Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Norton

Cities across the US are rethinking streets, going beyond sidewalks and bike lanes to welcome nonmotorists to share the roadway. David L. Prytherch, author of Reclaiming the Road: Mobility Justice beyond Complete Streets, traces the historical evolution of America's streets and explores contemporary movements to retake them from cars for diverse forms of mobility and community life. Can we design more just streets? Here, Prytherch is joined in conversation with Mimi Sheller and Peter Norton.David Prytherch is professor of geography at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He is author of Reclaiming the Road: Mobility Justice beyond Complete Streets; Law, Engineering, and the American Right-of-Way: Imagining a More Just Street; and coeditor of Transport, Mobility, and the Production of Urban Space. Mimi Sheller is Dean of The Global School at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Sheller is founding co-editor of the journal Mobilities, founding co-director of the Centre for Mobilities at Lancaster University, England, and past president of the International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility. Sheller is author of Mobility Justice: The Politics of Movement in an Age of Extremes.Peter Norton is associate professor of history in the Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia. He is author of Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City and Autonorama: The Illustory Promise of High-Tech Driving.REFERENCES:John UrryThe Death and Life of Great American Cities / Jane JacobsPeople for Mobility JusticeRobert MosesComplete StreetsThe UntokeningKimberlé CrenshawPraise for the book:"Reporting from the front lines of recent post-pandemic physical and cultural transformations of public space in nine major American cities, David L. Prytherch raises profound questions about what streets are for and how they might be equitably shared. The result is a fresh, hopeful vision for intersectional mobility justice and public placemaking."—Mimi Sheller, author of Mobility Justice: The Politics of Movement in an Age of Extremes"David L. Prytherch gives a crisp, clear, and accessible narrative of the movement to reclaim public streets after one hundred years of domination by private automobile interests. Steering us through the politics of streets during the Covid-19 pandemic and recovery, this is a refreshingly innovative and optimistic book for anyone concerned about our urban mobility future."—Jason Henderson, coauthor of Street Fights in Copenhagen: Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility CityReclaiming the Road: Mobility Justice beyond Complete Streets by David L. Prytherch is available from University of Minnesota Press.

In this episode, I connect with Jarrett Walker, author of Human Transit, revised edition. This book, aimed at a nontechnical reader, explores the challenging questions that you must think about when planning or advocating for public transit in your community. We discuss what aspects of the public transit landscape have changed since the first edition in 2011, such as the rise of small shared personal mobility options like scooters and bikes, work from home trends, and increasingly imaginary techno-whiz-bang solutions like tunnels, aerial gondolas, and flying cars sucking up funds and attention, while also addressing the core fundamentals of effective public transportation that remains same. We also talk about the power of having walkable and bikeable environments to maximize the utilitarian potential of transit and access to opportunity.Thank you so much for tuning in!

Measured by distance and speed, today North Americans move more than ever. Movement, however, is but a means to an end; more movement is not in itself beneficial. Movement is a cost of meeting daily needs, and provided these needs are met, less movement is generally advantageous. Nevertheless, since the 1930s traffic engineers have pursued movement maximization in North American cities as if movement is an end in itself, and even as if movement is in itself freedom. The human costs have included unbearable burdens measurable as financial, health, safety, equitability, livability and environmental costs. Together these burdens impair human autonomy; that is, by constraining people's choices about where and how to live, they diminish freedom. Automobility, promoted as a deliverer of freedom, has instead imposed car dependency, a kind of unfreedom. Paradoxically, many engineers now pursue so-called “autonomous” (robotic) driving, promising thereby to sustain unsustainable quantities of movement, when the sole worthy end of movement is not machine but human autonomy. To escape the traps that these errors set for us, we must trace them to their origins. Though engineering is defined as applied science, history reveals that the origins and persistence of prevailing traffic engineering principles lie not in scientific research but in power politics, and that such principles have more in common with religious dogmas than with natural laws. Far more practical possibilities await us when we escape the confines these dogmas impose on us and recognize movement as a secondary good that serves us only as it contributes to human autonomy. Peter Norton is an associate professor of history in the Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia. He is a member of the University of Virginia's Center for Transportation Studies and has been a visiting faculty member at the Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Norton is the author of Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City, and of Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving. He is a winner of the Usher Prize of the Society for the History of Technology, and a frequent speaker on the subject of sustainable and equitable urban mobility.

“Every line on the road is a political choice.” Marco te Brömmelstroet, a.k.a. “The Cycling Professor,” is the chair of Urban Mobility Futures at the University of Amsterdam. His book Movement, with Thalia Verkade, takes a stance against myths and received wisdoms that surround popular thinking about the rights and place of cyclists and pedestrians, urban design, and traffic engineering. Parallel to the critique, he presents new ways of thinking about how, and why we move through the world, and at what speed. -- Intro/Outro: “My White Bicycle,” by Tomorrow -- Discussed: -              Urban Cycling Institute -              Woonerf -              Chicane -              Chip Cone -              Cauliflower neighborhood, a.k.a.

May is Bike Month and it timed perfect to interview Dan Piatkowski on his book coming out this month titled "Bicycle City: Riding the Bike Boom to a Brighter Future." Our conversation sheds light on the power of e-bikes as vehicles for sustainable urban transport. We tackle the questions around electric vehicles and their true impact on city design, challenging the prevalent notion that technological advancement alone can solve our environmental issues. We also examine the agility of urban centers during times of crisis, drawing parallels to the rapid changes seen in response to the pandemic and the lessons we can carry forward for climate action. As we wrap up this episode, the notion of 'car light' living steers us toward a vision of cities abundant with walkable streets and bike paths that are inclusive for all. Show Notes:Further Reading: Dark PR by Grant Ennis,  Autonorama by Peter Norton, Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt; Killed by a Traffic Engineer by Wes Marshall, When Driving is not an Option by Anna Zivarts.Further Utopian Reading: The Dispossessed by Ursula K.

Die autogerechte Stadt. Wohl kaum ein Leitbild des 20. Jahrhunderts hat in den Städten Deutschlands und der Welt deutlichere Spuren hinterlassen. Und wohl kaum eine Entwicklung des letzten Jahrhunderts hat heute eine derart negativere Auswirkung auf unsere Lebensqualität in den Städten. Denn ganz ehrlich: WAS HABEN AUTOS BITTE IN STÄDTEN VERLOREN?! Während meiner autohassgetriebenen Recherche für diese Folge musste ich dann aber doch eine Ironie feststellen. Denn diese ganze Idee – die autogerechte Stadt – entstand ursprünglich gerade, WEIL das Leben in Städten in den Jahrzehnten zuvor so unerträglich geworden war. Es mag mit dem Blick von heute also überraschen, aber vielleicht war an dieser Vorstellung doch einmal was dran?Melde dich hier für den Newsletter an und erfahre hier mehr über den Déjà-vu Club.Schauen wir uns diese autogerechte Stadt in dieser Folge also mal etwas näher an. Wandern (oder fahren?) wir gemeinsam in die Geschichte und sprechen über die wichtigsten Merkmale dieser damals revolutionären Idee. Reden wir über die Vorteile und Nachteile der autogerechten Stadtplanung, über ihre theoretischen Grundlagen wie etwa die Charta von Athen und auch über konkrete Beispiele aus der Geschichte.

