  4. IBM’s idea of social email is email in context, not email made social

    Somewhere, someone is building the successor to email, and it is social

    Imagine a social tool in which an ongoing email thread — for example with a business customer or prospect — could be treated as a social object, like a document with several sections. Social email users could share that object with others in their workgroup, for example, annotating the thread, and assigning someone in the group to follow-up with the customer. In a sense this would be treating email as the lowest common communication channel — one that doesn’t require adoption of some new tool — while the workgroup would be communicating among themselves at the highest common communication channel: a social coordinative tool in which email is content, not context.

  8. I forgot to publish this before facebook’s recent announcement but i suppose this makes it more important than ever:

    Page posts and new recommendation modules appear in Facebook’s Music Feed

    These changes make the Music dashboard more compelling for users and help artists and music venues get more of their content seen. It also indicates Facebook’s further interest in offering users specialized feeds. Last month, Facebook began testing Pages Feed, a separate stream of updates from pages users Like and sponsored content from some pages they aren’t connected to. There’s also a standalone Games Feed. Facebook could eventually offer similar feeds for other categories like sports, movies or shopping. As people share more activity through Open Graph apps, they generate a lot of data that isn’t always relevant for the main News Feed, but might be interesting or useful in another context, such as a category-specific feed or dashboard. For instance, Facebook has begun applying check-ins and other location data to its Nearby feature that helps users find places to go from their mobile phone.

  14. Marketing through music is a relatively new advertising theme. That being said, experts in neuroscience and emotion studies are being called upon more and more as sales consultants in a variety of venues including hotels, restaurants, and major retailers. Previous studies have shown increases in sales in resultants when the right music is carefully selected; one test conducted by marketing professor Ronald E. Milliman exhibited an 11.6% sales increase when up-tempo music was played during the lunch hour.
