There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.

I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.

Real-time search.

What is so different about real-time search v. normal search?

o Relevancy is important, but timeliness
is the essential part.

o It is getting an idea of what people are

talking about or interested in now.

o The potential is to combine:

on-the-spot peer reviews recommendations discovery offers and time sensitive calls to action social media connections/referrals instant information updates.

How are people already approaching real-time search?

o Bing & Google are already working on
integrating Twitter into their search results.

o We dont know enough about what kinds of

queries people would issue against real-time data to know how monetizable it is. Marissa Mayer, Google

And people are exploring new(ish) tools Mentionmap maps the topics of conversation heating up in your social graph.

Practical approaches to search and other real-time trends...

Temporal cues in your search query determine the relevance of time and change the priority of your results
e.g. If you search for snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, youll find updates from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.

Real-time online collaboration o A Business benefit of the real-time trend. o Part of the shift from batch analytics
and waterfall processes, to real-time analytics and agile processes.

o Using Google Wave and add-ons

like SAPs Gravity.

o Enable groups of people to

collaborate on projects without the cost or infrastructure investment of a Sharepoint-type solution.

Real-time customer service

o Visible staff involvement in problem resolution. o Reacting and responding to questions and issues quickly and transparently, #twelpforce: 13,000 queries in the first two months. o Engaging in real human conversations.

What could

mean for

our clients?

o Audiences are mobile we need to widen digital touch points and become the enabler & filter for people,
- Help them now and help them plan for what they are doing next.

o To do this will require moving beyond a website-centric model to a distributed platform.

- Enable customers to engage in the channel they prefer/have available and track them through fragmented journeys with a single identity - Serve only whats relevant in current need state and location

o Customer feedback will be dynamic and real time the crowd will express what it wants through its behaviour as well as communicating preferences and views.

- An open source approach should be considered, tailoring our propositions (function and content) to needs and feedback in real time

o Social CRM combining social listening tools with CRM systems tied back to company data to track influencer financial value and help us respond to their needs faster.

o Customers will automatically connect with people they have something in common with, experiences are logged and shared automatically, so well need to only serve up relevant content for people to make better decisions.
- Personalise and aggregate their offers and promotions as part of shopping experience, make it easier for them to share a good deal and not to miss out - Deal expiry alerts in their streams, use networks to share trackable offer codes

o If everything is connected then there are increased engagement opportunities: but we need to design accordingly and appropriately. o Can we extend communications to packaging/POS giving them a layer of digital information or utility? o The increase in digital noise for people will mean that our brand will have a key role to carry the relationship.
- Hard to compete for share of attention - Human reaction to mask out noise - We need to help them by making sure all interactions and communications have the value exchange firmly in their favour

You send customers to other websites. You measure how many people refer their friends to you as success (Net Promoter Score). When budgets get tightened, you tighten operational costs. Your only customer service policy is to do right by the customer. Your customers are doing things with your product you never dreamed and are posting videos. Active influencers are adding you as friends on social networks. You work with your competitors towards better customer experiences for all. You know you compete for your customers attention with everyone.

Crowdsourcing is a neologism for the act of taking tasks traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, and outsourcing them to a group of people or community, through an open call to a large group of people (a crowd) asking for contributions...The term has become popular with businesses, authors, and journalists as shorthand for the trend of leveraging the mass collaboration enabled by Web 2.0 technologies to achieve business goals.*

*Definition Crowdsourced from Wikipedia

One view of crowdsourcing success.

Company has a problem.

Company broadcasts problem online.

Crowd asked to give solutions.

Crowd submits their solutions.

Crowd vets the solutions, company gains advertising.

Company rewards the winners and gains PR.

Company owns winning (and non-winning) solutions.

Company profits from increased profile and IP .

The Trouble with of Crowdsourcing How do you keep a secret when someones life depends on it?

I find the term crowdsourcing incredibly irritating. Any company that thinks its going to build a site by outsourcing all the work to its users not only disrespects the users but completely misunderstands what it should be doing. Your job is to provide a structure for your users to collaborate, and that takes a lot of work.

One of my rants is against the term crowdsourcing, which I think is a vile, vile way of looking at that world. This idea that a good business model is to get the public to do your work for free. Thats just crazy. It disrespects the people. Its like you're trying to trick them into doing work for free. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia

Wikipedia is not a crowd, it is a community a dedicated group of a few hundred volunteers.

A platform for collaboration...

Collaborative Platforms...
...thrive when reputation (of participants) is a critical component of the service mechanism. The reputation of participants will derive from the quantity (how much, how often) and quality (how useful) of their contributions. Accreditation (of content) is provided by experts and by the community. Recent, relevant content regarded highly by participants with a good reputation becomes the most visible.

Made by Many

Be an advocate of

them

, so they become advocates of

you

These crowdsourcing platforms can engage fans or create fans through discussion or consumer collaboration

but people can see through manipulation.

(and yet another photo upload competition.)

Crowdsourcing support and marketing in return for low prices.

Crowdsourcing where a Streetview car cant go. low prices.

Channeling your global fans passion to be part of something larger and more engaging.
