People won’t pay for Newspaper Content Chart: Shock! People won’t pay for Newspaper Content By mattbamfordbowes on September 29, 2009 Yesterday, Silicon Alley Insider published a chart saying that the majority of online users would not pay for accessing news on their favourite news site. Infact, they wouldn’t just not pay for it, they would actually switch allegiance to a competitor. find this strange, especially because of the differing political views between each paper…especially in the UK. Therefore, it is essential to maintain levels of quality through paid access.

Google’s Achilles Heel : Twitter has stepped ahead of Google with their developments in realtime search. Have summarised the main trends below – I’ve got a handout if anyone wants to read anymore as well: A new era of etiquette: Through social media our online reputations now require careful management. Our social profiles are available for numerous people to see, share and comment on – and there is an emerging importance on the etiquette attached to these public profiles. Will Google be able to keep up and is this the first technological challenge to Google?

Having changed their logo to showcase their greener side, which seems to amount to David Cameron cycling to work, they have now launched their new community platform. Woohoo. Clearly, copied/borrowed/stolen from the mybarackobama.com, the Conservatives have decided to call it… myconservatives.com. However, MyBarackObama was reguarly shortened to myBO.com, which I presume means myconservatives.com will be shortenend to mycons.com. rather appropriate shortenting I think.

Especially when the owner has to remove all known English grammer rules including the all important vowels. Gdgt launched on the 1st October to a bit of fanfare. picked up the post on PSFK. The site itself is really interesting, almost a Hype Machine or Gadget lovers social network is how I would describe it. The premise being that you upload the gadgets that you have or love, and GDGT will connect you directly to other users so you can discuss, review, and rant about the gadget of your choice. Like the Motorola Razr? On the iPhone with O2? Dan on A New Focus on Social Business Strategy.

The printing press gave us newspapers, we were happy. Since then, the market has changed rapidly and diversely. The term until about ten minutes ago was “multi-channel&# , audiences were using different channels so we needed to target them differently. Now we talk “Omnichannel&#. Omnichannel should be defined as a slight extension of multi-channel, but was actually defined to me this afternoon as “uniting all channels to the same message to drive users through different channel touchpoints&#. It seems to me that Omnichannel is a simple content management idea.

It sounds like I might be in the minority if this recent chart from Silicon Alley Insider is true. Lunchtime, as the post announces, appears to be the new primetime. Touchpoints has always demonstrated that there appears to be a secondary, but lapsed peak around lunchtime. Silicon Alley now confirms that peak as one of concentrated viewing of the Next New Networks video content. think this is really interesting although it is hard to gauge how representative this information is of core networks such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc. Are they more male at lunch? more female? how do we tailor content?

This software has really excited me for a number of reasons, but mainly because it is just so damn cool. PhotoSketch: Internet Image Montage from tao chen on Vimeo.

Is Online Advertising Working or Not? By mattbamfordbowes on October 7, 2009 There doesn’t seem to be a clear answer to me. have read three different studies in the space of three days… 1) The IAB have announced that online advertising has outstripped TV advertising in terms of spend in the UK. growth in the first half of the year has pushed online past TV 6 months ahead of schedule because of the recession. Down 5.4% from April to June compared to the same period in 08. 3) Then I saw this, Barely Anyone Clicks on Online Ads anymore article. Powered by WordPress and Hybrid

successor to the Samsung Flip which I also have a desire to own. The Zoom Q3 from Samson, which appears to be only available from Dolphin Music (at a reasonable price), takes the Flip and moves it on one stage in terms of audio. Samson have a heritage in sound) It doesn’t actually look that great, but the sound and vision is cracking thanks to its MPEG-4 SP format. think I might just be adding this to my Christmas list.

If you didn’t you probably won’t know what I am talking about. However, I think I saw the most powerful search engine on the planet being used and reckon it probably made Google very jealous. The search engine in question was asked to return search results on “Crows Dying at the same time&# and returned just one result, with accompanying video and text explanation. Surely this is the future of search? Dan on A New Focus on Social Business Strategy. Powered by WordPress and Hybrid

You have got to love the “genius&# of creating an iPhone Application which tells guys how to score with women, then gives them their own mini-benchmarking system to share with other guys. Not entirely the smartest marketing move this year… actually hold on… wasn’t it also Pepsi who changed their logo to look like Obama’s for a princely sized sum???

The first campaign appears to have been relatively successful in driving increased searches on Google, and thus could perhaps be deemed to be making inroads into the UK mindset. The chart below seems to indicate this. The Yahoo campaign however appears to be less than successful. Alot has been mentioned about the campaign, yet I still don’t really get it. The campaign doesn’t really tell me anything apart from that its about “You&#. Anyway, don’t take my word for it, the chart below shows the sizeable decrease in buzz for Yahoo. Thanks to Silicon Alley Insider for this.

Given the ruling of the FTC that all bloggers should say when they are being paid to blog, I feel its necessary to be transparent from an agency end as well. Therefore, I think there are five key points to blogger outreach: 1) Research. a) There are alot of companies out there like Social Media Library, who will sell you a list of blogging names with their own influence index built in. These companies are taking you for a ride if you think the quality of database is any good. You are much better off doing the research yourselves and establishing your own influence index for bloggers.

