Chapter 2: Trust & Security. Metadata – the New Language of Marketing. October 28, 2010 Monday I talked about the social networking bubble. Marketers are getting sucked into the social-networking vortex and can’t find their way out. The problem is that most companies are trying small tactical improvements, hoping to improve sales a bit and trying tactical savings programs, hoping to improve margins a bit.
Yet there’s a whole new curve of efficiency waiting in the world of pull. It’s time to start talking about saving trillions, not millions. Companies should think in terms of big, strategic, double-digit improvements, new markets, and new ways to cooperate. Here is a road map: Business information is just getting started. Metadata is the new lingua-franca of business. Accurate metadata is the new currency of marketing. Markets are conversations. Personal data will shift the power balance in the conversations.
Example: media. Example: authentication and authorization. Interruption advertising will have to change. Brands will never recover. Processed Identity: Sharing How You Got There / The Creative Pro. The enthusiasm currency. Frank Chimero on enthusiasm as currency: Blogs are free to read. What that means is that you reward places with your attention and enthusiasm. … Audience enthusiasm may be our new currency as long as many things on the internet are free. …. Read [a blog]. Email them and say you enjoy the blog, and tell them what you like about it. Recommend it to friends. If a blog starts to suck, you should email them and say “Your posts are turning into fluff.”
Michael Bierut said something in passing once that I’ve not been able to stop thinking about, and I paraphrase: If you like someone’s work, tell him or her. This simple act of enthusiasm, of kindness, of affection for good, is all too rare. Real world friends are hard to find and hard to change. It seems there’s a trajectory on this note, as over at Lined & Unlined (whose increased frequency of late is quite exciting; head over if you haven’t yet), Rob Giampietro on the nature of critique: 500 worst passwords. sur Flickr : partage de photos ! Placebo, es-tu là ?
Par Jean Brissonnet - SPS n° 294, janvier 2011 « En fait, vous n’avez pas besoin de donner un placebo pour obtenir un effet placebo et donc nous pouvons maintenant réfléchir à comment nous pouvons maximiser la composante placebo dans des soins de routine. » Damien Finniss 2010 La scène se passe dans un bloc chirurgical où l’on se prépare à effectuer une opération de la cataracte. Le patient est étendu sur la table d’opération. On est passé quelques minutes plus tôt pour étaler sur sa cornée le gel anesthésique qui permettra de réaliser l’opération sous simple anesthésie locale.
Le chirurgien arrive en compagnie de l’anesthésiste. . – « Il est prouvé, affirme le chirurgien, que dans un traitement médicamenteux, 30 % de l’action obtenue est due à l’effet placebo » – Non, affirme le chirurgien, du ton de celui qui tient la première place, ce fait est avéré et a été prouvé par de nombreuses études ». L’anesthésiste hoche la tête avec un léger sourire, mais ne rétorque pas. La remise en question.

A few days ago Adobe announced CS5, I say announced because nothing is actually shipping yet. From our previous endeavor we already knew that something new was coming. The cat is now out of the bag and we get to see what the design team at Adobe has been up to. In this follow up of our previous article we will also let Shawn Cheris, the lead designer for Adobe’s Desktop Brand team do most of the talking. The legacy of splash screens In our previous article you could read about the goals that they set out for the branding update.
You'll also notice that Adobe wanted to put some of the expression back into the splash screens. One of our first decisions was that the splash screens needed to be the hero again. That all changed with CS3. Aicher's Angles You've also seen in the previous article that an isometric grid similar to Otl Aicher's work for the 1972 Munich Olympics became the foundation of the new visual CS5 system.

All arriving and departing flights are currently suspended. The delayed flights caused chaos in the airports leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded. The recession and the Web design industry. Apr 15 2010 By Andy Warpole In the autumn of 2008, at least for a few weeks, it looked as if the very walls of capitalism were going to fall on to the heads of its participants.
The once mighty Lehman Brothers, an American corporate monolith since the 19th century, imploded overnight on September 15 and declared itself bankrupt; and then in the following month $10 trillion in market capitalisation was lost from global markets. There was panic on Wall Street, in the City of London, Berlin, Paris and most major financial centres as stocks crashed and the politicians spent billions of taxpayers money to prop up the banks. The credit that corporations and individuals in the West had become dependent on evaporated overnight and forecasters were warning of an impending Great Depression. As the vocal billionaire commentator George Soros stated: “This is a crisis unlike any other. 18 months later and the dark prophesies of a repeat of the 1930s have not materialised.

The Golden Cage is indeed a cage, and a strong one. Yet it has no door. Still the poor imprisoned wretches continue, on their own free will and in battalion strength, to pack subway-rush-hour-tightly into their curious prison. I suggest that the jailbirds’ grievances should lie not with their jailers, but with the outside world, which offers them so little.
