Comments on: Forget 'my', the web prefix of the future will be 'our' http://www.rickliebling.com/2008/04/22/forget-my-the-web-prefix-of-the-future-will-be-our/ Intelligence, Insight, Ideas Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:41:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jason Lamarche http://www.rickliebling.com/2008/04/22/forget-my-the-web-prefix-of-the-future-will-be-our/comment-page-1/#comment-267 Jason Lamarche Wed, 23 Apr 2008 03:35:51 +0000 http://eyecube.wordpress.com/?p=50#comment-267 Good forecast again Rick! I purchased a "we...based" domain name last month for this very reason. The Zeitgeist for 2008 and beyond is definitely about the collective. What will be really interesting though is how this will impact our very individualistic North American culture. Perhaps the talk of a public health care system in the U.S. is an early sign that our world views have already begun to shift towards the "we" you speak of. I wonder if there will be considerable resistance to products and messages presented in an "our" format from those who wish to remain individualistic. Furthermore, what psychographic, or demographic traits will be most effective to segment the "we's" from the "my's". Good forecast again Rick!

I purchased a “we…based” domain name last month for this very reason.

The Zeitgeist for 2008 and beyond is definitely about the collective.

I wonder if there will be considerable resistance to products and messages presented in an “our” format from those who wish to remain individualistic.

Furthermore, what psychographic, or demographic traits will be most effective to segment the “we’s” from the “my’s”.

That was even a part of the marketing in the beginning. Things are just more fun in a group. The Nintendo Wii… That was even a part of the marketing in the beginning.

If you look at the "crystal" child concept, (lots of trash about it on the web but a few sound things) then the "i/u" becoming "us" would be a natural progression in the years to come as the future rainbow generation develops into a collective energy of population. Interesting thoughts.

Sure, not everybody will be ready, but a more robust version of a Facebook group, for example, seems to be an idea that would take off.

If marketers start changing their approach now we might see a few heads exploding over here - metaphorically - as people try to keep up. We've recently seen the launch of Youmeo.com in the UK, which apparently stands for You, Me, Online. It wants to fill in some of the gaps left by the likes of Facebook, YouTube and MySpace and they've certainly made some interesting claims and promises - not sure how realistic any of them are. Behind it appears to be a desire to create something that is "our's". It is going to be interesting to see how well they develop. I have doubts but it might be fun lurking around and taking a look.
