skype technology video_conferencing time_management

  • Only 34% of Skype calls even use video. And when Skype announced on Jan. 5 at the Consumer Electronics Show that we'll soon have videophones on our televisions, everyone went right back to talking about which booths gave out the best key-chain lights.
  • That's because Skype breaks the century-old social contract of the phone: we pay close attention while we're talking and zone out while you are.
  • But Skype requires me to look at you while you're talking, which is totally ridiculous. The only sci-fi show that understood this was Star Trek. Bones and Jim would use their flip phones to talk quickly about beaming or health issues. The only time they'd fire up the videophone was when a Klingon was sitting in a spaceship 20 yards away with guns pointed at them.

  • people are not only uninterested in Skype, we're also not interested in talking on the regular phone. We want to TiVo our lives, avoiding real time by texting or e-mailing people when we feel like it. "Skype, which was the fantasy of our childhood, gets you back to sitting there and being available in that old-fashioned way. Our model of what it was to be present to each other, we thought we liked that," she said. "But it turns out that time shifting is our most valued product. This new technology is about control. Emotional control and time control."
  • Maybe all the stuff we thought we wanted in the future sucks. Flying cars would block our light, food pills would make Gordon Ramsey's screaming even more preposterous, and those moving sidewalks just give me another reason to hate fat people at airports. Far better is to have control over our most valuable commodity: time. Sure, we complain about being busy, but that's pretty great as long as we get to choose when we do things.

Little Love for the Mobile Web in App-Adoring World - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

  • What's more, phones will overtake PCs as the most common device to access the internet worldwide by 2013, according to a study from information-technology research company Gartner. So why are mobile sites taking a backseat to iPhone apps? Blame the Apple aura.
  • by presenting a user experience never before seen in mobile.
  • Apps can also use other hardware features on a phone, like its camera or compass, while mobile sites can only really tell where a user is located. Plus, with slow-load speeds, categories popular in apps, such as gaming, are not feasible on the web. Because an app runs offline, users don't have to worry about a slow or spotty network connection.

  • It remains to be seen how long the iPhone app addiction will last, but the mobile web -- what Mr. Outlaw calls "device-agnostic" since it works on any operating system -- will eventually break through when the iPhone buzz dies down and the consumer can get equally rich app experiences on non-Apple operating systems.
  • "App development is not easily scalable," said Mr. Outlaw. It's expensive and time-intensive to get apps on different phones.
  • iPhone's slice of the pie will shrink as more feature-phone users sign up for their first smart device.
  • Right now we're in the Age of the App, but as browsers become more sophisticated, mobile websites will be on the rise and users will barely be able to tell the difference between the app experience and the browser,"
  • "The mobile web will have to be addressed this year," said Mr. Ting. "If you don't have a mobile website up now, it's going to feel like the year 2000, when brands didn't have websites up."
  • Don't just re-create a PC website for mobile, but pare down content for exactly what consumers are looking for on that device. "When you're on the phone, it's a different context," he said. "Consumers are snacking on content; they don't want the full experience." Good mobile websites should feel like apps for consumers. New features like drop-down menus and expandable panels are expected soon. The little things, like a mobile site that redirects when a user taps in the web URL, will make mobile-web adoption smoother.
  • People don't care whether it is a web site or an application. All they care about is they can do "x" simply and pleasantly.
  • . All they care about is they can do "x" simply and pleasantly.
  • If you are trying to decide whether you should build an app or a mobile web site, you probably need to step back and think about a bigger problem - why you aren't able (or are unwilling) to build both.
  • With the release of HTML 5.0 developers will be able to take advantage of GPS, accelerometer, design, etc that will make mobile sites similar to apps in terms of functionality.
  • A game makes more sense on an app but a shopping site may find a happier home on the mobile web. This is because a mobile web developer has a choice of a number of online payment options for a limited fee. Where an iPhone developer must use iTunes and give up 30% of the revenue.
  • "mobile touch web" when deployed with the tools that HTML-5 promises to deliver will be the next important phase towards consuming content on demand and further penetration of location based services (including point of purchase)
  • Engagement may be measured by increased time per session, high frequency of sessions, interactions, and/or some combination thereof.

