“Rupert Murdoch has it backwards. You don’t charge the search engines to send people to articles on your site, you pay them. If you can’t make money from attention, you should do something else for a living. Charging money for attention gets you neither money nor attention.”

- Seth’s Blog: Rupert Murdoch has it backwards

SPOT ON! Seth Godin, the “nail it in one paragraph” master. What really is needed for many biz sectors in disrpution is the generic activity: Business Model Innovation. Take it from one of the epicentres of processing exactly that. Innovating new business models - http://businessmodelgeneration.com - where you have a workshop format orbiting nine nice central elements of a viable business model.

“Any great big company that wants to have an entrepreneurial climate needs a DJ”.

Sara Öhrvall @saraohrvall, Head of R&D Bonnier @bonnier_rd, from GoodMorning2019, the 10-year celebration of SSES - Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship. After delivering seven principles on fostering intrapreneurship in a big (media) corporation - last one “put on a t-shirt!”, punch line beyond; what’s needed - the DJ! You guess why I share this slide ;).

Today the third day of Internetdagarna. Focusing the Internet of Things. Towards the X2X world - all things connected to everything else. Whatever2Whatever. And the part of the (mobile) web that is social: P2P - peer to peer. You, me, and everyone else. When the micro pings to your cellphone instead of out loud from the kitchen? You tell.

How to tailor social media applications to your business - Holy Kaw!:

“If you are a large business or a small business looking to build relationships with connected, influential people—you shouldn’t be asking yourself whether or not you should use social media, but rather, how you will use it and for what purposes. This is the tricky part. But worry not—here are ten tried and true applications of social media that work. This is not a marketing strategy, but a springboard to get you thinking creatively about how to make social media tactics work for your unique business.”

VIDEO: @Jyri Engeström - The real time era is here. Now what? | #Disruptive Media (w/ my streamQ answered #GoogleWave vs #SalmonProtocol):

Here is one of the strongest stars on stage on the #realconf arranged by #disruptivemedia October 20, yesterday - the Really Realtime Conference. The first video is up. After his speech I started to wonder about Salmon Protocol - “the convos swimming upstreams” about unifying distributed conversations on the web, and this change of the web convos driven by innovations, and added a “vs Google Wave” to my question. My tweeted question was:

“QUESTION FOR @jyri: Google Wave vs Salmon? The small worlds vs the open big world conversation how-to changers? What will happen? #realconf”

You find the answer at 43:30 in the video. I will blog about that and quote some of his “evangelism” in general, that together with Stowe Boyd made my day yesterday! Have not seen all presis, will blog more when all videos are up and seen :).

From Seth Godin's Blog: "Notice me"

From Seth Godin's Blog: "Notice me":

I qoute it, straight away.

“If the new web has a mantra, that’s it. So much time and effort is now put into finding followers, accumulating comments and generating controversy… all so that people will notice you. People say and do things that don’t benefit them, just because they’re hooked on attention. Attention is fine, as long as you have a goal that is reached in exchange for all this effort. Far better than being noticed:

Trusted
Engaged with
Purchased from
Discussed
Echoed
Teaching us
Leading”

So to the point - do you converse?