In this episode, I welcome back Professor Peter Norton of the University of Virginia for a continuation of our discussion about the long legacy of parents fighting for safer streets in the United States of America and how Motordom ultimately prevailed in most cases where they were challenged. We also draw comparisons between the street safety protests of The Netherlands in the 1970s, which profoundly changed the trajectory of the country and helped to pave the way towards a country that broadly has mobility choice between walking, biking, transit, and driving a motor vehicle.Thank you so much for tuning in!

Andrea also met with Peter Norton, the owner of Poppies in Enniskerry...

Mass memorials to the victims of traffic violence are a rarity on American roads. But it wasn't always that way — and there's a fascinating history behind why so many lost lives have become virtually invisible in the public realm today.  On this episode of The Brake, Kea Wilson sits down with historian and author Peter Norton to talk about how America used to memorialize car crash deaths in the early days of the automobile, and why automakers invested so much into reshaping the way we grieve. And then they chat about what it might take to bring the national traffic violence epidemic out of the shadows, and why even everyday non-lethal road trauma deserves to be called out.  Listen in, and learn more about traffic violence memorials in our earlier coverage. 

Paris Marx is joined by David Zipper to discuss how Silicon Valley pitched new technologies as the fix for a whole range of transport problems, and how that really just distracted us from solutions while allowing issues like  road deaths, emissions, and traffic to get even worse.David Zipper is a Visiting Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Taubman Center for State and Local Government and a contributing writer at Bloomberg CityLab. You can find his articles and sign up for his newsletter at DavidZipper.com and follow him on Twitter at @DavidZipper.Tech Won't Save Us offers a critical perspective on tech, its worldview, and wider society with the goal of inspiring people to demand better tech and a better world.

He also wrote about the history of self-driving cars, the danger posed to pedestrians on the roads, the problem with infotainment systems, and what's wrong with positioning car tech as the solution to our problems.Paris wrote about how Elon Musk designed the Hyperloop to try to get California's high-speed line canceled.AAA puts the annual cost of car ownership in the US at over $10,000 a year in 2022. In Canada, CAA put it at $8600 to $13,000 a year in 2017 — a number that is surely even higher now.Peter Norton wrote about how the auto industry took over US roads in the early 1900s in Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City.Support the show

Peter Norton is associate professor of history in the department of engineering and society at the University of Virginia. In this interview he talks about his recent book Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving, arguing that driverless cars cannot be the safe, sustainable, and inclusive “mobility solutions” that tech companies and automakers are promising us. He claims the salesmanship behind the driverless future is distracting us from investing in better ways to get around that we can implement now that are inexpensive, safe, sustainable, and inclusive. Subjects of discussion include smart highways, the focus on autonomous vehicles and the importance – or otherwise – of ITS. Plus news and conversation with Tom Stone and Saul Wordsworth.NOTE: Exclusive and additional content from the interview will appear in the September issue of TTi.Interview begins at 4:45. 

This month is a bit different. This episode is the first part of an investigation, led by Jack, into self-driving cars, trying to locate the technology in particular places. The first part focuses on Phoenix, Arizona, a testbed for some of the technology's most ambitious developers and also the scene of the first self-driving car crash to kill a pedestrian. Jack talks to various experts - historians, crash investigators, journalists and tech company representatives - to ask what the technology might mean for different places. The second part moves to Jack's home town, London.The episode was presented and written by Jack Stilgoe and edited by Gemma Milne, with research assistance from Nuzhah Miah.- Jack Stilgoe, (2019) Who Killed Elaine Herzberg?, OneZero, 12 Dec 2019, https://onezero.medium.com/who-killed-elaine-herzberg-ea01fb14fc5e- Chris Tennant, & Jack Stilgoe, (2021).

After an unexpected hiatus, your best friends AJ and Jordan are back in business. This time around we go where few shows of any stature have ever dared: the subject of traffic congestion. What's up with it? What causes it? When did we first start to see it as a problem? How did competing narratives from the early days come to shape how we see and deal with it? Is traffic congestion definitely bad, or is it akshually good? And as always, we will be talking about how this all affects us as humans, individually and collectively. This is a longer episode than usual, but it's more packed than the Katy Freeway at rush hour. Stay tuned for a follow-up episode about some common ways we've tried to address traffic but ended up making it worse! Links: Want to learn more on this episode's topic?

GUEST: Peter Norton, author, "Autonorama"ABOUT THIS EPISODE“AUTONORAMA—The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving” (Island Press, 2021) is the new book by Peter Norton, an associate professor at the University of Virginia. In Autonorama, Peter looks at the history of the future of high-tech driving. He begins with the automotive Utopia depicted by the spectacular General Motors Futurama exhibition at the World's Fair of 1939, that promised better living, new places to go, and new ways of getting there. He then takes us to later similar exhibitions that first floated the idea of congestion-free, crash-free transportation, and then the myriad opportunities on offer in a world of automated driving, where everyone in the vehicle could relax and do anything other than drive, while state-of-the-art technology took on the role of driving the car.Peter writes: “This book is not an entry into the debate about whether the automated driving revolution is good or bad, or whether it will yield (as a perennial question would have it) a transport “heaven” or a transport “hell.” It is a plea to stop asking such questions.”In this episode, Peter talks through some of the key themes in his book, and shares some broader ideas about the development of technologies and business models for the future of mobility.Peter Norton is associate professor of history in the Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia, where he teaches history of technology, social dimensions of engineering, research, and professional ethics.

Can driverless cars really be the “safe, sustainable, and inclusive ‘mobility solutions' that tech companies and automakers are promising us”? In his newest book, Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving, technology historian Peter Norton argues that we should treat these utopian promises about driverless vehicles with a great deal more caution and skepticism. Autonorama exposes how, from its inception in the Depression era, the automobile was a subject of controversy; believe it or not, not everyone initially wanted cars around. Over time, however, a shift occurred that caused us to see automobiles as the solution, and a not a problem, for our transportation needs in cities. Today on the Strong Towns Podcast, host Chuck Marohn is interviewing Peter Norton about Autonorama. They discuss the history behind our shift in perception toward cars—up to our current societal fixation on driverless cars, the wrong answer for a problem we can solve with resources we already have, and without doing further harm to ourselves and the environment.  Additional Show Notes Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving Peter Norton (University of Virginia) Charles Marohn (Twitter)

Show Notes:In Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving, technology historian Peter Norton argues that driverless cars cannot be the safe, sustainable, and inclusive “mobility solutions” that tech companies and automakers are promising us. The salesmanship behind the driverless future is distracting us from investing in better ways to get around that we can implement now. Unlike autonomous vehicles, these alternatives are inexpensive, safe, sustainable, and inclusive.I'm excited to have Peter back on the Podcast for a second time. We not only dive into the sales pitch being served up to us about autonomous vehicles and a utopian world of car dependency, but we talk about the real-life pragmatic solutions that we should be focusing on such as a sustainable safety approach to mobility network design and the example provided in The Netherlands in the Dutch cycle path and transit network integration. And specifically the power of mobility choice.I hope you enjoy it.Helpful Links:Video version of this episodeLanding page for this episode - for access to photos featured in the video versionAutonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving published by Island PressFighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City published by MIT PressHow did the Dutch get their cycle paths video by BicycleDutchThe Best Country in the World for Driving - The Netherlands a video by Not Just BikesMy first podcast episode with Peter - Highlighting the Fighting Traffic bookShow Credits and Information: All video, audio, and music production by me, John SimmermanMy Personal Call To Action: - If you enjoyed this episode please give it a "thumbs up", leave a comment, and share it with a friend.- And if you haven't done so yet already, please subscribe to the Podcast - Please consider supporting my efforts by becoming a Patron via Patreon.

