What is Innovation in Web 2.0 for Six Apart? Stéphane Delbecque answers that question
12,octobre 2008
The Montreal Marketing Association First Conference that took place on October 8, 2008 on Innovation in Web 2.0 showcased four speakers prolific in their respective area of specialization. Hugh McGuire from Librivox broke the ice and presented the audio books community, then Stéphane Delbecque from Six Apart spoke about mobile and blogging technologies, Robyn Tippins from the Yahoo! Developer Network spoke about the application ecosystem and the openness around Yahoo! and the broad reach of the developer Network. Austin Hill  presented his innovative new reality-based startup Akoha.
Attendees feedback seem to all go in the same direction: ”That conference really was interesting, with diverse content and perspectives”. Whether the type of innovation that was forcasted was useful to certain attendees or not, all depends on the business they are in. Some attendees come from a more traditional enterprise background and some from 2.0 firms.

Stéphane Delbecque gracefully presented the type of Innovation that is put forward at Six Apart: ”Openness and Mobility”.
In his own words:
Web 2.0 is a deep change in the way internet users interact with each others, services, content and media. For the first time, people have the ability to express themselves and get their voice heard. This revolution resulted in acceleration in innovation, gave tools to anyone who’d want to build something and opened new opportunities for companies that would embrace it. For two guys and a dog in a garage, as well as companies such as Six Apart, innovation in Web 2.0 enlightened a strong need for openness (i.e. with OpenID and APIs) and took the form of a new vehicle, the mobile phone, which is the perfect tool for creating, consulting and sharing with friends, family and online services.
Twitter: le grand bond du printemps?
1,avril 2008
Alors voici donc en comparant le taux de rétention en nombre de minutes, on voit le bond printanier qui arrive juste au mois de mars. Théorie ou réalité? Prédilection? Il faudrait voir dans les autres outils, voir ce qu’ils disent. Mais en tout cas, ça gazouille sur Twitter ces temps-ci.
Le graphique de croissance du nombre d’utilisateurs:
Le “Twittering” un outil plus conversationel que les blogs ?
Merci à Olivier de life2front.com qui m’a fait découvrir cet article intéressant sur la montée de Twitter comme outil de conversation, prenant d’assault le Web en terme de popularité versus les plateformes de blogs, mieux connu sous l’appellation Microblogging. Le niveau de messages publiés sur Twitter avait des allures d’explosion sociale purement démocratique. Les twitters s’offusquaient du vide de l’interview: les vraies questions n’étant pas ou peu abordées… Un commentaire hué par un membre du public “Beacons sucks” témoigne de cette rage qui s’emparait de la foule. En bref, ce que cette vidéo de Nazgul témoigne.
Niveau de twits pendant l’entrevue:
Tout comme Michelle Blanc qui
semble dire que le Twittering vient avec le printemps , j’ai recommencé
à Twitter…
Moi sur Twitter en train de faire du twittering printannier… C’est à se demander si je Twitterai cet été. Et les oiseaux, eux, ils chantent quand?
