Two injured in Pyrmont as car veers onto footpath
Hair-raising weather hits state
The winners of the April Challenge is Matthew Senior and junior Philip Zaunders. "The winning photo by Matthew Senior was exceptional. A sad, stark study of a homeless person sleeping in a cemetary reminds us of the plight of those less fortunate than ourselves. As a judge you look for pictures that will have an emotional impact, and move you. A photograph that will stay in your mind, Matthew's graphic picture does that." Leigh Henningham Photo Editor The Age.

I have developed an application under Ubuntu using PyGTK that allows a user to drag a file into a Label widget. This is Python 2.7. The applicable code is as follows:
import pygtk
import gtk
w = gtk.Window()
w.drag_set_set(0, [], 0)
w.connect('drag_motion', motion_cb)
w.connect('drag_drop', drop_cb)
w.connect('drag_data_received', got_data_cb)
w.connect('destroy', lambda w: gtk_main_quit())
l = gtk.Label()
l.set_text('Drag File Here')
def motion_cb(wid, context, x, y, time):
context.drag_status(gtk.gdk.ACTION_COPY, time)
return True
def drop_cb(wid, context, x, y, time):
wid.drag_get_dta(context, context.targets[-1], time)
return True
def got_data_cb(wid, context, x, y, data, info, time):
# the following line returns a URI? I want the absolute file path
print data.get_text()
So the
got_data_cb function has a
gtk.SelectionData item. When I call
get_text() it gives me a URI. From Python 2.6 on, there is also a
get_uris() function I spy as well. How do I get the absolute file path returned instead of this uri? My goal is to run an external program using the file selected by the user as a command line argument to the program (I already have this part working except that I need to pass the correct path for the file selected by the user).

We believe G-d wrote the Tora It says it is a great sin for a man to sleep with a man. It says to keep Kosher and shabbat. Reform rabbis break the torahs rules many times per day. Why should they have a license to convert people to something they dont believe in namely the Torah and Talmud.It doesn't really make sense.

Atlanta's OutWrite Bookstore And Coffeehouse Closes Its Doors
Jan 26, 2012
Just a few months ago, in our salute to LGBT bookstores, we toasted Atlanta's OutWrite Books and mentioned how its owners were going to have to close its current location in exchange for one with cheaper rent.
Well, it happened: Tuesday night, the 15-year-old landmark at the corner of 10th Street and Piedmont held its "Last Tango," with longtime customers and celebrated queer authors celebrating the shop's storied history.
But there's no word on a new location.
On Wednesday, the Georgia Voice reported:
Owner Philip Rafshoon confirmed the store is closing at its 10th and Piedmont location today. He said he could not say much more at this point. He said at the "Last Tango" event Tuesday night that there is no new location picked out yet. The store is open today and selling all of its infrastructure, including bookshelves, tables and chairs.
The Atlanta City Council presented Rafshoon with a proclamation crediting the store for its service to the community. Below is a clip of Rafshoon thanking customers, neighbors and friends for their support over the years.
We hope OutWrite rises again, bigger and better.

The comic was written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Cully Hamner.
It was a three-book series that was published in 2003 and 2004. It centers on a former black-ops CIA agent who is now living a quiet life in retirement. Things change when a high-tech assassin appears on the scene with every intention of killing him.

Building Britain's gateway to space
An official report suggests that spaceplanes could be taking off from UK soil as soon as 2018. We review the plans.
When I was a lad, even British space fiction authors knew that rockets didn't take off from the United Kingdom: they launched from somewhere in the Australian outback called Woomera. Now it seems that the UK government and its space-related agencies might be about to turn such received knowledge on its head.The announcement just prior to the 2014 Farnborough airshow that a government-backed review had identified eight potential sites for a UK spaceport could easily have been dismissed as one of those strange media stories that come up in the summer 'silly season'. But this one was justified by a major 'Space Day Conference' on the second day of the airshow, attended by such luminaries as Aviation Minister Robert Goodwill, UK Space Agency CEO David Parker and ESA director general Jean-Jacques Dordain. Moreover, it was accompanied by the publication of a Civil Aviation Authority report entitled 'UK government review of commercial spaceplane certification and operation', which made it seem a bit less 'Buck Rogers' than tabloid headlines might have suggested.