  • Whether published in ink or pixels, books are facing tough competition from updates, posts, and a blizzard of free, brief and ephemeral writings that distract eyeballs from the task of digesting 300 pages of text.
  • Book publishers may be hoping the iPad and other tablets will solve this problem, but I think such devices are only going to make things worse.
  • It’s a refuge from the distractions of the web, a quiet garden walled off from the web except to download a book.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • since the advent of the web reading has increased drastically and publishers are publishing more titles than ever. Merely looking at last year’s stats is poor reporting- last year the economy was in a deep recession and people weren’t buying. However, library use was up sharply. I don’t believe there is a future for printed volumes. It makes no sense economically. However, I do believe there is a book-like format that will survive because all the media you describe do not deliver long format information, including stories, well. Books are an immersion experience, not a skimming experience.

    "But notably, according to an informal survey of Kindle devotees, 59 percent of people who buy the e-readers are over 55. Meanwhile, as a NEA study pointed out two years ago, people under 25 were already doing most of their reading on the web, with only 7 minutes a day devoted to books."

  • The explosion of all types of video content on YouTube and other sites is quickly transforming online video from a medium strictly for entertainment and news into one that is also a reference tool. As a result, video search, on YouTube and across other sites, is rapidly morphing into a new entry point into the Web, one that could rival mainstream search for many types of queries.
  • And now YouTube, conceived as a video hosting and sharing site, has become a bona fide search tool. Searches on it in the United States recently edged out those on Yahoo, which had long been the No. 2 search engine, behind Google. (Google, incidentally, owns YouTube.) In November, Americans conducted nearly 2.8 billion searches on YouTube, about 200 million more than on Yahoo, according to comScore.

Driving Change: Selling SharePoint and Social Media Inside the Enterprise - ReadWriteWeb - 0 views

  • The point here is to take collaborative technology and apply it to processes that are routine and can be easily completed.
  • My personal experience has been that most people don't care what tool they are using, just as long as its easy, or easier then the way they had to do it before if that makes sense. And that most people don't want to change the way that they're doing things currently, even if its obviously easier, because currently = comfortable and change = scary.
  • knowledge management is about the people and their attitudes; it is about cooperation.
  • Writing a lot and reading a lot feels natural to us, but to many people it is a chore - so we end up being our wiki's sole active user.
  • You are not selling a tool. You are trying to help people work in a smarter and more efficient way.

    Though this article is written for the business sector, there are many great parallels with how we experience social media's acceptance in the educational realm. The suggestions that are given are readily applied to our setting, as well. In the enterprise, many employees think blogs are merely websites on which people talk about their cat or their latest meal. Many don't know the differences between and advantages of such tools as message boards, blogs, and wikis. They have heard of these terms in passing, but the demands of their day-to-day jobs have prevented them from recognizing the distinct benefits of each tool. Solution: It is useless to advocate for social media tools in a vacuum. Unless you're describing a solution to a practical problem, busy workers will not respond to buzzwords like "wiki," "blog," and "community." Your client usually has about a 30-second attention span in which you can sell a social media tool. An aide in my arsenal has been the excellent videos by Lee Lefever at Common Craft. Lee visually explains social media concepts "In Plain English." Common Craft videos quickly explain complex and sometimes unfamiliar technologies in a few minutes, sans the buzzwords, hype, and sensationalism. Problem: Cynical Clients Who Don't Want to Share Information Unfortunately, some potential SharePoint users balk at the technology because they have no desire to share their knowledge for the benefit of the organization. These individuals tend to equate their knowledge with job security; therefore, they feel nervous about sharing out of fear that they wouldn't be needed any more.

  • Asking students to discuss their classes in a very public forum has got to raise concerns for some people as well. Rankin says participation isn't required, but it's because of these kinds of concerns that private, education focused services like EdModo have a market. That closed communication comes at the expense of public knowledge sharing, but classroom innovators may not be able to have it both ways in the long term.