Alex Pareene, a contributing editor to The New Republic and the author of The AP (Alex Pareene) Newsletter, joins the podcast to talk about his recent run of stories on cars, parking and the competition for scarce space on city streets. We discuss 311 — the non-emergency phone number for accessing municipal services — and what it tells us about how government works (or doesn't work). What message are police sending when they fail to enforce illegal parking? As far as driving is concerned, does anything go? And how does Elon Musk's insistence on beta-testing Full Self-Driving on public streets relate to it all? ***This episode is sponsored by our friends at Cleverhood.*** Support The War on Cars on Patreon for access to ad-free bonus content.

Set in one of Hampshire's most famous landmarks: the Iron Age Hillfort of Danebury Hill, this week's episode is a magical story which brings to life the wood which circles the fort. The story takes place in the 16th century when a Royal Charter was granted for Danebury to be used as a site for a rural fair, on a very hot day in late July, as John the farm labourer had just finished work having been given the afternoon off to go to the fair. Little did he suspect the strange and unusual things that were about to happen to him … This is a perfect story for all the family After the story, I chat with Peter Norton from The Ancient Yew Group who tells me some fascinating facts about amazing Yew trees! The episode is accompanied with music by renowned folk musician Paul Sartin and Hampshire Country Dance Tunes from the Pyle family manuscript of 1822.   This story is part of Test Valley Tales. 'Test Valley Tales' is an Arts Council Funded project and one of Test Valley Arts Foundation's Borough of Culture Legacy Projects. All the stories are set in the beautiful landscape of Test Valley which is in Hampshire in England. There is also an illustrated book of the all the stories which accompanies this podcast.

The battle for road space between bikes and cars is a well-known one in many cities. But conversations about being a “bike person” or a “car person” tend to skew more towards identity politics than what the data tells us about how to make a city safe and most efficient for all citizens - no matter how they choose to get around. So why can't we get past our emotional response? Peter Norton, an associate professor and author of "Fighting Traffic", as well as the new book, "Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving" shares just how cars came to dominate our roads and how they still have a place in contemporary cities. Plus, Adrian talks to Canadian-Danish urban mobility expert Mikael Colville-Andersen about coaching cities around the world to be more bike-friendly. And Adrian comes clean on something you might not expect.

KFOR's Dale Johnson talks with Peter Norton of Thunder Press about his new book "The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics from 1963 to 1970"

The Spokesmen Cycling Podcast EPISODE 259: Cyclist Detection Tech With Tome Software CEO Jake Sigal And History of Road Equity With Historian Peter Norton Monday 26th October 2020 SPONSOR: Jenson USA HOST: Carlton Reid GUESTS: Jake Sigal and Peter Norton TRANSCRIPT/SHOWNOTES: www.the-spokesmen.com

Dzisiejszy gość to Paweł Jaworski - filozof i urbanista, urbanista i filozof (i architekt do tego). Paweł działa za pomocą urbanistyki eksperymentalnej, łączącą badania, projektowanie oraz partycypację. Pomagam miastom zaplanować zmiany w przestrzeni publicznej, wdrożyć nowe pomysły i przetrwać rodzące się nieuchronnie konflikty. W 2017 roku w Dąbrowie Górniczej przygotowałem pierwszą w Polsce koncepcję przekształcenia ulicy śródmiejskiej poprzez testowanie rozwiązań tymczasowych wspólnie z osobami, które z niej korzystają na co dzień. W podobny sposób pracowałem w Warszawie, Krakowie, Szczecinie i Gorzowie Wielkopolskim. Z Pawłem dysktujemy o tym dlaczego jego wykształcenie filozoficzne jest kluczowym aspektem jego pracy w mieście. Co się stało, że Paweł zrezygnował z pracy w biurze planowania w Tychach i zaczął realizować się we własnych projektach? Rozmawiamy także o podejściu do samochodów i kierowców - pytam Pawła o to jak nie demonizować użytkowników samochodów, a w zamian za to, pokazać im, że często istnieje bardziej efektywna alternatywa dla przemieszczania się (szczególnie w centrach miast). Czym jest dla Pawła jego marka osobista i czy świadomie ją kreuje? Polecane przez Pawła książki to: 1) Livable Streets, Donald Appleyard (https://books.google.dk/books/about/Livable_Streets.html?id=pfreUQKD_4QC&redir_esc=y) Warto poczytać o tym Panu, np. na Wikipedii (po polsku!): https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Appleyard 2) Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City, Peter Norton (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2924825-fighting-traffic) Wywiad z Pawłem, w którym opowiedział o tym, jak będą wyglądać nasze miasta po pandemii możecie znaleźć tutaj: https://wyborcza.pl/AkcjeSpecjalne/7,173931,26348043,gdy-pandemia-sie-skonczy-bedziemy-bardziej-doceniac-zycie-w.html?fbclid=IwAR2XuPkJbacXHFSBKm6JZE4nWG4cl8gu6mmFFHBISIKBH6gtngREs5z_TR4 A działania Pawła - jako Experimental Urbanism możecie śledzić na: - jego blogu/ stronie internetowej: http://experimentalurbanism.com - facebooku: https://www.facebook.com/experimentalurbanism - instagramie: https://www.instagram.com/experimental.urbanism/

Trends Podcast met Marco Te Brömmelstroet (UvA)In deze aflevering bellen we met Marco Te Brömmelstroet. Hij geeft les aan de universiteit van Amsterdam en publiceerde onlangs met Thalia Verkade ‘Het recht van de snelste'. In dat boek nemen ze mobiliteit onder de loep. Te Brömmelstroet laat zich de fietsprofessor noemen en maakt zich sterk dat corona ons mobiliteitsgedrag wel eens voorgoed zou kunnen veranderen.In Vlaanderen bedraagt de afstand tussen de woon- en de werkplaats gemiddeld slechts 20 kilometer. Bovendien is 75 procent van onze verplaatsingen korter dan 10 kilometer. Daar hebben we geen auto voor nodig. De groeiende aandacht voor de fiets tijdens de lockdown maakt van de fiets de duidelijke winnaar van de coronacrisis. Dat vindt ook de Nederlandse ‘fietsprofessor' Marco te Brömmelstroet (Universiteit van Amsterdam). “De fiets kan een nieuwe impuls geven aan ons mobiliteitsdenken. De fiets past niet zo goed in de autogerichte manier waarop we naar mobiliteit kijken. Dat alternatieven zoals het openbaar vervoer wegvielen, maakte de fiets interessant. Bovendien nodigden heel veel straten die normaal door auto's worden gedomineerd, tijdens de coronacrisis plots uit tot veilig en prettig fietsen.”Volgens Te Brömmelstroet is het tijd om de straat te herdenken. En dat is perfect mogelijk. In de jaren twintig van de vorige eeuw gebeurde het al bij de opkomst van de auto. “Toen was iedereen het erover eens dat een snelle auto in de straat geen toekomst had. Kinderen letten nu eenmaal niet goed op, dus kun je niet met de auto in dezelfde straat. Peter Norton beschrijft in Fighting Traffic heel mooi hoe dat in tien jaar volledig is omgeslagen, zodat mensen kinderen gingen opvoeden om niet zomaar over te steken. Bij elk ongeval werd gezegd dat het kind niet goed had opgelet. Die logica kan ook andersom. Dat gesprek moeten we nu aangaan en dat gaat over meer dan de files oplossen.”

Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us for the innovations of the future! Today we're going to look at the impact Stewart Brand had on computing. Brand was one of the greatest muses of the interactive computing and then the internet revolutions. This isn't to take anything away from his capacity to create, but the inspiration he provided gave him far more reach than nearly anyone in computing. There's a decent chance you might not know who he his. There's even a chance that you've never heard of any of his creations. But you live and breath some of his ideas on a daily basis. So who was this guy and what did he do? Well, Stewart Brand was born in 1938, in Rockford, Illinois. He would go on to study biology at Stanford, enter the military and then study design and photography at other schools in the San Francisco area. This was a special time in San Francisco. Revolution was in the air. And one of the earliest scientific studies had him legitimately dosing on LSD. One of my all-time favorite books was The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, by Tom Wolfe. In the book, Wolfe follows Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters along a journey of LSD and Benzedrine riddled hippy goodness, riding a converted school bus across the country and delivering a new kind of culture straight out of Haight-Ashbury and to the heart of middle America. All while steering clear of the shoes FBI agents of the day wore. Here he would have met members of the Grateful Dead, Neal Cassady, members of the Hells Angels, Wavy Gravy, Paul Krassner, and maybe even Kerouac and Ginsberg. This was a transition from the Beat Generation to the Hippies of the 60s. Then he started the Whole Earth Catalog. Here, he showed the first satallite imagery of the planet Earth, which he'd begun campaigning NASA to release two years earlier. In the 5 years he made the magazine, he spread ideals like ecology, a do it yourself mentality, self-sufficiency, and what the next wave of progress would look like. People like Craig Newmark of Craig's List would see the magazine and it would help to form a new world view. In fact, the Whole Earth Catalog was a direct influence on Craig's List. Steve Jobs compared the Whole Earth Catalog to a 60s era Google. It inspired Wired Magazine. Earth Day would be created two years later. Brand would loan equipment and inspire spinoffs of dozens of magazines and books. And even an inspiration for many early websites. The catalog put him in touch with so, so many influential people. One of the first was Doug Engelbart and The Mother Of All Demos involves him in the invention of the mouse and the first video conferencing. In fact, Brand helped produce the Mother Of All Demos! As we moved into the 70s he chronicled the oncoming hacker culture, and the connection to the 60s-era counterculture. He inspired and worked with Larry Brilliant, Lee Felsenstein, and Ted Nelson. He basically invented being a “futurist” founding CoEvolution Quarterly and spreading the word of digital utopianism. The Whole Earth Software Review would come along with the advent of personal computers. The end of the 70s would also see him become a special advisor to former California governor Jerry Brown. In the 70s and 80s, he saw the Internet form and went on to found one of the earliest Internet communities, called The WELL, or Whole Earth Lectronic Link. Collaborations in the WELL gave us Barlow's The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a safe haunt for Kevin Mitnick while on the run, Grateful Dead tape trading, and many other Digerati. There would be other virtual communities and innovations to the concept like social networks, eventually giving us online forums, 4chan, Yelp, Facebook, LinkedIn, and corporate virtual communities. But it started with The Well. He would go on to become a visiting scientist in the MIT Media Lab, organize conferences, found the Global Business Network with Peter Schwarts, Jay Ogilvy and other great thinkers to help with promoting values and various planning like scenario planning, a corporate strategy that involves thinking from the outside in. This is now a practice inside Deloitte. The decades proceeded on and Brand inspired whole new generations to leverage humor to push the buttons of authority. Much as the pranksters inspired him on the bus. But it wasn't just anti-authority. It was a new and innovative approach in an upcoming era of maximizing short-term profits at the expense of the future. Brand founded The Long Now Foundation with an outlook that looked 10,000 years in the future. They started a clock on Jeff Bezos' land in Texas, they started archiving languages approaching extinction, Brian Eno led seminars about long-term thinking, and inspired Anathem, a novel from one of my favorite authors, Neal Stephenson. Peter Norton, Pierre Omidyar, Bruce Sterling, Chris Anderson of the Economist and many others are also involved. But Brand inspired other counter-cultures as well. In the era of e-zines, he inspired Jesse Dresden, who Brand knew as Jefferson Airplane Spencer Drydens kid. The kid turned out to be dFx, who would found HoHo Con an inspiration for DefCon. Stewart Brand wrote 5 books in addition to the countless hours he spent editing books, magazines, web sites, and papers. Today, you'll find him pimping blockchain and cryptocurrency, in an attempt to continue decentralization and innovation. He inherited a playful counter-culture. He watched the rise and fall and has since both watched and inspired the innovative iterations of countless technologies, extending of course into bio-hacking. He's hobnobbed with the hippies, the minicomputer timeshares, the PC hackers, the founders of the internet, the tycoons of the web, and then helped set strategy for industry, NGOs, and governments. He left something with each. Urania was the muse of astronomy, some of the top science in ancient Greece. And he would probably giggle if anyone compared him to the muse. Both on the bus in the 60s, and in his 80s today. He's one of the greats and we're lucky he graced us with his presence on this rock - that he helped us see from above for the first time. Just as I'm lucky you elected to listen to this episode. So next time you're arguing about silly little things at work, think about what really matters and listen to one of his Ted Talks. Context. 10,000 years. Have a great week and thanks for listening to this episode of the History of Computing Podcast.

Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us for the innovations of the future! Todays episode is on the History of Symantec. This is really more part one of a part two series. Broadcom announced they were acquiring Symantec in August of 2019, the day before we recorded this episode. Who is this Symantec and what do they do - and why does Broadcom want to buy them for 10.7 Billion dollars? For starters, by themselves Symantec is a Fortune 500 company with over $4 billion dollars in annual revenues so $10.7 Billion is a steal for an enterprise software company. Except they're just selling the Enterprise software division and keeping Norton in the family. With just shy of 12,000 employees, Symantec has twisted and turned and bought and sold companies for a long time. But how did they become a Fortune 500 company? It all started with Eisenhower. ARPA or the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which would later add the word Defense to their name, become DARPA and build a series of tubes call the interweb. While originally commissioned so Ike could counter Sputnik, ARPA continued working to fund projects in computers and in the 1970s, this kid out of the University of Texas named Gary Hendrix saw that they were funding natural language understanding projects. This went back to Turing and DARPA wanted to give some AI-complete a leap forward, trying to make computers as intelligent as people. This was obviously before Terminator told us that was a bad idea (pro-tip, it's a good idea). Our intrepid hero Gary saw that sweet, sweet grant money and got his PhD from the UT Austin Computational Linguistics Lab. He wrote some papers on robotics and the Stanford Research Institute, or SRI for short. Yes, that's the same SRI that invented the hosts.txt file and is responsible for keeping DNS for the first decade or so of the internet. So our pal Hendrix joins SRI and chases that grant money, leaving SRI in 1980 with about 15 other Stanford researchers to start a company they called Machine Intelligence Corporation. That went bust and so he started Symantec Corporation in 1982 got a grant from the National Science foundation to build natural language processing software; it turns out syntax and semantics make for a pretty good mashup. So the new company Symantec built out a database and some advanced natural language code, but by 1984 the PC revolution was on and that code had been built for a DEC PDP so could not be run on the emerging PCs in the industry. Symantec was then acquired by C&E Software short for the names of its founders, Dennis Coleman and Gordon Eubanks. The Symantec name stayed and Eubanks became the chairman of the board for the new company. C&E had been working on PC software called Q&A, which the new team finished and then added natural language processing to make using the tools easier to use. They called that “The Intelligent Assistant” and they now had a tool that would take them through the 80s. People swapped rolls, and due to a sharp focus on sales they did well. During the early days of the PC, dealers - or small computer stores that were popping up all over the country, were critical to selling hardware and software. Every Symantec employee would go on the road for six days a week, visiting 6 dealers a day. It was grueling but kept them growing and building. They became what we now call a “portfolio” company in 1985 when they introduced NoteIt, a natural language processing tool used to annotate docs in Lotus 1-2-3. Lotus was in the midst of eating the lunch of previous tools. They added another devision and made SQZ a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet tool. This is important, they were a 3 product company with divisions when in 1987 they got even more aggressive and purchased Breakthrough Software who made an early project management tool called TimeLine. And this is when they did something unique for a PC software company: they split each product into groups that leveraged a shared pool of resources. Each product had a GM that was responsible for the P&L. The GM ran the development, Quality Assurance, Tech Support, and Product Market - those teams reported directly to the GM, who reported to then CEO Eubanks. But there was a shared sales, finance, and operations team. This laid the framework for massive growth, increased sales, and took Symantec to their IPO in 1989. Symantec purchased what was at the time the most popular CRM app called ACT! In 1993 Meanwhile, Peter Norton had a great suite of tools for working with DOS. Things that, well, maybe should have been built into operating systems (and mostly now are). Norton could compress files, do file recovery, etc. The cash Symantec raised allowed them to acquire The Peter Norton Company in 1999 which would completely change the face of the company. This gave them development tools for PC and Mac as Norton had been building those. This lead to the introduction of Symantec Antivirus for the Macintosh and called the anti-virus for PC Norton Antivirus because people already trusted that name. Within two years, with the added sales and marketing air cover that the Symantec sales machine provided, the Norton group was responsible for 82% of Symantecs total revenues. So much so that Symantec dropped building Q&A because Microsoft was winning in their market. I remember this moment pretty poignantly. Sure, there were other apps for the Mac like Virex, and other apps for Windows, like McAfee. But the Norton tools were the gold standard. At least until they later got bloated. The next decade was fast, from the outside looking in, except when Symantec acquired Veritas in 2004. This made sense as Symantec had become a solid player in the security space and before the cloud, backup seemed somewhat related. I'd used Backup Exec for a long time and watched Veritas products go from awesome to, well, not as awesome. John Thompson was the CEO through that decade and Symantec grew rapidly - purchasing systems management solution Altiris in 2007 and got a Data Loss Prevention solution that year in Vontu. Application Performance Management, or APM wasn't very security focused so that business until was picked up by Vector Capital in 2008. They also picked up MessageLabs and AppStream in 2008. Enrique Salem replaced Thompson and Symantec bought Versign's CA business in 2010. If you remember from our encryption episode, that was already spun off of RSA. Certificates are security-focused. Email encryption tool PGP and GuardianEdge were also picked up in 2010 providing key management tools for all those, um, keys the CA was issuing. These tools were never integrated properly though. They also picked up Rulespace in 2010 to get what's now their content filtering solution. Symantec acquired LiveOffice in 2012 to get enterprise vault and instant messaging security - continuing to solidify the line of security products. They also acquired Odyssey Software for SCCM plugins to get better at managing embedded, mobile, and rugged devices. Then came Nukona to get a MAM product, also in 2012. During this time, Steve Bennett was hired as CEO and fired in 2014. Then Michael Brown, although in the interim Veritas was demerged in 2014 and as their products started getting better they were sold to The Carlyle Group in 2016 for $8B. Then Greg Clark became CEO in 2016, when Symantec purchased Blue Coat. Greg Clark then orchestrated the LifeLock acquisition for $2.3B of that $8B. Thoma Bravo then bought CA business to merge with DigiCert in 2017. Then in 2019 Rick Hill became CEO. Does this seem like a lot of buying and selling? It is. But it also isn't. If you look at what Symantec has done, they have a lot of things they can sell customers for various needs in the information security space. At times, they've felt like a holding company. But ever since the Norton acquisition, they've had very specific moves that continue to solidify them as one of the top security vendors in the space. Their sales teams don't spend six days a week on the road and go to six customers a day, but they have a sales machine. And the've managed to leverage that to get inside what we call the buying tornado of many emergent technologies and then sell the company before the tornado ends. They still have Norton, of course. Even though practically every other product in the portfolio has come and gone over the years. What does all of this mean? The Broadcom acquisition of the enterprise security division maybe tells us that Symantec is about to leverage that $10+ billion dollars to buy more software companies. And sell more companies after a little integration and incubation, then getting out of it before the ocean gets too red, the tech too stale, or before Microsoft sherlocks them. Because that's what they do. And they do it profitably every single time. We often think of how an acquiring company gets a new product - but next time you see a company buying another one, think about this: that company probably had multiple offers. What did the team at the company being acquired get out of this deal? And we'll work on that in the next episode, when we explore the history of Broadcom. Thank you for sticking with us through this episode of the History of Computing Podcast and have a great day!

Autonomous cars? Who needs ‘em. If you want to improve your city then design it so that children have more autonomy. In this episode we hit the playground with architecture critic Alexandra Lange, the author of “The Design of Childhood.” To grow up into healthy, functional adults, kids need opportunities to experience freedom and independence.

In this episode, Gregory Shill, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Iowa College of Law, discusses his article "Should Law Subsidize Driving?," which will be published by the NYU Law Review. Shill begins by describing the terrible toll that automobiles inflict on America every year: 93,000 deaths (40,000 in crashes and another 53,000 killed prematurely by vehicle emissions), millions of serious injuries, and many hundreds of billions of dollars of damages due to lost lives alone. Then he explains how automobiles are subsidized not only by intentional public policy, but also by legal rules that prioritize and indemnify driving, while discouraging and stigmatizing other forms of transportation. He argues that this reflects policy choices that we can and must reverse, and discusses effective approaches to reform adopted by other countries, which have dramatically reduced driving and the terrible costs it imposes.

