  9. 11. Fortunately, I found some. Well, I found Lenny Legoman… Hi!
  10. 12. Fortunately, I found some. Well, I found Lenny Legoman… … and he recruited a few friends.
  11. 13. DISCLAIMERS No ninjas were harmed during the creation of this presentation. LEGO images are via http://minifigures.lego.com (except for Lenny Legoman, a name of my own device, and I found him on Google Image Search by looking for ‘ lego man white background’ and winding up at http://www.exhibitoronline.com/exhibitormagazine/images/june07/itw/legoman.jpg ). LEGO is not a current client of this presenter nor his agency, though this presenter played with quite a bit of LEGO as a kid and still thinks it’s pretty awesome, even if he doesn’t know how on Earth someone would spend hundreds of dollars on one of their more advanced sets. These opinions have not been vetted by anyone, including the presenter himself. In some alternative universe cupcakes are good for you. I prefer real ninjas to social media ninjas.
  12. 15. Lenny’s challenge How do I figure out what to wear?!?!?
  13. 16. <ul><li>Adding Facebook likes increased Steve Madden’s mobile site’s traffic by 30% within 24 hours. </li></ul><ul><li>- Mobile Marketer </li></ul>Mobile social 101: start with Facebook

  18. 25. <ul><li>“ Hey, Pete. How do I know that the colors you see are the same as the colors that I see? Maybe what I see as red you perceive as green .” </li></ul>
  19. 26. <ul><li>“ Hey, Pete. How do I know that the colors you see are the same as the colors that I see? Maybe what I see as red you perceive as green .” </li></ul>
  20. 27. It’s like the HSBC “Different Values” campaign where the same image has different meanings to different people
  21. 30. Reality check Tags seem like a lot of work… unless they help me make sense of my world.
  22. 32. Lenny’s challenge When I’m watching TV, how do I share stuff and see what others are saying?
  23. 34. The messy middle…
  24. 35. 400
  25. 36. Mobile TV watching is a very social experience Source: Yahoo / Nielsen
  26. 37. The present and near-future: use mobile apps to sync up with TV allowing for interactive content and sharing
  27. 40. Reality check I’m as big a channel surfer as there is, and TV’s far more fun when my phone makes it social.
  28. 42. Lenny’s challenge Who can I ask questions that matter to me right now?
  29. 45. Reality check Any answers I get better be faster than Google or Siri, and even more relevant.
  30. 47. Lenny’s challenge Why do I get the same recommendations as my grandpa? What’s wrong with deals for 50% off your next Bingo tournament?
  31. 50. Wisdom app
  32. 51. Reality check My phone is personal, so any recommendations better be all about ME.
  33. 53. Lenny’s challenge How can I find out if friends or people I should know are nearby?
  34. 54. Javits Sonar
  35. 56. Reality check It takes a lot to weird me out, and this stuff weirds me out.
  36. 58. Lenny’s challenge How can mobile games feel totally relevant wherever I am?
  37. 65. Reality check Geogaming’s for geeks, but if it becomes part of Angry Birds or Words with Friends, I’ll be hooked.
  38. 67. Lenny’s challenge How can I… umm… augment stuff? IDK.
  39. 70. Airwalk
  40. 72. Reality check I know a few things about augmentation, but this is over my head. Make it fun or useful and skip the jargon.
  41. 74. Lenny’s challenge How can I really interact with any place or object right where I am?
  42. 75. Survey says… “ 2011 is — finally — the year that near field communication begins to matter. The market will finally move away from the trial stage in regions where NFC infrastructure is in place.” Forrester Research 2011 Mobile Trends report
  43. 79. Reality check Does this work on my 1983 Motorola DynaTAC? If not, I’ll use NFC when I get around to upgrading.

