Organisation - Kapitel 1: Designer als Entwickler Wer heute mit neuen Produkten und Dienstleistungen Erfolg haben will, muss lernen, wie ein Designer zu denken. Beim ?Design Thinking? HBM Juli 2008 Für viele ist der Name Thomas Edison vor allem mit der Erfindung der Glühbirne verbunden. 15. Deutscher Trendtag am 15. September 2010 in Hamburg mit dem Thema Flow Control. » 15. Deutscher Trendtag: Flow.Control. Der neue Quellcode des Wandels. Von Peter Wippermann Customer-Lifetime-Value heißt die Währung des Erfolges für Unternehmen in der Netzwerkökonomie und nicht mehr Mass-Market wie in der Industriekultur. Für Unternehmen ist es wichtig zu erkennen, dass die permanente Beziehung zum Kunden zum alles entscheidenden Wirtschaftsfaktor wird. Der anschwellende Datenstrom ist über die Ufer der traditionellen Medienkanäle getreten. Die Gesellschaft wird sich weiter polarisieren: Aus den Digital Immigrants haben sich in den letzten Jahren die Digital Visitors entwickelt, und aus den jungen Digital Natives sind heute erwachsene Digital Residents geworden. Digital Visitors: Die Digital Visitors suchen noch immer nach Control und orientieren sich an den rettenden Ufern der langsam virtuell überschwemmten realen Welt. Digital Residents: Die Digital Residents baden im Datenmeer. Flow.Control.: Flow.Control. ist ein mehrdeutiger Arbeitsbegriff.

Technology Review: Advertisers Employ Social Media Google seems to have nailed the online search advertising market, finding the magic formula to attract both advertisers and consumers. The Web is still wide open, however, for approaches to advertising that catch users at other points in their online lives, perhaps when they’re not actively searching for something. At TechCrunch Disrupt, a Web technologies conference in New York last week, there was a crowded field of companies hoping to provide new ways for brands to advertise online or to consolidate existing efforts to communicate through social media. WeReward, for example, which made it to the second round in the startup battlefield competition at the event, is an Orlando, FL-based company that attempts to convert social activities that consumers are already enjoying into ways for advertisers to get attention. The company noted that users are already using services such as Foursquare to share their locations, and sharing photos through sites such as Flickr.
Technology - Google ditches Windows on security concerns Google is phasing out the internal use of Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows operating system because of security concerns, according to several Google employees. The directive to move to other operating systems began in earnest in January, after Google’s Chinese operations were hacked, and could effectively end the use of Windows at Google, which employs more than 10,000 workers internationally. “We’re not doing any more Windows. It is a security effort,” said one Google employee. “Many people have been moved away from [Windows] PCs, mostly towards Mac OS, following the China hacking attacks,” said another. New hires are now given the option of using Apple’s Mac computers or PCs running the Linux operating system. In early January, some new hires were still being allowed to install Windows on their laptops, but it was not an option for their desktop computers. Employees wanting to stay on Windows required clearance from “quite senior levels”, one employee said.
RT @BBHLabs: Just awesome talent - Pogo's 'Gardyn', a tribute to his mother & her garden (via @malbonnington) Err, this is just brilliant. Easily the best thing I’ve seen for ages. Thanks to @LenKendall for the heads up here. Pogo (creator of the quite extraordinary remixes of Alice in Wonderland, Up, Harry Potter and so on) has created a film created from sounds recorded in his mother’s garden, as a tribute to his mother (I think originally for Mother’s Day). The visuals and sounds works brilliantly well together. In fact this is the first time I’ve seen him use film he’s created himself rather than existing footage. Here’s Pogo talking about how he did it, from his blog: Gardyn is a gift to my mother, a track made of sounds that I recorded around her garden. The word ‘Gardyn’ is middle English. I pulled my mother outside one afternoon to interview her. With the vocal samples I needed, I ran around her property filming sights and sounds that I would later splice together with her voice to make music. Here’s Alice And Up Like this: Like Loading...
