Baratunde Thurston[archive] (souvenir de SXSW!) from The Onion: How to be mayor! Taking politics to the next level! Une «campagne» bien documentée[archive] pour conserver la mairie du resto Delicatessen[archive]. Very very funny.
- 2.0 is not what we think. we are seeking Internet connection everywhere.
- Pandora: first built on the web (20% of radio listening at work, so break free in the pc). Invest in every device. now 50% use pandora on « PCs ».
- automobile industry moves slowly, demand is too high for Pandora like usage, internet connected world makes them move quicker (and they do!).
- billions channel now, helping people navigate that. back to simplicity, ease of use (in car, in palm of your hand, everywhere, different network too).
- monetize. advertising is not the same.
- partnering is important.
- get use to failing. work to succeed.
- you must be excited about this world. change the world! real world.
Anil Dash[archive] (long time no see…) anime la discussion avec Ryan Sarver, le gars de plateforme (API) @ Twitter.
- rien à signaler. ils ont un api, il sert différentes plateformes. zzz.
Bret Taylor arrive, CTO of Facebook. Could be fun.
- doit-on choisir une plateforme? des cultures différentes. facebook is social from the ground up.
- should we standardise APIs (for sign in, for profile access, core function)?
- oauth/openid, else, too many difference. These products is very different.
- activity stream standard? (rss was a standard, anil dash: rss failed, user don’t use it).
- rss was too ambitious. activity stream is core, is evolving too quickly to standardize. over time some will be standardize, but it still to early, would reduce innovation / competition.
- facebook tried to define a standard around « the social graph », project is still in it’s infancy. facebook is about connecting things, and defining identity, not just the stream.
- twitter and « favorites », does it do something?? (good question), could it be Twitter’s « like ».
- serving the food trucks? moving around town? business and location.
- we have not seen the best of location and social application. still in its infancy.
- Trust of the platform: developpers must trust twitter and facebook, balance and frontiers, be transparent. Communicate internally that’s important for developpers to succeed. long term, short term.
The Future of Work[archive]
- If we could automate everything, would we be happy (Player Piano, Vennegut)
- Point: automation will cause an increase in jobs.
- chômage, varie entre 4 et 12% depuis 1948…
- workforce augmente
- litteracy augmente
- besoin de plus de travailleurs, pour feeder les systèmes de reconnaissance.
- pas de travail: violence, poverty.
- a job is better than a handout.
- biggest job creator: assembly line (Ford 1913).
- small task for everybody.
- China: big factory.
- Africa: no infrastructure for big factory.
- the sewing machine of the future: the cheap laptor (Buquette 2.0 voilà!)
- assembly line of the future is connected and distributed.
- reducing the friction of collaboration.
- she put together a 911 SMS system.
- poor people are productive assets for society.
- they will solve the data problem, and save poverty at the same time.
- inspiring.
John Miller, NewsCorp:
- working with Rupert Murdoch, smartest person in « old media », and curious.
- strategy, and business.
- history of a turnaround guy. we don’t have a great history of turnaround in that industry.
- sustainable company are important. Not a long enough list. Relative to the great people and all the capital invested.
- turnaround: it’s product lead (not marketing). no point for showing up.
- mobile usage: apple is simple, you deal with apple. android, you deal with phone maker, carriers, google, not necessarily clear for content/app providers…
- some people do news, some people do advertising, not the same business. doubleclick exchange, instant market that scales, google-like.
- worried about: health of non-sustainable company with lots of users.
- excited about: devices are getting really good, loves the iPad (can survive with it), can’t imagine how great the future will be (they are great today.)
Nick Bilton[archive] on the future of publishing, The NY Times R&D Lab and bit blog.
- sensors as reporters, able to report data and tell stories.
- newspaper 2.0 (wha’s next: flexible display)
- data visualization research: telling stories.
- Book: I live the future and here’s how it works.
- 30000 recherches du mot « sex » par seconde.
- Porn can tell us something about the future of media.
- 2006: 2.8$ billions revenue.
- adult content at the forefront of tech
- Peter Johnson: Pornography drives the technology: why not to censor the internet[archive]. (books, telephone, vhs, dvd…)
- Analyse the porn industry in California. Big publishing: Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler #Failed. Kept trying to push the papers, did not explore the digital world.
- Digital: niche. Selling an experience, not the content. People pay 25$.
- Same as all media industries (msn, music, movie/cable, etc.)
- more to life than porn:
- I can’t concentrate. me is multitasking, i’m at my best.
- the ability to engage in two tasks at the same time depends entirely on what the tasks are.
- our brain is multitasking all the time. (Brodmann’s Area 10)
- Tecnochondria. fear of new technologies. Livres catastrophes: distracted, Is google making us stupid.
- fear in every industries…
- Videogames: tetris and the brain, makes you better. Nice research.
- Brain is adapting, it’s not evolution.
- We where never born to read. (brain). We were never born to surf the web.
- Going online is a new narrative.
- business models? don’t talk about it yet, because we still don’t know what we are selling. Selling newspapers on post-it notes? not.
- inspirant (ça c’est un conférencier!)