But are we really going to see rocket gantries sprouting up across the UK's green and pleasant land? Clearly not. If a spaceport is built, it will be positioned, like all launch sites, well away from population centres, at a coastal location and, if politicians have their way, as far away from London as possible. Indeed, the eight sites in the CAA report met all three criteria, the closest to London being Llanbedr Airport on the Welsh coast. The only other site not in Scotland was an airport in Newquay, Cornwall.
It is important to note that the eight represent only a "potential" selection that meet the basic safety, meteorological, environmental and infrastructure criteria stipulated by the study. Indeed, several would require runway extensions to provide the 3,000m believed necessary for spaceplane operations, while others could eventually be rejected for a multiplicity of other 'local' or 'political' reasons. But as David Parker, speaking at the Farnborough conference, was at pains to point out, this is only the first phase of the programme and other sites might be suggested later.
Of course, site selection is an important factor in the development of a spaceport, but whether or not the UK actually gets one will depend more on political will. That's a bit difficult to gauge with a general election due in 2015, and even more so with the recent departure of de facto Space Minister David Willetts. Having been Minister for Universities and Science since May 2010 – and become the 'darling' of the space industry – Willetts was replaced in July by Greg Clark, MP.
That said, the fact that UK space is on a rising trajectory makes the spaceport announcement more believable than it would have been a couple of years ago. Consider the context: a 25 per cent increase in annual contributions to the European Space Agency; the inauguration of new ESA facilities and even a Lockheed Martin presence at Harwell; the appointment of Britain's first official astronaut, Tim Peake; the £60m of UK government funding for development of Reaction Engines' Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine for the proposed Skylon spaceplane.
Space tourism
Now, while airbreathing spaceplanes operating from a UK runway are decidedly long-term, the concept, nay business, of sub-orbital tourism is not. Virgin Galactic, which has banked $250,000 deposits from more than 600 budding space tourists, is due to make its first flight from the New Mexico spaceport later this year, while its competitor XCOR plans to field its Lynx spaceplane in 2015. By the time the prospective UK spaceport is up and running, these providers will be looking for additional places of business that could include the UK.
Beyond that, we should remember that Virgin is also developing its own satellite launcher, LauncherOne, which will be deployed from the same carrier-aircraft as the sub-orbital spacecraft – the main difference being that satellites are, by definition, destined for orbit. In theory, a UK spaceport sited on the coast of northern Scotland would be ideally suited to this type of application, especially for small imaging satellites launched northwards into a polar (sun-synchronous) orbit. Through my best pair of rose-tinted spectacles, I can imagine a world where Stornaway becomes a major hub for sub-orbital tourist flights to view the aurora borealis, the deployment of satellite imaging constellations such as Google's Skybox and, perhaps one day, commercial trans-polar flights to the antipodes.
Of course, such speculation is premature on the basis of a printed report and a runway that is currently half a kilometre too short... which is one reason why taciturn government employees at Farnborough's Space Day conference wilted under a barrage of negative questioning from one American space reporter. What about environmental concerns? What about US regulations that restrict the export of technology? What if somebody dies on a mission and their family sues for compensation?
Catherine Mealing-Jones, director of growth, applications and EU programmes at the UK Space Agency, replied that the spaceport initiative is in an exploratory phase and that environmental concerns and local consultation were part of the next phase, or "questions for the future". Regarding the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, she said: "We need to keep the right side of ITAR, but these are early days."
As for questions of liability, George Nield, associate administrator for commercial space transportation at the Federal Aviation Authority, stepped into the breach. "Spaceflight operators are not common carriers," he said, so passengers "know they are taking a risk and have to sign to say they understand this". From a legal point of view, he added, "if informed consent is given, there can be no expectation of suing afterwards".
It fell to Andy Green, chair of the Innovation and Growth Strategy Steering Board, to highlight the positive aspects of UK spaceport development from an industry perspective. We should not forget, he said, that in terms of satellite manufacturing and user equipment, the size of the UK space industry "has doubled since 2007, despite a global recession". He said the announcement of a UK spaceport for 2018 showed that "we are beginning to move, indeed think, in front of the curve". We are seeing a "democratisation of space", he continued, and "the dream is that we should lead in this democratisation".
