51 Rules Live By in The Second Web
R l to Li B i Th S dW b

23 September 2011

Rule #1: Manage fluid contexts
g
52

 The “where” and “when” of content matters most
where when
 Chances are your audience controls the most
valuable content and tools for building contexts
 Get your content ready to self-package and self-
license in whatever contexts matter most to
audiences – APIs are key

23 September 2011

Rule #2: Enable human experience
p
53

 Use, extend and interpret human senses and sensors
 Accept that people use multiple senses concurrently
 Augment and extend human relationships
 Focus on the value of venues based more on
exclusive human experiences, less on exclusive things
experiences
A book as undivided personal attention
 Yet divisible amongst many platforms in different contexts
g yp
A periodical as a curated collection of current insights
 Audience may actively control agonostic curation

23 September 2011

Rule #3: Facilitate transactions
54

 “I trust, therefore I transact”
I transact
 Brandsare trusted relationships that lead to transactions
 Many levels and contexts for transactions
 Social, subscription, give-to-get, collective purchasing
 Build trust where audiences feel most comfortable
 Platforms
are just points of inflection in building trust
 Where y
you are with what y have is the context
you
 Adjust your metrics to the most profitable trust models
 Journal impact vs. opportunity impact
p pp y p
23 September 2011

Rule #4: Ignore borders
g
55

 Link everything to everyone
 Language no longer separates – BOTH ways
 Platforms will no longer separate (unless the user
really wants it that way)
 HTML 5 and cross-platform native client programming for content and
p p g g
functionality will dominate
 Business, governmental, social borders blurred by
equivalence of cloud access
 Privacy is a boundary, not a border – it’s flexible
but sensitive
23 September 2011

Rule #5: Partner with the cloud
56

 Immense availability of cloud communications and
content accelerates the value of smaller, more
contextual markets:
 Hyperlocal, Hyperfocused, SMEs
 Microcapital (and new forms of stored value)

 Personalized goods and services

 Most value surfaces in unexpected opportunities
(‘The Black Swan” - Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
 Sense everything, focus on the “outliers”
23 September 2011

Responding to the Second Web
57

 Opportunities are
increasingly in complex
domains
 Core content and
aggregated smart content
needs to be aligned more
with complex domains
 Interfaces and apps need
to roll out faster, smarter
and more targeted Source: Cognitive Edge

23 September 2011

Learn How to Swim!
58

 Make the complex simple
 Be in the real-time stream
 Agnostic aggregation
can accelerate
profits & productivity
 Accept where the value
is created in publishing
 Highly automated insights, highly human insights
 Everything else gets commoditized!
