Talk: Languages on the Internet at Google

[fr]

Demain, je donne une conférence à Google sur le thème du traitement des langues sur internet.

Tomorrow 2pm I’ll be giving a talk at Google (thanks for the invitation, Kevin) about languages on the internet. It will be an updated version of the “While We Wait For The Babel Fish” talk I gave at reboot a month or so ago. For details, click on the poster Kevin made:

Reboot9 — Marko Ahtisaari: Attention! On the Near Future of Marketing

Here are my notes, unedited and possibly misleading, blah blah blah, of the Reboot9 conference.

Blyk. Open marketing. Not pushing Blyk, but this is the example he knows best.

  1. Interruption culture
  2. Traditional marketing/media
  3. Software as service
  4. Small advertisers
  5. Interruption vs. conversation
  6. Open marketing

Marko Ahtisaari

steph-note: didn’t get the last ones

Is media a unique place to interrupt? How about interruptions in conversations? Linda Stone anecdote with crackberries: checking e-mail all the time, then want to go to the bedroom and have sex immediately. (Their wives’ points of view: not really.)

Traditional media is funded by a mixture of models. The mainstream media is starting to acknowledge the conversation (cf. Time’s person of the year.)

steph-note: je décroche… and some code-switching in there while we’re at it.

Service marketing: if the service itself is interesting, people will talk about it. If possible, make your product or service distributable (open distribution).

Use of mobile phones by teens:

  1. look at the clock
  2. text
  3. call

steph-note: sorry, real crappy notes.