Finally, Green made a "tribute to David Willetts in his absence" which triggered an astonishing round of applause from the audience. It's not often a government minister receives an ovation in absentia, but this just goes to show the standing of Willetts in the space community.
His replacement will have to go some to occupy that pedestal, but minister Robert Goodwill had a few good phrases in his quiver. "We are at the dawn of a second space revolution," he said, opining that the UK is "the first European country to take spaceplane applications seriously". The ambition, he concluded, "is for the UK to capture 10 per cent of the global space market by 2030".
Sitting in the audience, one could be forgiven for thinking of those post-war sci-fi epics. But I knew that the concept of a UK spaceport had truly entered the public consciousness when, a few days later, it came up in the satirical TV quiz programme 'Mock the Week'. Now I know it's going to happen! *

An expanded view of influence marketing measurement
Apr 18th
When I wrote Return On Influence in 2012, the term "influence marketing" wasn't even on the radar. At the end of the book I boldly predicted that within a few years, this would become a mainstream marketing channel.
Undoubtedly it has. Research I did for a client indicates that 85 percent of advertising and marketing agencies now have some sort of influence outreach capability and boutique influence marketing agencies are popping up like flowers after a spring rain.
But does it work?
In a recent analysis which tried to determine "are professional influencers impactful?" my friend Christopher Penn cast doubt on the tactic.
Through a hand-picked sample of eight paid and eight organic influencers, he found that the paid influencers generated about nine times the amount of content of an organic influencer, but just a fraction of the engagement.
He showed that links shared by organic influencers garner significantly more shares and clicks than links shared by paid influencers.
I questioned if this was the best way to do an influence analysis and in a follow-up post, Christopher acknowledged that Twitter is a poor predictor of market reality due to demographic bias, but explained that it's basically the only social media data we have available these days.
The reality of influence marketing is not Twitter
Indeed, Twitter mentions and follower counts may be the least effective way to measure anything when it comes to true influence. So WHERE is the power of influence marketing occurring … if it is happening at all?
In a recent post, I explained that there are eight benefits of influence marketing:
- Reach/Awareness (especially when yours is limited)
- Research (since these people are generally experts in their field)
- Social proof, meaning there is power in aligning with a trusted brand
- Content ignition — an influencer can get content shared more broadly than many brands
- Site authority and SEO (through effective links)
- Strategic leverage because true influence is a scarce resource
- Cost savings — Research shows impressions generated by influencers compare favorably to traditional advertising measures
- Authentic advocacy can be established as the influencer begins to know and understand the product and the company.
Even if Christopher's Twitter analysis were representative, his research would only scratch the surface of these potential benefits.
Let's look at how influence marketing works in real life.
Influence marketing in action
I will use myself as an example because that is the easiest example I can provide! But this is probably a representative slice of the potential of influence marketing if it is done well over time.
I have been working with the Canadian analytics company gShift for several years. Some of our activities have included:
- They've sponsored the Marketing Companion podcast and my book The Content Code
- I visited them at their site in Barrie, Ontario, where I got to know their team and their products
- We have seen each other socially at trade shows, speeches and other events
- We have collaborated on content projects.
Let's look at some of the true benefits of influence marketing beyond Twitter to see how this works in the real world.
Awareness — Before gShift sponsored my podcast, their brand recognition was relatively low in the marketing world. Today, when they go to conferences and trade shows, people come up to them and say they heard of them through the podcast.They have also connected with other industry influencers through me. We were able to quantify new awareness through hits to a dedicated landing page.
Research — When gShift was developing a new product, they asked me to give it a trial and provide feedback. I also participated in a brainstorming session at their office and continue to provide them feedback and ideas on an on-going basis.
Social proof — gShift has asked me to provide quotes and testimonies for their efforts, which I am happy to do because their work is amazing. Perhaps simply reading this post today may spur some people to check them out.
Content ignition — On content on which we have collaborated, the social shares that come from my network may be more than 500 percent greater what they can generate through their entire network of employees.
SEO — Through the podcast sponsorship and joint content efforts I have provided dozens of backlinks from my high-authority site.
Strategic leverage — How many companies will I work with? Very few. gShift recognizes the benefit of a long-term relationship because I am a trusted resource in their marketplace and that is a scarce commodity.
