<a href="http://twitter.com/home/?status=New:+Google+Sidewiki+-+Chance+or+Curse+for+Hotel+Marketers?+http://wp.me/pzWia-23+from+%40corinnawitt" target="_blank">Tweet this</a></p>
<p>Google has just launched it&#8217;s new product Sidewiki as part of the Google toolbar. With Sidewiki people can leave their comments on any website, page or part of the site&#8217;s content.<br />
It has to be seen how popular the product will be, since one has to be using the Google toolbar and logged into their account in order to comment. However, it is certainly going to have an impact on hotel and tourism online marketing strategies.</p>
<div id="attachment_133" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><img class="size-full wp-image-133" title="Google Sidewiki" src="http://onlinemarketingconsultancy.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/sidewiki.png" alt="Google Sidewiki" width="468" height="264" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Sidewiki</p></div>
<p>Negative comments won&#8217;t be tucked away on community and special interest sites like Tripadvisor anymore but can be found alongside your brand or individual hotel website, exactly in the very spot where you are trying very hard to convert a website visitor into a booker. Sidewiki could also be open to abuse by competitors, of course.<br />
Sounds like Sidewiki could become quite a curse for hotel and tourism marketers. But why not see it as a chance as well? After all, if your product convinces and people leave positive comments, this may just tip an undecided visitor over and make them book.</p>
<p>Like most things in life this innovation has advantages and disadvantages and you can see the glass as being half full or half empty. I think, Google Sidewiki is just another step towards the truly transparent and collaborative web. Use it wisely!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As we continue our journey acquainting ourselves with the nuances of New Media, the thrill has been quite evident among two dozen odd faces in Rediffusion -Y&#38;R Public Relations.</p>
<p>The brainstorming sessions have left us overwhelmed and we are feeling a transition in our thought process. Thankfully our apprehensions surrounding the New Media tools have been answered to a great extent.</p>
<p>The day-to-day work has been more eventful these days, as we gradually evolve and consider utilizing the New Media tools for our communication needs.</p>
<p>But frankly speaking, as communications experts we are still clueless how to do away with the traditional media in a country like India, where the New Media is in a nascent stage. How would we reach a certain set of our target audience sitting in Indore, Surat, Dehradun, Tezpur, etc.?</p>
<p>Undoubtedly, the New Media tools will make our life simpler by giving us a wider global audience and spreading our message much faster that was hitherto unimaginable. We also have to gear up to optimize our resources to take the “Big Leap forward” and counter the diversities that come along.</p>
<p>Now it’s time to showcase our newly acquired skills to our clients, business associates and convince them (better late than never) to adopt the new platforms. It could be a mix of both the traditional and the New Media. We are looking forward to more sessions in the coming days to equip ourselves to face the “Collaborative Web.”</p>
<p>We learn as we grow!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>With due apologies to a certain Mr. Robert Frost, this line seems to best describe the phenomena that the world is witnessing today. Call it whatever you may, it is slowly but surely challenging as well as changing conventional norms, flattening the whole world in the process and resulting in convergence like never before.</p>
<p>Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m talking about the frenzy that seems to have gripped the entire world – the Collaborative Web. As Mr. Frost had so profoundly penned down this line about a century ago, the real significance is dawning upon its readers today.</p>
<p>We are witnessing numerous instances all around us when fences are being demolished, walls are going kaput, boundaries are being dissolved and geographies shrinking all the time.</p>
<p>Today, a company in Atlanta could well have a customer in Agartala and for all you know they could be talking to each other more frequently than you talk to your neighbour.</p>
<p>Corporates are reaching out to their customers directly and customers have found a platform to interact, voice their opinions and get heard. Social networking sites like Orkut, Facebook, etc. have connected people from all across the globe.</p>
<p>And chances are that even the Biblical Cain and Abel are on each others friends list! To cut a long story short, one can’t bury one’s head in the sand anymore.</p>
<p>Signing off with yet another borrowed line. Change your world or the world will change you!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Here, finally the lessons from the social reporting experience we had at the Rights and Climate Conf]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Here, finally the lessons from the social reporting experience we had at the <a href="http://rightsandclimatechange.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Rights and Climate Conference</a> in Oslo last October. Our objective was to create a live account of the conference, so people could access and search all materials (including power points, videos and photos). A second objective was to allow interested people who could not attend in person to comment and ask questions.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><strong>Why?</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Reporting from the conference is much faster. The summaries of the presentations were usually posted within 30 minutes following the sessions and included links to the power points and other related material.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">The blog is much richer than many of the traditional conference reports, you usually get several months after an event. In addition to the sessions summaries, all the presentations and related briefs and other materials, the blog contains links to related news, short interviews, commentaries from people who could not attend the conference, and photos from the event.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Unlike traditional reports this format allows people to participate and shape the outcome of the conference and it allows people who are not there to participate.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><strong>What?</strong><br />
