The document discusses a class on digital ecosystems. It provides definitions of ecosystems from various sources, emphasizing the interaction between components and the flow of energy/information. A digital ecosystem is defined as a distributed, scalable network that allows free flow of data between nodes. Examples discussed include the internet and product ecosystems. Platforms and information ecosystems are also discussed, noting the value is in the system, not individual components. The class will cover building digital ecosystems around brands across multiple online and offline platforms.

- 7. ”The whole system… including not only the organism-complex, but also the whole complex of physical factors forming what we call the environment.” -Arthur Tansley in english, please: from atom to ape - every piece of the living world Future of Advertising - March 28
- 8. ”Any unit that includes all of the organisms (ie: the ”community”) in a given area interacting with the physical environment so that a flow of energy leads to clearly defined trophic structure, biotic diversity, and material cycles (ie: exchange of materials between living and nonliving parts) within the system is an ecosystem.” -Eugene Odum Future of Advertising - March 28

The flow of energy throughout the system, so to speak. Future of Advertising - March 28
- 10. ”A Digital Ecosystem is any distributed scalable network allowing data to flow freely between its nodes and allowing trusted interpreters to access, edit or extrapolate value of the data.” -Thomas Peterson Future of Advertising - March 28
- 11. ”A Digital Ecosystem is any distributed scalable network allowing data to flow freely between its nodes and allowing trusted interpreters to access, edit or extrapolate value of the data.” -Thomas Peterson (Any network where people can be added or removed to change the size of the network.) Future of Advertising - March 28
- 12. ”A Digital Ecosystem is any distributed scalable network allowing data to flow freely between its nodes and allowing trusted interpreters to access, edit or extrapolate value of the data.” -Thomas Peterson (allowing for games, music, video, documents, money transactions and everything else to move within the digital ecosystem.) Future of Advertising - March 28
- 13. ”A Digital Ecosystem is any distributed scalable network allowing data to flow freely between its nodes and allowing trusted interpreters to access, edit or extrapolate value of the data.” -Thomas Peterson (allowing the right person or machine to interact with the data. This information is meaningless until we do something with it.) Future of Advertising - March 28
- 14. Data can flow freely within ecosystems, but not between them. This can be because the information isn’t compatible - or that the interpreters (us) haven’t created a connection. These limits define where ecosystems begin and end. Future of Advertising - March 28

- 44. 1. Pick at least three platforms. Corporate site, microsite, e-commerce site, social network(s), LBS(s), game, etc. 2. Articulate what each platform contributes. A way to get more information? An entertaining campaign extension? Financial incentive? Status incentive? 3. Explain why people would flow from one to the other. A more immersive experience? A different type of content? More incentives and rewards? 4. How do offline elements contribute? Do they drive people into the ecosystems? Supplement the experience? Provide a layer of interaction? Remember: this is going to wind up in your digital portfolio. Future of Advertising - March 28

- #16: The Kindle is no exception. Minutes from having unpacked the Kindle, you can start to download books directly to your device. Again, data flows almost without friction. The Kindle makes it possible to view the content, but without access to a wealth of books it would be worthless.\n
