Speaking at the SocialCommerceSummit at The Magic Circle

Speaking on “Distraction” at Bazaarvoice‘s SocialCommerceSummit event. Good audience, but here’s hoping that there’s no remote-controlled trap door!

Update later with the slides.

Update: as promised, here are the slides via SlideShare.

Also, a nice writeup by Justin Crandall, the UK MD, on their blog entry:

Next up was the always entertaining and often controversial Ian Jindal, Editor-in-Chief of Internet Retailing, discussing the Art of Distraction. Ian painted a vivid picture of where consumer power is heading, a future in which customers own their own web experience and gravitate toward those brands who engage them while also making their lives easier.

Thanks for the kind words and again for a fun event. Still grappling with the ‘basic’ magic tricks though…
