A Frog in the Valley

Here is the outline for my presentation at Podcamp Montréal this saturday…

Second draft, getting better (better tought flow)!

The end is uncertain (and the future is always too far)

A few technology trends in context - By Sylvain Carle - Chief Geek @ Praized Media

• From broadcast to… narrowcast, selfcast, lifestream
• Content gets atomized… chunks, snack, bits, atom
• Platforms get distributed… cloud computing, software as service, web apps
• Content needs context : semantic, meta, machine tags, qrcodes
• Explosion of content means filters are needed : Some of the 5Ws. Who, Where, When
• Distributed platforms and content require distributed identity… OpenID, OAuth
• Data and content everywhere means… you need to easily move stuff around - data portability
• The 3Ws of the new www also require a shift from Documents to Messaging
• Mobile is *not* just another trend. This has the major 3W shift built in.
• Aggregation is the balancing act to distribution and disintermediation.
• Net Gain had this pretty much down to a science in… 1997. Hagel used to call them Virtual Communities, now it’s Social Media.
• New Rights for new models. Creative Commons. GPL3, Apache 2, Affero License. Data is the Intel Inside.
• New New models : open everything (hardware, science, knowledge, wealth? health?)
• The Global Village & Trust your Tribes.