Editor's Notes

  • Two of the biggest shifts in consumer behavior are converging to radically alter buying behavior.  Customers are relying on friends’ and strangers’ feedback at every stage of the shopping process while constantly sharing their own opinions and content.  Meanwhile, as most mobile users adopt smartphones, it’s easier than ever for customers to make purchase decisions on the go – though that may mean they’re purchasing from your competitors.  Get past the hype and buzzwords and uncover ten of the most important trends sitting at the intersection of mobile and social media.  By the tenth one, you’ll be better prepared to embrace the year ahead and explore the trends that matter most to you.

To do it, they’ve created the “Urban Dash” iPhone app that challenges you to find hundreds of virtual batons throughout New York, before running to the new flagship store while still in possession of that baton. Each day they are releasing 20-30 batons, and if you make it to the store with one, you’ll score a free pair of New Balance 574 Shoes instantly, but if you manage to collect the most virtual batons out of everyone in NYC, you’ll take home an exclusive 14k Gold Baton worth over $20k! However, it won’t be easy… anyone else with the app will see where you are with the baton, and if they can get close enough to you, they’ll be able to take it from you.

As such, it’s no big surprise that the country’s biggest social network, Mixi (JP, 23 million members), sees 25 of its 29 billion monthly page views coming from cell phones. And according to Mixi, it’s now the first social network that lets users share information with friends through NFC technology on Android handsets. Last year already, Mixi added two functions to its mobile site, which NFC is supposed to boost: Mixi Check In (which works much like Facebook Places) Mixi Check (essentially the same as Facebook’s Share function) The NFC-powered versions are named “Mixi Real Check In” and “Mixi Real Check”. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology makes it possible to exchange data between devices in close proximity to each other. Mixi Real Check In allows you to check in to places by tapping their Android phone on an NFC tag in the real world to share your location with your Mixi friends in real-time. These tags, which cost a few cents and can contain any kind of information (i.e. a URL or Twitter handle), can be attached to a wall or poster in a store or restaurant, for example.

  • At Get Your FaceMate, matches are made based on people who look alike – but not so closely alike that they’re siblings
  • https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cartoonizer.free.mobile.app&amp;rdid=com.cartoonizer.free.mobile.app&amp;rdot=1&amp;pli=1 For those of you who loved Who Framed Roger Rabbit , here’s your chance to be a Toon in Toontown.   The Tides Group recently released the latest version of their Android App “Cartoonizer Free .”  With over 10K downloads, it’s pretty fantastic.  Cartoonizer is a photo edition tool that provides users with the capabilities to cartoonize their photos.  What does it mean to ‘Cartoonzie’ a photo you say? Well, Cartoonizer uses the Face.com Face Recognition API to detect and recognize the position of the facial features of the person in the photo, and then it automatically adds the features to a cartoon image.  Voila! Face.com’s API is so powerful and accurate that it provides information on gender, head rotation in the 3 axis, whether the person is smiling, and if the individual is wearing glasses. The Cartoonizer Free app uses all this information to automate the process of cartoonizing photos.  Once this cartoonization process is complete, the user can also add more features to the photo and edit all the facial features. For example, the user can edit the hue, contrast, brightness and saturation of each element, and make it match with the skin color of the person in the photo. Imagine if your bugged out Roger Rabbit-like eyes weren’t the proper shade of red and white?  Not a problem with Cartoonizer.   Cartoonizer is now available in the Android Market .  For you, it’s free.
  • Kraft is pioneering in-store kiosks using facial recognition. Of course, a lot of the features – with the exception of the product sampling itself – could come right from the phone rather than a kiosk. http://www.psfk.com/2011/01/kraft-vending-machine-suggests-recipes-using-facial-recognition.html
  • http://www.kate-upton.com/2011/06/30/kate-upton-staring-contest/ Sobe did a Kate Upton ‘staring contest’ using a webcam, and also a mobile app. The webcam version detects whether you’re making eye contact.
  • The mobile app uses a gimmick with the accelerometer, but it’s easy to see facial recognition playing a role here as processing power improves on mobile devices.
