The All Amazon Edition Of This Week's CTRL ALT Delete Segment On CHOM 97.7 FM
Every Monday morning at 7:10 am, I am a guest contributor on CHOM 97.7 FM radio out of Montreal (home base). It's not a long segment - about 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly on i Heart Radio, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away about what's going on in the digital world. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the Mornings Rock with Terry DiMonte morning show. The segment is called, CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel.
This week we discussed:
Amazon's quarterly earnings came out last week, and it was staggeringly great. More staggering than many thought. Here's one data point: Over 40% of all ecommerce purchases belong to Amazon. Think on that.
Amazon's success comes at what cost? How's this for a headline from the Observer: Amazon Workers Have to Process 300 Packages an Hour and Pee in Bottles. It's backbreaking work. Workers in the UK have to process a package every nine seconds from 7:30 am to 6 pm. Some get panic attacks from the stress... others are hospitalized. It's competitive and scary. Some employees pee into bottles to avoid taking time away from the job. It's not AI and robots... these are humans, and even Amazon is surprised and investigating/reporting.
There are some news items that you read, and all that you can think is this: This must an article from The Onion. How about this for a headline: Amazon will now deliver packages to the trunk of your car. I literally LOL'd when I read this... and then... it's true? Why not? Give them access to your home... so why not the trunk of your car?
Amazon is also issuing an Amazon Echo for your home, that is aimed at kids. It's called, the Echo Dot Kids Edition. It comes with a protective rubber case (in red, blue or green). This is what makes it unique: the new FreeTime service that comes preactivated with it. The service adds parental controls, kid-friendly content, and an optimized experience for kids to Alexa. What could go wrong?
App of the Week: SoundPrint (aka the "get off my lawn" app).

Six Links Worthy Of Your Attention #409
Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?
My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for Interesting, Tilt the Windmill, HBS, chair of Strata, Startupfest, Pandemonio, and ResolveTO, Author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (PressBooks, LibriVox, iambik and co-author of Book: A Futurist's Manifesto) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person "must see".
Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another:
Dopamine Jackpot! Sapolsky on the Science of Pleasure - Daily Motion . "What makes humans special? Well, lots of things, but one is our ability to work all our lives for something that may not bring a payoff. This can have evolutionary advantages as a society; but looking at dopamine and its role in anticipation is pretty fascinating. I was going to use a different link, but I'll share that one next week--it'll be amazing, trust me." (Alistair for Hugh).
#LDJAM on Twitter . "I spent the weekend making a video game. It was part of a worldwide event called Ludum Dare--now in its 41st iteration--where teams from across the globe build a game in 48 hours under a set of constraints. This year's theme, 'Combine two incompatible game genres,' led to things like Pac-man with poker cards (avoid ghosts and build a full house) or racing match-three games (it's like Candy Crush but you're collecting the colored cars of your crashed opponents). We made a mashup of a Guitar Hero rhythm game and a card game, producing pretty much the worst way to play an instrument in history. The Twitter feed is full of amazing ideas." (Alistair for Mitch).
What Happens When Geneticists Talk Sloppily About Race - The Atlantic . "Sam Harris must be the most un-self-reflective supposedly reflective smart person in the universe. He recently got into a very weird and frustrating debate about race and IQ and 'moral panics' with Ezra Klein. Anyway, this link isn't to that messy and annoying collection of media, but rather to a more thoughtful piece that argues that we need to be more precise when we talk about these issues, especially since they are so hyper-charged with political danger." (Hugh for Alistair).
Palantir Knows Everything About You - Bloomberg . "Welcome to 1984 times a million." (Hugh for Mitch).
Bitcoin is the greatest scam in history - Recode . "I've been spending a lot of time reading, researching and thinking about blockchain over the past few years. I don't think that most people really know/understand what it means and how it builds trust. I constantly see headlines about how this technology will transform everything. Every industry has their own blockchain specialists. I am very bullish on blockchain. Still, blockchain does take the backseat when it comes to cryptocurrency. That's where the action is. That's where the terror often is as well. Normally, I hate sharing salacious headlines, but read this and consider the source. One question worth pondering: should we ever equate crytocurrency to the current currency models?" (Mitch for Alistair).
Bezos's empire: how Amazon became the world's most valuable retailer - The Guardian . "I'm going to keep banging this drum: Nobody (really) knows what the Amazon brand is. It's just that big. Tired of articles about just how big, might and powerful Amazon is? Too bad. Here's another one. Granted, I'm really sharing this for two reasons. One, it's visually stunning and staggering. Two, their quarterly earnings came out after this piece was published and, still, ka-blam... wow... what numbers they were! Can anybody really beat them?" (Mitch for Hugh).