</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Sessions summaries and commentary were posted directly on the <a href="http://rightsandclimatechange.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>, which also become the central place linking to all other content;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">We also posted running commentary, questions, and information (including logistical information) for participants;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Presentations were posted on <a href="http://slideshare.net/rightsandclimate/" target="_blank">Slideshare</a>;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Photos were posted on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30871220@N06/" target="_blank">Flickr;</a><br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">We posted videos to <a href="http://rightsandclimate.blip.tv/" target="_blank">Blip.tv</a>;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">News were tagged and bookmarked on <a href="http://delicious.com/rightsandclimate" target="_blank">Delicious</a>; we posted our own press releases on the blog and broadcasted them in other media outlets.<br />
</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><strong>Lessons:</strong></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">1. We had too little wo(man) power. Our conference had about 100 participants and we were two to blog the sessions. We had help to take pictures and conduct a few interviews, but had to take care of a lot of the small things like collecting an uploading the presentations which is very time-consuming. Those who live-blog or summarize the sessions should not have to do anything else!</span><br />
<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Here are the things that need to be done:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Live-blog or summarize the sessions;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Conduct interviews;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Collect quotes;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Take pictures;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Collect and post presentations;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Collect and post photos and videos;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Search and tag relevant news stories.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Depending on the size of the event one person can obviously take care of a couple of these. To minimize the amount of people you need to hire, you can train some participants beforehand. We would have liked to involve participants more, but ended up doing many of these things ourselves. One essential thing is to make it easy for participants to contribute (e.g. email in comments), but you can also integrate with the conventional reporting and use note takers to post to the blog.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">2. Start discussion on the blog and other media before the conference (2-3 weeks) and help people to already contribute. Prior to the conference, we only used the blog for logistics, but not for content.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">3. A good internet connection is crucial to upload all the materials and to allow participants to contribute.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">4. Be aware</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Is the blog open or closed? this will influence how much participants will be willing to share; sensitive subjects will not be discussed if participants feel their commentary is not private.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Rights to content (photos, ppts): make sure you have the rights to display all the content.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">New tools can be dominated by few people who use them. Just as with offline conferences (or maybe even more so), you need to support the voices that would normally not be heard. This relates to peoples comfort level, but also to their skills (computer literacy), and to their connectivity.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><strong>Additional ideas for the next conference:</strong></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">This list comes from our own discussion following the conference but also contains many useful ideas, I picked up from a talk by <a href="http://www.communiq.org/" target="_blank">Chris Addison</a>:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Build a participants wall; take pictures as people arrive and post them on a wall;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Create Conference proceedings from blog (cut and paste);</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Ask participants to interview each other (need to have a few (cheap) cameras on hand for this);</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Get non-F2F attendees to send in questions/ comments/ expectations before the event;<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Integrate twitter as it is very easy to post and conversations develop easily. If you work with twitter make sure you define a unique tag (or <a href="http://twitter.pbworks.com/Hashtags" target="_blank">hashtag</a>) for your conference so others can follow the related updates more easily.