Social Evolution 2011

28 Jan
2011

Blog posts have been sparse of late.   New gig as a Strategic Planning practice lead for Ipsos-Open Thinking Exchange, baby daughter number two on the way (and now here!) and all the other things in life that keep one from scouring the web, have contributed to experiencefreak being pretty vacant with new thinking.

Though not blogging , I have been pulling together thinking and training in the digital space – content to help senior marketing and business folks understand the digital landscape.  Here’s an example of our latest long form work: Social Evolution: What’s Next For Social Media Marketing 2011. A collaboration with Graham Saxton, Ipsos Global Insights Director .

Share, steal.. and of course share-and-share alike.  Check out the Open Thinking Exchange blog at www.theopenexchange.org for more.

You gotta to love vintage Polaroids. You have to love them even more when they are taken by Andy Warhol. In this gallery (see link) by Flavorpill, you get a glimpse of Andy Warhol’s Polaroids. “My idea of a good picture is one that’s in focus and of a famous person,” said Warhol.

The rest of us may not define things quite that way.. but starting with Flickr, now with hipstamatic and instagram for the Iphone we certainly coudl rally around “My idea of a good picture is one that’s in focus and of a people I know and interesting things in my day”.

Check out the full gallery at http://www.danzigerprojects.com.

Stumbling upon or curating these must have been quite a find. Makes you wonder, as we look back at old photos, find old albums and take vintage portraits in hand..

How will people stumble into our photographic past?

Lady Gaga may not have the answer, but bizarrely enough she apparently does have some new ideas about you will photo document your present.. and she’s showing you at CES with Polaroid.

Every once in a great while a person (or firm) comes along that inspires you with the ease they take technical information, data and technology to create beautiful things. Stamen Design, ManyEyes and Jonathan Harris come to mind. Certainly architects have been doing this for eons and digital developers create such feats in incremental (sometimes fearless) ways everyday.

Some are bold about it. Check out Bestario. They look pretty fearless, if not visionary.

Here’s the low-down on their latest project:

Bestiario, a Barcelona Spain based start-up, has been exploring and inventing new interactive visualization paradigms over the past 5 years. The result of this effort is the creation of IMPURE.

Impure is a visual programming language aimed to gather, process and visualize information. With impure is possible to obtain information from very different sources; from user owned data to diverse feeds in internet, including social media data, real time or historical financial information, images, news, search queries and many more. Impure is a tool to be in touch with data around internet, to deeply understand it. Within a modular logic interface you can quickly link information to operators, controls and visualization methods, bringing all the power of the comprehension of information and knowledge to the not programmers that want to work with information in a professional way.
