Rule Britannia….

“Social networks are more popular in the UK than in any other European country, with 24.9m Britons, or 78% of the UK online population, visiting a social network, according to comScore. The research firm estimates that UK social network users spent more time on them on average more than any other major European nation. The average UK visitor to a social networking site spent 5.8 hours in 23.3 visits social networking in Aug. This was much higher than in France, where the average was 2 hours in 16.8 visits during the month, and Germany, where social network users spent 3.1 hours in 13.8 visits on social networks in Aug. comScore warned that the averages could be misleading for marketers as it estimates that 80% of activity on social networks, including page viewing, can be attributed to only 20% of users.” With thanks to Marketclusters.

We can rebuild it….

Iperium are now looking to make contact with talented web designers to help us create and launch a new website for 08. We wish to architect out a new look and feel that is streamlined and representative of the sectors we are expanding into and, of course, also our core business areas. Please contact steve@iperium-consulting.co.uk

Intriguing new search technology

I have been speaking with Manoj a lot recently about all things social, his new company edocr has a new spin on the search space. Edocr creates a search community around work documents and as a result can provide a very helpful database for pooling and sharing specifically work related knowledge.

Where to go now?

Mark Cuban has commented that the internet has stopped evolving and that the platform has little room left for innovation until the connections into our home are able to achieve far more bandwidth. One of the ideas that has always kicked around in my over active imagination has been the choice to view cinema releases at home. I think a window of exclusivity of anywhere from two weeks to a month would enable the cinema chains to still achieve revenue, but then again why are we loyal to these inept and soulless multiplex monsters, gone are the days of getting into Rocky IV on my hands and knees between the legs of the usher after queing for 2 hours at my local one screener. After that we should be able to stream the latest and greatest straight to our own high def heaven, without the rage inducing noise of one hundered or so chavs texting and struggling to understand Scary Movie XI.

To Infinity and Beyond

There seems to be two distinct areas of the internet developing, social media and application led projects. I personally believe the long term future lies in solutions that draw on the core of the internet and provide a platform for innovation, whilst there is a definite desire for social asthetic sites that face the consumer, this market is in danger of eating itself. As the search market becomes the Google Universe – which application out there will be the next to define itself globally.
