Did You Know 4.0 - Shift Happens

Watch out world...the convergence of design and content is nearly complete. The convergence of social and media is coming....what's next?

Here's what already IS. Could you have imagined five years ago that companies like Dell could make millions of dollars from TWITTER? Heck, five years ago, could you imagine TWITTER? I couldn't...I was still learning to use Google properly, and taking classes on how to find content I could trust on the internet.

The future's looking wild.

Post-event wrap up



I've spent all week trying to figure out what are the top 3? top 5? top 7? things that I should have learned from our focus groups.

1. You like us! You really like us! (<--our people trust us and in general think we do a pretty ok job)
2. You're looking to us for technology leadership
3. You want us to create somewhere for the conversation to continue
4. You need us to stay relevant, and help YOU stay relevant
5. We need to relinquish some control and stop 'preaching at you'

Those can be some pretty tough things to swallow, and some pretty big changes. However, we're up to the task! While it may seem like nothing is happening today. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month.....we're thinking. And plotting. And planning. And using a lot of periods. (??)

What's next? Book of Discipline on Kindle (duh) better be up soon...and more freebies.

Stay tuned! It's gonna be a wild ride.
