This is a very cool way to show e-commerce and how some companies are making the connection with their customer.

This article was written by our top Scoopiteer, Marty Smith for Curatti Here is are a few highlights: What is the real social mobile marketing Paradox? The real social mobile marketing paradox is we don’t know what we don’t know. Tools that currently feel like B2C company to consumer connection apps are undeniably powerful and their impact on Efficiency’s Irony and other logistics, distribution and marketing problems so new no “best practices” exist. How this paradox unfolds will determine the Facebook, Google and Twitter of a new generation of innovators able to mesh powerful scaled systems together to create, distribute, publish and monetize our social mobile marketing paradox.

This timely article is from Businessinsider about how consumers are using their phones and what marketers need to know. Here are some highlights: "Mobile is no longer a communications utility, but a media distribution hub" According to eMarketer, mobile now accounts for 12 percent of Americans' media consumption time, triple its share in 2009. Where ius this consumer attention being focused? Mobile apps - Time spent on apps dwarfs time spent on the mobile web and smartphone owners now spend 127 minutes per day in mobile apps. Here are four usage trends developers and publishers should consider: 1. The rise of gaming: Games are the largest mobile app category anad the biggest money-maker in the app stores, accounting for 70% of Apple's top-grossing apps. 2. Mobile-social synergies: social networking apps are the second largest time bucket for mobile users. 39% of mobile users access social networks. 3. The piggyback rule: The only tried-and-true way for a mobile success is to take a popular usage category and build a product that piggybacks on that activity to provide a unnique mobile-native experience. 4. Portal erosion: Mobile is a fragmented space and consumers seem to like it that way.

Quite a stir was made a week ago, when Mark Schaefer published his Content Shock article on the businessesgrow blog.
A paraphrasing of the question he asked was, ‘At what point does the exponential increase in content production make the cost of trying to grab and hold attention no longer cost-effective?’
The topic resonated me as well as many others and the responses were swift, including Shel Holtz, Sonia Simone of Copyblogger and Marty Smith, the first two of which are discussed in the piece published in curatti.com (Marty’s piece was published too late to be included).
We don’t feel that Content Shock is something that any of us need to be concerned over.
Let’s not forget that
“As content continues to grow, search keeps pace by constantly improving. “
“Semantic Search may be beyond most people now, but it will become a part of everyone’s life even if in the same mysterious way that a car engine helps that wonderful machine convey us from point A to point B.”
And amongst those who stand to gain from the situation are:
“Discerning Curators who understand the needs of their readers because they are consumers of the same content, only sharing what blows them away!”
… a statement which is at least partly backed up here by an end user perspective:
“When I need to research something, I go to a few trusted sources and get what I want, when I want it.”
The message to readers is: “If someone is out there filtering the deluge of articles that you might otherwise have to work your own way through…. it removes the burden of you having to deal with the ever growing content mountain.”
So is Content Shock real? With all the excellent curators and filtering tools available ....... Only for those who insist on reading every source for themselves
