Obsessive Disruption | Spreaker

To kick-off the week, Craig and Sean pick up where they left off on Friday with discussion on the filter bubble and discovery economy we reside in today. Can the rise of voice-activated personal assistants on our smartphones shift the paradigm of search? Will a day come when all of our daily actions will be digitized to allow these assistants to serve us better? With Google planned to announce their Siri competitor codenamed Majel at Google I/O this week, Craig and Sean dive into the major implications these technologies represent. As always, tune in daily for more Obsessive Disruption podcasts and join in on the conversation at Craigkhall.com

Flipboard releases their app for Android with much fan fare. The ability to integrate Google+ and Youtube will allow the social magazine to gain even more traction in their burgeoning market. Do social magazines represent a new way to interact with the content we filter around ourselves? Has marketing taken a turn when focusing more on the story individuals weave on a consistent basis day in and day out on their mobile devices? Craig and Sean wrap up the week of TechTalks with a longer conversation on the ability to utilize these personal and intimate devices to connect with people on a deeper level. Check out TechTalks.fm and remember to check back every day for a new technology podcast. Comments are always welcome as well on anything and everything discussed.

QR codes represent a new approach to marketing but does it reflect the needed engagement for digital marketers today? Craig and Sean discuss how a hilarious comic about QR codes really surfaces some issues about how digital marketing must be utilized in today's age. With Facebook's 'like' action coming to the Open Graph and big data being the buzz word of the year, we as entrepreneurs, marketers, managers, etc. need to realize the power underlying the mobile revolution. Individuals are proud to become part of useful technologies if they improve their lives. Look at Apple for instance. Having a core product is one question but how to cultivate those initial customer's is another. Check out techtalks.fm and craigkhall.com for the latest and greatest from Obsessive Disruption.

Über Conference starts off the talk with a failed attempt at having a recorded podcast from two different locations. With Sean unable to attend, Craig delves into the his reactions in the Microsoft world for their blast of announcements this week. The surface, Windows 8 phone and SmartGlass. Though we haven't been able to play around with the Surface, we've looked through all the spec sheets to think about how this could really shake up the industry. Having a software-hardware maker like Apple is a trend the industry is heading. Samsung, Google and now Microsoft are all following the path blazed by Apple. Tune in to this episode and learn how these products are shaping the landscape of today's tech world. Image Source from Flickr user linuskendall. Link - http://bit.ly/MFRUWs

Microsoft announces their new homegrown tablet, the Surface. Does this present a whole new shift for the software giant by diving directly into the hardware world? Rob stops by to discuss the announcement with Craig and Sean and to give his opinions on the mobile, tablet and desktop space. Is the world ready for a Microsoft Surface? Does this just cry out as another attempt by Microsoft to catch up in a space it is dramatically behind in? And does this really come out as something game-changing versus perhaps a more incredible announcement that was swirling around the rumor mill, a Xbox Tablet. All this and more on another episode of Obsessive Disruption.

Microsoft will be announcing something, we hope, really brings about substantial shockwaves through the tech community. Will they announce a Barnes & Noble plus Windows 7 tablet? Will it be a new Xbox-branded tablet from the software giant? Or will they announce acquisition of their partner Nokia finally? Only speculation at this point but at 6:30PM EST the announcement will take place in Southern California in front of a lucky set of media. Craig and Sean discuss all the options showing up on the rumor mill and add a few of their own thoughts on what could be the big announcement. As always, focusing on the disruptive nature of technology trends at large in our current world.

For the roundup of the week, Craig and Sean discuss the happenings at Tech Stars Demo day NYC. This includes superstars like Condition One (an app that gives you full immersion into a video) and Pickie (a social news aggregate like Flipboard). The big news of the day involves Yammer being acquired by Microsoft for over $1B helping pave the wave for even more social media acquisitions. Are they playing catch-up or does Microsoft have bigger plans for the B2B space?

Today Rob stops down to give some deeper insight into the world of technology. Exploring the always persistent ownership dilemmas that exist for content creators, Craig, Rob and Sean discuss the FunnyJunk.com and TheOatmeal.com feud, the TechStars NYC Demo day and other topics.

The filter bubble represents the change from a search based economy to more of a recommendation one. With the rise of directed, filter information from software like Siri or Google Social Search or even Facebook's recommendation system, where does it stop? Craig and Sean explore what these questions mean and more with the latest Obsessive Disruption podcast.