Its about a month old now, but I still think the alarm bells are ringing in my head. The big issue I feel is that alot of social agencies have created the image that ROI and commerce aren’t important factors of social media. Being part of a traditional agency, we feel these are the two most important factors in social media. Therefore, I have developed a framework which I feel could be useful for the measurement of social media activity: The framework is pretty basic and clearly anyone who reads this will have an opinion. Dan on A New Focus on Social Business Strategy.

For me, there are alot of agencies, cultures, “gurus&# who view social media as a seperate space with seperate rules. There are indeed things that need to be done differently, but there are simple rules which should be followed. For example, rule 1 always compare your social media monitoring solution and its outputs to the outputs your other media channels give you. call this social econometrics and its this which will help us prove the success of social campaigns in the long run.

Although fully focused on TV alot of the time, they often try new media channels to open up new audiences and drive efficiencies. Therefore, its not suprising that an iPhone app appears on the plan for VW Golf GTI in the US. However, what is suprising is the lack of any other media, for the launch of this new model from VW. You could say this is a rapid shift in gears from VW, but wishing to keep out of automotive jargon and tongue-in-cheek metaphors, I won’t use anymore.  Making no attempt to differentiate its branded offering from the original (indeed, why would they?)

Viral Campaign or Real-life Mystery? By mattbamfordbowes on October 30, 2009 I was pointed towards this by Thoughtomatic. Apparently, the guy featured in this image is the person we all have a dream about.

However, I feel there is a certain sense of irony in his new book “Free&#. Although, I really like the book and love the concepts within. can’t get past the fact that I am being charged £18.99 for the book. Probably my fault for purchasing at Waterstone’s really.) I am aware that as a digital guy I probably should be downloading this for a Kindle or other e-book which I believe Chris did release for free for a limited time. is merely a donation to charity through the book, therefore rendering the book as “Free&# or even freeing. Great book though.

think its pretty reflective of what we have known for awhile within media, that portals are no longer drawing the dwell times they used to. This seems to be partly because of the lack of consistently good content and therefore, these sites no longer being the portal to the internet. Hence the original name) What is also not surprising is the way that YouTube and Facebook have taken over time spent, an almost like for like swap with MSN and Yahoo. Yahoo’s move to being about You, seems a year or so too late. Dan on A New Focus on Social Business Strategy. Powered by WordPress and Hybrid

focusing of the mind if you like. However, the guys who organise these presentations have started posting these presentations online and there are some really interesting visual and audio examples of how this should be done. PSFK also make the point: It’s an interesting example of online-offline-online: People who know each other virtually, congregate and share ideas in the real world then those ideas then go back online. It certainly brings about the sense of “simplicity&# which people like John Maeda have searched for and companies like Philips have tried to implement.

Not entirely sure if there definetly ever has been a “YouTube’s top live event charts&# but with 10 million views U2 has delivered. Quite strange really as you would expect YouTube to have done similar events to similar scale, but I guess this is a reflection of YouTube’s slow move into really good professional content. Its still 95% cats on skateboards in my view. Interestingly, 3 years ago I worked on the Live Earth Al Gore event with Philips and MSN. Dan on A New Focus on Social Business Strategy.

Not only does it back up my thinking about how blogging outreach/blog seeding should be done (or actually shouldn’t in this case), the actual response is pure genius. Thomas Brown of TopSpot Promotions congratulations, you are the winner of the inaugural “How to Lose Business and Alienate Bloggers&# Award. “Thomas wrote back, explaining that his client was an online bingo company called 888ladies.com. Hmmm, I thought. Sounds right up my alley. You can write the post as you want as long as it will be positive. look forward to hearing your thoughts.’

The first one was a chart taken from the guys over at The Relationship Economy, which is below. There is a good write up of what this means over at the relationship-economy blog. link here ) My take on it is that the boom of the internet which has been powered by free services (Google, YouTube), has been even more amplified by its underpolicing and the ability for any user to take any domain name. am in fact guity of this with about 10 domain names unused to my name. This has led to the boom in hostnames highlighted below and the ever growing difference between hostnames and Active names.

first found out about this search engine whilst reading MIT Technology Review and I was looking forward to getting my hands on Wowd to see if lived up to its billing. Unfortunately, at the moment its a slightly disappointing product although the potential is clearly there. Wowd is a social real-time search engine, basing its results on what people are actually searching for right now. The most popular searches appear on the homepage, but Wowd are trying to encourage you to download an application to your desktop which will track your browsing behaviour.

Twitter lists have launched to much acclaim, but how do you cut through the chaff to really understand how to use them and why you should even bother. Clearly, the UK is somewhat behind the US in terms of usage and still not everything is made as public as some of the Twitter usage in the US. Link Here I apologise it is on the Daily Mail) However, Twitter lists could and should be used by all Twitter users to help bring a bit of sanity to the proceedings.
