Designing Ecotopia

I remember having a chat with the orgainisers of Ecotopia a few months ago. The three of us were drinking mint tea and lamenting the state of the sustainability conversation. In particular, we lamented how the conversation is mostly around dystopia and all the stuff that’s bound to happen if we don’t make the change.

Now you never have to attend another social media conference again

The social media strategy echo chamber is something I’ve lamented before.

The first time I stumbled across the BMV acronym was in the  brilliant Umair Haque’s post Apple’s Next Revolution — And What You Can Learn From It

The acronym, Umair informed me, is the way media bankers are now referring to books, music and video. I stared at it for a while, a wry smile stretching across my face. There is something so beautifully dismissive about this acronym and the way it clumps together three very different products and industries around the one thing they have in common: they haven’t really cracked digital yet.

I work in digital, so naturally I think about this kinda shiz all the time. If I worked in BMV I would be thinking about this shiz all the time too – and I’d be seriously excited.
