Content is Dead. Context is King.
by Craig Burton
Novell co-founder & Industry Guru (Burton Group)
What a Purpose-centric, contextual Future means for you
Content is Dead/Content is King
Disruptive but no losers
Distinguish
- content vs context
- context automation
- communication models
- identity models
- golden triangle
- ubiquity
Content vs context
- content: portals, destinations, stickiness, banner adds, pop-ups cookies
- context: mash up, do something, facilitate, cooperate, contextual help, minimal intrusion, selectors
Context automation
- communication models
organizational vz personal
- identity models
cookie-based vz selector-based (selector is inevitable)
selector is identity container
- golden triangle
selector / rules / data
Fostering ubiquity
- we get lost in beauty of algorithm
- move to make it work
- all endpoints
- don't wait for others to move
