Web 2.0 And The CEO

Panos Kontopoulos - 12/03/10

Παλιούτσικο αλλά συνεχίζει να είναι επίκαιρο και to the point:

1. YOUR COMPANY IS INSIDE-OUT IN AN OUTSIDE-IN WORLD
2. YOUR COMPANY HAS A BAD WEB SITE
3. Το αγαπημένο μου: YOU SHOULD BE ASKING YOUR CUSTOMER ONE QUESTION – “Would you recommend this product or service to a friend or colleague?”
4. YOU DON’T OWN YOUR CUSTOMER; YOUR CUSTOMER OWNS YOU
5. BITS WANT TO BE FREE — BITS WANT TO BREAK THE LAW
6. GREAT MARKETING + GREAT TECHNOLOGY = THE ONLY WAY FORWARD

Microsoft, you still can thrill me!

Panos Kontopoulos - 11/03/10

It’s been a long time since Microsoft thrilled me with a new service or product.

But these 2 TED demos really  hit me.

The first one is about new Bing maps and in the video1, among other things interesting, you can watch a LIVE VIDEO OVERLAY on a street view map !

Also, spend some time watching the second TED video talking about Pivot, a new experiment from Microsoft Live Labs visualizing data like never before!

Letter to a Technology Evangelist

Panos Kontopoulos - 09/03/10

Πρώτη φορά το άκουσα όταν δούλευα στη Microsoft μερικά χρόνια πριν και έχω ακόμη μερικούς φίλους εκεί που η κάρτα τους γράφει Technology Evangelist .

Νομίζω ότι το άρθρο αυτό συμπυκνώνει πολλά από τα skills και τις γνώσεις που πρέπει να έχεις σε μια δουλειά που μόνο εύκολη δεν είναι.

Διαβάζω από εκεί:

• know the technology you’re promoting, know what customers need, know your competition.
• learn how to communicate in public, using powerful visuals, voice, body language.
• practice your presentation skills, and be prepared to learn new things.
• learn your audience, and give them respect, humility, passion and communication.
• be the mouth, but also the ears, of your company; and use online tools in a smart way to track customers’ opinions, and to build a powerful network of people.
• give the audience a memorable experience, and show them respect. FEEL how they feel. Treat them with high respect. They will love you for this
