Proof of Concept

Dave and Kayne review their 2015 technology predictions and, undeterred, make all new ones for 2016.

We look at how we might have better online conversations.

A very belated review of topics covered at Confab, the premiere content strategy conference. We get into the future of advertising, access, and all sorts of other things, too.

In this very special episode, we present audio from the 2015 Future of Content Round Table moderated by Proof of Concept co-host David Dylan Thomas.

Panelists include TED.com Editor Emily McManus, Senior Editor at Fortune Andrew Nusca, Single Palm Tree Productions CEO and Founder Trina DasGupta, UX and Software Developer at Comcast, Maurice Gaston and Principal at Taney Legal LLC, Frank Taney.

Dave and Kayne talk to Bruce Criscuolo, Senior UX Designer at EPAM, about his recent trip to Disney World and the innovative user experience and service design they're putting into play.

Dave and Kayne try to guess which technologies will come out on top in 2015.

In which we decry overblown announcements about the future of a given technology based on one celebrity's actions before making a few ourselves.

We have a couple of questions about this amazing experiment. Will it work in the long run? And why didn't Twitter or Facebook come up with it first?

We take a look at what happens when companies break the rules and how their audiences judge them afterwards, for better or worse.

(The Wharton professor whose name escapes Dave is Jonah Berger, by the way. Check his book Contagious.)

We unpack one tiny piece of Mary Meeker's latest state of the internet slide deck to discuss a new paradigm in relating to your customers.