Authentic advocacy — When our relationship began, I knew very little about gShift but over time as I got to know their products and people, I became impressed with their vision, capabilities, and organization. In fact, I am authentically enthusiastic about what they do. The company's products are now being mentioned in my talks, workshops, and college classes — not because they paid me to do so, but because I like what they do and see how their technology can help people.
Not only am I an advocate for gShift, they have been an advocate for me that has led to additional speaking and consulting engagements.
Another view of influence marketing measurement
With the help of Dr. Jonah Berger, the Keller Fay Group conducted research on what they called "micro-influencers," (I referred to them as the Citizen Influencers in my book). These folks are not traditional celebrities, but knowledgeable, passionate experts seen as a trusted source through the content they create and share.
Instead of relying on Twitter data, Berger dug into field research that included personal interviews to find out what sort of benefits were being realized from influence marketing.
The study showed that these influencers have up to 22.2 times more conversations each week regarding recommendations on what to buy versus an average consumer.
On the other side of the equation, 82 percent of consumers reported they were highly likely to follow a recommendation made by an influencer.
"Many marketers today try to use celebrities as their influencer marketing solution, but they are missing out on a much bigger opportunity," said Brad Fay, COO of the Keller Fay Group. "Our research shows that real life influencers who are passionate about what they are recommending have significantly more buying conversations, and consumers are more likely to act on their recommendations."
Additional key findings from the study included:
- Not only do these influencers have more buying conversations, they are more direct in their recommendations with 74 percent encouraging someone to "buy it or try it" compared to 66 percent of the general population who encouraged those actions in their recommendations.
- 87 percent of the buying recommendations they make are happening face to face.
- According to people receiving advice, influencers were seen as more impactful compared to an average person based on the following characteristics: more credible and believable (94 percent vs. 83 percent), more knowledgeable (94 percent vs. 84 percent) and better at explaining how the product works or could be used (92 percent vs. 83 percent).
The implications for influence and measurement
Clearly, the potential benefits of influence marketing extend far beyond a few well-placed tweets. What does this mean to you if you are pursuing a path of influence marketing?
Obviously you need to look beyond Twitter followers and mentions when determining an influence marketing strategy. In fact, that may be the WORST measure of true influence (due to the demographic bias and ability to game those measures). As the Berger research demonstrated — and as I illustrated from my own example — the true power of influence marketing is coming from:
- network connections of the individual
- long-term collaboration that results in authentic understanding and advocacy
- quality, trusted content that is seen and shared by a relevant audience
- face-to-face and word of mouth advocacy
Consider your goals. Which of the eight benefits of influence marketing aligns with what you need to achieve right now? What are the qualitative and quantitative measures that can show you are making progress (and there are a lot of options beyond Twitter!)?
If you break it down into the eight benefits of influence marketing and focus on measures aligned with those deliverables, it becomes a lot easier to prove, or disprove, the effectiveness of your influencer relationships.
I would like to make one last point about influence marketing and how to do it well.
Influence marketing provided unique and measurable long-term benefits for gShift because they didn't "pitch me." They weren't looking for a sponsored post or a backlink. They developed a sustained relationship with me over three years. The benefits continue to accrue for both sides because we're friends, and friends help friends.
Influencers are people. Don't pitch them, befriend them.
I hope this perspective has helped you think about influence marketing measurement in a new way. I would value learning from you and hearing your thoughts in the comment section.

Market networks bring businesses into the "enabling economy"
Mar 31st
At SXSW I became aware of a new marketing trend called "market networks." This new business model of an "enabling economy" seems to coming of age and I thought I would explore the idea.
Market networks represent a different way to do business compared to sites like Air BNB or Uber that simply aggregate demand. In that model, neither the seller nor the customer matter. An Uber driver doesn't know the customer and the customer doesn't know the driver. They may never connect again.
But what if the service provider and client DO matter? What if you want to do business with a very specific person?
Jonothan Yoffe, the founder of AnyRoad described how he got the idea for his travel-related market network. He paid $2,000 for a guided trip to hike up Mount Kilimanjaro. The guide he used was experienced and hard-working but only received $5 out of the $2,000 he paid for the trip.
Where did all the rest of that money go?
