VidCon Soars-- is this the Champion New Tech Conference?

 

It’s a rare day when I encounter something that shatters some of my  long held opinions.

but that’s exactly what happened earlier this July after I saw the effects of the content of a trade show called VidCon, now in its fifth year.

Some background, I’m  not a fan of most video blogging content I see on Youtube or other websites.. I find much of it to be overly self centered and segments seldom incorporate a fundamental precept of film and videography, storytelling.

VidCon breaks with the traditional elementary school “show and tell” format of most contemporary curated conferences. First, it uses a format that actively engages its attendees, secondly it exposes them to pioneers of video blogging who are eager to pass on what has worked for themas well as industry luminaries. Finally, VidCon takes networking to a new level with in formal “meet and greet” sessions.VidCon is the brainchild of Hank and John Green, who produce and stream content on YouTube as the VlogBrothers.

What I like about VidCon is its mix of industry, creator and viewer tracks, which has helped make VidCon a sellout confab for the last several years. While most conferences struggle to attract and retain corporate sponsors, VidCon continues to book marquis backers like GoPro, Kia, Panasonic, Tumblr,Univision, YouTube and other companies.

With attendance this year at more than 19,500, VidCon may be on its way to Super Bowl like status among conferences.

VidCon absolutely made me change my views of video blogging, and forced me to understand that storytelling is critical to success in this medium. On my way home, I immediately made a couple of connections: one to the video story telling of public TV’s Huell howser. An dI had witnessed this success bedfore but on a smaller and equally vocal tech segment  in a crowded commercial market before, notably the Berkeley Macintosh User Group (BMUG) in the 1980s.

It also provided the call to action I needed to buy a new camera that includes built in editing software and to reacquaint myself with Apple’s iMovie software.

VidCon may be the best conference on video i’ve ever seen and I hope to be there next year, with a new video camera, a shot list and rough story notes.

Oh dear, maybe I should have gone to film school at Long Beach State or Figueroa Tech in Los Angeles.--Jim Forbes on August 6, 2015.

PBS Sets High Technology User Standard on Genealogy Roadshow

Apple may be the beneficiary of the best ever use of products on any broadcast television series.

DOn’t believe me? Turn your television on to a local PBS station on Tuesday nights and pay attention to a series called “Genealogy Roadshow.”

This PBS show about finding your roots and using publicly available and restricted documents to research ancestors features genealogists equipped with iPads and Macbook Air portables. If you watch it, pay close attention to the cast’s carefully styled and executed  pinches, expands and swipe gestures

Staffers at Apple’s company stores couldn't do a better job of showing off Apple's gesture technologies than the hosts of PBS’ Genealogy Roadshow.

Apple doesn't sponsor this show, and one of its producers confirmed what I noticed, Apple logos on tablets an notebooks used in the show are obscured.

TV Product placement for technology companies can be as difficult and  expensive. It’s definitely not something that MBA candidates learn on graduate schools’  cookie cutter entrepreneurial tracks. Getting a product visibly used on a TV show is much more complex than a VP of marketing or product manager calling an associate producer or Production Designer (who are in charge of setting up shooting locations) in Century City or Hollywood. Genealogy Roadshow is not sponsored by Apple, but it should be. I've never ever seen any television show highlight  technologies like this PBS series does tablet, display and portable computing technologies.

Product placement negotiations take time, and technology companies trying to get their technologies spotlighted may not understand the value of real estate on a theatrical or other set.

The best possible scenario appears to be what's happening on this series. producers. directors and other professionals use Apple hardware to seek out and explain family history to the show's guests.

In general, the specialized knowledge associated with product placements isn't part of the Silicon Valley marketing playbooks. That knowledge is found in Los Angeles and is costly. but in this case it appears that apple didn't pay anything to have its technologies used on the show.  Which is a huge coup for grandfather personal computer maker

there are two approaches that have been employed in product placement: Apple shows its current technology in appropriate settings: Microsoft, on the other hand, highlights mostly coming technologies in a way that captures the audience’s attention 

For an example compare Apple’s products on genealogy Roadshow with Microsoft's transparent display technology on CSI and Hawaii 5-0.

Today, Silicon Valley’s 5000-pound gorilla, Google, isn't engaged in this. but it’s only a matter of time before Hollywood jumps on the autonomous car bandwagon.

