Huge opportunities exist for entrepreneurs to build products and services that fix the common complaints we hear about mobile and social technologies.
Complaints such as:
- Overwhelming amount of noise, making it hard to identify what is important
- Difficulty managing everything, setting priorities
- Different amounts of relevance for each of the people we are connected wit
- "Check-in" fatigue for location-based services
- No monetary compensation for locational-based check-in
- Difficulty proving value of new media for management
Entrepreneurs made fortunes solving the problems of the first generation of the web – such as secure payment transactions that enable ecommerce.
Now it's time for a new generation of startups to address a new generation of technologies. (And it seems the companies providing the initial game-changing technology aren't the same ones that solve the problems caused by their technology.)
Let's discuss:
- What are the biggest challenges that prevent widespread adoption of new technologies?
- What are the most pressing questions for businesses trying to benefit from new media?
(Companies like TopGuest are solving problems and innovating, and I would love to cover more of these stories. If you know of a company well positioned to change the game in this way, let me know…)
