Getting Close to the Customer: Quantitative vs. Qualitative Approaches
http://knowl edge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/971.cfm

After adapting information technology to develop ever more sophisticated research methods, marketers are taking a second look at more human, qualitative approaches to tapping into the hearts and minds of consumers. As one Wharton marketing professor says: "We can put each customer's order on a microchip, but as far as having a sense of what's inside making him tick," the answers remain elusive. He and others suggest that companies use both qualitative methods - such as data mining - and quantitative methods, ranging from "concept banks" to "brand communities" to customer advisory boards, always keeping in mind the cost effectiveness of these varied approaches.

Thinking local

Thinking local 08/15/2004 09:21 PM

I'm sitting here in Gramd Haven, MI - thinking abotu how cyberspace needs ot hit meatspace. MeetUp does it well and so does Dodgeball, but when I hear about new services like StepUp.com - I get real excited.

The UPS store is across the street - and I stopped by and asked them about AuctionDrop.com. They hadn't heard of it - yet. But they liked the idea.

As John Battelle says:

I thought it'd be really cool if we started a website where local merchants could list their wares, so folks could check to see if a local business had what they were looking for before going down to the store. We decided against the business, but I've remained fascinated by this concept. It just seems to make sense, that at some point you will be able to check into the inventory of your local stores to see if what you want is there, and even reserve it or have it delivered to you.

John's talking about a real-world solution who's day has come.....

But I gotta wonder if subjects like this will get discussed at the upcoming Web 2.0 conference. Judging by the list of speakers - I doubt it. It's just more of the same - sort of like the BlogOn conference.

It was ludicrous - Yahoo, AOL and CNet telling us about teh future. Give me a break!

Sure - Cory will get up and holler aboput [insert complaint du jour] and Danger Mouse will hopefully keep it real - but I just gotta wonder what John Doerr has to say - for the upteenth time. Or Mary Meeker. Sounds exicting.

Anyway I'm sure the folks putting on Web 2.0 have the best intentions, and they certainly got the buzzword du jour - by the horns.

But without cutting edge entrepreneurs taking risks, what's the point? And I don't mean T'rati, 6A or Craigslist. They've had their day in the sun.

How 'bout a panel with developers who are broke, have kickass services and products and need funding? What a concept.

But anyway - back to local services. The FEDEX and UPS stores solved integration and aggregation issues for humans - for packaging and shipping. The merger with Kinkos was brilliant for FEDEX. Kinkos has been solving the copying/printing activity for humans for years.

Software needs to solve real world problems and wrap it into 'activity based' solutions. By combining eVite functionality, with WinAmp, Guestbook and Blogging features - coolio integrated parties could be born - spontaneously. Sounds like a meatpsace solutionf or Dodgeball.

Thinking outside the TV box
(USATODAY.com) 06/22/2004 06:12 AM
USATODAY.com - With TiVo's fast-forward, viewers' shrinking attention spans and new media choices, the 30-second TV ad has more rivals for consumers' attention. That is pushing marketers' thinking increasingly outside the TV box for ways to make the costly but still dominant commercial work harder.

“Worms and viruses are everywhere, but hardly a one for Linux. Only a handful of Linux malware has ever been released in the wild. While the Lion (2001), Ramen (2001) and Slapper (2002) worms and the Bliss virus (1997) presented problems for Linux users, they weren’t nearly as crippling as the worst Windows malware. So, should Linux users brush off concerns about malware plagues? Short answer: No.”

Adventures in Thinking

Adventures in Thinking 12/19/2004 03:41 PM
Two new articles on big thinkers have turned up. First is an Investor's Business Daily article on Alan Turing's life and imagination. It covers some of the historical aspects of his life as well as touching on cryptography, artificial intelligence, robotics, and brain-mind metaphysics. The summary of Turing's life also conveniently leaves out the more controversial bits and the cause of his death. For a more complete look at Turing's life, see the Wikipedia article. A more recent thinker on similar problems, Ray Kurzweil, is intereviewed by DevSource. Kruzweil discusses reverse-engineering the brain, embedded intelligence, and even has a comment or two about synthesizers.

Thinking of the turtles

Thinking of the turtles 01/25/2004 04:12 PM

It's continuing to be bitterly cold here in NYC (8° F this morning with -6° F windchill) and so my thoughts have turned to tropical climates and other seasons. And I started thinking about my trip to Hawaii in 2000 and when we went snokeling and swam with turtles. So I poked around and found my two favorite pictures from that experience, both taken by Jason. Here's me swimming behind the turtle, going too deep and here's another of me and a turtle closer to the surface. [sigh] Hawaii sure was swell and those turtles sure were cute.

Old wireless thinking

Old wireless thinking 02/19/2004 10:00 AM
This Washington Post story about new wireless services is a great example of old telecom thinking.  Everything depends on the carriers, and when they upgrade their networks.  WiFi hotspots and other forms of unlicensed connectivity remove that bottleneck -- along with the additional charges the carriers want to load on for the whizbang new services.  That's why incorporating WiFi (and ultimately software radios) into mobile handsets is such a significant development.

Thinking About A Google IPO

Thinking About A Google IPO 04/13/2004 01:51 AM
James Cramer has written up a great column summarizing many of the points (much more concisely) that I've been trying to make to people who ask me about the potential of a Google IPO. The company is (despite it's incredibly secretive nature) clearly doing quite well and is probably a worthwhile investment - if and only if you can get it at the initial offering price - which is unlikely to happen. As Cramer points out, the demand for Google stock is much larger than any other IPO. Everyone seems to want in on this deal, partly due to the Google phenomenon, and partly due to the lack of big time IPOs in years. This explains how people who should know better were conned into buying non-existent shares in the company. It also sets up the perfect environment for flippers. The big time institutional investors are going to get first crack at the shares (at the price the bankers set the IPO at), and will quickly try to flip the stock on the open market, where people who don't know any better will snap up the shares at two, three or even more times its initial public offering price. What Cramer leaves out, of course, is that plenty of people who simply don't understand investing will think it's a good thing that the stock jumps up so much on its first day of trading when all it really means is that (a) the company left money on the table and (b) there are a lot of silly investors out there who don't understand how to value a stock.

Speaking of Camino...If you are thinking about grabbing the 20030310 build of Camino, don't. It's crash-a-rific and I'm almost positive it has to do with the flash plug-in. I've already sent in 5 talkback reports today. Just stick with .7 for now. I only mention this because the nightly builds from .6 to .7 were almost always as stable as the point release and the dev guys even advocated grabbing a nightly build in the time between .6 and .7 to fix (among other things) a flash issue. Yes, I'm fully aware that nightly builds are meant for testing purposes only, they might shred your data, people can and do lose money! I'm just sayin'...
