Are You Ready For A Seamless World?
As I was driving to pick up my son from school the other day, I noticed I was running late, so I used Google Now to text him and tell him I was running late. It was probably more dangerous than actually texting – the voice command to say “text so-and-so” worked great, but when […]

Is Innovation Second Fiddle In Your Organization?
Stop for a second and think about innovation at your company. Look around you. Where is your focus? What’s your top-of-mind?

These Wearables Are Shocking
At the Glazed conference a few months ago, we were all told that the lifespan of the use of wearable devices was much, much shorter than say the lifespan of use of our smartphones. I think speaker after speaker mentioned something like 90 days to 9 months, then our wearables sit in a box, unused. (Personally, I’ve […]

What’s Your Least Popular?

Online Reputation: Hot Or Not?
A few years ago, I envisioned an online reputation service like this one – thinking that at some point, for some people, anonymity would be less and less important. That being a known quantity, being someone with an excellent reputation, would have to extend to one’s online presence. The idea was that someone like an […]