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Use wikis or online whitepads (e.g. <a href="http://etherpad.com/" target="_blank">etherpad</a>) for working groups. Some of these will allow remote participants to contribute so they can not only follow the discussions but also add comments and questions.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Communicate your conference tag to participants so that can use it for other services, such as Flickr or social bookmarking (e.g. delicious)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Use tools such as <a href="http://www.coveritlife.com" target="_blank">http://www.coveritlife.com</a> for live-blogging.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Also from Chris&#8217; presentation here are a couple of conference reporting styles. You will most likely use a mix of these:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Central reporting &#8211; contractual;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Facilitated reporting with guidance: a few selected participants and organizers will be responsible for reporting;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Social reporting/ commentary: always happening, e.g. Back-to-Office-Reports; just need to find ways to tap these sources of information and commentary about your conference;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Integrated content production &#8211; need training to build literacy otherwise a few are likely to dominate.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><strong>Technical lessons:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">The Rights and Climate Conference blog is hosted on wordpress.com, which had a couple of limitations for our purposes: the statistics are not good enough as you cannot see a geographical breakdown; people new to the platform had to get used to menus and interface, and wp.com does not allow emailing in posts, which makes it more difficult for non-tech participants to contribute.</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;"><br />
For my part, I used ecto (a blog editor) to post my updates, since I was afraid that I would lose content blogging on the web-interface in the event of connection problems. Using ecto worked well for me, but it might also not be the solution for everyone. I do like Windows Live Writer for computers running windows.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Au centre des communicateurs web, il y a le concept d&#8217;identité numérique. Que l&#8217;on utilise un ordinateur, un livre électronique, un iPhone, un téléviseur ou même le tableau de bord d&#8217;une voiture, on pourrait retrouver un communicateur fonctionnant plus ou moins de la même manière et démarrant toujours par un processus d&#8217;identification. Remarquez que le web actuel nous a déjà habitué à cela, certes pas de la meilleure façon, la majorité des sites proposant la création d&#8217;un compte spécifique, nous forçant ainsi à multiplier les identités, jusqu&#8217;à l&#8217;absurde. La solution la plus élégante, bien entendu, consisterait à avoir une identité centrale sur laquelle tous les sites puissent s&#8217;appuyer. C&#8217;est d&#8217;ailleurs la direction prise par de nombreux acteurs avec le projet <a href="http://openid.net/">OpenID</a>, mais je crois qu&#8217;on peut aller encore plus loin en plaçant la notion d&#8217;identité numérique au coeur des communicateurs. </p>
<p>Au départ, il nous sera donc demandé de nous identifier, on pourra choisir une identité existante ou en créer une nouvelle. Le communicateur affichera alors notre espace personnel, un espace qu&#8217;on pourra personnaliser à volonté en y ajoutant toutes sortes de choses, un espace qui nous servira aussi de point de départ vers le reste du web et vers les autres. Typiquement, on y ajoutera des choses créées par nous ou par d&#8217;autres, des choses que l&#8217;on aime ou qu&#8217;au contraire on n&#8217;aime pas du tout et que l&#8217;on souhaite faire savoir. On pourra également ajouter nos sites préférés mais aussi nos amis et personnes avec qui nous souhaitons rester en contact. Ainsi, on construira peu à peu une représentation publique de nous-mêmes, donnant corps à notre identité numérique. Mais cela va de soi, notre espace pourra également comporter des parties privées afin de conserver des choses personnelles que l&#8217;on ne souhaite pas partager. Enfin, il sera envisageable de créer des espaces collectifs, appartenant à plusieurs personnes autorisées à les modifier, ou même appartenant à tous, à la manière des wikis.</p>
<p>Dans les communicateurs, le concept de page disparaît au profit d&#8217;objets permettant de représenter tout ce qu&#8217;il est possible d&#8217;imaginer : vidéo, image, musique, livre, texte, commentaire, calendrier, événement, entreprise, produit, personne, facture, paiement&#8230; tout-ce-que-vous-voulez peut devenir un objet. Aujourd&#8217;hui, on trouve des sites spécialisés dans un ou plusieurs types d&#8217;objets, par exemple, YouTube propose des vidéos, Flickr des images, WordPress propose des objets de type blogs, articles et commentaires, Amazon propose des livres, des bons de commande, des factures, etc. Tous ces objets sont formidables mais ils ont un gros défaut, ils sont enfermés dans les sites dans lesquels ils sont créés. C&#8217;est comme s&#8217;ils n&#8217;avaient pas d&#8217;existence propre, ils ont bien du mal à apparaître ailleurs que sur leur plate-forme d&#8217;origine, et les rares fois où ils le font, c&#8217;est généralement sous une forme très limitée (les fameux widgets). Les communicateurs proposent une logique totalement inverse en plaçant les objets au centre (tout comme l&#8217;identité numérique). Les sites tels qu&#8217;on les connaît aujourd&#8217;hui demeureront mais leur raison d&#8217;être principale devrait être de proposer des objets autonomes, capables d&#8217;échapper à leur contexte initial, se matérialisant partout où on le désire.</p>