The relatable journey of Peter Norton and his Gold Coast Electrical Business. Guest: Peter Norton From: Enersol Electrical Social: @enersolelectrical If you like these success stories, you'll enjoy the following podcasts: From A to B with Corey Philip Proof that your trade business can run while you travel the world Creative marketing with David Gatto Stephen Scogins from A to B About this podcast with Peter Norton A little while ago, I had a listener email me asking if I could get some guests on the show that are a little easier to relate to than some of the tycoons I often speak with.  Of course, he who asks receives, so I put the feelers out in our private Facebook community to see if anyone that's currently grinding it out in business would want to come on and tell their story.  Subsequently, I received loads of replies. So many in fact that I had to politely decline the majority as I only have so much resource available to me from a production perspective. Anyway, so I was introduced to Peter from a member of the group and after a quick chat, I realised that he fit the profile of who I was looking for perfectly.  Peter Norton runs Enersol Electrical, which is a small electrical company on the Gold Coast of Queensland. Like many of you guys, he is slogging it out, building a business that encounters many of the obstacles that yours may.  In this conversation, Peter and I talk about some of the roadblocks that he's encountered along the way and some of the tactics that he's used to navigate them safely.  This is a great conversation with a down to earth guy, who's out there just like you. I hope you enjoy it.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can you 10x your visitor-to-lead capture rates while dramatically lowering your cost per acquisition (CPA)? Seems too good to be true, but it's not... This week on The Inbound Success Podcast, MOV-ology Co-Founder Peter Norton talks about his company's approach to addressing web form abandonment and how addressing this one stage in the funnel can make a major impact on marketing ROI. Some highlights from our discussion include:  The idea for MOV-ology was inspired by shopping cart abandonment solutions. Peter and his co-founders realized that there are more web forms than shopping carts, but no web form abandonment solutions on the market. MOV-ology's solution is simple to install, requiring a bit of Java Script pasted into the footer of your site. Companies are using MOV-ology to view data on web form abandonment in real time and adjust their form structure and messaging. MOV-ology's data shows that in many cases, longer forms with more fields actually produce higher conversion rates (counter to what marketers have long believed). The company's data shows that for every 1,000 people who visit a page, 100 start to fill out a form, 40 fill in enough information to be "contactable," but only one person actually submits the form. Form abandonment is higher on mobile devices than on desktop devices. When SMS text messages are used to follow up on visitors who abandon web forms, engagement is typically in the 80-90% range. Transparency is key when following up with visitors who abandon web forms. One of MOV-ology's clients was able to double their sales and cut their cost per acquisition (CPA) in half simply by addressing web form abandonment. MOV-ology's pricing is performance-based but starts at $99 per month. Listen to the podcast to learn how MOV-ology's web form abandonment solution can help to increase your visitor-to-lead conversions and make an immediate impact on ROI. Transcript Kathleen Booth (Host):Welcome back to the Inbound Success Podcast.My name is Kathleen Booth, and I'm your host. This week, my guest is Peter Norton, who is the CIO and co-founder of MOV-ology. Peter Norton (Guest): Hi. Thanks, Kathleen. Appreciate being here. Peter and Kathleen recording this episode Kathleen: Yes, I'm glad you're here because we've started working with you guys, and I am really intrigued by what MOV-ology does. When I first heard about it, it kind of seemed too good to be true, but it's not. Few of those things that seem too good to be true are really not too good to be true, so I'm excited to share this with listeners and also dig in a little bit more and talk about the use cases for what you guys offer. Before we go there, though, can you just take a few minutes and tell our listeners about yourself and about the company, and about what you do? About Peter Norton and MOV-ology Peter: Yeah. No, thank you. Peter Norton, and I have been in the direct marketing space/inbound leads space for many, many years and worked at fairly large email providers, and throughout that career, which led me to founding MOV-ology was just the optimization of the lead flow and finding areas to increase leads without reinventing the wheel, and figuring out ways to make small level adjustments that had large gains in what they were already doing. That was our "aha" moment, 2010, when my co-founder Tom Lee and I got together and talked about it. That's how MOV-ology started, was figuring out a way to create a large impact, with just some minor adjustments. That's where we came up with the idea, and the thought about shopping cart abandonment was always a very big thing through the last 10 or 15 years, but people were focusing very much on E-commerce and not on the web forms. There's more forms and more lead forms than there is commerce. That's when we looked into it, and over the last five or six years, we've been able to secure four patents in that space. We've been enjoying the software ride to where we are today. Kathleen: That's great. Now before we go any further, I have to make one disclaimer, which is that I'm getting over a cold and I guarantee you, anyone who's listening, that I will be coughing through this podcast. Peter: Me too. Kathleen: Peter is suffering from air quality issues. Share what's going on on your end. Peter: California's in an apocalypse, from what the rest of the country seems to think, but it's really bad. We have fires in all parts of California. It's not good. Definitely been thinking good thoughts and trying to help where we can, but yeah, the fires are still burning and it is everywhere you go; you can smell it in your house, in your car, all over the place. Kathleen: It's so sad what's going on out there. It's hard to believe. I'm knocking on a piece of wood as I say this, but out where I'm based, which is Annapolis, Maryland, we don't fall subject to very many natural disasters and weather phenomenons. The worst we get is we'll get, maybe if it's really terrible, a category one hurricane. Peter: Right. Kathleen: Maybe a snowstorm every now and then, but we're pretty damn lucky here. I look at what you guys are going through, and my heart just breaks for you. It's really awful. That might be the reason that the two of us sound, well I might sound a little bit more like Kathleen Turner, and I'm trying to think, who's a guy that has a really gravelly voice? Peter: Al Pacino? Kathleen: Yeah. We'll have our alter egos going today with our super gravelly voices and also our hacking smoker's coughs. So, back to the subject at hand. If I understand correctly, it sounds like really what led you to creating MOV-ology was this concept that there were a lot of solutions in place to deal with shopping cart abandonment on the E-commerce side but no equivalent for form abandonment on the traditional web form side of things. Is that accurate? Peter: Yes, that is correct. There obviously were other solutions that people were employing in regards to remarketing, but it wasn't specifically triggered off figuring out where in the form they abandoned and if they left identifiable information and contacting them in a legal manner that also did not create a lot of friction with that customer of potential customer. Kathleen: Yeah. Let's get kind of technical for a second. Somebody wants to use your product and they want to understand essentially, "Who is starting to fill out my forms but not finishing?" How does that work? Is it a complicated product to work with? How do you install it? Peter: Yeah, no that's a great question. I thank you for that. We painstakingly worked over the last several years to figure out how to make that as easy as possible. It is just a very simple line of JavaScript that is placed at the footer, kind of like where all the other marketing tags are placed, and from that point on, there's no more integration from their side. Kathleen: That's pretty sweet. So it sounds like even a technological newbie like me could figure it out. Peter: Right. Well our slogan here in the office and when we talk to people is "So simple, even IT can handle it." Kathleen: Ah. I won't tell that to my IT person. I love it. So full transparency, we've started using MOV-ology. I was really intrigued by it when I heard about it, and we're just really testing it out. When I first of it, I was like, "Oh, I'd love to know who's filling out my bottom-of-the-funnel consultation request forms and not hitting submit or not getting all the way through" because there is some intent data there that's really pretty interesting. Can you walk me through some of the different ways that the companies you're working with are using the product? How Companies Are Addressing Web Form Abandonment Peter: Yeah, absolutely. The nice thing about our product is that we capture information on all forms. Whether you have one form or thirty forms and whether they be different technologies that were used to build those forms or host those forms, we're able to capture that information and separate that data out for you in real time. We're able to tell you, for example, a thousand people went to this page with a form and a hundred people started it, one submitted. We can tell you 43 of them gave information, and of the information, 22 were contactable