More Augmented Reality reality...

I'm putting my money down on augmented reality as the next 'big thing'
key is to get it right (and scalable) first...

Is busy at the moment - so apologies for the lower frequency of posts.

Some people are so creative, and sometimes, it's the simplest ideas that work so well!

Being followed on twitter

There is much speculation, and indeed many 'professionals' throwing in their 2 cents worth, around how twitter could actually turn itself into a viable, revenue generating, business.
But nowhere have I seen one specific observation. Sure, twitter is 'social' as far as social media goes, but it is by no means, at least in my experience with it, a social network. In the most case, I do not head to twitter to hook up with my mates, get their updates, and interact with them on twitter, no - that's what facebook's for, and that's what they do really well.
twitter rather, seems more of a place where I can connect with brands, companies, and publishers that interest me. It is the ultimate tool for COMPANIES to reach and communicate with their audience in a way that that is not overly intrusive because it fits well within the context of the site.
So twitter have done extremely well in creating a HIGH VALUE communication platform for companies that essentially, has enough value that these companies would be willing to pay for - but that ship has sailed. And you really can't get away from the chicken-egg-type-syndrome that most website publishers face which is audience (buyers) vs. content (sellers)
Hmmm....
