CLOUD, Inc - What Is CLOUD. Webify Me. – November 15, 2011Posted in: Retired Two months ago Mozilla launched a campaign called Webify Me. The campaign was rooted in the idea that although there is one Web that we use, we all have different interactions with it, which makes the Web both unique and personal for each individual. Webify Me is a site that builds a fun, visual manifestation of the user’s personal Web. Users answered a series of fun questions on how they use the Web. Then they were presented with their personalized visualization of their web. It was represented in a collage using 250 original photographs, from a locket symbolizing online identity, to a mix tape symbolizing musical appreciation, to a spork symbolizing multitasking. A few Mozilla friends participated and shared what their Web looks like to us and to our Firefox users.

Demographics have defined the target consumer for more than half a century — poorly. Now, with emerging interest graphs from social networks, behavioral data from search outlets and lifecycle forecasting, we have much better ways of targeting potential customers. The rise of mass-produced consumer goods also brought the rise of mass-market advertising. In the 1950s and 1960s, the goal of television was to aggregate the most possible eyeballs for advertisers. Marketers created that buy-in by bucketing people into generations.
But now, that entire system has broken down. Fragmentation is now the norm because the pace of change is accelerating. Social Profile Data. Welcome to cvgram.me.

Joe's Goals - Free Online Habit Tracker. The End of Human Specialness - The Chronicle Review. Jaron Lanier The defining idea of the coming era is actually the loss of an idea we never had to worry about losing before. It is the decay of belief in the specialness of being human.
As an example of what that would mean, consider the common practice of students blogging, networking, or tweeting while listening to a speaker. At a recent lecture, I said: "The most important reason to stop multitasking so much isn't to make me feel respected, but to make you exist. Decay in the belief in self is driven not by technology, but by the culture of technologists, especially the recent designs of antihuman software like Facebook, which almost everyone is suddenly living their lives through.
This shift has palpable consequences. This shift in human culture is borne by software designs, and is driven by a new sort of "nerd" religion based around a core belief that a global brain is not only emerging but will replace humanity.
