I keep reading Apple + Twitter stories and no-one seems to have a clue why it might be a good idea… or a very bad idea… or simply unnecessary. What almost no one does… is tell me a story of why it might be a good idea. This is a crude little thought experiment. An [...]

Social Media Strategies - San Francisco Web Guild
I’m at the Social Media Strategies conference today. We’ve had the introduction and I’ve frankly been experimenting with QIK. I recorded most of the first session by propping my iphone against the open screen of my laptop. The video is here. I’m also tweeting along in the background.
I’m fascinated by the approach and comments [...]

Social Media or KM / KM or Social Media
09.23.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 5 CommentsI sat in earlier on a session on the Future of KM. There are three very different people on the panel. I’ve been listening with half an ear. This means what I write may have nothing to do with the context of the session. However, part of the reason we come to events like this [...]

What Happened to Twitter Tags & Groups etc?
Ton Ziljstra writes a recent post on Conversation Symmetry and Twitter. I’ve used much of his logic in managing my Twitter so far. However I’ve really fallen behind on “following” and must address that. Concurrently all the recent “twitter outages” affect how I view it and force me to double check the content is current.

Surf the Channel - Change Behavior No Cable TV
Dan York cannot give up his landline. For many of the same reasons I’ve not given up on mine. Luca says do it. I think there is more to this trade-off than just the landline. Dan or Luca haven’t talked about their Cable TV or digital entertainment costs. I think they are quickly merging with [...]

Is iPhone Lust Global?
05.15.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 2 CommentsWhile recently in India, Dina and I explored the iPhone factor. We saw it in the wild (eg. people using them) and talked to 18 to 24 year old leading-edge mobile users in Mumbai. We were both left a little shocked! While focus groups aren’t statistical research and Mumbai is hardly an Apple stronghold; the [...]

iPod vTouch - September 2008?
05.14.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 6 CommentsI’m keep hearing about the technology; WiMax vs 3G vs WiMax, Skype or SIP etc. Andy wrote a post suggesting that Video would be a key component defining what next in IP communications. That’s getting closer to why it might matter. There are comments here, here, here, and here. None of these really tell me [...]

Repairs, Tweaks and Choice - Mobile Phones
05.09.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 Comments18 months ago I bought my daughter a Nokia n73 in India as a birthday present. At the time it was about the coolest phone I could get for her with a 3mpx auto focus camera etc. She’s a torture test user. The first keyboard lasted one year before the whole joystick and keypad underpinnings [...]

Emerging Market - Research to Action
A few years ago my brother gave me a book Investment Biker. Written by Jim Rogers a VC who took a motorcycle on a tour of the world and then from what he learned made investment decisions. I think we’d both like to follow that dream and ride around the world that way. I know [...]

Prince A950 — My China Phone - Think Different
05.07.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 12 CommentsI’m sure many will ask me why buy the “China Phone” hadn’t I seen enough? Will you ever use one? The answer is simple. It’s a learning sample, an artifact to share, and something I can get a physical reaction and response to from others. Plus it cost me just over $100. And you can [...]

The Emerging Indian Middle Class
05.03.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 4 CommentsI made my first visit to the Dharavi Slum yesterday. Often described as Asia’s largest slum it remains central to Mumbai’s development and thriving economy. I have a few stories and themes that I want to weave together.
I cannot help having the stark contrast in mind when we define the US middle class. Recently the [...]

Where’s the Flow? Where’s My Control?
There’s a meme going around about where my information is. Loic wants it back. I started on this process some time ago thinking about lifestreams. Then Stowe chimes in with it’s all about flows. Both are right. We are learning to reconfigure how we capture and share expanded lifestreams in an accelerated environment. It’s also [...]

eComm Impact on The Future of Social Networks
Today I bookmarked a presentation by Charlene Li on “The Future of Social Networks“. I’d really like to spend more time commenting on it. However, I’m going to use it as a setup some eComm thoughts which starts tomorrow. I’ll be there and looking to put a new “lens” on advancements and where to find [...]

Michel Bauwens P2P Foundation March 6th East Bay.
I met Michel Bauwens a couple of years ago in Belgium. The session focused on the future of P2P and I found it fascinating and refreshing. Visit www.p2pfoundation.net I found the contrast similar to US vs European views on KM. US is all about the systems. The Europeans more about people and intangibles. P2P with [...]

VoIP 2008 Dawn of a New Year - Belated Post
I wrote the post below after finding I was listed as one of the top 25 VoIP bloggers in 2007. Then my recent blogging performance has been appalling and dropped me off the map. From time to time I just get blogger block and I’m trying to get back! I also write many things [...]

Video Conferencing - SightSpeed Taking Aim at Business
10.30.07 | Stuart | Permalink | 4 CommentsPeter Csathy starts his day looking into a video cam. In fact he probably spends more days and hours on a webcam than anyone I know. He couldn’t run his business without it and that’s the part of the conversation that grabbed me. I spoke to Peter (I think) soon after he started at SightSpeed. [...]

Pleo on the Move - in Social Media
10.18.07 | Stuart | Permalink | 2 CommentsSadly, I couldn’t make it to Poptech this year; having been twice before. So today I watched on live.poptech.org as Pleo a robotic lifeform was presented by its designer Caleb Chung of Ugobe. He also designed the Furby (My daughter had to have one!) and shared drawings of his approach to creating it. - [...]

Web 2.0 to 3.0 - I Want Discrete Controls
Facebook’s barrier is the wrong one. It is global not local, social or individual. Sometimes you see things in print (The Next Social Network, Theories about Google & Jaiku, How WebOS Evolves and think… hey they are just talking about what I was working on for a year in India. I’ve been [...]
