Five Major Trends in Advance Cyber-Social
Advanced Cyber/IO, Cultural Intelligence, Mobile, Real Time
2 Mar
I spend a lot of time looking at and writing about disruptive business models, and lately I have been talking about a handful that I think are really meaningful that will continue to mature over time and work their way into lots of other industries. 1) Friending. 2) Getting nothing, but paying for it. 3) Getting something, but not paying for it. 4) David beating Goliath. 5) Adding a third party to two party transactions. Visit Blog for full text accompanying each of the above. Phi Beta Iota: At DEMO Spring 2011 the deep persistent theme was the embedding of social media into everything. This is also one of the themes in Jane McGonigal's book, Reality Is Broken–Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World.

Regulators Reject Proposal That Would Bring Fox-Style News to Canada
As America's middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades — against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News — fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canadian regulators today announced they would reject efforts by Canada's right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.

SPOT Connect: Any Cell Phone SatComm Capable
Autonomous Internet, Counter-Oppression/Counter-Dictatorship Practices, InfoOps (IO), International Aid, Open Government, Reform, Technologies, Tools
Today’s smartphones provide a level of social connection far beyond what we imagined just a few years ago. But when you go beyond the reach of the grid, your smartphone needs the help of SPOT Connect to keep you in touch with friends, family, and emergency personnel. Simply pair your smartphone with SPOT Connect, and get connected to a global satellite network that lets you send messages and GPS coordinates from virtually anywhere on the planet. Update Twitter and Facebook. Send email and text messages. Request non-emergency help from professional service providers. And in the case of a critical emergency, send an SOS message requesting emergency assistance.
WARNING NOTICE: This $169 device does NOT include the subscription fees associated with SATCOM. There are some “relatively” low cost options, and a small crowd-sourcing effort to buy a satellite that will provide free SATCOM access to Africa, but the pieces are not there yet. See Autonomous Internet for a larger discussion of the possibilities.
Tip of the Hat to Aaron Huslage for this pointer.