There are a lot of technologies that could be highlighted on PBS and commercial network shows. but the void  between “We need to do this” and getting it done may, for the moment, be completely missing from the skills found in Silicon Valley-- Jim Forbes, March 1, 2015

 

*** Note after receiving a comment on this post from a PBS Genealogy Roadshow staffer, I change d this postand its headline  to clarify that Apple does not supply hardware seen on TV.--jmf on 3/10/2015

 

A Thank You note: Chris Shipley, Best Ever Editorial Manager Sails on to MIT's Technology Review

Has  there ever been anyone in your life or career you’ve seen turn dreams into reality, while pulling kindred souls along on glorious adventures?

There is someone in my life that’s done exactly that and as I write this, she’s packing up her notebook, some basic files and clothing in preparation for a move back to Boston.

That person is a strawberry blond I met while working at a PC Week in the early Nineties. Her name is Chris Shipley and in a 40-year career, Chris is the best editor and editorial manager  I ever worked with as a colleague or worked for as a subordinate.

Shipley’s curriculum vitae is a shining example of leadership. She was an EIC of a Ziff Davis computer magazine aimed at consumers, most recently was a Fellow at the University of Missouri's Reynolds Journalism Institute. But most famously, Chris was the longest serving executive producer of the Demo technology launch pad events.

Chris and I joined paths twi: the first time at PCWeek where I worked in that publication’s west Coast Bureau and she worked at Headquarters in Boston, and later at Demo, where I was writing PCLetter before she was hired to be Demo’s Executive producer.

Chirs didn’t know that I was writing PCLetter until I arrived at a meeting to get her approval on stories for the newsletter. After about 20 minutes, Chris looked at me and asked “Do you want to work here on a new project?”

And so began my dream job, producing DemoMobile and working with Chris on the larger Demo event.

I was just one of several people Chris helped along the way.   

Now she is about to begin her next adventure at MIT, working for Jason Pontin on an MIT Technology Review project.

My gut feeling: there is no other editorial manager better equipped to plan and execute new projects. MIT is lucky to have her.--jim forbes on 08/05/2014.

(unfun fact! I picked about half of the companies that appeared at Demo 2002 but had a stroke in my hotel room at about 4AM. With her co-producer missing, Shipley didn’t miss a beat and launched the companies. Chris, I’ve always felt badly about leaving you holding my bag o’ companies.Sorry about that and thanks for the best job in the world.)

Interested in How Real Time Reporting is Changing? Begin Reading Chris Shipley's Bubble and Blender BLog Now!

Chris Shipley, the veteran executive producer of Demo, is now a fellow at the Reynolds Journalism Institi\ute at the University of Missouri's Grauduate Journalism School.

her latest post is a reflection on the lessons learned by John Walton, who led coverage of the recent hijacking of an Ethiopian Airlines.It's a fascinating analysis by Chris who is researching the impact of bloggers and other citizen journalists on media, including the rhetoical question of whether or not Twitters character cap hinders news.

I recommend anyone who is interested in the changing nature of news read her post.real time reporting on Ethiopian Airlines FLight 702

Once again Shipley is well ahead of the pack with prescient observations.Maybe I should go back to J-School and learn ho to report in today's changing world.  Jim Forbes 02/24/2014.

AN Open Letter to Software and Hardware Vendors And My New Fiskars Hatchet

An open Letter to all SAAP, Software and Some Hardware Vendors.

From: Jim Forbes, Retired Demo Event Producer

Subject: Opt-in,Opt-Out and My Willingness to use a Hatchet
When Reviewing

I”ve agreed to test a lot of new software in the last three decades. Mostly, it’s been a rewarding experience.

When a new company asks me to participate in the testing of anew application or service, I take the challenge seriously and I try to be as honest as possible about my experiences with the application—or hardware. In fact I make a point of testing applications on what I define as “my everyday machine” or in “common usage scenarios” when I agree to test something.

I am intensely interested in several emerging categories ofapplications. Some of these include note taking (or outlining), mobile commerceand consumer group conferencing applications, web-based office productivity and other packages.

