noise to knowledge.

Ellendale uses Freebase and other information sources to create a “semantic analysis of the real-time web.”

Page 14: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

Practical approaches to search and other real-time trends...

Temporal cues in your search query determine the relevance of time and change the priority of your resultse.g. If you search for “snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you’ll find updates from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.”

Real-time online collaboration

o A Business benefit of the real-time trend.

o Part of the shift from batch analytics and waterfall processes, to real-time analytics and agile processes.

o Using Google Wave and add-ons like SAP’s Gravity.

o Enable groups of people to collaborate on projects without the cost or infrastructure investment of a Sharepoint-type solution.

Real-time customer

service

o Visible staff involvement in problem resolution.

o Reacting and responding to questions and issues quickly and transparently, #twelpforce: 13,000 queries in the first two months.

o Engaging in real human conversations.

“Please hide/remove the customer-service number.”

“Our requirement is the reduce calls to the call-centre.”

“We want people to self-serve.”

“The next phase of media, I’ve been thinking, will be after the page and after the site. Media can’t expect us to go to it all the time. Media has to come to us. Media must insinuate itself into our streams.”

Jeff Jarvis

Page 27: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

Real-time eCommerce

o As retailers move closer to real-time inventory management, it increases the possibility of more widespread dynamic demand led pricing.

o Consumers can be alerted about price changes as they happen.

o They can even group together to negotiate bulk discounts.

Page 28: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

What does it means for the site owners?

More time on site but fewer page views.

Advertising analytics nightmare.8 hours = 1 pageview but 100’s of opportunities to see an ad? How can you tell which story in the stream was read and which was missed?

Decreased server costs with fewer page refreshes and DB calls as sites move from polling to real-time push.

“a clothing retailer could identify a spike in positive chat about a celebrity that is wearing one of their apparel items, and could immediately feature that piece of clothing on their homepage and launch campaigns to a targeted audience interested in that celebrity and lifestyle. This allows the retailer to immediately maximize the new revenue opportunity, and deliver more engaging, relevant content to its customer base.”

If you tap into a “live-stream” of first or second hand experiences and thoughts, how can control the flow and tell

what is relevant?

Semantic personalisation of content -

filtering and showing only what is

relevant to you.

“The semantic web provides a

common framework that allows data

to be shared and reused across

application, enterprise and

community boundaries” (W3C). Recognise that the stream is

still data and “data is not the

truth” or insight.

MOST RECENT ≠ MOST MEANINGFUL

Don’t get hijacked by vocal

minority or “overly concerned”.

The TiVo problem?Real-time risks focusing us too much on NOW and it is easy to miss things. What do we do with the stream in the long-term? We can be easily everwhelmed by piles of forgotten content from the day before yesterday. Real-time search tools are quick but don’t handle old results as well; while Google PageRank (link-based algorithms/citation analysis) is not necessarily the best approach to capturing real-time (often as yet unlinked) data.

Page 35: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

“Be the vehicle at the heart of the relationship,

an enabler (of services, content, utility, entertainment) and filter

(of noise, relevance, need) for customers.”

Behaviour & Role of brand.

Page 36: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

Lots of people, saying lots of different things, all expecting a response, now. They’re waiting. How do you deal with

expectation culture?

Page 37: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

They’re even commenting on

your site whether you like it

Social business design,

a new business structure where customer

feedback is connected to business

processes “like a real-time focus group

combining technology, data and people”.

No compartmentalism of digital or PR,

advertising is about participating and

marketing is about designing products,

services and experiences.

Every action, launch etc. will create a

instant and visible digital reaction.

o PR needs to develop “public

relationships” in rapid response to

dialogue not just manage news outlets.

o Integrated into client organisations

as a combined communications and

customer relationship/service role?

Page 76: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

o Audiences are mobile – we need to widen digital touch points and become the enabler & filter for people, - Help them now and help them plan for what they are doing next.

o To do this will require moving beyond a website-centric model to a distributed platform. - Enable customers to engage in the channel they prefer/have available and track them through fragmented journeys with a single identity - Serve only what’s relevant in current need state and location

o Customer feedback will be dynamic and real time – the crowd will express what it wants through its behaviour as well as communicating preferences and views. - An ‘open source’ approach should be considered, tailoring our propositions (function and content) to needs and feedback in real time

o Social CRM combining social listening tools with CRM systems tied back to company data to track influencer financial value and help us respond to their needs faster.

Page 77: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

o Customers will automatically connect with people they have something in common with, experiences are logged and shared automatically, so we’ll need to only serve up relevant content for people to make better decisions. - Personalise and aggregate their offers and promotions as part of shopping experience, make it easier for them to share a good deal and not to miss out - Deal expiry alerts in their streams, use networks to share trackable offer codes

o If everything is connected then there are increased engagement opportunities: but we need to design accordingly and appropriately.

o Can we extend communications to packaging/POS giving them a layer of digital information or utility?

o The increase in digital noise for people will mean that our brand will have a key role to carry the relationship. - Hard to compete for share of attention - Human reaction to mask out noise - We need to help them by making sure all interactions and communications have the value exchange firmly in their favour

“I find the term ‘crowdsourcing’ incredibly irritating. Any company that thinks it’s going to build a site by outsourcing all the work to its users not only disrespects the users but completely misunderstands what it should be doing. Your job is to provide a structure for your users to collaborate, and that takes a lot of work.”

“One of my rants is against the term ‘crowdsourcing’, which I think is a vile, vile way of looking at that world. This idea that a good business model is to get the public to do your work for free. That’s just crazy. It disrespects the people. It’s like you're trying to trick them into doing work for free.”

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia

Page 141: 2010 Digital Trends, Ideas and Technologies (Part 1)

Wikipedia is not a crowd, it is “a community… a dedicated group of a few hundred volunteers.”

A platform for collaboration...

...thrive when “reputation (of participants) is a critical component of the service mechanism.

The reputation of participants will derive from the quantity (how much, how often) and quality (how useful) of their contributions.

Accreditation (of content) is provided by experts and by the community. Recent, relevant content regarded highly by participants with a good reputation becomes the most visible.”