information, whether it be an address, a mobile phone, or an email address perform. We're able to provide that data in real time, so as campaigns are being run; in your case, you guys have different forms running for different reasons, so you're able to zone in very quickly and understand what's working, and even try changing some of the messaging that's going into that and/or understand on a personalized level for each form to re-market to those individuals as well. Those are some of the cases that we're seeing people use them for. Registration, lead forms, information is really big. The other thing that we're seeing a trend in with some of our clients is shorter forms: first name, last name, and email address. Simple as can be. It's amazing when auto fill data that's there and they don't hit "submit," people think, "Oh, the shorter form I have, I'm going to have a much higher impact." Actually, we're seeing more drop off with the shorter form than with the maybe five or six fields. It's very interesting data. Customers are trying to understand the behavior of these users that are trying to register and/or become a lead. Kathleen: So wait, I want to make sure I understand that correctly. If what you're saying I understand correctly, then it kind of runs counterintuitive to what we're all told, which is that the fewer fields you ask people to fill out, the more likely they are to complete the form. What I hear you saying is that that's not necessarily the case. Is that accurate? Peter: Correct, and we have some hard data to back up that particular use case. Again, there's many different use cases but we have a fairly substantial amount of data around that, and we have a specific use case around where it was just first name, last name, and email address. Kathleen: Now, why do you think that is? Peter: You know, it's trying to get into the psyche of the consumer, right, whether it be B2B or B2C. There's many different reasons. The top reason that we see, one, is something distracted them. We see a much higher abandonment on mobile obviously; that is what everybody is experiencing. Mobile's a big one. Two, we start to see the behavior of, "You know what? I don't want to start down this path of giving information. I'm just not ready right now" or something along that way. They just didn't have enough confidence to give that information, because a lot of consumers are getting used to that "give me your email address," hit next, "give me your phone number," hit next. They're kind of like, "Ah, I'm not ready for that yet. I'm interested but I'm not." The third kind of big reason is just "the wind blew in," for whatever reason. Somebody had another meeting- Kathleen: Somebody knocked on my door in the middle of it. Peter: Exactly, yeah. Kathleen: So on average, what percentage of people who begin to fill out forms don't complete them? Is there any kind of data around that? Peter: Yeah, on our data that we're tracking, if you have a thousand people go to the page for the form and a hundred people started the form, we see one would complete it, and of that, forty of those people would actually start to give information that actually was contactable information. Kathleen: Wait. Okay, so a thousand people come to the page. A hundred, or 10%, start the form, and what you're telling me is at the end of the day, only 1% are actually submitting. Peter: Correct. The reason why those numbers seem a little more probably not what most people see, but when you start getting to higher volume accounts and higher volume pages, those numbers are fairly true. It's a fairly low conversion. Less traffic; it's going to be less, but it takes, as people know, if you get a hundred or a thousand people to a form and it's small business, you're lucky to get one person to fill it out. Kathleen: That's actually shocking to me. I spend a lot of time talking to companies that are looking at working with agencies for their lead gen marketing. The conversation I always have, it's like the same conversation every time, which is, "Do you understand what your current funnel is? How many visitors do you get? How many leads do you get off of those visitors, and how many of those leads turn into sales?" Well first, not everybody really knows what their funnel is. That's problem number one. Problem number two, then, is they know what their funnel is, and I think a lot of companies assume that if you take the formula you just gave me where, let's say you have a thousand visitors. Ten of those turns into leads and one turns into a customer. A lot of people think that the easiest way to get double the customer number is to double the traffic when in fact, that's a longer, harder slog than just improving your conversion rate by a percent. That can have a substantial difference. What I'm hearing you say is that there is tremendous, like tremendously significant potential for improving conversion rates not even of getting more visitors to consider filling out the form, but getting the people that started to fill out the form to finish filling it out. Peter: Right, and that's the key. There are so many hand-raisers on all facets of forms that we wanted, from B2B, B2C, low volume, high volume. People are raising their hands, and I think everyone themselves, you and myself included, I do the same thing. I'm in the space and I still do it. I chuckle. I'm like, "I'm abandoning this form right now." It just happens, but it doesn't mean that I'm not a lead. It just happens, but it doesn't mean that I'm not going to lead and I actually would want to speak to that company just it wasn't the right time. Kathleen: I'm still reeling about that data because if what you say is true, and I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just saying it's amazing, then the potential is you can 10X your conversion rate just by eliminating form abandonment. Peter: Correct. Kathleen: That's huge. Peter: Or not even eliminating, just having a strategy to get back to those people. One thing we always talk internally, when some people, because the same thing, the same reaction we hear all the time, we just don't understand that. Think of a retail store. How many people walk into a store in the mall? You have 100 people walk into the store, you may have three or four purchase something, you have several browsing that are interested, and they walk away. What if you had a way to literally be in front of them, to nudge them about your product? The numbers are there from what we see in a physical sense, in the store, let alone, or brick and mortar, the same thing kind of goes to online. Having a marketing strategy, and more importantly, in regards to your hand warmers, which are a lead at some level, some scoring level, they are interested in your product. Kathleen: That's huge, that is huge. I mean, it really is. From a marketing stand point, that gets me very excited. Peter: Right. Kathleen: I will leave it there. It's exciting. Somebody hears us, and they're like "Wow, I need to do that." Obviously, having the data is just the first step. You put this technology on your site, you all of a sudden have this data that there's all these people that are starting to fill out your forms, and they're not completing them. What should people do with this data? How should they use it? You mentioned remarketing. What are some effective strategies that you've seen companies used to tackle this? How to Nurture Visitors Who Abandon Web Forms Peter: Well, contrary to a lot of stuff that I've been reading recently, where a lot of people are still debating if email is a proper marketing medium to get people back. I think it absolutely is a relevant tool when used correctly. In our particular case, when someone leaves an email address, whether it be to auto-fill and/or they typed it in themselves, our messaging that goes back to them, or that we recommend with our clients is, again we just call it a nudge and it's just a reminder, one or two hours after they abandon the form, a couple days from there, and then a few days from there. Our complaint rates are just not even on the charts, and the bounce rates are even lower, against all the industry stats that's out there. The reason why, is because they went to the brand, whatever it may be, and they know it. So when that email comes though the separate clients, it's not forceful, it's just "Hey, did you forget about us?" or "Do you have questions?" It's very non-aggressive, it's not like car sales where you see "Buy now, the sale ends in one hour." Just a gentle nudge and it gets a little more progressive 'til the last one says "Hey, we're going to leave you alone and just remember us in the future." The email has become a very, very big part of our strategy and working with our customers on. The other part is mobile. SMS, when someone leaves a mobile number, and it matches an SMS number, by law you are allowed to reach out to that person. You can put writing or content on that site saying we may send you a text message. The nice thing about mobile is that, they can say no. It's a text message, it's regulated by all the providers, which is fantastic. Email is not, so the spam traps and so on is a bit of a challenge that we deal with, but we have very high deliverability rates, just how we work with our clients on it. Mobile's been big because you see 80 to 90% engagement. That just takes it to a whole new level. Now you're on the person's phone and they love that relationship now because "Wait a minute, now I can be autonomous, but I can get what I want through my mobile, through chatting." The other part that we're now working with some customers on is through personalized direct mail, or personalized catalogs. So based on data that the customer may have collected, and they may be a catalog-type company or personalized messaging in the inbox of their ... or their mailbox, in conjunction with an email saying, "Hey, check