I recognize most new software developers don’t have deep pockets and are under enormous pressure from investors to initiate revenue streams. Unfortunately some developers have resorted to partnerships with bloatware providers to trickle coins into their purses.

If someone agrees to test any company’s software, the developer should never assume they are also explicitly agreeing to install some lame ass, second string search toolbar dredged up from the Nineties. I’m perfectly happy using Google or Microsoft Bing.

Moreover, many of my primary apps are video intensive, so I do not want to waste valuable memory assets with some silly software that was selected for extinction by consumers 14 years ago.

My recent experience with a consumer video sharing application is one example. I installed the host based kernel and bigger than life, an Ask.com toolbar obnoxiously attached itself to some of my primary apps. Damn it! If I wanted to use Ask.com, I’d consciously install it. Not directly asking my permission to install it is a violation of my trust.  And that’s something that makes me question
the competence and integrity of a company’s management all the way up to its Board of Directors.

I absolutely hate bloatware in all its sundry forms. My computer is my property and I deliberately choose how and what programs I install and use. Because I agree to test an application doesn’t mean I’m opting to also use a dinosaur from Computing’s Triassic age. In fact, all three of the
most recent problems I’ve had with my computer have been caused by bloatware that’s accompanied new software I’m testing.

Opt-in,Opt-Out is an ongoing marketing strategy, yet again.

SO here’s the deal, I will savage any application that doesn’t allow me to easily opt-out of companion installations. Given the maturity of technology, any assumption by a developer that my testing of a program constitutes an axiomatic agreement that I’m opting in forces me to question a
software company’s understanding of its user base. And when I go down that road,
I am forced to look at the experience of that company’s management, its board of directors and all its investors.

My screed isn’t limited to software. Once again, bloatware has become a huge problem in hardware.

I have a nicely keened Fiskars hatchet I’m willing to use on any product that violates my beliefs in opt--in, opt-out. I also have a strong hand that’s willing to use that edged instrument.—Jim Forbes on 12/07/2012.

Caring for an Elderly Parent, Dealing With Ma's Broken Hip

I am one of the legions of baby boomers who moved an elderly
parent in their home. There’s a lot to be said about having my mother in my
house.

Right up front, I enjoy the companionship of someone who grew up in
rural CA and who can instantly solve difficult to answer questions like “What
did I do wrong ‘with this pie crust, mom”’

You didn;t use ice water, right?” she says.

Ice water? Well they didn’t teach that in man camp, damnit!,

Or my periennial favorite”What temp do I cook a turkey?
“look it up in Betty Crocker”

Until recently My 94 year old mother, has always made me
laugh.

But Mom is slowing down and three weeks ago she broke her
hip and was down for about 20 minutes before I found her on the floor.

I know, “bad son, very bad son.”

So for the last three weeks, I’ve been engaged in twice
daily round robin trips to visit Mom in the hospital and to face the sobering
reality of invoking an advanced medical directive.

Total buzz kill, right?

Not really.

Because of my mom’s advanced age, I’ve been prepared fo the otherwise
solemn invocation of mom’s mother’s advanced medical directive for several
years. She and I have discussed it and I know exactly what Do Not Resuscitate,
No Tube Feeding and No Heroic Measures” mean.

Mom’s path to the orthopedic surgeon’s table wasn’t  a freeway. Her kidney functions were well
below minimums, she was retaining excessive amount of carbon dioxide and worst
of all, there is a serious fatal risk associated ith intubating elderly
patients.

Until my mom’s surgeons explained to me that the diaphragm
muscles begin to atrophy  as soon as they
are not used, I thought breathing was one of the functions controlled by our
reptilian brains. I was wrong. My mom is quite specific in her wishes that she
not be put on ventilator.

Yet my mother is and has always been a force of nature. So,
one week after she broke her hip, she had surgery. The docs used a spinal block
and repaired her hip joint with three really wicked looking screws. She was on
the table a whopping 22 minutes and lost one teaspoon of blood.

Like I said, My mom is a force of nature.

Recovery has been slower than I expected, and my mom is very
weak. In fact she’s so weak she’s not up to rehab—the successful completion of
which should have resulted in her coming home to the addition I built for her
at my home here in Escondido.

The one thing I’ve learned the hard way about caring for an elderly
parent in your home is that caretakers need time off. I’m very burned out from
commutes to and from the hospital and trips to the airport to pick up and drop
off loved ones. I badly need a vacation.

