7. Mobile Traffic vs non mobile
traffic
Our own Google Analytics
eBay mobile trade x3
53% American mobile users have smartphones
350 million active users of facebook mobile
15. Mobile Web
Websites for Mobile vs Mobile Applications
16. Mobile Websites
Mobile website (a version of your website
optimised for use on a small mobile screen)
No download required (less commitment to use)
Potentially larger customer base – not reliant on a
certain or latest phone
May be easier to redesign for mobile than
develop an application
For the publisher – easier to support
21. Optional Exercise
How does your site look on a mobile?
Use a mobile, or free simulators are available:
http://www.opera.com/mobile/demo/
http://www.testiphone.com/
Blog what you think could make it easier to use
/
22. Mobile Applications
Mobile application (a standalone application you download
to your device)
Fast to access – via an icon
More screen available - no browser surround
Not reliant on the scripting technologies within the browser
More sensors (functionality)
Seen as current – browsers and websites old technology.
More acceptable to charge – people seem willing to pay a
few pence to download an app – but should you charge?
Can possibly be used offline
Currently sit on the single device (not the cloud)
SEO?
Who supports?
36. Chemistry World Mobile App 2
Why?
Getting closer to the reader
Discover new audiences
Reader Demand
37.
38. Chemistry World as an App rather than just a website
“I feel that apps are able to replicate this
in a way that a mobile-enhanced
website can’t. The app feels luxurious,
time-rich somehow, it makes you sit
down, relax and enjoy the experience
that is reading a good magazine. I use
websites in a completely different way:
to complete a task, to keep up to date,
etc. All job or career-related activities
so there is no time to relax!”
40. Consider user behaviour &
Environment
Screen Size
Connectivity Speed
Device Power
Interface
User Goals
Environment
Attention Span (need to work to earn)
Pressures
41. Current Mobile Considerations
Specific aims must be met – not for just fun
Low tolerance – connection speed may vary, just
give what the users want
Consider if scripting will work
Consider a separate site – not just a redesign
Select rather than type
Make forms short

50. Web Squared
What if all technology was internet technology?
An internet of things where everything is
connected and feeding real time data.
The web becomes the real world.
Every device feeds and presents the data from
the web
51. Web Squared
Web 2.0 utilised the collective intelligence of all of us
Web Squared will utilise the collective intelligence of everything
Sensors providing real time information for the web to learn
The whitepaper –

52. How will Machines add Data?
Sensors in electrical items
Bar codes on physical items
Photos from mobile phones
for everything else
GPS Systems
More open (big) data (later)
Passive information
53. What could be connected?
Light switches
Household appliances
Temperature gauges
Scientific Sensors
Your GPS system
Your mobile phone
Your calendar

59. Augmented Reality
Viewing the real world
Merging with the virtual world
Enhancing the real world
Mixing layers of
Geographic location
User data
Published information
60. How is it viewed
Via mobile phones
Via headsets and special glasses
Maybe one day via contact lenses -

61. Virtual Reality?
VR = World within the computer
Augmented reality models a world within
the computer overlaid with the real world
via positioning and camera sensors
62. Example - Wikitude
http://www.wikitude.org/
WIKITUDE World Browser presents the
user with data about their surroundings,
nearby landmarks, and other points of
interest by overlaying information on the
real-time camera view of a smart-phone.
63. Example - Cyclopedia
http://www.chemicalwedding.tv/cyclopedia.html
Cyclopedia uses the iPhone camera,
compass and GPS together to create an
augmented reality of the world by
overlaying Wikipedia information over the
viewfinder.
66. Google Goggles
Take a picture and search

67. What will it bring
Enhanced vision of the world
Up to date information
Interactive brochures and books
Different method for search and discovery
Location specific publishers information
An addition to our own brains – how can we as
publishers publish to this new augmented world?
71. Big Data Traditional

77. Big Data

to do something
cool and useful with
the data?

78. Devices, Web2 and Big Data
for Publishing
How do you, as publishers, think this might change how
your readers want to interact with you, your content and
each other?
The internet is no longer a separate box: it is fully
integrated into the real world
Changes in how, when and where we look at products
Changes to the format of information
Changes in the concept of “published”
Changes in the way we discover
Changes in intelligence
Changes to all interfaces
