Editor's Notes
- Mobilized communications and services will transform our world. Consumers are pervasively connected 24/7 & their appetite to access content and services on the go is only tempered by limitations in what can be easily achieved on a small screen. Mobile is both the largest communication medium as well as the most personal ONly eclipsed by The Internet of things: “things” being devices, cars, household electronic objects, nation utilities and transport systems that are all connected via the internet... and accessible by the mobile consumer. So we not only have a transformed consumer, and a transform world, but we also have a transformed way of creating bridges between people and the world, both physical and digital. Nano technology, Voice commands, motion gesture, ultra high pitched frequency, radio frequency identification (RFID) are emerging mass technologies that will all play a part in fortifying what can be achieved with mobile devices. Massive uptake of Mobile search, mobile payment, mobile entertainment, and interaction with creative dual screen <<transmedia>> experiences also bode well for a transformed creative palate. BUT - we need to rethink our whole approach to comms and services. We need to re-imagine our approach to communications and service development Occasional customer - loves surprise and delight Loyal customers - love predictability
- We should first understand - their NEEDS - their ECOSYSTEM - their WORLD - their MOODS - their EXPECTATION
- http://www.ibm.com/mobilefirst/us/en/ http://asmarterplanet.com/blog/2013/0 2/the-mobile-enterprise-puts-business-leaders-on-the-hot-seat.html http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/ en/smarter_cities/overview/?lnk=fkt-scit-usen How to operate the business: Many fundamental business pro cesses were established in an era when companies tightly controlled every aspect of their operations. Mobility disrupts those linear flows of work and information. Now, business leaders have to restructure their business processes to take into account new kinds of interactions with customers, employees and business partners, and new sources of information. Example: How can a B-to-C company run an outstanding marketing program without taking into account the locations of customers and their real-time communications via social media? How to interact with clients: Today, most businesses recognize the importance of their clients, but mobility and the emergence of big data add new elements to this calculus. CEOs understand that their most important assets are not just their employees but also the vast storehouses of information they possess and the day to day interaction with their clients. Leaders have to deal with the fact that, because of the mobility revolution, many of their most important clients have choices in who they interact with, when they interact and the type of interaction. It is imperative they take advantage of this new paradigm, embrace it, innovate around it and improve their client experiences. How to manage employees: For all the talk about flat organizations and employee empowerment, many organizations still operate under the command-and-control management model. Today, thanks to mobility technologies, employees have the means to gather information and make decisions on the spot, and, increasingly, they ’ll want to act. Leaders should empower them to exercise their judgment and creativity. Mobility is a great enabler. At the same time, though, organizations need to establish policies, practices and training programs that protect the company and its customers from undue risks. How to manage information: Many companies keep their information in silos aligned with particular business units and functions. Most of what they gather sits in databases in rows and columns. But the coming era of big data means a tremendous amount of information of different types is now available—including unstructured data from sensors, video and Web pages. This information must be shared across the enterprise, and, naturally, it will be pushed and pulled via mobile technologies. Companies have to manage their information so it is easily accessible for those who need it and, at the same time, protected from unauthorized access. How to manage technology: For established business, most of their technology was installed before mobility became such a big factor. It makes no sense to rip and replace it. Instead, companies should add-on capabilities that make it easy for the data and business processes managed in legacy computing systems to be available via mobile devices. New business processes and software applications should be developed with a “mobile first” mindset. That way, accessibility and security will be designed in from the start. Mobility should always be evaluated in the context of the other major technology shifts that are around it today, namely, cloud computing, data analytics and social business. These new capabilities are all game-changers individually, but, together, they can transform a business, making it more efficient, dynamic and productive. Embracing change and the impacts of technology like mobility is a great opportunity for most businesses. Change is inevitable. Those that harness it and exploit it correctly will be leaders. But technology for technology sake is not the full equation. The combination of technology along with the changing business processes, insights derived from data analytics and the changing interaction among people is the game changer.

- Communications planning is partially about choosing the right touch points for when consumers will be most receptive to receiving marketing or communications... then crafting brilliant creative ideas to win people ’ s attention. Digital has given the opportunity for brands to extend the reach of their services and products way beyond traditional physical. Now our role becomes as much about designing services, communication and commerce platforms as it was advertising. But more broadly, planning is about understanding not individual touch points, but the broader collection of touch points. How does the consumer journey take people from one media to another? And how about consumers multi tasking and co-consumption of multiple media at the same time. Mobile make all media transactional, so one of the key creative and commercial opportunities is to develop trans media experiences which invite people to cross between TV, print and mobile simultaneously.

