Audie...It's the old news you can use argument.<br /><br />Audience has value. Audience (horizontal or vertical: both apply) aggregate around information they find usable.<br />That's what makes them valuable from an ad context. Their interest, and their numbers.<br /><br />What people do with the information has value, but that value is unique to them, and their challenge matrix. But not to everyone throughout the audience.<br /><br />I would add that being informed has value, even if what you do with that information is as pedestrian as discuss it intelligently with your workmates.<br /><br />More debate on this topic.Sean Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769257790200989450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033750.post-25472386980286656382010-07-26T09:39:10.176-07:002010-07-26T09:39:10.176-07:00Christopher -

But I do think there is a flaw in the way in which it is often pursued. The way you describe this, as "enterprise visions" I have no complaint about. Only when an organization believes that through research (rather than testing) that they can determine specifics about how to implement that vision would I begin to object.<br /><br />Case in point -- Google describes its mission as "organizing the world's information." Now you might suppose that there are more specific enterprise visions that the company has espoused along the way -- things like global reach, mobile device support, getting better at social (still perhaps a weak spot)... but the way in which they pursue these ideas is through creating experiments and judging the results -- this provides a much better guide for how to fulfill that vision than a bunch of analysts pretending they are smart...<br /><br />TedTed Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651155562346606560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033750.post-12421786572823844532010-07-23T20:56:53.932-07:002010-07-23T20:56:53.932-07:00Learning from the data.

I agree that Foursquare uses whatever tools are available in their environment to market themselves, just as Twitter has done... Are you saying that Twitter is some kind of fundamental shift in the way that web services can market themselves so that explains why a service today would grow so much faster? While I am sure that Twitter helped get the word out for Foursquare, there still has to be an underlying reason that people wanted to tell each other and wanted to use the service.Ted Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651155562346606560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033750.post-17834843625702586862010-06-04T22:24:43.521-07:002010-06-04T22:24:43.521-07:00Foursquare leverages the existence of Twitter to g...Foursquare leverages the existence of Twitter to gain followers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785412450723062315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033750.post-58833254748547949652010-03-25T15:28:23.306-07:002010-03-25T15:28:23.306-07:00I used to live on just the other side of the Holla...I used to live on just the other side of the Holland Park Roundabout, behind the Sheraton. It was convenient to be able to say I lived in Holland Park or Shephard's Bush, as the situation warranted.<br /><br />I was disappointed in the mall precisely for its cold, disjointed intrusion of the surrounding space. It's a harsh attempt at re-gentrification. <br /><br />I didn't even bother to go inside so I don't know what's in there, but predict discount outlets within a decade. The rich have lots of other options in London and even Holland Park and Westbourne Grove, nearby, have huge turnover in retailers. A permanent farmer's market in place of the old abandoned exhibition space would have been much better.JenVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061105531905396885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033750.post-73893083213475674862010-03-23T05:37:33.872-07:002010-03-23T05:37:33.872-07:00Hi, I happen to live in Shepherds Bush and find yo...Hi, I happen to live in Shepherds Bush and find your post good and truthful, raising some very relevant questions. I might add that I do not like the new mall much, in fact I dislike it quite a lot. Lets hope the future looks less like it and more like the lovely sense of a village reaching out to another which is ultimately what makes up London one and many a city at once and also so special.

Like maybe Vonage? Have you created a US based Skype number so you can get incoming calls from general PSTN phones?<br /><br />I've always thought about taking the leap and dumping my landline phone, but it still is superior to my mobile phone. I have the Comcast triple play and I am happy with it. Cable is MUCH faster than DSL when I was with AT&T. <br /><br />I use Skype for all calls out of North America. Wondering how much of a hit I would take if I completely dumped the landline phone.

More specifically, we're trying to answer the question "Can ambient intelligence be used for knowledge management?" <br /><br />We came accross this post of yours, about ambient awareness and business intelligence, and there are some ideas that we would be very interested to read further about, as it could help us in our research. We figured we would try to contact you...<br /><br />Generally speaking, we are trying to contact experts who could give us interesting insights. We would therefore be interested to know your opinion on the topic, that is if you believe that ambient intelligence can be used for knowledge management.<br /><br />Also, you said your blog post was an excerpt of a white paper you were writing. Could we know when to expect your paper to be completed (any chance to see it before the end of the year)?<br /><br />Thank you for your time.<br /><br />Matthieu Coucoulle and Trang HoTranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592803601736153085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033750.post-47782364555394733952009-11-01T00:39:52.907-07:002009-11-01T00:39:52.907-07:00On schedule?
