Andy Mitchell from Facebook  will join presenters at TV Goes Social!  I’ve started paying attention to new programing moves ! The Participatory aspect of The NEW TV Fascinates me as a creative, as a member of society as an entrepreneur! What’s Most interesting though is that we, as regular citizens have an opportunity to shape this by choosing to be active!

Don’t like the Programming on Television … Then create your own and share with friends family even others with similar interest and viewpoints… in your social networks- in real time as teh  show is aired! TV goes Social  Is More technical with presentations on some of teh aps and of course conversations on Monetization!

There is another aspect that  i’ve been seeing that of opportunities for muti-unit Real estate owners… who now can provide cable access as part of their pakage! Now whether that pans out to  advertising  commissions needs to be  seen! here a Brooklyn meeting about that!

“TV GOES SOCIAL” Conference – Thursday, June 23 Fordham Lincoln Center 60th & Columbus

CONFERENCE AGENDA:
1:00 – 1:50 The Social TV Platform: The New Hardware Options
New viewing devices, settop boxes and internet unifying services are adding a new dimension of utility to the TV.

2:00 – 2:40 Monetization – Software and Services That Promise Upside TV is at the heart of the advertising world – so new Social TV services and apps promise to attract major advertiser interest. See what they are, how they work and how you can take something off the trillion dollar TV ad market.

2:45 – 3:45 An App for That? The New Apps & Software
Facebook and Twitter are today’s social media options but they weren’t designed to synch with the TV watching experience. A new wave of purpose-built software and Apps promises to change all that!

4:00 – 5:15 The Vision – How The Social Viewer Will Experience TV
The pieces are coming online, programming executives and marketers have forged dramatic campaigns out of the Facebook and Twitter. But these are still intermediate, transitional steps compared to the new viewing interaction and audience marketing models that are about to emerge.

A while back one of my cousins got married and I watched with my sister across town who was on skyoe with my Mother in Trinidad… and as we dished and interacted I realized that teh “revolution’ was much closer than we expected!

This is much more than what we can do with video the above video is 59 minutes long and I watched every minute of it! The level of Storytelling, content and rich context is unparalleled … of course this is a world renowed filmmaker… but withing my communities are several extremely talented individuals… what would change if they were empowered! I’m attending two Social TV Events this week! One I pulled together to get start th e traction within local creative communities!

This will be about the content and what we as viewers WANT to experience… it will also touch on the new approaches to creation, as well as! we’ve all said it I can do a Better job… now we really can!Last  summer we tuned on the camera and started exploring what it will take… we had designers in Trindad, Brooklyn  and Nigeria on the other end… our focus was NOt purely teh Tv  Screen  (but creating  content that can online or onto teh  TV Screen!   Tomorrow we’ll talk about  those experiences! But we had Three individuals one with 10 years commercial experience , one with as many if not  more in Public TV  production and Designers themselves!  we really learned a lot from each other!  What makes content engaging and what  do You want to share… do you want to leave that up to a TV  producer!

I found this video today from an award winning  filmmaker & collector  who lost 40 years of collected items when a fire destroyed his home! He had a lot digitally documented… but his take in the situation his decision to take the opportunity to create a “Legacy video” was Inspirational! how many of us take the time to document our family histories or teh stories of people around us!

My Disaster Story: How To Overcome Hard Times … David Hoffman via You Tube
There are thousands of video to select online . So how do we choose… usually by accident or recommendation… I found this Via TED and a small link in the comments… and watched all 59 minutes! This film shows letting  go and celebrating and documenting legacies! Brilliantly  told by  award winning Filmmaker David Hoffman!

This defies “experts who claim that  web  viewers have short attention spans… I watch all 59 minutes and plan to again! But it is the storytelling in the  words of ordinary people and the stories of ordinary people, that  I find fascinating!

I believe in the ordinary people , I love the ordinary people, I’m comfortable with the ordinary people

And the ordinary people when you give them a chance, a fair amount of times, they’re are extraordinary

Social media is not  new it is  simply  digitized!! In that light I  look at  “old” practices within teh framework of new technology! I believe we are Not maximizing our tools… and distribution channels! A  friend once spoke to me of  a distribution model that has been  at teh back of my mind for a while…  messages were distributed to point men/women who each had a set  10 people to call… that ten would then call another ten! so 100 would get the message in a short time!  With technology the numbers are augmented and it’s not just the phone!  Collaborative distribution  allows for access to larger numbers…  It is a principle we are exploring with the design of Sony411 a magazine that positions itself as collaborative distribution platform!

Given that the  channels of distribution has changed  beyond email to with RSS, Kindle, E-book, pdf, web, Social media, twitter, Facebook! Tablets, mobile, Smartphone and the web…  does the  message or format  need to be changed to be effective!

The first issue of Sony411 is out!

We’re speaking  Social TV, Participation TV, Books Images, Group,  Social Commerce, TV, Film; the  technology and  how we see and use  them!

Many channels are now available  for the distribution of our message… and many including myself are overwhelmed! At A Mobile Camp a while back a film  producer  spoke on distributing  her feature  via a qr code on a tee shirt!  While most producers struggle  to get paid she  sold the Tee shirst …  made her money… while advertising!

I always remembered that …

How we communicate for please, business education is changing!

Doing More with Less by Design;

Culture + Creativity + Collaboration + Community = Commerce

A presentation moderated by Bonnie Sandy
at the Westin New York at Times Square (270 West 43rd Street) in the New Amsterdam Room:
8:00pm Tuesday, 11/17/2009

Details
Can the rate of adoption be affected by design? How does our perception of values affect the survival of tech products?

Designing product, sales and marketing to maximize results with less resources can help organizations cut costs and develop an extremely loyal customer base! Separate the facts from the hype and build what works!

Explore what is needed to serve and bridge a gaping (and potentially lucrative) digital divide.

DeMarketPlace is a virtual network & incubator, centered in Brooklyn, designed within the constraints of doing more with less! The goal was to create a methodology and model which, while identifying and testing tools that could be used, could easily be adapted in any country with whatever existing resources were available! Thus giving local businesses access to a Global Market, in the shortest time possible!
Show your support!

We will center the project on this site. However we have set up various installations so as to test the best options.Today we begin educting participants on a broader sense. Tomorrow we send out our foirst qr code Which will deliver messages that lead to various use scenarios. it would be easy to point to landing page but that defeats the purpose of codes.

CLick to Enlarge

At whichever points you encounter 2D codes. It is necessary to read or scan the image. Which is to say you take a picture of the image. The software then decodes the character embedded within the image.  when generating codes please decide if It is necessary sometime to embed code that directs the phone to take action that then ‘Hyperlinks’ the virtual, with the physical.  For example a 2d code could bookmark (save) a website url, or it can tell the phone to access the url … if it is accessible via a mobile browser. It can even take that action further directing a download of a video or audio file for example.

We have provided a list of code generators and scanners for those wanting to explore! To receive info on the project development and copies of codes simply subscribe via email to this (check extreme right column.)

We have received a lot of inquiries for many who have not seen the code in action as to exactly how it works. The challenge is that code are not just hanging around waiting to be scanned!

We are working to develop a holiday campaign, In the meantime We hope this helps.
