User-generated Visual Content: Understanding The Supply-Side Motivations

Today many Web-based businesses depend on content created by their audience — and yet they do not know what motivates the people who provide the crucial photos and videos, and how they are different from the more common viewers. “User-generated Visual Content: – Understanding The Supply-Side Motivations” surveys hundreds of popular content creators and analyzes their reasons, compared and contrasted against a control group of average Web users. The findings show what motivates the primary producers of user-generated content on popular websites, and how these people differ from the majority of Web viewers. Future Image surveys almost 2,000 members of one of the top photo- and video-sharing websites. The answers to more than 20 questions are compared and contrasted in charts and graphs that show the differences between a control group of random users and a selection of the most productive, most popular content creators. The full report questions content creators on: Their levels of sharing activity Their motivations and subject choices The need for attention and community The desire for making sales. The report also includes extensive interviews with executives from Webshots, Simple Star, Corel, iStock, muvee, Filmloop, and Pure Digital, as well as a chronological compendium of two years of news articles on user-generated visual content from The Future Image Weekly Briefing information service.

Location-aware images: Using smart-phone capabilities to automate rich metadata

To enjoy and use a photo, you have to be able to find it. Digital photos are computer files, and those files can contain more information than just the ones and zeroes that describe the image. The camera-phone has significant potential as an intelligent imaging device, one that leverages its smart capabilities- calendar, address book, GPS and more – to annotate the pictures and videos it takes with highly valuable metadata that makes these images more valuable, whether for personal or business purposes. The technology is here to make photography more useful and enjoyable – but the industry has yet to deliver the complete package.

What are the obstacles? Why hasn’t this capability come to market in a consumer-friendly package? When might we see progress on this front?

The Animation Industry in India gained significance as an outsourced destination for animation work due to low cost, skilled labour as its many advantages. In the recent past Indian animation companies and animation studios have been moving up the value chain to create their own intellectual property rights with Hanuman, Roadside Romeo, etc. and partnering with international studios to produce animated properties for the global audience.Though a majority of the work done by the animation industry in India is outsourced work, this is expected to change in the future with increased demand from the domestic entertainment industry.

Global Spine Market Report: 2009 Edition

Spinal implant market, one of the largest markets in orthopedics, is being driven by favorable demographic trends and high incidence of back pain. In the US, the occurrence of lower back pain at some time in one’s lifetime is almost ninety percent. Technological advances such as minimal invasive procedures and non-fusion technologies, are also aiding in growth of the market.

Market share of larger spine companies is being gradually eroded by smaller, niche companies. Smaller players are extensively expanding their product portfolio and sales forces. Most of the product innovation is coming from small, private companies. High economic profit within the industry has driven R&D expenditures of smaller firms.

Asia-pacific region presents a major growth opportunity for the spine market with only fifteen percent of revenues of leading spine companies being derived from the region. The growing economic prosperity of countries like India and China has driven growth in orthopedic surgeries in Asia-pacific.