<p>Je ne veux pas trop m&#8217;avancer dans la description d&#8217;une interface graphique mais j&#8217;imagine aisément une sorte de Dock en bas de l&#8217;écran dans lequel on pourrait placer toutes sortes d&#8217;objets types qu&#8217;il suffirait de glisser/déposer afin de les mettre en oeuvre où l&#8217;on veut. Par exemple, pour ajouter un commentaire à un article de blog, il suffirait de déposer un objet &#8220;texte&#8221; sur l&#8217;article en question, si on préfère faire un commentaire vidéo, libre à nous d&#8217;utiliser un objet &#8220;vidéo&#8221;, et encore mieux, on pourra déposer un objet &#8220;paiement&#8221; pour effectuer un don à l&#8217;auteur du blog ! Bien entendu, le propriétaire d&#8217;un objet (l&#8217;auteur du blog dans notre exemple) pourra refuser certaines associations avec d&#8217;autres objets. Soit globalement, il refusera par exemple tous les commentaires vidéos s&#8217;il ne les aime pas, soit au cas par cas, en rejetant un commentaire spécifique qu&#8217;il jugerait inapproprié.</p>
<p>En somme, si un objet est un contenu, c&#8217;est également un contenant susceptible de recevoir d&#8217;autres objets, des objets créés par d&#8217;autres. C&#8217;est un pas supplémentaire vers l&#8217;ouverture et vers la transparence, c&#8217;est une généralisation du web collaboratif, tout objet pouvant donner naissance à d&#8217;autres, leur offrant une visibilité et une accessibilité immédiate. Prenez un objet très populaire comme le dernier tube d&#8217;un groupe à la mode et imaginez que tout un chacun puisse poster des choses juste en dessous, ou pas très loin, à un ou deux clics de distance. On trouvera toutes sortes de commentaires, mais aussi des clips, des remix, des articles, des soirées organisées par des fans, des produits dérivés, etc. Bref, à partir d&#8217;un objet c&#8217;est tout un monde qui émerge, chaque objet ayant le potentiel d&#8217;engendrer un nouvel univers !</p>
<p>Le web nous a habitué à aller chercher nous-même l&#8217;information (&#8220;pull&#8221;), les communicateurs perpétueront cette tradition mais ils apporteront également un mécanisme de souscription permettant à l&#8217;information de venir à nous automatiquement (&#8220;push&#8221;). Aujourd&#8217;hui, on trouve déjà une telle mécanique à l&#8217;oeuvre grâce aux agrégateurs de flux <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_%28standard%29">Atom</a>/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS">RSS</a> et les communicateurs généraliseront cette idée en devenant des sortes d&#8217;hyper-agrégateurs. Il sera possible de s&#8217;abonner à tout objet que l&#8217;on souhaite suivre : un blog, une série TV, un championnat sportif, un fil d&#8217;actualité, les résultats scolaires de nos enfants, etc.</p>
<p>Mais un communicateur digne de ce nom se doit de proposer également un système de messagerie de personne à personne pour remplacer notre courrier électronique déjà vieillissant. Comment améliorer les choses en ce domaine ? À quoi ressemblera l&#8217;e-mail 2.0 ? Tout d&#8217;abord, je propose une solution radicale pour résoudre définitivement le problème du spam, il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;interdire les mailings, ni plus ni moins. Il faudrait donc limiter l&#8217;usage de la messagerie aux messages personnels, composés et envoyés par de vraies personnes et non par des robots, le fait d&#8217;être une véritable personne pouvant être vérifié au cas par cas, grâce à une <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha">CAPTCHA</a> demandée par le destinataire du message. Mais vous me répondrez peut-être que les robots aussi sont parfois amenés à nous envoyer des messages utiles. Ils nous signalent par exemple l&#8217;existence d&#8217;une nouvelle version d&#8217;un logiciel qu&#8217;on utilise, ou bien ils nous préviennent qu&#8217;un nom de domaine en notre possession va bientôt expirer. Mais quel que soit le cas de figure, on peut voir qu&#8217;il y a toujours une action préalable (un achat dans notre exemple) conduisant à une forme d&#8217;abonnement à quelque chose (suivi sur le produit acheté). On peut donc envisager de s&#8217;appuyer sur le mécanisme de souscription mentionné au paragraphe précédent pour recevoir de tels messages. Des messages pouvant cette fois être envoyés automatiquement par des robots autorisés, grâce à une souscription qu&#8217;on aura soi-même demandée et qu&#8217;on pourra donc annuler à tout moment.</p>
<p>Enfin, une dernière idée me semble importante, c&#8217;est la possibilité d&#8217;adresser des messages aux objets en plus des personnes. On a vu plus haut qu&#8217;il était possible d&#8217;ajouter des objets un peu partout, y compris à l&#8217;intérieur des objets ne nous appartement pas, il s&#8217;agissait alors d&#8217;objets publics, les commentaires d&#8217;un blog par exemple. Mais il est tout à fait envisageable de pouvoir également ajouter des objets privés, visibles par nous et par le possesseur de l&#8217;objet destinataire. Or, un objet visible par deux personnes ressemble étrangement à un message vous ne trouvez pas ? C&#8217;est en tout cas ainsi que fonctionnera la messagerie intégrée aux communicateurs, il sera possible de déposer des messages sur n&#8217;importe quel objet&#160;! Pour répondre à une offre d&#8217;emploi, on déposera par exemple notre CV directement sur l&#8217;offre concernée, pour poser une question à propos d&#8217;un produit, il suffira de déposer notre message sur ledit produit.</p>
<p>Tout cela est passionnant mais je dois malheureusement m&#8217;arrêter ici sous peine de faire fuir même les plus courageux de mes lecteurs. Je reviendrai bientôt (pas après six mois c&#8217;est promis !) pour écrire la troisième, et vraisemblablement, la dernière partie de l&#8217;introduction aux communicateurs. J&#8217;aborderai alors les dimensions géographiques et temporelles du nouveau web et j&#8217;espère avoir également l&#8217;occasion de vous parler de l&#8217;architecture technique, très orientée P2P, sur laquelle les communicateurs s&#8217;appuieront pour fonctionner.</p>
