Google Nexus Meets "The Digital Handshake"
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Google's Nexus ifone
The second day
of Real Estate Connect NYC 2010 was filled with highlights. The trend now toward ‘blending’ of all your sites and posts in one spot and mining that information to answer subjective questions thru social networks plus determine who the most influential among us are. Lots ahead in those areas for sure.
Two items that stuck out were the new Nexus ifone and the speaker from Google on the things they’re working on which one is the new phone. The thought behind it is to create a great platform (or processor) without locking it into one specific network (carrier). This is a trend in and of itself where no traditional businesses and individuals are suddenly becoming manufacturers of products because they have a great idea. The Flip video camera is another.
Paul Cheney's "The Digital Handshake"
Paul Cheney also gave an excellent presentation on social media and what we need to do to get on board (except for Gen Y). “Digital Handshake“ is definitely worth a read. He also recommended another book, “The Clue Train”. It’s all about the ‘mindset’ of innovation…and that’s the wave to catch.
The conference is ending today with a few minor wrap-ups. I’ll keep you posted on anything that jumps out at me.
All the Best,
Lance