Marketing, service, insurance … sure. But the fact is, somebody other than the guide was profiting from the trek. It occurred to him that if you could aggregate all the fragmented professional services needed to run a business like this you could simplify the transaction and put more power (and profit) in the hands of small service providers.
Opportunities for these market networks exist wherever there are groups of service professionals supporting an industry vertical. Organizing this way could have a significant impact on how millions of people work and live, and how hundreds of millions buy services.
The key attributes of these companies:
- Combine the main elements of both networks and marketplaces
- Use SaaS workflow software to focus action around longer-term projects and relationships, not just a quick transaction (like Uber)
- Promote the service provider as a differentiated individual, helping to build long-term business benefits
- A market network elevates the person, their reputation, their value.
- Transaction fees are usually lowered and legal contracts are simplified
- Market networks have stronger retention and engagement than marketplaces
The AngelList (start-ups), Houzz (decorating), LiquidSpace (office space), and StyleSeat (salon services) are pioneering examples of successful market networks. Here are a few stories I heard at SXSW about how these market networks are operating.
StyleSeat is a beauty start-up in Silicon Valley. In the salon business, much of the profit will drain away from a hair stylist to pay fees, rent on a shared space, marketing, advertising, etc. By aggregating these services to help individual stylists, StyleSeat can direct more customers and profits their way.
Already 400,000 stylists have signed up and 10 million clients use the service every month. The start-up has succeeded entirely by word-of-mouth success.
As I mentioned, AnyRoad aggregates services for small businesses in the tourism industry. So many small business owners lose out because they don't know how to efficiently do marketing, SEO, customer service, etc. Creating a market network to aggregate these services greatly simplifies their workflow, and they can run their business from a smartphone app provided by AnyRoad.
AnyRoad is experiencing tremendous growth because they found that the "nodes" in their network started expanding the network as the tour guides connected to the concierges and agencies that generate their business.
On average, their customers are growing their business by 30 percent in the first month through access to new customers and markets.
Liquidspace is a market network for working space. The founder, Mark Gilbreath, discovered that leasing office space was generally an inflexible and complicated business.
The traditional real estate model does not work for most new businesses – a start-up might need space for days, then a month, and eventually a year or more to adjust to the dynamics in their business.
LiquidSpace rapidly signed up 50,000 companies in 800 cities and 5,000 venues as a marketplace for office space. One particular creative solution is to connect to hotels to lease unused rooms and meeting areas for temporary business space.
The company also offers a service to alert businesses when property in a certain area becomes available to most effectively connect supply and demand. You can also rent space in a very efficient way by implementing pre-negotiated, standard legal contracts.
Who loses
With any disruptive idea, not every company will benefit from this trend. Here are the types of companies that could lose:
- Those who collect fees as an intermediary
- Capitalists investing in brick and mortar services
- Marketplaces that are not providing value to the vendors, who are simply aggregating demand.
These market network business have the potential to disrupt traditional markets by doing something in an entirely new way. They are unburdened by the traditional confines of an industry and provide a value that is different from, and maybe even better than, the standard way. This new way might not be cheaper, but it is more flexible and immediate – for the user and the providers.

On Twitter's birthday: How Twitter changed my life
Mar 21st
Ten years ago today, Jack Dorsey sent out the first tweet. Twitter was nearly an afterthought in those early days, an outcropping from a video service Dorsey had a hand in starting. Despite protests from investors, the company launched officially July 15, 2006. Still, I like to think of this day as the "real" birth of the service.
It is no overstatement or social media hyperbole to say that Twitter has changed my life. Although I am known (somewhat?) for writing the best-selling book on Twitter, the platform has altered my path in profound ways.
I could spend days recounting the real personal and business benefits of Twitter, but allow me today to tell you one story, one of my favorites.
Twitter chatter
I signed on to Twitter in 2008 but didn't really become a power user until the following year. In fact, for six months I hated it. The first tweet I ever received was "It's 4 a.m." … pretty much confirming this was the stupidest thing I had ever seen.
But after a while I got in the flow and I used to love to look for my friends online each evening. One in particular was hard to miss, Amy Howell. Amy had a habit of ending every tweet with at least five exclamation points, a style I dubbed the "Exclaimy."
