This video by MOCOM2020 clearly and convincingly outlines how mobile is the next game changer.

Lessons we can learn from “Ways To Better Conversation (1950)”
“How to have a conversation” applies to today’s social media strategies:
A conversation is like a volleyball game. There is a equal back and forth but if you don’t participate, you drop the ball. So for today’s brand managers I say join the conversation and keep in mind the following rules:
Be courteous
Include everyone
Respect others opinions
Contribute
Stick to the subject
Be a good listener
Who would of thought a film from the 1950s could apply to today?

I have been blogging since 2006 (@u-ska.com) but in 2007 I started reading a lot about the idea of “the Conversational Architect”. A few articles really inspired me to start this blog about conversations and engagement. It took a whole year of thinking and reading before I started to understand my role. There are many blogs that focus on strategy and I wanted to approach it from the practitioner.
My goal is to report on real world projects and campaigns. I am very interested in the process and practice of creating these campaigns for conversations.
I need to give credit and/or kudos (or props) to the following people and blogs for their endless devotion to writing good content and keeping me inspired to finally launch this blog.
“It’s the Conversation Economy, Stupid” – This is the article that awoken me to really think about design and engagement.
