So what is happening now?

Lots of people are talking

about... Real-time streams,

Real-time search,

Real-time expectations.

why?

19% of internet

users now say they use Twitter

or another service to share

updates about themselves,

or to see updates about others.

27.3 million tweets

per day with an annual run

rate of 10 billion tweets

40 million Facebook

status updates a day from a

350 million-plus audience.

Technology means we’ve never

been more aware that there’s a

lot of things happening now.

And we’re actively contributing

People using technology to share what they do, buy, think, and watch“live-streams”

...creating more and more information.How are we dealing with it?

No, it’s not a joke. “The GScreen Spacebook was designed to help you get more done in a mobile environment”

?Maybe not...

More seriously,

Real-time search.

we’re looking to practically integrate the increasing infomation overload into our lives via technology filters like

? "Phantom vibration syndrome."

— the feeling when you answer your

vibrating mobile, only to find it

never vibrated at all. (Neuroplasticity)

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

How are people already approaching real-time search?

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

o “We don’t know enough about what kinds of queries people would issue against real-time data to know how monetizable it is.” Marissa Mayer, Google

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 40.55% of the tweets are phatic

o 37.55% are conversational

o 8.7% have "pass along value"

o 5.85% are self-promotional

o 3.75% are spam

o 3.6% are news.

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.

And people are exploring new(ish) tools

Mentionmap maps the topicsof 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 resultse.g. If you search for “snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you’ll 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 SAP’s Gravity.

o Enable groups of people to collaborate on projects without the cost or infrastructure investment of a Sharepoint-type solution.

Sources: Top 15 Technology trends for Enterprise Architects to watch, Forrester; Google

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.

* Destination always implied a

finite end without next steps,

a bit like the term “end-user”

Time sensitive offers designed for life-streams o Integrated into real-time experience with a sense of NOW.

o Urgency because traditional marketing campaigns (like TV progs) now can be filtered and time shifted (and even forgotten as our content collection piles up).

NB: Facebook have changed the rules...again.

“The next phase of media, I’ve been thinking, will be after the page and after the site. Media can’t expect us to go to it all the time. Media has to come to us. Media must insinuate itself into our streams.”

Jeff Jarvis

Real-time eCommerce

o As retailers move closer to real-time inventory management, it increases the possibility of more widespread dynamic demand led pricing.

o Consumers can be alerted about price changes as they happen.

o They can even group together to negotiate bulk discounts.

What does it means for the site owners?

More time on site but fewer page views.

Advertising analytics nightmare.8 hours = 1 pageview but 100’s of opportunities to see an ad? How can you tell which story in the stream was read and which was missed?

Decreased server costs with fewer page refreshes and DB calls as sites move from polling to real-time push.

Source: Ted Roden New York Times

If you tap into a “live-stream” of first or second hand experiences and thoughts, how can control the flow and tell

what is relevant?

Semantic personalisation of content -

filtering and showing only what is

relevant to you.

“The semantic web provides a

common framework that allows data

to be shared and reused across

application, enterprise and

community boundaries” (W3C). Recognise that the stream is

still data and “data is not the

truth” or insight.

MOST RECENT ≠ MOST MEANINGFUL

Don’t get hijacked by vocal

minority or “overly concerned”.

Content is rapidly pushed down the stream by

4,000 articles/videos a day.“Low quality”, high search visibility “farmed” content.

Source: Richard MacManus, RRW

Lots of people, saying lots of different things, all expecting a response, now. They’re waiting. How do you deal with

expectation culture?

Social business design,

a new business structure where customer

feedback is connected to business

processes “like a real-time focus group

combining technology, data and people”.

No compartmentalism of digital or PR,

advertising is about participating and

marketing is about designing products,

services and experiences.

CMO

Customer participation and design

Customer operations

Customer listening

Every action, launch etc. will create a

instant and visible digital reaction.

o PR needs to develop “public

relationships” in rapid response to

dialogue not just manage news outlets.

o Integrated into client organisations

as a combined communications and

customer relationship/service role?Domino’s Pizza anyone?

Real-time has only limited applicability to someone sitting at a desk in front of a computer beyond news and dialogue,

where is the real benefit?

These sensors, technologies and devices are helping brands move from messaging to

digitally-enabled, increasingly live, real-world experiences.

The shift to digital experiences enables more shared “watercooler” moments...

...access to “exclusive” live events...

...and even the feeling of live and unfiltered brand engagement or consumer control.

Real, live experiences and engagement

beyond advertising.

Real relationships and relevant information at the speed of now. &

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 what’s 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 we’ll 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

“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.*

What is Crowdsourcing?

“The Trouble with of Crowdsourcing”

How do you keep a secret when someone’s life depends on it?

a digression

“I find the term ‘crowdsourcing’ incredibly irritating. Any company that thinks it’s 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. That’s just crazy. It disrespects the people. It’s 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...

...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

Collaborative Platforms...

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 throughmanipulation.(and yet another photo upload competition.)

Crowdsourcing support and marketing in return for low prices.

Crowdsourcing where a Streetview car can’t go. low prices.

Channeling your global fans’ passion to be part of something
