Chaos Scenario

"you'll have taken the Chaos Scenario one step further: to a digital landscape in which marketing achieves hitherto unimaginable effectiveness, but in which display advertising's main role will be to quickly, straightforwardly, informatively draw you into a broader brand experience...

"a post-apocalyptic media world substantially devoid of brand advertising as we have long known it...It's a world in which Canadian trees are left standing and broadcast towers aren't. It's a world in which consumer engagement occurs without consumer interruption...It is a world, to be specific, in which marketing -- and even branding -- are conducted without much reliance on the 30-second spot or glossy spread.

Because nobody is much interested in seeing them, and because soon they will be largely unnecessary...
The first element of Chaos presumes the fragmentation of mass media creates a different sort of cycle: an inexorable death spiral, in which audience fragmentation and ad-avoidance hardware lead to an exodus of advertisers, leading in turn to an exodus of capital, leading to a decline in the quality of content, leading to further audience defection, leading to further advertiser defection and so on to oblivion...
Those who have perennially spent more and more for less and less will finally say, "No more," and take their money online -- whether there is sufficient ad inventory or not..."

To see what the future will be it is a must to look at the present.
My son spends all his free time on the Net.
He watches the programs of TV that are downloadable on YouTube.
The best of...
He watches the movies he downloads...
He has the bigger inventory of Horror movies you can dream of.
Including rare and obsolete films.(recently a videoteca of Florence contacted him to have something they couldn't find anywhere).
The majority of baby boomers still look at TV, but the ones who have children discovered since long the Magic of the Internet.
And advertisers follow customers, don't they?
And they want sales not just audience (that is getting blinder and deafer, ads are getting like water to the makarel, something to live in without realizing that exists.)

Drag, drop and store.

Not enough space on your hard drive(s) ?
Or do you want to have access to your data wherever you are and whenever you need it?
Without any problem and store them as in your own hard drive?
Nothing easier.
The only thing you have to do is to map this remote storage as a drive belonging to your computer - the same procedure as when you would map a drive on a LAN.
There is one advantage compared to your own mapped drive on your own HD :
You have remote access to this drive wherever you are - supposed you are connected to the Internet.
What do you need?
Just to use IBackup - Online Storage Drive
No other online storage services offer this feature with the kind of performance and security that IBackup offers.

Did Apple invent something?

Just as surely as Apple didn’t reinvent cellular service with the introduction of the iPhone, it DID accelerate the changes taking place in the music business by the deal it announced today with EMI for the electronic distribution of music WITHOUT copy protection (aka DRM or digital rights management).

I agree with you, as usual 100%.
The Internet is the End of the middle man, unless he has something to offer.
Like value added services.
But these will be paid on a smaller scale.
The main result is the lowering of cost, not necessarily a lowering of income.
If you sell directly the customer pays less and you earn more...
P2P will not disappear and that should be kept in mind from those upthere.
Everything must change in order to be always the same.
And since technology changes so fast, you cannot sleep.
Otherwise you risk to wake up one they and find a different world where there is no place for you anymore...
Instead of fighting, the best move, in my opinion, would be to lower the copyright time and be really severe on that.
If you want the latest you have to pay, after the necessary time in which copyrights have paid the artist's work, it is OK to download and enjoy it.
In principle we feed on the past and that is how it must be.
Otherwise we should always begin from the beginning...

The personalization of Media

We are at the dawn of the age of personalized media. The web has given the world a place where the audience is the publisher and what we are witnessing (and hopefully participating in) is the personalization of media. It will manifest itself in many strange and wonderful ways. But also in many usual and questionable ways.
Connecting is the initial activity of newcomers on MySpace, but they move beyond that quickly.
It is more a way of marketing themselves, of mirroring one own ego, of showing and promoting who and how and when.
MySpace did not try to force people's connecting practices into pre-existing ideas of what should be.
They let the practice evolve as users saw fit, without criticism, without restriction. As it evolved, people did new things with it. They used it to flirt, to advertise bands and activities, to offer cultural kudos.
The key message: Social technologies succeed when they fit into the social lives and practices of those who engage with the technology.
Out of 50 millions blogs 90% are personal journals. Journalism blogging style is more a description of one's daily life than a reporting of news.
Most of the people are more interested in the kind of sex a couple of their age is living than the War in Iraq.
Because that is easy to understand and something you can participate
