The importance of presence in unified communications
I don't know Jean-Louis Seguineau personally, but I read his blog daily and we've exchanged some thoughts through comments here a time or two, most recently on my post A Meme-ingful Conversation. I think presence and availability, or context, or whatever they become as facets of our digital identity and persona will be a huge piece of the evolution of unified communications. In truth, I think they're at the core of the Voice 2.0 revolution that will be unified communications. Jean-Louis posted a magnificent writeup on how presence relates to attention yesterday. I highly recommend it.
Presence calls out attentionEvery new piece of information put on the web becomes available to millions, almost instantaneously. Drawing a parallel with material goods, information production can be virtually infinite, and consequently, be in oversupply. Around ten years ago several definitions started appearing for what is now known as the "attention economy". The main concept was that over abundant information could only get value from the attention anyone of us was willing to devote to specific pieces of information.