Amazon's Beast That Is Prime, Netflix Pumps Up And More On This Week's CTRL ALT Delete Segment On CHOM 97.7 FM
Every Monday morning at 7:10 am, I am a guest contributor on CHOM 97.7 FM radio out of Montreal (home base). It's not a long segment - about 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly on i Heart Radio, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away about what's going on in the digital world. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the Mornings Rock with Terry DiMonte morning show. The segment is called, CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel.
This week we discussed:
Amazon is a beast. And that beast keeps growing. Last week, Amazon's Jeff Bezos wrote his annual letter to shareholders. To date, the company has held the number of people signed up to their Prime service private. In 2015, he said that Prime had "tens of millions" of customers. Well, now we know that more that 100 million people are paying the Prime fee for the privilege of free two-day shipping and services like Prime Video and Prime Music. This is staggering. It's more expensive and has more members than Costco. Plus, people who have Prime tend to buy more at Amazon.
Netflix? They're a beast too. And that beast keeps growing too. According to eMarketer, their viewership base jumped 3.6% to 132.6 million members. Traditional TV networks and channels are on the run.
File this under: Things change. Remember Flickr? The Vancouver-created photo-sharing app dominated for so many years. Long before Instagram, Snapchat and, even, Facebook. Back in 2005 the company was purchased by Yahoo! for (reportedly) $35 million dollars. Back then, this was a big deal. Well, Verizon (which bought Yahoo, AOL, etc...) just announced that they have sold Flickr to SmugMug - another (and even older) photo sharing service. You would think that nobody would care. Not true. Flickr reportedly still has more than 100 million users, who post tens of billions of photos. You might also think that this is all one, big collective shrug. Not true. What's most interesting here is the reaction to this news. People are genuinely excited that an independent company is taking this brand back from one of the giants. A trend that may just be getting started?
App of the Week: Fortnite Battle Royale.

The Suckiness Of Brands With Bernie Schroeder - This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast
Episode #615 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.
If you're going to write and publish a book called, Brands and Bulls**t - Excel at the Former, Avoid the Latter. A Branding Primer for Millennial Marketers in a Digital Age, it's bound to get my attention. Bernie Schroeder was born in Austria, but is currently the director at the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center where he teaches entrepreneurship courses at San Diego State University. Bernie is a dreamer and a doer. His career involved being a professional marketer that led to the building of an agency called, CKS| Partners. This was one of the first integrated marketing agencies with more than 25 offices and 2,500 employees. He became a brand expert and helped to launch brands like Yahoo! and Amazon. Back in 2015, he published his first book, Fail Fast or Win Big. His second book, Simply Brilliant, came out in 2016. And now, he's back to call BS on brands... and much more. Enjoy the conversation...

