Share It (Data) and They Will Come: Crowdsourced Citywide IoT Network
I haven’t been as excited about anything for a long time as I am about a global revolution that began last week in Amsterdam!
Cities are rapidly becoming the very visible and innovative laboratories for IoT innovation, which is logical, because they’ve been in the forefront of open data — as I saw first-hand when I […]
Incredible example of rethinking “things” with Internet of Things
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the epitome of the IoT-enabled product: the trash can!
My reader statistics do not indicate this blog has a heavy readership among trash cans, but let me apologize in advance to them for what I’m about to write: it’s not personal, just factual.
I’m sorry, but you municipal trash cans are pathetic!
Dented. […]
Egburt: key tool to make IoT pay off NOW
As I’ve remarked before, writing the Managing the Internet of Things Revolution e-guide to IoT strategy for SAP was an eye-opener for me, shifting my attention from the eye-popping opportunities for radical reinvention through the IoT (products as services, user-customizable products, seamless smart phone-car integration, etc.) to very practical ways the IoT could begin optimizing companies’ current operations […]

Live-blogging @ Wearables + Things
Just arrived @ Wearables + Things conference (I’ll speak on “Smart Aging” tomorrow). Hmm: there’s one noteworthy player absent from the conference: those guys from Cupertino. Wonder why they’re not there (perhaps in stealth mode??)
Conference already underway, about to have 2 new product reveals!
iStrategyLabs, “Dorothy,” connects your shoe to your phone. You’re stuck in a […]
Libelium’s Alicia Asín Pérez: crafting an IoT leader from the ground up!
Any time you run into a leading IoT engineer who says she draws inspiration from the early NYC skyscrapers (Why? “..Most of them were built during the Great Depression and make me think that in big crisis like the one we are living there are also the greatest opportunities for creating amazing things.”) you know […]
Two good sites if you’re introducing the IoT
Categorize this under “posts I’ve been meaning to write for a long time!”
For the current writing assignment I’m working on, I’m looking for as many good examples of practical Internet of Things applications that are available right now.
There are two sites that I repeatedly go to for those examples that deserve some praise.
One is Postscapes, […]
Meeting Usman Haque: a shared vision for the IoT
We had our second successful Boston/New England IoT Meetup last night, with some great speakers (more about them later). Thanks to my co-organizer, Chris Rezendes of INEX Advisors, for putting together a great program!
For me, the high point was getting to meet one of the IoT’s real pioneers: Usman Haque, who created Pachube, now Cosm, […]
survey: M2M natural evolution of “consumerization of IT”
A new survey of worldwide IT decision makers (ITDMs as the acronym goes…) by Harris Interactive for SAP includes some pretty convincing reminders that the Internet of Things (in this case the emphasis is on M2M) is as much about empowering people as it is about things.
“..most ITDMs in all six countries view M2M as the […]
When Philips’s Hue Bulbs Are Attacked, IoT Security Becomes Even Bigger Issue
OK, what will it take to make security (and privacy) job #1 for the IoT industry?
The recent Mirai DDoS attack should have been enough to get IoT device companies to increase their security and privacy efforts.
Now we hear that the Hue bulbs from Philips, a global electronics and IoT leader that DOES emphasize security and […]
