Huh? Kidding right?
Do people know the numbers of famous people that develop 99.5% crap every year before it gets to air time for television every year?

The Internet is becoming a galaxy of asteroid fields… These start-ups are just making different colored rocks… When we need new planets.
What is funny... is that what I have been working...
One or two of whom had a thousand disclaimers about conflicts in helping anything we were doing.
What Tu-Is and Hyv do is create a way for content to be predominantly open and shared. Yet everyone was so protective of their own..that we now have a situation where lots of problems arise because they would not address them out of self-interest. On BOTH sides.
Praying a decade of crowdfunding potential did not...
Again, don’t mean to be a jerk but these crowdfunding services (i.e. Kickstarter) -ugh, why did they not have the foresight to see/understand… .. In 6-10 mo.’s we will see the hangover of what they did wrong in mass raising what will most likely be 90% “no reward” initiatives. The fall out, I am praying, is not damaging to a decade of independent projects trying...

All other challenges will become smaller once we achieve this first.

Netflix is crashing for the same reason anyone who is not building long form, genuinely-wide, ethos/pathos/logos-driven content creation, yet built a model for a platform to deliver it, will too. Complex, interactive, multi-platform retail integrated content creation that is good enough to entertain masses amount of people, at a quality that is in par with network and television programming...
Location (in content) ... Location (in content)...
There are 4 in the royal court. Audience, ISP/Telephony, Retailers, Browsers.. but the king controls virtual real estate of the internet… …the content architects. Content architects are at the beginning threshold of their reign. Where the value in the internet is around location.. location.. location. The better you make content.. with the most interface and quality ethos pathos...
Integrating retail is the hardest corner the...
I do wish many people put a lot more effort into helping me.
Helping, as I learned from a few people over the years… is when someone jumps in struggles, gets dirty and doesn’t tell you to deliver a million things before they will risk anything.
They are not the people who smile at you when you are in the room nodding but when asked after you leave the room say…...

The State of Media: Content at a... →
Media is changing. In fact, our very concept of what media is is undergoing a transformation as well. I can explain the changes or I can simply show you this video. You’ll think it’s adorable, but it’s sure to make traditional media types’ blood run cold. Watch and then we’ll continue. …

Steve Jobs on Creativity “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that...
Easter eggs and finding $10 on your path in the...
Part of our acrobatics is to team deals/easter eggs with the right emotional architecture/context in each story. Yeah, we get it. …Better than anybody I think…Groupon, LiveSocial, Foursquare.. because we come from the background of building the right ethos, pathos, logos. Since 2005 working on getting it right with retailers and architecture before we launch anything. One shot to be...
Yes, for every 3 retailers, my call (and what I...
Humanity needs to hold the credibility of being human in the interface. Markets are not evil… but if they dominate the message… the message is not what it portends to be.
I'm sorry but it is frustrating hearing these...
It is baffling that they are talking about “one click” wavers of complex, layered media licenses with clearly no understanding of the complexity and any history of how collaborative media like live action filmmaking and episodic television comes together.. Especially in independent but large scale production formats work. It is downright malfeasance.

So much fluff about process and revenue based on the beginning of a paradigm shift. …so many inexperienced, in the almost century long history of mass communication and it’s largest revenue model processes (and interpersonal communication, for that matter)…leading the discussion.
Again... the world is heading into Web^3...
Thus the new seed of everything and prominance of everything… is the design of the storycube.. vs. the storyline.

EBay and Amazon… but it really comes down to who owns the content where the retail will be linked from… and is it in the right place. Retail is driven by emotion, utility and appetite. …but if it is placed inorganically within the content.. or the audience smells “fraud” content surrounding retail…it will not buy.
Content architects who understand this and...
Early morning Storycube Hyv call, question.....
Avoid all this gimmickry that is dominating Transmedia and multi-platform experts .. Things that distract or disrupt story flow without purpose to the flow and 4th wall are damaging to the long tail audience for both the specific project & the industry.

“Just 1 in 7 U.S. workers is of normal weight without a chronic health problem, according to Gallup polling data, and it could be costing the economy more than $153 billion a year in lost productivity from increased sick days.”

Monday we have discussions about servers and “project by project” as virtual appliance & diversification… Interoperability. Scale delivery ideas with partners…& hypervisors as story interface.

Integrated retail is not easy. I never said it was (I am seven years working on making sure it is right) … but it is the future of EVERYTHING. & it will take a long time for even a few of us who put our lives where our mouths were (After we had achieved something) …to get it right. I just hope we are out first. This year.
Watchhope it’s not all hype… looks beautifully done.
Humanity mechanics > game mechanics
We have been thrown, as a culture, way off by the focus or idea of the world as some “game layer” ..I have had discussions with so many execs this past few weeks about this with regard to the Tu-Is & Hyv being a tool for games but not a game. Game mechanics in everything is an idea built on the same values that make Paris Hilton famous.
