Where are we heading?

Page 22: Building 21st Century Tribes

The Internet of Things

• New engagement spaces emerging

• Infrastructure for object linking using RFID

• Developed for use in supply chain management

• Any physical object could be connected to the Internet with it’s own unique IP address

Page 23: Building 21st Century Tribes

Social Objects

• Any form of media that can be shared

• Provide opportunities for social interaction to occur

• Increase connectedness between friends in a social network

• Think blogs, tags, comments, reviews, tweets and p2p conversations

Page 24: Building 21st Century Tribes

Physical Objects as Social Objects

• Where has the object been?

• How does it relate to other objects?

• Why did the object change owners?

• What materials is the object made from?

• Who made the object?

21st Century Tribes

• Tribes can add value by bringing“user-generated context” to every physical object in the Internet of Things

• Interpret, find, personalise & bring meaning

• Overlay of social data linked to object relationships (where, how, why, what, who?)

• Massive possibilities for social connection, marketing & customer engagement

Page 32: Building 21st Century Tribes

Summary

• Manufacturing “fictive kinship” is the key to building modern-day tribes;

• Social media communities have followed similar rules to build loyalty;

• New possibilities for social engagement through The Internet of Things;

• Social objects are vital for connectedness;

• The physical world is going social

• What new tribes can we build together?
