BBC - Digital Revolution Blog: Rushes Sequences - Biz Stone and Evan Williams interview - USA (Video)
by karlcow
*soupir* Ce que la marque a fait est un coup médiatique pas une réponse qui est « scalable » Un compte twitter pour une marque ne va pas remplacer le service SAV (avec des centaines de personnes derrière le téléphone). La qualité du service et la réponse de la marque étaient bonnes car elles étaient un coup unique, et réalisées par une personne du service Communications de l'entreprise. Imaginons maintenant les milliers d'appels quotidiens pour une grande marque. Twitter ? Des centaines de comptes twitter ? Des centaines de gens pour y répondre. Baisse de la qualité et du service, baisse de la croyance en l'opération marketing, retour à la case départ. Qu'est-ce qui manque ? La communauté ! Un social media n'existe que si la communauté devient autonome.there was a popular blogger and he also had a Twitter account and he was complaining that his cable was out, and he was I'm going to write about this cable company, Compass and how terrible they are and its going to be the number one search result in, in search engines for year to come. And they were monitoring Twitter search for any mentions of they're brand name. And they saw that within a few minutes and they replied to him on Twitter, and they said what seems to be the problem, they were going to send a van out to your house. And they had his cable fixed in like 30 minutes, so the next day the blog post was, Compass has great customer service, and it was like a, you know a complete reversal and we were like wow, they're really smart about it,

Juxt Interactive

UXT is a company that creates from the ground up, top to bottom, or even sideways. It kinda makes sense since we were started by a couple of architects.
Lots of people ask us if we only do digital work. Well we like to think and play where people are, and these days that just happens to be the Internet. That suits us just fine because the online space has far less restrictions and barriers than other media. Juxt does not take kindly to limits, or being put in a box.

Walter Dorwin Teague
by karlcow
Designers also ventured into a territory closer to marketing than traditional graphic design. Data was collected on attendance counts, how people interacted in certain spaces, lengths of visits, etc.. Walter Dorwin Teague is important in his conceptual approach, determining what message the client should deliver and how. Instead of straightforwardly representing what a company does Teague simplified and streamlined the message, perhaps to the point of being simplistic. The end result was an exuberant romanticizing of the manufacturing process: technological development = utopia.

The Pushbutton Web: Realtime Becomes Real - Anil Dash
by Spone
& 1 other
Pushbutton is a name for what I believe will be an upgrade for the web, where any site or application can deliver realtime messages to a web-scale audience, using free and open technologies at low cost and without relying on any single company like Twitter or Facebook. The pieces of this platform have just come together to enable a whole set of new features and applications that would have been nearly impossible for an average web developer to build in the past.