iBookstore now allows individuals to submit their e-books A huge number of people think they might write a book some day—back in 2002, a survey pegged it at 81 percent of Americans. But what happens after you’ve managed to pen your 200,000 word epic on love and loss in feudal Europe—with vampires, naturally—but still can’t get a bite from a publisher? Well, now EuroVamp 3000 can line the virtual shelves of the iBookstore, right alongside the likes of Stephen King and Robert Parker, as Apple has opened up the ability to submit your own e-book directly to the iBookstore. Previously, aspiring authors have been able to work with third-party aggregators with whom Apple has deals, such as Lulu, Smashwords, and Ingram. You’ll need to provide some information before your book hits the digital presses. Once your application has been approved, Apple says you can submit as many books as you want to the iBookstore.
Seth's Blog: Micro magazines and a future of media Does anyone read Time or Newsweek (being sold to anyone who will take them) any more? And when they disappear, who will really miss them? The problem is that they are both slow and general. Is there a business here? While there are still people hoping to make a living writing a blog (not as a tool for something else, but as an end into itself), that's awfully difficult to do. I'll define one as: Being digital (probably a PDF), that's free to 'print', fast to make and easy to share. There's room in the market for 100,000 profitable micro-magazines. Surely you can think of a group of people that share a demo- or psychographic, that are appealing to an advertiser base and want to learn and share what they learn... for free. Take a look at Clay and Ishita's new magazine, Fearless. Don't expect overnight successes in this form of media, but certainly expect that once someone figures out how to be the voice of a tribe, the revenue will take care of itself.
China's Silicon Valley tech innovation Posted by Sheila Shayon on May 28, 2010 12:15 PM On the second and final day of CHINICT, China’s biggest tech conference (which TechCrunch has been streaming and organizers tweeting) it's evident that some of the hottest tech innovations are occurring in Beijing's backyard. As CHINICT organizer Franck Nazikian tells TechCrunch, “China is now challenging Silicon Valley’s supremacy on two fundamentals which once made Silicon Valley the global brand for tech innovation and entrepreneurship." Not only is China "challenging Silicon Valley’s supremacy by becoming a leading hotbed for tech innovation of global impact, as Nazikian puts it; tomorrow’s Google, Microsoft, or BlackBerry-maker RIM (all CHINICT 2010 sponsors) are now incubating in China. "The era of the Chinese copy/paste model, if there ever was one, is definitely over: the Western propaganda arguing there is no innovation in China does not change the facts," Nazikian contends.
The Middle Word in Life by Matt Zoller Seitz What we think about when we think about Dennis Hopper (1936–2010) by Matt Zoller Seitzposted April 6, 2010 This video essay is being reposted on May 17, 2013, in celebration of Dennis Hopper's 77th birthday. Dennis Hopper, the subject of this video appreciation by Matt Zoller Seitz (first posted on April 6), died on May 29, 2010, at age 74. "Dennis Hopper: The Middle Word in Life" is an attempt to capture the essence of what we think about when we think about Dennis Hopper. While editing the piece, I briefly toyed with the idea of narrating it, either via spoken voice-over or onscreen text. The end result is a video and audio collage that jumps among significant aspects of Hopper's life and career.
The Design Buzz – Graphic and Web design Community News How “Open” Is Google Really? While we were thrilled with Google's many announcements at Google I/O, particularly the announcements that went against the grain of Apple's one-man-one-device ethos, we have to take the company's claims to openness, choice and freedom with a grain of salt. This is America, Google is a major and successful corporation, and as such, it will be "open" usually when such behavior is profitable. The company's not going to open-source its search algorithm any time soon, for example, or make its advertising software free for modification and redistribution. Relative to other corporations, such as Apple, Google does a commendable job of not "being evil," but it still controls a ton of user data and infringes on user freedoms in specific ways. Not long ago, we sat down with Free Software Foundation and GNU founder Richard Stallman, a pioneer and legend in the free and open source communities. Take a look at this video, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
