So at the biannual convention of the Direct Marketing Association, “Shift Happens” seemed a fitting title for the opening keynote. It was delivered by Ted Leonsis, who currently holds the position of vice chairman emeritus at AOL, a unit of Time Warner (NYSE: TWX).
“You have a big job,” Leonsis told the audience. “You have to reinvent what you’re doing for this new consumer with these new media applications.”
The short list of applications is by now familiar to anyone with the faintest understanding of the Web 2.0 phenomenon: Facebook, YouTube, Digg — to name a few.