Amy was a natural networker and soon I was drawn into her circle of friends. In fact, she decided to hold an event in Memphis and bring all of these Twitter peeps together. I couldn't miss this and drove nine hours out of my way on a business trip just to attend.
Here are some the results of this ONE meeting with Twitter friends that fall day in 2010 …
The results
Amy Howell was the organizer of the event and we have been close friends ever since. We have collaborated on many projects. She was featured in two of my books and I was featured in her latest book Students in High Gear.
Anne Deeter Gallaher was the "Students" book co-author. Anne and her family have become close friends. She was responsible for hiring me to keynote her Social Media at Work Conference for five consecutive years. My annual trip to speak in Harrisburg has become a cherished time to see friends in that city like Dan Christ, Kathy Snavely, and Alan Brocious, who recently volunteered his time to teach my intern Google AdWords.
Billy Mitchell is the president of MLT Creative in Atlanta. Billy has been a dear friend and collaborator. His firm has created art for me and was a sponsor of this blog for many years. I supported his business through webinars, an ebook, consulting and speeches, including a keynote debut of my "Content Code" speech in Atlanta. At one of my speaking events at his creative campus I met Ted Wright, who became a key collaborator on a project I did for Adidas last year.
Glen Gilmore is a consultant and attorney in New Jersey. I helped Glen get a contract with McGraw-Hill (check out his indispensable book Social Media Law for Business) and a teaching position at Rutgers University. He has helped me with legal advice on a variety of issues.
Deb Weinstein is the very talented founder of the award-winning Strategic Objectives firm in Toronto. She recently helped me with a client project in Ontario and I'm meeting her for dinner next week to discuss new ways to work together.
Chris Brogan was the speaker at this first event. Chris has become a friend and he was featured prominently in my latest book The Content Code. We created a new video together just a few weeks ago exploring the idea of personal branding.
This group of friends got along so well in that first meeting that we decided to do it again the next year. I offered to host the group in Knoxville and had the idea that we could create some content together … maybe have a few talks and panels. I invited the public to attend … and 425 people showed up from 13 states.
This was the beginning of the Social Slam conference, a highly successful event I founded to highlight new social media marketing talent and provide world-class conference that was affordable. It drew 650 people from 25 states and five countries in its final year (I ended the conference when it grew so large that we could not easily maintain the volunteer format that kept ticket prices low).
The network of friends that coalesced around a few early tweets has created far-reaching business benefits that have touched thousands of other people, and it continues today.
This is just one of the many stories I could tell about the amazing things Twitter has accomplished in my life. Most of my most important business collaborators, customers, and friends started with an innocent tweet. But not everybody sees Twitter like I do, especially Wall Street.
In the past year there have been so many business problems at Twitter. Sometimes I wonder if the company really knows how powerful they are. Twitter is the most people-driven social media platform. None of Twitter's greatest innovations came from the company.
- The hashtag came from the people.
- Twitter chats were created by the people.
- Innovations that led to Twitter being a television voting mechanism didn't come from the company and neither did the Twitter-powered social revolutions. When governments announce that a leader has fallen on Twitter, it's hard to believe the best innovation that came from the company last year was "Moments" (yawn).
In my The Tao of Twitter book I refer to Twitter a "majestic random synergy." And so it is. You simply never know what's going to happen next. Twitter is changing the world.
So Happy Birthday Twitter. And thanks.

Three companies using IT for dramatic transformation
Mar 5th
I used to work for a big global company. Here was the management view of the IT department:
- It is the help desk
- It is a necessary evil
- It is a cost to be cut.
Of course, times have changed. Or … have they?
Tom Webster and I had a great discussion on our Marketing Companion podcast recently about what it means to be "digital." We discussed the fact that in many companies, the IT Department is still a "cost center" and not strategically integrated into marketing and sales functions.
Of course IT still "runs" things. Technology is kind of the blood coursing through our company's veins these days. But if that's ALL you believe, you're missing the most profound marketing opportunity since television.
Data centers don't need to be physical locations anymore. Offices don't need to be in a building. Communication with customers, students, and patients doesn't need to be face-to-face. A digitally transformed organization is re-invented, unhindered by limitations of processes, resources, and people.
Truly digital organizations don't collect data, they unleash it in ways that create new business models. As we will see in a moment, they can even use technology to make their business more interesting and fun.
