WOW Hollywood2020.net Blogs NYC LIVE With Joyce Schwarz, Media Futurist

So much fun to be staying near TIME SQUARE in NYC for a few days...so much going on. Did you know Time Square is closing to traffic i.e. cars next weekend and it appears to be a permanent move to attract more tourists -- at least that was the word from my towncar driver who drove me in from Kennedy airport yesterday.

 Lots of controversy but there is so much to see at Time Square now it makes sense just as many other cities such as Montreal and Toronto have 'walk-only areas in their downtown. Here are just a couple of articles that explain more. I'll just have to spend some time tonight or tomorrow taking pix of the new visuals at Time Square including the great M&M billboard with the M&M's jumping around into designs like kaleidoscopes.

Looking Back to the Future: Five Trends for Media in 2008 to Thrive/Not Just Survive from Media Futurist/author Joyce Schwarz

By Joyce Schwarz, blogging at www.hollywood2020.net ....Okay, since it's the evening before moderating another Digital Hollywood Conference (been doing it since 1995 or so) I thought it would be fun to go back to last year at CES '08 and see what I forecast then as the 5 ways to thrive/not just survive in '08.

Here they are -- how do you think I did in my outlook? Check the date -- that's January 09, 2008 LAST YEAR. Could I have done better by just saying "TWITTER" Iphone, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter?  

Joyce Schwarz 5 Trends to Thrive/Not Just Survive in 2008 & beyond in the new Hollywood.....Here's a brief recap of those trends.

 

Copyright Joyce Schwarz, JCOM, www.joycecom.com. For reference in your own articles, please email joyceschwarz (at) gmail.com for permission.

1)FRUITION OF 'CUSTOM-TAINMENT" --- customizing entertainment, info-tainment and edu-tainment 24/7/365 anytime/anyplace. Personalized content and customized cross-platform. Examples include: United-- first airline to tout iPod integration with their IFE system...Nero signs agreement with TIVO -- TIVO on the PC....Autonet Mobile Introduces New Consumer Internet Content Storage...Comcast--Fancast.com entertainment access across TV, online, DVD or theatres.

2) YOU AS THE STAR, YOU'RE IN THE PIX, AD, GAME...finally, you're the star-- not just your video on Youtube.com or your tunes on your Myspace page..you're in the pix-- with your avata and/or your "real' scanned image. Examples: Zcam, 3DV Systems, Virtual Heroes, Primesense.com, Organic Motion, BigStage.com.

3) Gesture Computing/control/signage..moving in on augmented reality -- examples include: GestureTek, Gesture Xtreme, Airpoint-hand-tracking unit, Groundspeak's Wheigo.cvom and Garmin GPS, beyond geocaching, beyond waymarking, Did you know geocaches have grown from 75 to 490, 000?

4) Text Messaging 2.0, text marketing & presence...rise of the mobile as controller/mobile as remote/mobile as coupon, mobile as credit card. Examples: Barcast-- public signage with text-messaging on a bar network, Ping Mobile & Cox mobile coupon campaign, AOL Buddy, AIM Mobile and AOL my pages for mobile. Blue sky ideas-- blogscroll -- text highlights from blogs, movie reviews, etc -- scroll across mobile/handhelds, Twitter with pix, virtual 3M notes & more .

5) Social media embedded into content, not vice/.versa. Until now we've seen content embedded into social media ie widgets for Myspace.com, widgets for Facebook etc. I see the rise of Social media embedded into content -- Facebook voting app at end of movie (vote with mobile/results on facebook real-time). Linked In-- contact info/bio/zip code into regional biz mags online or at trade show booths-- like CES -- who do you know at that company...OR social media AS CONTENT -- aggregate  widgets of programming -- create your own EPG (electronic program guide) create your own portal, design your own Fancast.com pages.

By Joyce Schwarz, Hollywood2020.net covering the new media industry with more than 300 articles & 6 books since 1990.

I spent about 45 minutes looking at the agenda and looking up bios on speakers at the OMMA conference sponsored by Media Post in Hollywood Monday and Tuesday of this week. 

 Cory Treffiletti, President/ Managing Director, Catalyst:SF who has been on several of my panels @ Digital Hollywood is the emcee for his conference. Media Post the conference organizers call this OMMA Global because it covers several of their peer groups in these categories. You can see more about the event at: OMMA --registration info

Online Media, Marketing & Advertising: My call on it is that OMMA is worth going especially on Tuesday when I see lots of new players who are creating what just may be a new playing field for OMMA which stands for Online Media, Marketing & Advertising. Because of course it's not just online now that matters -- it's beyond the box or with the new boxes that are coming this year that will create the next-generation of Broadband and Internet video distribution anywhere, anytime & anyplace. Which is something I've been talking about for 15 years.

Monday -- is a good overview for anyone new to the industry with Comscore, Mahalo and several of the top OMMA agencies speaking.

Predictions on Future of TV & Tech from way back in 1992 by Joyce Schwarz, Hollywood columnist, media futurist

BY JOYCE SCHWARZ, @Hollywood2020.net  

WOW, when people ask how long I've been in the Internet and new media business, I often hear my colleagues say "Joyce Schwarz was in new media before it was new media".

Why because I truly saw it all coming in the future! It was the perfect fit for my varied background in journalism (on the staff of New York magazines), in advertising with major agencies like Foote Cone & Belding as an executive, specializing in new product/company launches and first of its kind products! Plus a masters degree in film from USC's School of Cinema & Entertainment & hands on production experience in the areas of TV, Film & CD ROM promo.

A few people look at me skeptical and ask -- was I really there and I often feel like I need to PROVE I WAS around in 90 and by 92 was not onlly writing about the new tech but producing and hosting a cable TV SHOW called "TURNED ON HOLLYWOOD" about Hollywood meets Silicon Valley in Los Angeles.

Sorting through some old files, I found a newsletter I had started back in 1992 called LA INSIDE/OUT and I saw that it talks about the first TV SHOW of TURNED ON HOLLYWOOD and gives some fascinating stats. The newsletter and show both had their debut in June, 1992 just after I conducted the very first workshops on new media for the DGA (Directors Guild of America WEST) and then was flown to NYC to do another private workshop for the DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA EAST.

Enjoy these JPEGS and if you want more info on what was happening in 1992 -- email Joyceschwarz (at) gmail.com and check out my firm JCOM and see what we're doing in 2009! www.joycecom.com 200 articles & 6 books later!