- http://advertising.twitter.com/2013/02/new-compete-study-primary-mobile-users-on-Twitter.html We like to say that Twitter was born mobile. After all, the 140 character limit of Tweets was based on text messaging or SMS constraints. That means our platform was actually designed to allow anyone, anywhere to read, write and share Tweets. Today, mobile is often the primary way people around the globe experience Twitter. Sixty percent of our 200 million active users log in via a mobile device at least once every month. So how is a user that accesses Twitter primarily on mobile different from the average Twitter user? Working with Compete, we found that these primary mobile Twitter users in the U.S. are more engaged in several key ways. Namely, they are on the platform more often, they interact more with Tweets and they follow more brands. Here are the top five findings that advertisers need to know to better connect with these mobile consumers on Twitter: 1. Primary mobile users may be on the go but they ’ re on Twitter more than the average user. Not surprisingly, users who primarily access Twitter via mobile are 57% less likely to use Twitter on the desktop than average Twitter users. They are also on Twitter more often. They are 86% more likely to be on Twitter several times a day than the average Twitter user. And these mobile users don't just use phones to access Twitter. Fifteen percent of primary mobile users say that the top way they access Twitter is on a tablet. Advertiser tip: Many Twitter users rarely access Twitter on desktop so don ’ t forget about mobile targeting when developing Twitter Ads campaigns. Target messages by device to optimize reach and drive on the go engagement. Think about content that ’ s easy to interact with and consider the experience beyond the Tweet too – for example, link to sites that are optimized for mobile. 2. Primary mobile Twitter users tend to be younger. Compete found that 18 to 34 year olds are 52% more likely to be logging into Twitter primarily via a mobile device. Not a big surprise since younger consumers tend to be stronger adopters of mobile in general. We found no statistically significant difference in the gender breakdown of primary mobile users of Twitter. It ’ s a pretty even split. Advertiser tip: When targeting on mobile, consider the age of the core audience that you are trying to reach. You may want to prioritize campaigns that more closely align to the life stage of the 18-34 demographic as well as their interests. But, remember, on Twitter who you follow is also a strong indicator of what you care about. When targeting people who follow your brand on mobile, speak to that interest, not just a person ’ s age. 3. Primary mobile users engage with Twitter throughout the day. As mobile users go about their daily routines, Twitter is a major part of nearly every aspect of their lives. Primary mobile users are 157% more likely to use Twitter when they wake up and 129% more likely to use Twitter when going to sleep. I like to think this means they dream about Twitter too. Primary mobile Twitter users are also three times more likely to use Twitter during their commutes. Once they get to work or school, they are 160% more likely keep using Twitter. And this Twitter use extends into their social time. The study found that primarily mobile Twitter users are twice as likely to use Twitter when they are out with friends. They are 169% more likely to use Twitter while shopping. Primary mobile users are also 301% more likely to use Twitter before and after attending a movie than the average Twitter user. Sixty-two percent of mobile Twitter users communicate with people near them via Twitter. What exactly does that mean? Think about times when you send a friend a Tweet who you are meeting at a store to let them know you ’ ve already arrived. Or you tweet a photo with friends and include their Twitter handles when you ’ re all out at a restaurant. Primary mobile users also access Twitter inside the home. Sixty-six percent use Twitter in front of the TV at home. Primarily mobile users are 32% more likely than the average Twitter user to use the platform while they are watching television. Advertiser tip: When creating Twitter campaigns, think about a day in the life of your target consumers. Consider where they are, what they are doing and who they might be with at key moments during the day and evening. Think about timing Tweets to reach people wherever they are – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For some campaigns, this might mean during rush hour when they want to be distracted. Or during the weekend while they are out and about with friends. Don't miss the chance to engage primary mobile users at home too. Integrate Twitter with your TV strategy to maximize the dual screen experience. 4. Mobile Twitter users engage more with content. Primarily mobile users aren ’ t just checking Twitter more often than average Twitter users; they create and engage with Tweets more too. Primary mobile users are 57% more likely to compose original Tweets than the average Twitter user. They are also 63% more likely to click on links, 78% more likely to retweet and 85% more likely to favorite a Tweet. Advertiser tip: Mobile users tend to be amplifiers. Drive engagement and earned media by creating Tweets that include rich media, links and strong call to actions. Simply including the words “ Please retweet ” has been shown to increase the likelihood of being retweeted by 23 times, according to Buddy Media. 5. Mobile Twitter are more engaged with brands. The average Twitter user follows five or more brands. Users who primarily access Twitter on mobile are 96% more likely to follow 11 or more brands. They are also 58% more likely to recall seeing an ad on Twitter than the average Twitter user. Advertiser Tip: Create Tweets that align with what mobile users need: real-time information that helps them make decisions as they go about their daily lives. They may be shopping near your store and a Tweet about your current promotion might get them in the door. They may be waiting in a line at your bank and looking for information that will make the transaction easier. Think about creating campaigns centered around useful information or special offers that someone can act on immediately. Bottom line: As consumers continue to shift their time to mobile, a big opportunity arises for brands. Mobile is in our DNA at Twitter, which means our platform can connect your brand to users in real time, wherever they are. Because mobile ads on Twitter are part of the organic content experience, they create a particularly powerful vehicle for brands to create reach, build frequency and drive engagement.

