#1NWebinar: Cracking Big Content

Big content is creating information overload for users. There are three steps to cracking big content: 1) Remain calm and don't blame content, as information overload predates the internet. Tools like categorization, indices and alphabetization have long helped manage information. 2) Continue using new interactive tools like search, social features, filters and personalization to help users access information. 3) Don't panic, as advances in big data and machine learning will soon enable automated analysis of content to extract meaning and structure, alleviating much of the manual work required today. This will further enhance interactive experiences and help users navigate large amounts of content.

The Result? Unbounded accumulation of content offerings degrades the experience. Your communications begin to look, feel, and act like work.

Cracking the Problem • Content isn’t really the problem • The key to avoiding the experience of information overload is to crack big content by: – Organizing – Engaging – Adapting – Analyzing
Response: Three-steps to Cracking Big Content
Step One
Keep Calm
Was there life before the Internet? Information overload was not created by the Internet.
Pre-Internet Overload Since we’ve been able to record information, people have complained that there’s too much: • “Of making books there is no end.” - Ecclesiastes 12:12 • “The abundance of books is distraction” - Seneca • “Life is short, art is long” - Hippocrates • “Such is the flood [of books] that even things that might have done some good lose all their goodness” - Erasmus
Pre-Internet Solutions Over thousands of years, we’ve created a range of tools to guide overwhelmed readers: • Categorization • Indices • Alphabetization • Summation & Compilation Too Much to Know: Managing Scholarly Information before the Modern Age, Ann M. Blair, 2010

Alphabetization
Step Two
Carry On
New Tools Interactive media allow people to take control of how they access information: • Search • Social • Filters • Tagging / Taxonomy • Personalization • Visualization
Search Search is probably the most powerful, most useful tool we can offer our audiences. It’s why Google is a verb, and Yahoo is a cautionary tale. It’s also imperfect.
Social It’s widely observed that social networks are becoming the primary information source for many users. Social brings together two powerful functions that help people find the right information: influence and curation.

How do we bring all that together?
One North’s Research Exercise In the “Trust & Worthy” site, we imagined how all these techniques can be combined in a simple, unified, interactive experience. http://examples.onenorthinteractive.com/trustworthy

Step Three
Now Panic and Freak Out
Why Panic? ? In between good content and a great interactive experience lies a lot of analysis. And currently, almost all that analysis must be done by people. That means you.

Computers Can’t Read The problem is that current systems can’t read – not even Google knows what all that web content means.
The Problem is Also the Solution Some of the biggest names in Information research are looking for ways to take raw content and turn it into structured data - to give content meaning. They call this effort Big Data.
