Openness Videos

My talk on the next 5 years in Social Media: the world is becoming a social OS, why conversation is the only way forward, the extreme Reputation Economy, social media = CRM, the shift to open ecosystems rather than closed egosystems.. and much more.

Produced by Freedom Lab in Amsterdam (see http://tinyurl.com/dxcxu8) this is nice video that juxtaposes some sound bytes from an interview with me with some cool graphics, ticker-text animations, and illustrations. Topics: mostly about media and the future of content. Distribution is no longer a business for media companies. Why Open Licensing is so important. The move from selling copies to selling access - how will that be monetized? How will content be curated, recommended and then... monetized by the Creators?

This is a video of my speech I held at the RSA as part of an event on April 8 2009, entitled "New Media Futures: what next for content and creativity" Topics: The internet is radically disrupting most of the traditional content distribution and selling models, starting with music and games, followed by TV, film, books and print publishing. Once everyone is always-on, mobile and hyper-connected, and everything is available everywhere, how will content be created, distributed, marketed, consumed, and paid for? Who will do what, for whom, and how will the traditional players such as broadcasters, record labels, publishers and distributors adapt? If new players, starting with telecoms, device makers, advertisers and brands, indeed move into the content business, what will be their challenges and opportunities? Given the challenging financial climate, how do we reconcile the need to reward enterprise and secure sustainable revenue streams, with the expectations and demands of the freeconomics generation? What kind of legal, regulatory and cultural framework do we need to ensure that this new eco-system of creators, consumers and intermediaries generates more benefits for all involved?

From IT/Media Conversations : http://tinyurl.com/5w6l8f Auguts 2007 50 minutesOn The Future of Media: Gerd Leonhard expands on the key topics introduced in his first book "The Future of Music" while escalating the debate out of the music realm and into media at large. He addresses the single most important issue underlying many debates about the future of media: who controls what, why, when, and where, and how can digital content still generate revenues when most of the traditional ways of controlling its flow ( i.e., distribution) are no longer available.
