Nice to meet you. Look at all these friendly peoplewho attend SMC Atlanta events!
33www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Here’s me in my officialwork photo. I look dreadful.I was sick on picture day.
Ugh.
44www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
I do have a lot of fun at work(digital marketing agency 360i).
This is more typical.

STEVEN
CONSUMER
Today’s about consumers though,so here I am as a consumer at arestaurant in Hong Kong with a waitress whose nametag read
“Steven Chan” (it’s not her name).

What we’ll cover today
Intro
3 Key areas:
1.Check-ins
2.Local Q&A
3.Connecting digital & physical worlds
Hand over the mic
The part about handing overthe mic was in the contract
for the event. SMC got somegreat panelists though so I did
so willingly enough.

Check-ins

Check-ins: in search of their second life
Ghost of the mayor of
whotheheckcares
Check-ins for the sake ofchecking in and seeing where your friends are doesn’t do it
for most people.

Prizes don’t hurt
SCVNGR avoids this by focusing on games,often with tangible rewards such as this
program with Buffalo Wild Wings.Foursquare focuses on recommendations.Think hard about the value proposition,
and communicate it accordingly.
1010www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Check-ins: provide value beyond gaming
Sonar.me is one of my favoritenew apps, as it tells you whenTwitter followers or 2nd degreesocial friends are somewhere
with you. Awesome.
1111www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
The Verdict
I know where my friends are.Give me a better reason
to check in and maybe I’ll do it.
12
Local Q&A
1313www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
7. Local Q&A: the best minds are local minds… sometimes
Localmind is pretty fascinating.You can ask questions to peoplechecked in near you. We’ll see
if it can sustain itself as a standalone service.
1414www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
It’s not just mobile
How do you pronounce LOCQL?No idea.
But it’s designed to be a localQ&A service for the web.
1515www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
ChaCha steps up its answers
Who can forget ChaCha, the mobile Q&A pioneer?
1 billion questions have beenanswered so it’s doing
something right.
1616www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
The Verdict
Promising conceptin search of
better execution
ChaCha’s done fine and all,but there still seems to be an
opportunity to tap the knowhow of local experts,
especially via mobile.

Connecting digital & physical worlds
1818www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Augmented reality: the potential to stop sucking
Augmented Reality 1.0 wasentirely a gimmick.
Will that fate escape Aurasma,which can Harry Potter-ize
the world? Watch the demo.

QR: how to do it perfectly wrong
1. Spot the prominent code on the billboard
2. Scan the code 3. This is what you get? UGGGHHHHH
2020www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
QR: how to do it perfectly right
1. Spot the prominent code on the billboard
2. Notice call to action & value proposition
3. Deliver on the goods
2121www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
QR codes on screen: side with Stewart on this one
Jon Stewart nailed it when he mused on how dumb it is
to put QR codes on TV. Scan his below.

10. NFC: bound to make an early adopter of Costanza
The “Costanza wallet” may have met its match with Near Field Communication (NFC), which doesn’t just replace credit cards with mobile payments but adds features like
loyalty rewards and social sharing.

2323www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Google Nexus S: the first drop of the NFC deluge
Google’s Nexus S is the firstUS mass market phone with fullNFC capabilities. Expect a bunchto be available by the holidays.

A stopgap approach as wewait for more NFC devicesrevolves around stickers,
but not the puffy, googly eyedkind. Dang.
2525www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Slurp First Data’s GoTags at 7-Eleven
Here’s an example from 7-Elevenwith FirstData, which powerspayment terminals. A stickerlinked to your account allows
you to pay instantly andgain loyalty rewards.
Our phones only have room for somany stickers – this is truly a
Band-Aid, not the future.
2626www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Mixi: All the world’s an NFC check-in
Mixi designed an NFC-poweredcheck-in sticker so you can prove
you are physically inside a location when checking in or
earning rewards. Smart.
2727www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
Google throws down the gauntlet
Google’s huge foray into NFCnow revolves around Google
Wallet, lining up some heavy dutypartners.

2828www.360i.com Proprietary & Confidential
The Verdict
AR, QR, NFC - OY!Show me the
payoff and deliveron it, and I’llgive it a shot.
