It’s now been a bit more than a month that I have relocated to London. Now that I have settled in, it’s time to participate more in the incredible UK ecosystem.
It starts tomorrow. I feel really honored to speak at Digital London, a new conference that has been hitting all the right notes in its organization. Just look at the speaker’s roaster and the various tracks [PDF]. I’m really looking forward to it.
Here’s Adam Malik and me talking a bit about the changes that digital is bringing to businesses. Think of it as a teaser to my talk on Wednesday, March 13, in which I’ll focus a bit more on why mobile is the gateway to the so-called ‘consumerization of IT’ trend, and more generally, on what I like to call the rise of context.
My colleague and friend, R “Ray” Wang will talk tomorrow morning about ‘The Future of Digital Solutions, Content & Services’. You will have to catch him for me as I will be chairing the Innovation, Technologies & Platform track at the same time with Matt Brittin from Google, Anastassia Lauterbach from Qualcomm, Dave Tansley from Deloitte and David King from Logica.
On Wednesday morning, I’ll be chairing the ‘Digital & Technology Futures’ track with Stephen Bates from RIM, Dr. Mike Short from IET, Niall Murphy from Evrythng, Benjamin Woo from IDC and two ExactTarget fellow, Phil Cool and Andrew Chothia.
In the afternoon, I’ll be speaking during the ‘Next Generation Innovation’ track. From digital commerce to mobility, I think I’ll feel at home in there.
The title of my presentation? ‘The Next Generation Customer Experience’.
You can still register if you want to see us.

Brands have personas. Brands have a past, a present and a future. At its essence, branding is about storytelling. The Timeline experience was made for them.

Those who went into journalism in the ‘50s or ‘60s wanted to save the world. They now only want to save themselves. And kill the startup star.

Are online consumers really that different from those who watch television? Instinctively, we tend to say yes. But it’s not because someone if offered new tools that he becomes an entire different persona.

In a world where inputting URLs does not matter as much as it used to, .co becomes a naturally shortened .com.

Consumer behavior and, in some respects, socializing behavior, have seen changes, changes that brands must obviously analyze, but human-rooted behaviors have not. At least, not as much as people want to believe. We’ll see what the audience thinks tomorrow.

SXSW Interactive is in only two days. I can’t wait to be there. And no, it’s not the tons of paper used to print all the invites that gives me excitement. It’s the fact that Japan will be a highlight of the Festival. In 2010, I was lamenting that no interactive panel seemed to be [...]

As I’m starting my December tour of Europe -I’m currently on lay-over at the Athens airport-, I wished to point out an event that was not on my map when I started planning it. I was recently invited to attend the Monitoring Social Media Paris 2010 day, on December 10 in the French capital. It will be [...]

Twitter calls it a “better Twitter“. The Twitteratis call it #newtwitter. Whatever you want to call it, the redesign that was unveiled yesterday is a big departure from the simple stream we’ve been used to since the microblog’s inception. Now, I’ve always argued that adding features was not the prime concern when looking at a [...]

I’m not perfect, but I’m almost there. I was thirteen. This is what was written on a keychain my German class teacher offered me after I rushed a print job of the class log on my dot matrix printer in the wee hours of the morning, while I could have done it way before. Paul [...]
