Hi Mike,

I didn't know you were going to be at Etel or I would have organised for you to meet with one of my clients Tim Panton the lead developer of Mexuar Communications (www.Mexuar.com) who gave a speech at one of the sessions on the Future of Voice.

Talk about everyone being connected, Mexuar have a java application that turns any web page into a softphone enabling you to call me with a simple point and click (check it out on www.cognation.net/contact)

We also have a number of websites who feel user generated text content/forums is fine but to jump forward into the next generation of 'interactive' communities are using Mexuar Corraleta as 24x7 live voice chat sessions - kind of like the old party line telephone example.....browse to your favourite football teams web site and talk using a headset and microphone with anyone else visiting the site at the same time. (Skype have Skype live which is similar but requires a downloaded executable and then subsequent configuration, this is much more spontaneous and real time).

I guess the next big thing is there will always be a next big thing.


Cheers,

Hi, I don't see how you can call this newsletter 'the fourth estate' when it has nothing to do with the definition of the term. It's quite misleading

©hris Simon-Bracket Boys-14 April-2007-Sydney….
2.0 is just an easy term to use and is as old as ‘them online hills’! So I think the term still serves well as a rich community and social networking thing on any device! A thing where everyone is having fun and, hopefully, making money as part of the fun! So you calling Threadless a manufacturing business is exactly what it is and what a great one! Great, I think, because it makes ‘the better 2.0’ easier to explain. Fashion trend rated and submitted by consumers or users; rewards; competition and this amazing new invention…..WOW!.......called supply and demand. I happened upon Threadless goodness knows how long ago.......Well
before ‘happening’ on your latest review on my hotmail, which I don’t get to that often nowadays!….But-as usual-you write eloquently about the ‘why of now’ and I thank you for that. I admire how this manufacturing business has reached cult status. Not just the blogs. music, pics….Just ‘getting it right’…Like T-Shirts will always ‘get it right’ and T-Shirts are the vernacular. And if you get vernacular right-you get it! I don’t want to be controversial here, but I’d prefer some of my Brackets’ appearing at new Threadless openings, rather than in Second Life, (but still with respect to SL ‘n our M-Verse Bracks). Threadless also seems to sing our mantra which is SEE ME. RATE ME. SHARE ME. SEND ME™…And check back folks, yes we did write and © worldwide first! However, I would need to consult about what happens ‘outside’ or ‘after’ the brilliant navigation and interaction on the ‘inside’. Design-art, etc can always be awesome on-screen…But what happens in the washing machine or in the laundry?….How cool is the fit?…I personally don’t own one of their designs yet….(YET) But I’ve crossed corners of the Earth to get the right T-Shirt, (for me and many others) and paid big….But “boy” if it got f……in the wash-that was the end “of my art” and that was the end of my customer loyalty to that “one limited edition”….But-I’m sure-these guys have got the after sales thing sorted. It’s a thriving-seemingly win win model. Many of “the designers” who just get exposure go on to get fashion label contracts…So there’s that element as well. I “sense” that it began with a more creative audience and that begats or inspires other creative audiences and then that “brings out the designer” in audiences who never knew they could…..CULT-CULT-CULT-UGC-UGC….I love it. Submitting ideas, scoring designs, customer care, loyalty, rewards, songs, merchandise- truly understanding interaction. And at all the ‘2.0 orientated’-UGC UK and Malaysia Seminars we have covered this last first quarter-we still hold fast on what we’ve always said….Navigation is getting there-interaction is having something to do when you get there. It needs a few mobile clips though! I remember what ‘me old bass player’ said, who got fired from ‘Adam and The Ants’, before Adam fired everyone else, including himself! (You see-some Pop Stars are just like advertising people!) Anyway, this old bass player who was always much younger than any living Ants (or gorilla!) turned round to ‘the boys’ once and said….”You supply the threads and I’ll supply the bass”! It was all about 2.0 then as well! I love this site, but I still also love video, games, animation, txt, pics, IM, art, music, brand, environment and lots and lots and lots of other 2.0 that has rich community, social networking, fun, environmental results and…………makes money!

Much of the bill is a blank check, inviting regulators to add whatever agenda is blowing in the wind at the moment. Need to punish someone?