The really Bad news is that tomorrow—after consulting with
her physician and a case worker, I will make a decision about moving my mother
to a skilled nursing  facility in the
hope that she’ll regain enough strength and determination to participate in  rehabilitation therapy.

The path leading to the decision to move my mother into a nursing
home has been difficult. Right up front, it's forced me to honestly look at how
seriously I’m handicapped. Because of the effects of a stroke, I’m very weak in
my left side and have balance problems. 
If I were to bring my now invalid mother home,I’d have to move her out
of a hospital bed and into a wheel chair several times a day, help her shower
and eat.

Honestly, it’s more than I can do. And my decision has left
me disappointed, frustrated and feeling like I’m not the son I should be.I
haven’t blogged about this until now,but I have posted bout my mom’s changed
condition on Facebook.

The response from childhood friends on Facebook to my short
posts made me realize that I’ve made a decision that’s best for my mother and
that I’m not the only Azusa kid now in his Sixties who has faced this conundrum.
In fact I’ve come to realize that growing up in Azusa prepared me for this day
better than I could have ever imagined.

At the end of the day I remain one ofAzusa’s Huck Finns, conquering  one white
fence at a time, with a lot of help from some people I’ve known forever. Jim

My Three High Tide Picks for Demo Fall 2010-- Dynamics' Card 2.0,Copia Interactive and MobiCart.

Picking platform plays as demonstrators at shows such as Demo can be a two-edged sword. Unless they can be linked visibly to obvious user benefits, theey're often too subtle to go over well with an audience.

And platform software could well have been the underlying percussive beat that drove Demo Fall 2010.

One of the platform demonstrators that set a new high bar at Demo was Dynamics’ Card 2.0, which I believe was the most significant launch I’ve seen at Demo since Jeff Hawkins premiered the original Palm Pilot in the early 1990’s.

Dynamics Card 2.0 is based on a card programmable magnetic stripe and is a “smart” card that will work with existing card readers. What I love about Dynamics technologies is simple: I can turn the card on or off or invoke functions with a few simple keystrokes on the face of the card and it has an integrated display that can be used to show balances on gift cards. But most importantly, unlike many so-called disruptive technologies, Dynamics’ Card 2.0 works with the existing infrastructure. Also, unlike many of the the next-generation smart cards I saw in my time before Demo’s mast, Card 2.0 is both thin and extremely rugged.  Furthermore, because of built in safeguards, such as requirements to turn this device on and enter a numeric pass cade, I am cojmpetely satisfied with the safety of my financial information and account access.

I also like this company because of the work it put into its product design. Card 2.0 is

Jeff Mullen Dynamics’ CEO flat out nailed his demonstration. After watching his on-stage pitch, I went back and reviewed my notes. Sure enough he had answered every follow-up question I had noted.

Dynamics’ Card 2.0 was awarded Demo Fall’s Peoples’ Choice Award.  My advice to any company prepping for a future spot at Demo—including pitching Matt Marshall-- is to look at the video of Jeff Mullen’s on stage Demo and use it as a template. It was simply one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Copia Interactive may be one of the best forward positioned products and platforms I’ve seen  at Demo in the last several years. Copia is both a social media application and platform. Copia is also a great example of aiming a product at a convergence of technologies. What I love about Copia’s technology is that it taps into the turbulent force of social media and provides its users with the ability to create and manage ad hoc interest groups while maintaining control over what’s publicly shown.

Copia scored pints with me through its demonstration in an Apple iPad slate computer.

I went to Demo anxiously hoping I’d find even more reasons to devote the remainder of my 2010 “gadget budget” to the purchase of a slate compute. Copia may have pushed my decision forward while convincing me that screen real estate and the availability of a good external keyboard will be an important part of my purchase decision.

The basics of Copia’s capabilities are somewhat available now on shared social media platforms like Google Books, Facebook and other web-based services. What Copia has done is provide a platform and an application that synchronizes content in discussion and special interest that lets me pick out what I have in common with members of discussions and keep public and private notes on such conversations. And it also supports multiple views of conversations.

Over the years, I’ve been openly critical of technology companies that try to tap into the entertainment industry without investing in the intellectual capital that drives the segment.

