forecast of web technologies, 2007

death of mass market

rise of personalization

product is marketing

RECLAME - PRE 70’s
Product is the king : good or not
Eg : itmakesyourclothes clean
ADVERTISING - 1970
All products are good

Creation of an image

Eg : yourclothes are clean and itmakesyoubeautiful
COMMUNICATION - 1990
All products are good
All products are beautiful

Societal values

Eg : yourclothes are clean, you ‘restillbeautiful and thisiseco-friendly
CONVERSATION - 2010
Communication is a construction, a fakefromevil marketing

Need to share, buildproximity, been listened

Ex : yourclothes are clean, it’sbeautiful and eco-friendly, just as you

betweenreclame and conversation,
levelsof complexity in a recursive cycle

the new before - after

perfect timing

safety & securityfrombelonging ?

self esteem & individualism ?

self actualization ?

I’m smart too

1 min of fame

signal & noize

actually,
the word of mouth is not new,
the today scale is

what will produce 7 billions
of connected brains ?
