5 steps to both grow and simplify filling the right fishbowl(s)
1. Strategize
2. Create Simple Systems
3. Listen
4. Visualize
5. Share (Smart) 1717
… as I’ve said many times the future is already here
William Gibson, 1999, NPR
— it’s just not very evenly distributed.

1. STRATEGIZE
How we can use this abundant data to make better creative input decisions?
19
W’s: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How?
What do I need to know?
What types of projects are coming up?
What is happening I would like to follow? Who are major creators in my genre? How do I create a path or two for new ideas?
What resources are available out there already?
20
What is available for free or cheap?
Will that cloud-based tool go away because it doesn’t have a robust business model? Will I be stuck?
Is it free or cheap because they share rights to my information?
Can you move OUT?
Can I go back and forth?
Can I use different metaphors?21
Consideration Sets – Order and Alternatives
Affect CHOICE
Anchors — first ideas or data lock in the process and create bias
Art of the Possible — how broad of a range of options?
22
Tools Impact Choice
Google + email + folders with mixed labels + maybe Google Drive or Dropbox = ?
Abundant options!
23
“Just In Time” Search — Not Neutral
24
Keywords/Taxonomies/ Domain Phrases:
Words we use
Affected by location, mode (e.g., mobile), past searches
Nature of Google (67% of US Searches): Inbound links, not public popularity, and Google’s PageRank index
Search & Social drives Ads: re-targeting and augmentation
25
The Words We Use and Plan Around Matter
“Keywords"
Google Keyword Planner -- challenge of Google Analytics and keywords
Alexa -- keywords
Our own “taxonomy”
How do we search, gather, and re-find information for our work domain/field?
What words are important to other people, esp. in our genre or who be seeking our work?

Other Starting Tools
Google Analytics
Web TrafficAlexa
Compete
Quantcast
Moz

2. CREATE SIMPLE SYSTEMS
How can we use tools and design systems to use data for decision-making and business growth?
36
37
Twitter “Scraping” – Following Competitors and Experts
SocialBro, Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, + MANY More
http://www.socialbro.com
38
http://tweetdeck.twitter. com39
Storage and Replay: Social Bookmarking &
Dashboards
What to DO with the darned information once we have it — for ourselves and for our working teams
Examples:
Diigo in Social Bookmarking
NetVibes in Dashboards for teams
40
http://www.diigo.com
41
42
http://www.netvibes.com
43
Easy to Track Website Changes and Blog Updates
44
Storage and Rediscovery
Hard Drive — cost in time and resources, rediscovery, privacyTendency: Folders on hard drives, with uncertain names
Sharing Ideas• Evernote (Your 100 year
memory)• Dropbox (consumer), Box.net
(end products with clients, Google Drive
45
Opportunity in New Combinations
Reorganization — going through old folders
Forced Adjacency — putting ideas together that normally don’t mix
47
3. LISTEN
How can we use data from inside and out that is already around us?
48
Business Intelligence Through Social Media
Skimming from social discourse
Skimming through social sentiment
Real-time analysis
49
Challenges with Aggregated Data
Who are you? Multiple devices or browsers
Who are you? 5 users on Netflix, etc.Source: By Jeremy Keith (Flickr: Cuddling with multiple devices) [CC-BY-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

Data – Presence and Connecting as Content and Data
Social Networking as content
Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, FourSquare, Reddit– what are you doing and what do you like?…with data
Ecosystems around ecosystems: Twitter and FB application developers
Diigo, StumbleUpon, Pinterist, Tumblr, Instagram, Vine, SnapChat – what are you looking at?
Spotify, YouTube, and Pandora –what are you listening to?
51
Listening
Basic and Easy: Job Postings by Competitors
Scraping Twitter feeds of competitors and industry pundits/reporters
Google Alerts – any keywords that you choose
52
4. VISUALIZE
How can we use visuals to make and persuade around decision and data?
53
Visualization: Decision Framing with Complex Data
Two goals:
1. Use visuals to made decisions with data
2. Use visuals to convince others in organizations to make similar or better decisions
54
One Example: Gapminder
55

Concept Mapping – data visualization

5. SHARE (SMART)
How can we work with teams and partners to best use collaborative data and tools?
58
Current Knowledge Patterns
Common: email, print to share, cloud or hard drive folders
Weak choice to filter, find, and discover
Demographic differences
“Zero” cost – high social costs for others, social obligations
How do you discover, filter, and store creative projects with collaborative groups?
59
Knowledge Management for Collaborative Work
Assumptions and unspoken routines
Difference by audience and type of work
E.g., creative tools at http://www.creativebloq.com/design/online-collaboration-tools-912855

Obvious Tools: Sync and Share