Two minutes into a conversation with this demonstrator in the pavilion and I said to myself “Aha! They get Hollywood and New York Media!” Copia was shown running on Apple iPads, Windows 7 computers but its developers make the point they’re platform agnostic but dedicated to the e-reader platform. The agnosticism that marks this platform should help any publishing partner that wants to incorporate social media as a strategic component to its long-term marketing plans. What I see in Copra is a platform that fundamentally binds users to brands and products at a grassroots level.

A small UK-based start-up at Demo Fall 2010 called MobiCart, demonstrated a technology that I think goes a long way in helping to deliver on the promises of making it much easier for retailers of all sizes to sell products online. MobiCart art does something that’s not really been done before: it allows retailers to to set up e-commerce sites that reflect not only their unique inventories, but also their individual brands. And it does this with less hassle than any other product I’ve ever seen.

MobiCart is an iPhone app. When used by consumers, it supports normal shopping cart functions and allows users to shop using one of several views.

MobiCart launches at a critical time. Companies such as Visa have recently announced their intentions to bring ecommerce to smart phones, at the time as geo-location based shopping site and applications are flourishing. This small company’s technology benefits from being at the right place at the right time, but the developer isn’t blind to the reality of the US market and told me in the pavilion they were indeed looking beyond the confines of the iPhone and thinking about readying versions for Android-based handsets.

But, while geolocation based shopping is growing, what’s been missing are simple toold that close the chasm between retailers and consumers.  MobiCart bridges this chasm.

My enduring post event thought about this company is that I hope it catches the attention of platform managers at either Visa or Intuit, both of which could use MobiCart as a foundation product for mobile commerce platforms.

I’m still thinking about a couple of other companies I saw at Demo Fall 2010 and my reaction to the show and its new venue in the heart of Silicon Valley. But that’s stuff for another post. Jim Forbes on 09/22/2010.

Demo 2010; at First Blush; The Technological Symphony Continues With Matt Marshall on the Podium

 

 

Demo, an annual technology showcase gets ready to kick off tomorrow morning and although the companies who will mount the show’s stage to show their new products aren’t talking until after the event opens Monday morning, it’s clear that despite a tight economy entrepreneurs are confident their products are good enough to establish news standards in consumer, enterprise and other technology categories.

There are several score companies here in Palm Desert that are ready to open their corporate kimonos in order to attract risk capital providers, angel investors and the  50-plus reporters from national publication who are attending Demo 2010. One of the biggest trends at this year’s show is the software code used by social networking sites such as Facebook.com or giant micro blogging sites like Twitter to add capabilities to those sites that drive consumer spending. There’s another subcurent at this year’ show that could add a new dimension to social networking sites; direct connections between businesses that use social media and their customers. Although it’s a concept that’s been widely discussed for years and there are already companies such as computer makers Lenovo and Hewlett Packard that use social media to connect with customers, new code from veteran software makers here are expected to make it easier for such companies to directly contact consumers using social media sites.

Demo’s success can’t be measured solely by the number of attendees who make the annual trek to the Coachella Valley to attend the show. Increasingly the show continues to attract serial entrepreneurs who have launched multiple products here.by my back of an envelope calculations, there are at least five companies at Demo 2010 whose founders launched previous products at the show. And the seasoning those entrepreneurs bring to Demo is visible when you talk to them. In years past, young entrepreneurs were often reluctant to disclose the granular details. Today, those veterans are much more apt to provide quantitative information an intrinsic part of their presentations.

Demo’s new executive producer is Matt Marshall, the editor of VentureBeat.com, will raise the conductor’s baton early Monday morning, setting the beat for Demo in the years to come.

Some quick Demo factoids:

There are approximately 500 attendeed at this years show with a high percentage of venture capitalists, angel investors and a smattering of corporate investor groups.

There are 55 accredited reporters/bloggers (including six representative from  international  organizations) at the show who will be filing reports from the show daily.

Demo continues  to attract companies from outside the US and there are a couple of stealthy startups here from Israel, Sweden, Finland, Canada and the Ukraine.

Well that’s all I have time for now and Demo2010is about to start. Jim Forbes from Demo 2010 on 03/23.2010.

