Microsofts Milliarden-Deal und der Kampf der Institutionen - Password Zeitreise 2011#06

Willkommen zu einer neuen Folge der PASSWORD Zeitreise ! In diesem Deep Dive werfen wir einen faszinierenden Blick zurück in das Jahr 2011 und analysieren die bahnbrechenden Themen der Ausgabe Nr. 6 des renommierten Fachmagazins "Password". Diese Folge beleuchtet das enorme Spannungsfeld der damaligen Zeit: Auf der einen Seite erleben wir rasant wachsende, unheimliche technologische Durchbrüche, auf der anderen Seite den zähen Kampf traditioneller Institutionen und Behörden mit dem neuen Informationszeitalter. Wir entschlüsseln unter anderem den beispiellosen 8,5-Milliarden-Dollar-Deal, mit dem Microsoft damals Skype übernahm – ein Schachzug, bei dem es weniger um die Software, sondern vor allem um den Zugriff auf hunderte Millionen von Nutzerdaten ging. Außerdem erwarten Sie in diesem "Appetithappen" aus der Welt der Informationswirtschaft: Kritik an der Bürokratie: Herausgeber Willi Bredemeier knöpft sich die "Kommission Zukunft der Informationsinfrastruktur" (KII) vor, die statt konkreter Finanzierungspläne lieber neue Posten für sich selbst vorschlug. Akademische Fehltritte: Warum die Fachhochschule Potsdam ausgerechnet an der Schwelle zur Datenökonomie ihren Studiengang "Information und Dokumentation" einstampfen wollte. Wissenschaft in der Krise: Eine verheerende Analyse des Peer-Review-Prozesses, der im Schatten der damaligen Plagiatsaffären einen "Geruch von Bayreuth" verströmte. Die Anfänge von Cloud und Social Search: Wie Microsofts Bing versuchte, den "Collective IQ" von Facebook-Nutzern in die Suche zu integrieren und Amazon seinen Cloud Drive startete. Competitive Branding: Wie der BVB 2011 mit seiner Kampagne "Echte Liebe" nicht nur Fan-Herzen gewann, sondern zeigte, wie Informationen und Emotionen sportlichen Erfolg begünstigen. Hören Sie rein und verstehen Sie, wie die Weichen für unsere heutige digitale Welt gestellt wurden! Wer die tiefgehenden journalistischen Leitartikel in voller Pracht erleben möchte, dem sei wärmstens die Printausgabe 2011-06 empfohlen. Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von infobroker.de.