Six Links Worthy Of Your Attention #408
Is there one link, story, picture or thought that you saw online this week that you think somebody you know must see?
My friends: Alistair Croll (Solve for Interesting, Tilt the Windmill, HBS, chair of Strata, Startupfest, Pandemonio, and ResolveTO, Author of Lean Analytics and some other books), Hugh McGuire (PressBooks, LibriVox, iambik and co-author of Book: A Futurist's Manifesto) and I decided that every week the three of us are going to share one link for one another (for a total of six links) that each individual feels the other person "must see".
Check out these six links that we're recommending to one another:
OLPC's $100 Laptop Was Going To Change The World - Then It All Went Wrong - The Verge . "I owned a One Laptop Per Child. They had a program in which you bought one, and one went to Haiti. The device was revolutionary, with a completely new OS. It was also sort of useless. But the ideas and idealism ran into hurdles: Moore's Law; hubris; warring factions; and the challenges of making tech catch hold at scale. This is a great, and cautionary, tale for anyone who still believes 'if you build it, they will come.'" (Alistair for Hugh).
It's Time to Forgive Eminem - Noisey - Vice . "This was a fascinating piece on how much culture has changed, from the point of view of someone who was shocking at the start, and seems tame by modern standards. I remember the shock and kerfuffle around South Park when it first came out; now, it's a sitcom. So how has Eminem faced up to time?" (Alistair for Mitch).
Goldman Sachs report: "Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" - BoingBoing . "Question: What happens if the biotech/genetics industry develops cheap, one-shot cures for chronic diseases? Answer: collapsing business models/revenue streams. (According to investment bank, Goldman Sachs, anyway)." (Hugh for Alistair).
Brain Break: Watch This 12-Year-Old Boy Solve 3 Rubik's Cubes While Juggling Them - Entrepreneur . "There are so many edits in this video, and the idea is so crazy, that I call bullshit on it, but, amazing, if true." (Hugh for Mitch).
The Comedian Who Bought the Weather Channel - The Wall Street Journal . "Are you old enough to remember the smash TV show, Real People (late seventies/early eighties). One of the stars was Byron Allen. A standup comedian. He went on to do other things in television and comedy. For a while. I read this article and had one thought (not true... two thoughts). 1. I had not heard his name in forever. 2. Wow, I had no idea how successful he had become behind the scenes. What an amazing story. $300 million for The Weather Channel... and so much more. An amazing inspiration!" (Mitch for Alistair).
Technical Experts Need to Get Better at Telling Stories - Harvard Business Review . "Jargon. Uch. I hate jargon. We all know how important storytelling is. This piece has a nice (and nuanced) spin to the tried and true ideology that every brand should tell a story. Curious to know what you think: Can/should PhDs write about the brand's story?" (Mitch for Hugh).

Never Lose A Customer Again With Joey Coleman - This Week's Six Pixels Of Separation Podcast
Episode #614 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.
There are so many books on how to generate leads, close the sale, negotiate the sale, market the products and services and on and on. How many books have you read (or seen) about how to not lose the customer once you get them? You might think that once you have a customer, that you have them for life. Not even close. Joey Coleman has a unique ability. He is laser focused on how brands need to think once they have closed the sale. It's not just an ideology, either. It's a system. His latest book, Never Lose A Customer Again - Turn Any Sale Into Lifelong Loyalty in 100 Days is rocketing up the charts of every bestseller list... and for good reason. For over a decade, Joey has helped organizations retain their best customers and turn them into raving fans via his entertaining and actionable keynotes, workshops, and consulting projects. He has a long history of energizing and motivating audiences to enhance their customers' experiences. He is an award-winning speaker, and now he has packed that insight into a very important book. Enjoy the conversation...

TED 2018 in Vancouver, Facebook's Government And More On This Week's CTRL ALT Delete Segment On CHOM 97.7 FM
Every Monday morning at 7:10 am, I am a guest contributor on CHOM 97.7 FM radio out of Montreal (home base). It's not a long segment - about 10 minutes every week - about everything that is happening in the world of technology and digital media. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly on i Heart Radio, if you're interested in hearing more of me blathering away about what's going on in the digital world. I'm really excited about this opportunity, because this is the radio station that I grew up listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the Mornings Rock with Terry DiMonte morning show. The segment is called, CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel.
This week we discussed:
TED 2018 is in the books. This was my 10th year attending the conference. I was the only person from Montreal there. It was another incredible experience. Themes went from #MeToo and equality, pessimism and optimism in our world, to whether or not artificial intelligence will control and kill us all. It was another extraordinary year of ideas worth spreading.
Mr. Zuckerberg went to Washington. Facebook founder and leader, Mark Zuckerberg, spent two intense days testifying before congress last week. Are we on the path to regulation? If anything, these sessions demonstrated just how disconnected these government officials are from technology and how it works.
