Re: Cutting the Cable TV Umbilical Cord

I don't think 4G alternatives are quite there yet. Streaming 720p or 1080p content takes a lot of bandwidth, so Comcast is going to be my ISP for awhile (2 years tops). Boxee Box will be out in stores in a week. I'm going to try my luck with their hardware, and skip Apple TV.

Yep, sports is a tough one. I've debated this for the past year. The fact that I have two non digital TV's makes it even harder. I typically only watch the Vikings, and not much ESPN any more.

There's really no quantitative measurement to determine metadata weighting in search engines. It's all important, but in what proportion....who knows?

It's still inconclusive on metadata weighting for search engines. It all matters in a proportion, we just don't know how much.

My kids find features I never knew existed. It's like this fringe benefit you never knew you had.

Haha. Some day you will Amanda. Hope everything is going well with both you and Mario. It was nice seeing you at the gdgt party.

We've discussed to pros / cons of AR / location based MMOs. GPS technology in smartphones are getting pretty close for hand-to-hand combat scenarios. Couple more years.

Thanks Alan,

I think this conversation was hashed out in Austin a couple dozen times in the groups that I was frequenting. While ease of use in the application is important, and could be better, the deals will keep the early adopters as your advocates. Think of it in terms of World of Warcraft. The studio gave you a game that you can only get to a level 60 character, then you get bored when you hit the end game. So they then have the opportunity to sell you an expansion pack(s) later on in the product live cycle. You have a lot of early adopters that are getting bored. Something has to give.

Brian,

Thanks for your insight. I believe we are a long way from newspapers not relying on ad revenue, so I completely agree with you on that point.

I can see a initial backlash to the practice of news orgs hunting down their content, which may usher a change fair use policy.

Interesting take on torrents. Maybe it will become a household name and technology.

Point 4 is what interests me the most today. Will the platform dictate the packaging of content? I believe in the short-term, the answer will be yes.

Re: Measuring Online Conversation – Social Media ROI

Thanks Don,

I appreciate the insight and feedback. We do take sentiment into consideration. The brands I have worked with, to date, have seen moderate increased in overall positive sentiment (i.e. 5% increase in the span of 3 months). It was also interesting to see a competitor of this brand drop 15% in positive sentiment, and watched sales decline sharply, a month later. Have you seen any examples of using this as a regular forecasting tool?

I realize I didn't include cost saving measures into this post, as this is sometimes much more difficult to quantify, but I do believe it should in some way be included.

Half the people saying they don't want people to know their location are probably checking in on Foursquare daily. This is huge on so many levels, even if the opt-in rate is 10% of all users.

Thanks for clarifying this Kris. I noticed it centered around more of the Ne-Yo performance. I wonder if this is some sort of copyright issue? I didn't notice the signs, but take your word for it. I also wonder if spreading the word through pictures and video couldn't help through different perspectives. I'm sure Ne-Yo gets more ticket sales, and music downloads through more WOM.

Hi Billy,

I like your perspective. It's the counter argument I hear most often. Documenting the experience takes away from you actually experiencing. I think it's a valid opinion, but if you take into account the shareable qualities of this media, you can make a case that you might be losing an opportunity to share your experience with friends that were not at the event.
