Karl Long has an interesting post over at his blog in which he questions whether the web is changing so fast that the “bold, innovative interactive marketers are now the traditional media.” and that the “flash based orgies for the senses” are not properly harnessing the new social marketing opportunities. I agree with Karl’s questioning here and think we’re definitely behind the curve.

Whether or not you, or the brands you work with, have a social media strategy you have to admit it’s hard these days not to talk digital without hearing someone throw around terms like word-of-mouth, seeding, driving the conversation, socially enabled technology. ‘Fishing where the fish are’ is the latest. But, it seems like it’s big business who’ve really taken the bait this time… A recent study by the Centre for Marketing Research (University of Massachusetts Dartmouth) about the usage of social media in corporations indicates just that.

From informitv, news of the next frontier in High Definition TV.
“Forget high-definition, broadcasters are now working on an ultra high-definition format known as Super Hi-Vision or SHV, with a resolution 16 times that of a full HD image. The first demonstration delivered by satellite is being staged at the IBC show in Amsterdam, in collaboration between public broadcasters NHK of Japan, RAI in Italy and the BBC in the United Kingdom.”
The implications are probably less about how this will imapct TV (who’s got a front room big enough?) and more about how it will impact cinema. No costly prints to transport, relatively cheap projection. Will this mean the end of the mega-multiplex and welcome back to the high street cinema?
If you can make it to this year’s IBC broadcast tech conference, you can check it out for yourself.
