Twitxrphotoblogging
• Twitxr - Like Twitter, With Pictures. Yeah, It’s Photoblogging.
• Posted: 17 Feb 2008 02:46 PM CST
• FON (better known for building a WiFi community) launched Twitxr today through their FON Labs group. Basically, it’s Twitter but allows picture uploads when sending a message (which makes it particularly useful for camera phones). FON founder Martin Varsavsky announced the product on his blog.
• So, yeah, basically it’s a photoblog. You can easily set it up to automatically send your messages to Twitter and Facebook too, though, which is useful. My Twitxr account is here. Here’s an example of a message that was copied over to Twitter. Another feature I like is the fact that you tell it where you are, so location information is included.
• Varsavsky says it’s specially designed for the iPhone, and they’ve created software that makes uploading text and a photo from the iPhone very easy. As a third party application, though, it isn’t officially available for the iPhone. You have to “jailbreak” the phone before you can install their application. It looks like you can’t simply grab a photo that you’ve taken normally from the iPhone, either. You have to initiate the photo through the Twitxr application. The application automatically adds location information to your photos and updates.
• Twitxr is the upteenth variation of Twitter to appear (see Jaiku (acquired by Google), Pownce, etc. One clone has even gone to the deadpool. This isn’t even the first Twitter-variation to include photos - see Zannel . This is something Dave Winer has been working on with his FlickrtoTwitter project as well - which sends links of your new Flickr photos to your Twitter account. And photoblogging is nothing new. So as pretty as Twitxr is, perhaps FON should stick to wifi.
Collaborate/Co-Create
• Wiki’s• Consumer-Generated Media• Open Source Software
– Firefox
– Linux
• Creative co operation• Mash-ups
Consumer generated media
Mash-up
• In technology, a mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool
• An example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data from Craigslist, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source.
Combined
Crowdsourcing
• Crowdsourcing may work for Wikipedia, but few commercial companies have figured out how to make it work for them. The basic concept is to get outsiders, preferably customers, to swarm together to design a product or complete some other project.
• ExamplesCrowdsourcing is quickly becoming a crowded field—there’s Innocentive, Cambrian House, the soon-to-launch CrowdSpirit, and Ideablob, to name a few sites. But Ben Kaufman, the CEO of a startup from Burlington, Vermont called Kluster, thinks that what is missing are market-like incentives to motivate contributors and push the best ideas forward.

Buzz words – the Long Tail
Widget marketing
The evolution in buzz words
• Web 1.0– One-way communication
– Pretty postcards
– “brochure-ware”
– Internet is just another channel
– “Corporate-speak”
• Web 2.0– Design : Customers want a rich user experience
– Open source : If you want to get, you gotta give
– Communications : Who will host the conversation?
• Web 3.0– Views on the next stage of the World Wide Web's evolution vary greatly
– Semantic web (in which automated tools can read pages) leading to artificial intelligence
– Increasing Internet connection speeds, leading to super computer powers etc
• People want human interaction• The Internet is NOT just another channel for broadcasting• The conversation went elsewhere

must acknowledge and facilitate consumer control.
Power of the few
10% influence purchasing behavior of other 90%
...so 91% likely to buy on recommendation
Your reach is wide
You have
11 TO 12
Intimate contacts
150
Social contacts
500 TO 1,000
Weak ties
That wide reach fuel diffusion for a marketer
A network of 100 people
= 4,950 possible links
A network of 1,000 people
= 500,000 possible links
Word of Mouth marketing
• Buzz marketing – Special hook, event, promotion. Aqua Teen Hunger
Force Boston Bomb Scare• Viral marketing
– Branded material, websites, widgets, bligets, videos, utilities, collaboration tools etc. that sneezers spread. ParkRidge47, Vote Different
• Influencer marketing– Identifying and finding the influencers
• Evangelist marketing– Turning most loyal customers into citizen marketers
• Street marketing– Interacting at popular offline places like Buzz Oven
• Stealth / Undercover marketing– Bree, lonelyGirl15
It’s about Social Behavior
• It’s not about a cheaper product or your idea. Try to change customer behavior.– It’s not about better coffee – it’s about the place
– I am not looking for a ¼” drill bit – I need to make a hole
– It’s not about the hog, it’s about a lifestyle
– It’s not about the sound – it’s about how it makes me feel
– It’s not about the sound – it’s about being hip
– It’s about my space
– It’s about my video
– It’s about my opinion
– It’s about the experience
– It’s about your choices, places, and time
• Examples– Apple, Starbucks, JetBlue, MySpace, Harley-Davidson, Tivo, Stew
Leonard’s, Threadless
Path of the transformation
• Democratization of 4Ps paradigm– Citizen branding– Collective collaboration– Collective risk sharing– Collective product innovation
• Citizen marketers will sell “remarkable” ideas • Innovators should adopt the 1% rule
– If you don’t find the “sneezers” or connectors, the 80/20% rule won’t matter
• Work backwards– Build your brand around your idea first. If the community you are targeting
does not coalesce and rally around the idea, continuing to build the product is irrelevant
• Create your own “blue ocean”– If you play it safe and go by the rules of your industry, value chain, and
business model – you’re dead!– Most industries and markets are saturated and highly concentrated.
New Paradigm
• Sell your idea first• Find your actors (audience) first• Size does not matter• Reduce risk by pushing control out• Value creation increases at the edge• Decentralize authority, process, and IP• Transparency creates value• Truth travels fast• Price alone is not sustainable• Reengineer your value chain
– Skip intermediaries wherever possible
• Reinvent your business models• Change the status quo
