- 2. Dick Carlson www.DickCarlson.com The Power of Babble Columbia Information Technology Council Developing kick-ass learning is not for the faint of heart. Giving a Generation X learner a talking head with a “next” button is a recipe for destruction. They’ll tune out and start reading mail (or IM-ing their friends, or playing Doom, or listening to tunes on their i-Pod). You’ve got to move up to the next level of interactive customer-driven learning using techniques like blogs, podcasting, networked communities, wikis, viral videos and other cutting edge tools where the inmates build the asylum.

A podcast is a collection of digital media files which is distributed over the Internet, often using syndication feeds, for playback on portable media players and personal computers. A wiki is software that allows users to easily create, edit, and link pages together. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. A blog (short for “web log”) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

- Meet Generation Next: They use technology and the internet to connect with people in new and distinctive ways. Text messaging, instant messaging and email keep them in constant contact with friends. About half say they sent or received a text message over the phone in the past day, approximately double the proportion of those ages 26-40. They are the “Look at Me” generation . Social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and MyYearbook allow individuals to post a personal profile complete with photos and descriptions of interests and hobbies. A majority of Gen Nexters have used one of these social networking sites, and more than four-in-ten have created a personal profile. Their embrace of new technology has made them uniquely aware of its advantages and disadvantages . They are more likely than older adults to say these cyber-tools make it easier for them to make new friends and help them to stay close to old friends and family. But more than eight-in-ten also acknowledge that these tools “make people lazier.” They are somewhat more interested in keeping up with politics and national affairs than were young people a generation ago. Still, only a third say they follow what’s going on in government and public affairs “most of the time.” In Pew surveys in 2006, nearly half of young people (48%) identified more with the Democratic Party, while just 35% affiliated more with the GOP. This makes Generation Next the least Republican generation. They are more comfortable with globalization and new ways of doing work . They are the most likely of any age group to say that automation, the outsourcing of jobs, and the growing number of immigrants have helped and not hurt American workers. Asked about the life goals of those in their age group, most Gen Nexters say their generation’s top goals are fortune and fame. Roughly eight-in-ten say people in their generation think getting rich is either the most important, or second most important, goal in their lives. About half say that becoming famous also is valued highly by fellow Gen Nexters.

- Chevy Tahoe the Chevy message needed to escape the tightly controlled, painstakingly monitored, woefully predictable confines of the 30-second TV spot and roam the online jungle. So, Chevy marketers thought, let's take this thing a notch further – let's have an online contest to see who can create the best TV ad for the new Tahoe. The wikification of the 30-second spot – what The MBAs who populate ad agencies and corporate marketing departments spend years learning the art of control – what their cleverly calibrated messages should (and shouldn't) say, where they should appear, how often they should appear there, and what should appear nearby four weeks 30,000 entries, the vast majority of which faithfully touted the vehicle's many selling points then there were the rogue entries, the ones that subverted the Tahoe message with references to global warming, social irresponsibility, war in Iraq, and the psychosexual connotations of extremely large cars. Only gradually did it dawn on people that Chevy had no intention of removing the attack ads. 629,000 visitors visitors spent more than nine minutes on the site nearly two-thirds of them went on to visit Chevy.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CVezHDxFuw