Here are three examples of companies selling make-up, auto repair, and health check-ups that are not just using IT to run things, but to using IT for dramatic transformation.
I had lunch with some of my students recently and all they could talk about was how they loved Sephora, and they pulled out the app to show me. This cosmetics retailer's commitment to digital transformation is more than skin deep. Technology is driving growth, conversations, and customer delight.
My students used their app to show me how a certain shade of lipstick looked on me. I and I have to admit, it looked pretty damn good. They then shared my photo across their social media networks, much to their delight and my dismay.
But their app can do so much more, it is a virtual shopping assistant, beauty consultant, and loyalty program:
Sephora's commitment to technology is profound. They just opened a digital innovation lab in San Francisco.
Think about the implications for marketing transformation:
- Sephora is directly collecting customer data that can be used in hundreds of ways
- They have daily opportunity for product discovery and deals
- They're making cosmetics a conversational event
Firestone is best known for tires but they are also using big data to transform their automotive repair centers.In this case, technology is where the rubber meets the road.
Repairing cars is still as much as an art as a science. There can be multiple causes for problems and even the process of FINDING the problem can be expensive. Firestone Service Centers fix millions of cars each year and they are using data from these repairs to create a diagnostic system that can reveal the highest-probable cause of a problem for the specific make, model and year of any car, based on thousands of similar repairs.
The technician can access a simple interface to determine the most likely problem, based on a statistical analysis, and an efficient workflow (including the right tools and techniques) to get the customer back in action for the least amount of money and the shortest amount of time.
The company is also using this data, and the repair record of your car to create a personalized car care app.
Think about the beauty of this. Firestone is leveraging their size + vast data collection for new customer value. The company repairs a lot of cars and they are using insights from Big Data as a point of competitive differentiation.
Health Net Connect
Health Net Connect is using technology to completely re-imagine healthcare delivery. Their technology solution enables doctors to conduct complete physical exams remotely, cutting hospital readmissions by as much as 70 percent.
Patients receive a touch-screen tablet (with a built-in video camera, microphone and speaker and a range of wireless capabilities) that can help doctors monitor their condition without a personal visit.
The tablet has the capability to provide blood pressure and glucometer readings for monitoring hypertension and diabetes; a four-lead electrocardiogram; a weight/BMI scale; a portable oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation levels in the blood; a spirometer for evaluating lung capacity; an ear thermometer; and a high-definition, advanced otoscope with various attachments to capture and transmit eye, ear, nose and throat images.
This is driving dramatic cost-savings and customer convenience. The technology enables nurses to see as many as 20 patients a day via virtual house calls, compared with just four in-home visits a day if they were driving.
What are your favorite examples of how companies are using technology to change things, not just run things?

What is 'Trade Deficit'
Trade deficit is an economic measure of a negative balance of trade in which a country's imports exceeds its exports. A trade deficit represents an outflow of domestic currency to foreign markets.
Next Up
BREAKING DOWN 'Trade Deficit'
Economic theory dictates that a trade deficit is not necessarily a bad situation because it often corrects itself over time. However, a deficit has been reported and growing in the United States for the past few decades, which has some economists worried. This means that large amounts of the U.S. dollar are being held by foreign nations, which may decide to sell at any time. A large increase in dollar sales can drive the value of the currency down, making it more costly to purchase imports.

David Cameron: This World AIDS Day we must renew our determination to save lives at home and abroad
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
BUT, dear politicians! Capitalism , big business and pharmaceutical industry have far too much increased the price for efficient medicaments, which is able to prevent this virus from being deadly. This fact endangers the life of millions of people in poor countries. Pull yourself together !
"Cheap" generic drugs to treat AIDS in the year 2000, had a price of 100 USD .Enough for one years reatment. Today the price is 10000 USD-for one year. Rich countries' greed.
So long as you don't want to collect benefits while you have AIDS, of course. If that's the case, then as far as Cameron is concerned, you can die in poverty.
Saving lives by cutting vital services? Yet again this vermin proves his hypocrisy.
It's all hot air and PR opportunism. Jumping on the band wagon today only to be airlifted off it tomorrow. We won't hear another word from him on this subject again for another 12 months.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