Both the sender and the recipient will need to have ProxToMe installed on their phones (or iPad or iPod touch). Once installed, they will be able to see everyone within a 250-feet radius who has the app installed as well. “ The important thing is the proximity engine, ” ProxToMe Co-Founder Carlo Capello tells Mashable . “ Everything starts there. That differentiates our app. ” When a person is nearby, you can tap on his or her name and check out their Facebook profile to learn a little more about them. You can also chat with that person, or send them a file. All of the files sent using ProxToMe are saved in Dropbox. Received files go into a “ ProxToMe ” folder within your Dropbox, making it easy to keep things straight. File size is only limited by the amount of available space in your Dropbox, so you can send a presentation to a coworker, or video of your cat to a friend. The app uses Bluetooth to discover people nearby, but file transfers take place in the cloud. Files don ’ t start transferring until you accept them, so you can wait until you ’ re connected to Wi-Fi to download something particularly large, or ignore files you don ’ t want. You can also block other users if they send you something you ’ d rather not have. Sex Offender Search gives you access to the National Sex Offender Registry at your fingertips.

TINGLE What It Does: It's an online dating app that allows you to text and talk with strangers without revealing your phone number. I'm mainly averse to this because of the name.

Also, really, if you're apprehensive about giving your phone number to someone you met online, you should probably listen to your gut and not give them your phone number.

They can respond to you in real-time. Localmind was recently acquired by Airbnb , the website that lets your rent other people's rooms or entire properties around the world instead of a hotel. SEE ALSO: Location-Based App Maps Nearby Bars, Food and Adventure The two platforms, Airbnb and Localmind, intersect in one key way: They provide a local's perspective of a town, rather than the sanitized version found in hotels and guidebooks. Seth Porges began renting out his Brooklyn pad on Airbnb three years ago. He tells Mashable the acquisition of Localmind makes sense for Airbnb. "What makes Airbnb so much more fun than staying at a hotel is the sense that you're being let into a local community, that you're seeing a city from an insider's perspective. My guests tend to be the kinds of folks who are looking for a different and unique experience, and anything Airbnb can do to add to this is all gain," he said. The real-time aspect of Localmind is a step above the ability of an Airbnb host to recommend activities to a guest — finding out what the best cafe in town is, but also if there's seating available right now . One feature Localmind had added more recently allowed users to ask "experts in the area" questions rather than relying on someone who had checked in at a specific place. It's possible Airbnb hosts will fill this role if a new version of Localmind is built into the Airbnb experience. "Part of what I offer as a host is my years of experience of living in NYC — I give my guests a guide of all my favorite places and things, and guests often report back how much it meant to them and how much it helped their trip. But I'm only one person, and if Airbnb can build in a useful and social way of giving visitors who are looking to get off the beaten path an inside track on the best things to see — well, I'd be happy for the help!" Perhaps Localmind will help to enrich a traveler's experience by not only letting them live with a local, but dine and drink where the locals go, too.
