Tech lead: Location is personal!

Context is the crux: With several location enabled apps, the focus is now to enrich user experience by creating context to location. Dennis Crowly of Foursquare says, “Twitter is like ‘present tense’ service but the real story can be built with the history of it. The challenge to technologists is to create social context, to be able to tell people where they need to go and that is of utmost interest.” Enumerating this aspect, Mok Oh, Chief Innovation Officer, WHERE Inc says that there was a time when ‘where’ function was :

Where x, y, z represented the coordinates on earth and t is time. But today, location is associated with several other attributes and contexts and it is best described as :

Turning to proliferating location enabled applications, Jack Dangermond says, “Social media and real time feeds are part of real time maps. They are creating interesting opportunities and challenges at the same time. The future of GIS will be strong in providing a platform for maps and apps.”Multimedia content: After enabling location and adding lot of context to it, developers are looking to create multimedia content with audio and video enablement. To enrich this experience, apps are being made more interactive as well.

#INprenedors quanta SAVIESA innovant a l’empresa … “HACKEJANT el sistema des de baix”

http://bit.ly/lsIgfa  @eoi #in

Prenc la llibertat d’extreure algunes notes per fer entrar les ganes de llegir el document complert, val la pena. Tant de bo es llanc??s un programa per educar i promocionar el concepte des de l’escola :

“… qu?? ??s un INprenedor dins d???una empresa? Tots els que ens considerem INprenedors, d???alguna manera, ens hem sentit una mica revolucionaris, una mica bandolers dins de la nostra organitzaci??. No acceptem les coses tal com s??n i intentem canviar-les i utilitzem, per a aix??, t??cniques de guerrilla: la tenacitat, la sorpresa, la ???invisibilitat??? en molts casos …”

Hi havia un programa a TV3 amb el Capit?? Enciam que deia : “els petits canvis s??n poderosos ! ” o en el cap??tol 12 : “HACKEJANT el sistema des de baix : canviar les coses sense prendre el poder” :

Els hacks s??n el resultat d???una ment creativa que s???enfronta a un problema ent??s com a repte intel??lectual, i acostumen a produir-se en condicions de necessitat o de joc … Per a una ment creativa, la motivaci?? intr??nseca que desferma un hack ??s diversos ordres de magnitud m??s reconfor- tant que la motivaci?? extr??nseca, basada en diners o cotes de poder m??s elevades.

I una reflexi?? for??a interessant : Sense prendre el poder 

Per qu?? sense prendre el poder? Perqu??, com pensa Holloway, cap de les presumptes vies per canviar les coses a trav??s de la presa del poder (revolucion??ries o reformistes, segons la tradici?? marxista) ha tingut ??xit i han ocasionat precisament tot el contrari, la repetici?? de les mateixes estructures de poder, amb l???agreujant de la tensi?? provocada pel propi canvi. Cruel??ssims eufemismes hist??rics com la ???Revoluci?? Cultural??? de Mao Tse Tung s??n manuals d???aix?? mateix. Sense posar-nos tan dram??tics, ??s f??cil recordar antics companys amb ganes de canviar la b??stia organitzativa des de dintre (reformisme), que acaben sent un ressort m??s de la seva gran maquin??ria, o que, creant noves iniciatives o empreses (revo- luci??) amb lloables intencions inicials, cauen de nou en tot all?? que van voler evitar.”

Llegiu el document. Hi ha tamb?? una versi?? en castell?? http://bit.ly/guCzf7

The future is CO-operation CO-creation CO-ordination … more from @acornella in www.co-society.com

OUR STORY

co-society project : “The future is co- Collaboration, co-creation, coordination, combined skills to generate hybrid projects: beyond ???open innovation???, the future is about multiplying the capacity of businesses so that new products and services can emerge and stimulate a new economic force of energy. This is the focus for Infonomia???s launch of the Co-Society project.”
It looks like a natural path : for ‘digital natives’ CO- is something embedded in their gens, it will become their natural way to think. Our children have changed radically, “There is a big discontinuity” as Marc Prensky explains in his document “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants” http://bit.ly/Cdgmv
Such discontinuity will require much more innovation and such innovation will require a complete different inference, projects like co-society is an example.
