I don't have a vote in US elections but wherever we are in the world we are affected by the choices America makes about its Presidents. And as a political junkie with a professional and personal interest in developments in the use of social technology, this article from top
marketing man and prolific author David Meerman Scott caught and held my attention.
Whatever your views about Donald Trump, there is an important story here about perceptions of authenticity and how that plays out on and via the social web.
... I’ve watched countless journalists dismiss the candidacy of Donald Trump. News stories continue to talk about him as a fringe candidate who will be out of the race very soon. There’s a smugness going around about Trump as a pretender while those who served as Senator or Governor are more legitimate. There’s no doubt that these pundits are underestimating Trump’s power as a
real-time communicator.
The WE-economy: Value Creation in the Age of Networks Peter Hesseldahl
We are moving from a ME-economy to a WE-economy. I think that's a good development, but it is also disrupting a lot of the ways we do
things.
This article is too good to miss and there is too much of value in it to even attempt to do justice to it by selective quoting. Hopefully these two paras will give you a sufficient inkling to want to click through and read more.
Underlying the collaborative economy are a handful of very strong and general trends that are challenging the conventional business models in just about every sector of the economy—not just in the types of transactions that we usually think of as the sharing economy. ...
What this means is that, generally, value creation
will increasingly focus on solutions that are created for a specific context by coordinating resources from a wide network of contributors with an exact knowledge of the user’s current needs.
55 Reasons to Attend #NMX2016 Deb Ng
New Media Expo (NMX), previously BlogWorld and New Media Expo, is a great annual event. I was fortunate to attend the first two and speak and be a panelist. It is a great gathering of the now very diverse new media tribe and the expo part provides a way to catch up with the latest technology developments.
In this tour de force of an article, Deb Ng provides 55 reasons why you should attend next year in Las Vegas in April next year. You can choose your area of interest to focus on: for example, knowing who some of the people who have presented at the podcasting stream are, that stream alone is a big attractor for me.
Above all, I have friendships and professional connections made there back in 2007 and 2008 - relationships that have endured and grown.
NMX is the first and ONLY event for ALL new media content creators: NMX
has been inspiring content creators since 2007. We started out then as “BlogWorld” but evolved because we know there’s more to online content then blogging. There’s also video, podcasting, writing and photography. So while there are blogging, podcasting, and video related conferences you can go, NMX is the only conference that brings all the platforms together in one wonderful community.