On Your Mark, Get Ready, Pitch; It's Demo 2010 Time

Demo, the annual technology show case featuring new technology and the startups that hope to bring them to market starts next week and I’m excited about what’s been cooking in various incubators and stealthy small companies for the last year.

I view Demo as a “must attend” event.  It’s the only long lasting show that’s consistently served up technology that breaks new ground or defines existing categories.  I started attending the show 19 years ago and ended up co-producing the event with its longtime executive producer, Chris Shipley until I was forcibly retired by a stroke in the hours before Demo opened eight years ago.

This year Demo has a new producer. Venture Beat’s Matt Marshall has taken the well-worn baton from Chris Shipley, now the CEO of Guidewire Group. Matt’s strength is his deep knowledge of venture capital, access to which has always been a huge draw for any company that appears at Demo. But Matt is much more than just a connected observer of Venture Capital trends and emerging funding areas, he’s also a very skilled reporter—which I believe may be the paramount qualification for running a show such as Demo.

Demo is now Matt’s to conduct and he’s already expanded the players in his technological symphony orchestra. He’s doing this by using Demo to highlight not just consumer and infrastructure technology startups, but also bringing in new classes of companies in clean energy and health sciences.

It’s the expansion of Demo’s scope that makes me hopeful Demo 2010 will mark a new era in the history of this world class event.

If you attend Demo next week don’t be surprised to feel the hulking presence of the proverbial three thousand pound economic elephant in the room with you.  That elephant has been very busy for the last year not just among start-ups but also in the media sector where there have been numerous layoffs of technology journalist’s nationwide.  Anecdotally, I know at least three reporters for national print and other media outlets that have been pink slipped since the last Demo. All three were long term Demo attendees, but now that they have to travel on their own dime. They’ll be glued to Demo’s Internet site watching streamed onstage presentations and then  hitting Twitter and blog posts with reports.

Demo changes from year to year and no matter what firm is backing an individual entity; it remains a time sensitive snapshot of entrepreneurial efforts. But there are some obvious changes in how Demo is being presented now and they will benefit the show and the companies that have been selected to appear or pitch at Demo. One of the m most obvious changes is the presentation of information relating to how successful Demo presenters have been in raising venture capital and in overcoming the economy. According to Demo’s PR firm, Porter Novelli, over the last five years more than nine of every ten Demo presenters have survived, or been funded within nine months of appearing at the show.

Over a  longer, 20-year period, almost one quarter of all Demo demonstrators have received funding.

Kudos to Demo producers Chris Shipley and Matt Marshall as well as Porter Novelli for researching and presenting the information.

I’ll bed on site at Demo beginning Sunday afternoon and look forward to seeing this year’s crop of Demo demonstrators as well as the selected early start-ups who have been picked to pitch their ideas as part of Demo’s new Alpha Pitch program. Oh, if you want to meet me,  I’m hard to miss, I’m the guy in a tie-dyed shirt intently watching presenters on stage and in the Demonstrator Pavilion. Jim Forbes on march 03/2010.

Management Secrets of the Grateful Dead-- an Atlantic Monthly Article that Beats Most Books by Social Media Consultants

In between bouts of weeding my two vegetable gardens and preemptively fighting leaf curl on my Avalon peach trees, I read a lot. My goal is to read two books a week. And while much of what I read is to prepare me for a book project I want to begin later this year, I remain intrigued by books attempting to link business practices with social media and customer-centric marketing.

I was deep into blogger/communications consultant Brian Solis’ new book, Engage, when I came across this month’s Atlantic Magazine, which has an all-too brief article on the business practices of the Grateful Dead. Written by the Atlantic’s Joshua Green, the piece is a must read for anyone who is professionally or personally involved in using social media to engage customers. Green suggests that in the age of customer centric marketing and direct connections with consumers, many businesses could benefit from how the Dead engaged its fans/customers. He also believes that the Dead Archives—which are at the University of California, Santa Cruz’ campus could be mined for future marketing books.

Green’s examples of how the Dead directly engaged its customers and profited from that experience is a good tale. More importantly it beats just about anything I’ve read recently that’s been written by any of the self-anointed social media gurus.

The Dead as management models? Dude, they just keep on trickin’—Jim Forbes on 03/05/2010.
