Data & personalization
1. From segmentation to personalization
2. Beyond behavior: tracking individual bodies
3. Algorithmically curated worldviews for individuals: -> the limits
4. Personalizing without data
MK99 – Big Data 4
1. From segmentation to personalization
• Segmentation helps refine the picture – from a mass of data to meaningful subgroups of data points.
• Why not go down to extreme segmentation: segments the size of
an individual? – Major websites do it (Amazon, Yahoo!, Netflix, etc.) – Ads providers do it (Facebook) – News feed do it (Prismatic, Pulse)
– Advantages: pinpoint accuracy and relevance – Inconvenient: operational costs

Example
MK99 – Big Data 6
Is data-based personalization too hard?
If the industry can do mass customization on hardware, this should be possible on software
MK99 – Big Data 7
2. Beyond behavior: tracking individual bodies
• Internet of Things
• Quantified Self
• Wearable tech
• Connected objects
More sensors, more data created by or connected to individuals

Just N. Felton? “Autodesk employee Blake Menezes wears his Jawbone Up as part of a global corporate health challenge. Menezes keeps the activity data to himself, but other employers are exploring ways to monitor their staff's wearable devices to help keep a lid on rising health care costs.” (photo via Autodesk)

3. Curated world views • Personalization of content = taylored experience, equated with comfort
and luxury. Good!
• But negative impact on: – Serendipity: experiencing pleasant surprise by stepping outside of one’s own
habitual environment.
– The sense of belonging: the desire to part of a community, sharing similar codes and references
– Autonomy: individuals might prefer to curate their environment by themselves, and not by algorithms they don’t control.
MK99 – Big Data 14
Sept 04, 2014. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Twitter is planning to debut a Facebook-style, algorithmically curated newsfeed. The idea of a curated newsfeed is angering many who believe that Twitter's non-interference in the content stream is a feature, not a bug.

4. Wait! Personalizing without data? • The Zappos case:
– A focus on customer service – Delivered by human contact (call center in the US managed without
scripting nor limit on call time) – No insistence on data in their corporate culture (vs Amazon).
– Is data outside of the picture?
• No! Zappos does data-based personalization on their digital channels!
• But data is a supporting tool not a replacement for a great customer relationship.
