iPhone Ennui - Get Over It
When Apple announced the iPhone 4s today, I had a mini-meltdown.
“How DARE they!” I thought. “What ever happened to innovation? Excitement? This is ALL you can offer me? Yawn.”
And I went on to pout for a good hour or so.
And then I thought about it.
Go back to …1993. Email? Not unless you were a comp sci major who knew how to use UNIX (or lie about knowing how to use it to get an email account at University. Ahem.) What about…the Internet? When you had to do a term paper could you just hop online from your dorm room for research? No. You spent the day before the paper was due a semester slaving in a library over outdated books. Mobile phones? That meant a phone with a really long cord. It was mobile. Now go to 2005. Go back to 2003. There’s this thing called an iPod. Peer2Peer. Keep going. YouTube. Facebook. Twitter. FourSquare. iPod Touch, iPhone. Apple TV. iPad.
If you were to REALLY consider the changes in our world from the day you were born to right now, your head would explode.
As I got over my tantrum about iPhone 4S I thought about it a little more. And then I read “Where Did The Magic Go” by Matt Galligan and had to hang my head in shame for a bit. He’s right. My iPhone/smartphone has not only changed the way I communicate, it’s changed the way I do…almost everything. In some ways, it’s a little scary. In others, astoundingly good.
So if you are still feeling bitter, check out Matt’s post and…well, get over it. We’re in for an absolutely amazing ride.

Innovation in a spiky world. Note the tallest spike - not in the US. Note the second tallest spike…um, not in the US either. The third tallest spike…ah, well, you get the picture. We lag. Alot.

TED takes the foundation of TED conferences - a wide range of speakers who address a specific topic in a maximum of 18 minutes “in the most innovative and engaging way they can” - and brings it to the digital publishing platform with TED Books:
“Shorter than traditional books, TED Books run less than 20,000 words each - long enough to explain a powerful idea, but short enough to be read in a single setting.”
At the moment, TED Books are only available for the Kindle or through Kindle Apps, and cost $2.99 each.

Media Bistro highlights Lars Bastholm’s…ah…feedback to Ogilvy NY creatives regarding their digital product. The CCO/chief digital creative officer is quite clear on how he feels and has no qualms about telling his team how it needs to be done.
As any good leader would do, he shares some examples curated by Google Creative Labs to provide his team with some guidance.
Wonder if we will be seeing some fresh new faces at Ogilvy in the near future?
