The Web 2.0 Strategy

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 by Michael Altendorf

I could really really recommend Prof Amy Shuens book “ Web 2.0: A strategy guide” by O’Reilly Media which came out last month. Best book on future business models and since Guy Kawasakis “The Art of the Start” and Shapiros book on network effects “Information Rules” . It really give great insights and and “How To” and “how not to do” in the digital space

 

Media Futurist @ PopAkademie

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 by Michael Altendorf

Yesterday the media Futurist and blogger, author, etc, Gerd Leonhard was at the PopAkademie in Mannheim and spoke about the future of music and the media business.

You could download his presentation @ http://www.mediafuturist.com/files/gerd_leonhard_at_popakademie_mannheim_print.pdf

It was a really cool presentation, although I already saw him at Cebit 08. At the Cebit it was a more general presentation on the future of media. At the PopAkademie he spoke more about the business business and about the marketperspective for artists, labels and the relevance of new business models.

To learn more about his view of the future music market. Download his book, it is for free:

In a nutshell: like in the radio: music is for free and the adverstisment gets more and more important to generate revenue for labels and artists. In additition a “feels like free” flateratemodel is also possible. But what he definitely denied was the itunes like a la carte download. This will not be possible in the future.

 

Today 95% are not paying for music and I could agree with him, a la carte download has no real future for the mass market as standalone. But for bundle with the broadband, mobile contract, isp etc i really would make sense to combine music offerings and hardware or network access. Good examples: Musicload/Dt Telekom – Arcor/Napster – Nokia/Comes with music etc. I think in other countries more examples could be found that bundles will coming up soon.

Gerd has most of the ideas in one of his videos, ppt or in his book! So i really recommend to read some of his writings!

The SPAM person arrives @ Facebook

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 by Michael Altendorf

After reading this satire magazine in 2004, which had a phenomenal title and outlook what’s coming soon…

Bernd Zeller a former gagwriter of Harald Schmidt was the author of this famous magazine. His new blog is online: http://www.darvins-illustrierte.de/

 

The first SPAM persons wanted to be connected with me. After a lot of bands want to be your friend on MySpace, now, also Facebook has a problem. Ok, sometimes the MySpace bands are like a manual recommendation system of last.fm and sometimes they are really good, but most of the time it is SPAM in your eMail inbox.

Now, this week it there were 2 persons which requested my friendship. The first one was a faked profil…that is really uninteresting but really funny was the second one. I asked who he is and he answered with a personal mail, that he found me in a group xyz and he wants to recommend to invest in oil :-) really cool and also he recommended (sure) a page where I could send my money to…

I think this problem will increase massively in the next years…Sorry, no good analysis on a public holiday. I only wanted to share that with you.

Sunday, May 18th, 2008 by Michael Altendorf

A really cool article on the digital native of Read Write Web

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/why_gen_y_is_going_to_change_the_web.php

After reading Generation X and born 1980 I am not included in Generation Y but also Digital Native. But about these things I already had some things in my mind and some blog posts in my old blog:

http://michaelaltendorf.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/web-20-and-generation-y-moves-in-the-companies/

http://michaelaltendorf.wordpress.com/2007/06/04/generation-y-or-x/

a nice Forrester slide on Gen Y which I build some time earlier:

http://michaelaltendorf.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/ways-to-describe-web-20-users-from-myself-and-forrester/

But after watching the short presentation of Sacha Chua I am not sure any more. But it’s very funny and definitely a thing to show my boss that this will be normal soon

at blip.tv you will find a video on SAP’s newest innovations. This is sooo cool and you haven’t seen such things before!!!

Quote: Preview of an SAP Netweaver innovation project in development:
Unexpected events disrupt structured business processes, e.g. the discontinuation of a manufacturing part by a supplier.
End users can build a situational composite application to address the need of their situation, add content from different sources, and invite co-workers and experts to resolve the problem.
Eventus captures the collective intelligence in a rich context, and provides actionable best practices.
