Social Technographics
http://bit.ly/9ud1Op Social Technographics Social Technographics, a way to analyze your market's social technology behavior. Social Technographics was carefully constructed, not as a segmentation, but as a profile (that is, the groups overlap). That's because the actual data told me that people participate in multiple behaviors, and not everyone at a higher level on the ladder actually does everything in the lower rungs. We use the metaphor of a ladder ... |

Let's junk the myths and celebrate what we've got
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/sep/29/digital.media.new Let's junk the myths and celebrate what we've got "It never fails. I'll be talking with a group about the amazing opportunities of the internet age and inevitably someone will pipe up and say, "Yes, but there are inaccuracies on the internet." And: "There are no standards there." Or: "Most people just watch junk."" Once and for all, I'd like to respond to these fears and complaints. They won't go away. But at least I could, as the prime minister does in question time, refer the honourable curmudgeon to the replies I give here. .... |

A Roadmap for the Edge of the Internet
http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/582/ A Roadmap for the Edge of the Internet (online video) In the curious way of technological evolution, we first had computers that occupied entire rooms, watched them shrink to desktop, laptop and palm-sized devices, and now find ourselves coming full circle, and then some, Alan Benner reports. He tells this MIT class about warehouse-sized data centers, linking processors, and ensembles of processors, in dizzyingly complex hierarchies. These gigantic operations, some with their own power and air conditioning plants, are central to the enterprise of Internet behemoths Google, Amazon and YouTube, but have not yet percolated out to more traditional companies like insurance firms -- a situation Benner and his IBM colleagues would like to remedy. |

The Cluetrain Manifesto
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluetrain_Manifesto The Cluetrain Manifesto The Cluetrain Manifesto is a set of 95 theses organised and put forward as a manifesto, or call to action, for all businesses operating within what is suggested to be a newly connected marketplace. The ideas put forward within the manifesto aim to examine the impact of the Internet on both markets (consumers) and organisations. In addition, as both consumers and organisations are able to utilise the Internet and Intranets to establish a previously unavailable level of communication both within and between these two groups, the manifesto suggests that the changes that will be required from organisations as they respond to the new marketplace environment. |

One Billion Internet Users
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/internet_growth.html One Billion Internet Users Some time in 2005, we quietly passed a dramatic milestone in Internet history: the one-billionth user went online. Because we have no central register of Internet users, we don't know who that user was, or when he or she first logged on. Statistically, we're likely talking about a 24-year-old woman in Shanghai. It took 36 years for the Internet to get its first billion users. The second billion will probably be added by 2015; most of these new users will be in Asia. The third billion will be harder, and might not be reached until 2040. |