your mailbox in the next two days," because we know that that personalized direct mail piece is mailed out with an offer just for you. It's become very, very engaging, and we're starting to see that. So those are the three areas that we're working with the customers on. Email, by far, is the lowest cost and the highest impact right now, and then, again, mobile, and then personalized direct mail. Kathleen: Oh, man. My head is swimming with ideas of ways I could do things with this because as soon as you said personalized ... the word personalized, what sprung to my head was we use Vidyard, and they have this awesome personalized video solution where it can pull a first name from your database and it can send that person a video, and it looks like ... it'll be a video, for example, of me holding a whiteboard, but they're first name written on it. It's just inserted there through the technology, and I can imagine that something like that would be incredibly powerful, like, "Hey, did you forget to hit submit on your form?" With the first name. That would be amazing. Peter: Yeah. Along with other personal information, you can get down to where they are, geographically, or demographically. There's so much that can be done. Absolutely. Kathleen: Now, it sounds like, from what you said, that key to doing this well is, for lack of a better word, acknowledging that. How you came to contact them. In other words, like, "We saw that you started filling out a form and didn't finish it." Instead of trying to pretend like it's a coincidence that this email is coming right after they started filling out a form. Fair to say? Peter: Right. Absolutely. Be as transparent as you can, and be as specific as you can so that it can trigger that memory 'cause, as you know, everybody has many different reasons as to why they abandoned. There could be lots going on, and they might, "Oh! That's right. I remember that." And so imagery that's very close to what they had done, language of what triggered them, so many different ways in regards to make it as personal as possible, what they experienced and when they abandoned that. Again, we've tested so much different creative, we continue to test it all the time, but that is, by far, the most impactful that we see with that. The other part is we're seeing the data come back from our clients is these are much higher converting customers as well because you think someone that comes through a process to the form, and the become a lead, and then they set up an appointment, lets just say for an in home service of some sort, and they look at a conversion rate of those versus people that can to the site, they left for whatever reason, we were able to get them to come back and they look at those conversion rates, and those conversion rates are two, three x considerably in regards to converting to a sale. Because again if you went to a website and you filled out a form and you left and you got brought back you're much more engaged. You're already part a lot of the roadblocks of purchasing and or whatever that service may be and committing to. Kathleen: Yeah, wow, that's great, and I definitely think its more inboundy to be upfront about how you came to get into their inbox. I feel like these days we're all pretty savvy we know that when were on Amazon.com and we're looking at that pair of running sneaker, then all of sudden we go to another website and that pair of running sneakers is following us around the internet, I think most people are pretty savvy to how that's happening. We're gonna figure out anyway, so it's nice to just be upfront. So people are using the data either to text their audience or direct mail them or email them, what kinds of results are you guys seeing with this? How Addressing Web Form Abandonment Can Impact Your Marketing Results Peter: That's a great question. We have a very specific use case that we will make available to everyone after this. And it was an online subscription show company and their the largest on the planet regards to a monthly subscription you can pay x amount of dollars and you get highly customized, highly detailed shoes sent to you- Kathleen: Wait there's a company that sends you a new pair of shoes every month and I don't know about it? We need to connect afterwards cause I might be their newest customer. Peter: Absolutely. There are several questions that are asked as a new user when you visit the website and so they had asked us to do a 30 to 40 day test because they were very skeptical after their several style questions you get to a section where you have to give a first and last name and email address, and then from that point you enter their store. So to speak, you get to see what they chose for you, and the different plans. So they were very skeptical thinking ah there's not that many people abandoning the process but they knew that they were driving a lot people to their website. They knew that. They knew a lot of people were going through the funnel  but they couldn't figure out easily throughout the millions of terabytes of data where people really were dropping out. S o, during that 45 day test that we did, 32,890 people filled out the form, their first, last name and email address, and went into the store. 101,000 started the form and abandoned. Kathleen: Wow. Peter: So the exact number is 101,203 were abandoned. So they started the form and they just left. And from that point what we did is we created a three part marketing strategy. One hour after they abandoned, two day and then three days so from the abandon. And the same things, messaging was just very soft, you know "Come on back, if you have any questions call here or click here to finish you form or to enter the store." So during that period we sent roughly 254,000 emails in a series of three emails so some people converted at one or two or three. And we were able to convert 25,815 people into sale so we almost doubled their sales in regards to conversions. Kathleen: That's unbelievable, and its basically as somebody I know would call it, "free chicken." You know it's just out there waiting for you to grab it. Peter: Right and there's CPA costs where they track the CPA cost to roughly 30 dollars and with this when you add in the 45 day program that we entered in, the 25000, they got down to 17 dollars CPA. Kathleen: What? That's ridiculous. In a good way. Peter: In a good way. No, this case its ... you know they have a dollar value towards it because they are not so much e-commerce, but we ... very similar for if it's just a lead form that they track internally with whatever it may be. But yeah this was a typical case that we see day in day out with out customers. Kathleen: That's amazing. Now do any of your customers use the form abandonment data in order to re-target using pay per click or social ads? Peter: They do and actually what they're finding is the data they were using to trigger people just going to their website and maybe this page and that page, and they were using dynamic page search ads what they learned is the data from the people in the form versus people that were going website were completely different, and we start employ different messaging, highly personalized, highly dynamic messaging for people that started the form. They're seeing results that they ... there's no white papers or case studies about those types of numbers in paid search. There is typically not a very high converting. You have to do a lot of volume and a lot ... there's a lot of those ads following around in around to get a person to come back. Kathleen: Really interesting. Now do you use ... I'm assuming you use your product for yourselves and how you market technology. Peter: Absolutely. Kathleen: So under the assumption that you are your own best practices, how are you guys using it? How MOV-ology Uses Its Own Solution To Get Results Peter: We actually kind of have a couple of fun demo pages which we're gonna have the ability for our visitors to go and try out. So we do different programs, one is just try it and then we'll send you an email to show you what we captured, and really what we call it is "Don't hit submit." Kathleen: I think this is so funny because every marketer on Earth is like "How do I get people to submit my form?" and you're like "I have a campaign entirely built around 'do not hit the submit button'." Peter: Exactly. Kathleen: That's awesome. Peter: Exactly, right so that's kind of what we do with our campaign. We have some within, and it's amazing. There's no submit button. The submit button actually, on one of our programs, moves so they can't touch it. It just keeps moving across the screen. Kathleen: That's so funny. I think that's so funny. Peter: Yeah, and then sometimes we do a really kindergarten version. "Okay, step one: put your email address. Step two: ..." And there's an arrow pointing to X the screen out, or "Go to the bathroom and come back and there'll be an email sitting in your box, or a text message." So we have some fun with that and do that. How Much Does MOV-ology Cost? Kathleen: I love it, that's great. Now, the biggest question, of course, that I'm sure everybody's wondering who's listening to this, because they're probably all like, "This is really cool. It seems too good to be true. How much does it cost? Because maybe it's too good to be true, or maybe it's so great, but is it affordable?" How does the pricing work for the product? Peter: Yeah, no, that's a great question. We're on a pay per lead basis. So we're performance-based. Kathleen: Okay. Peter: We want to be a partner, and the pricing just depends on the volume that we work with on that. Kathleen: Great, so it sounds like it's not outrageous. If you're ... Certainly you can try it for free, and if you're starting at $99 dollars a month, that's a pretty easy "yes" if you think you could do what some of your examples have done, which is double, triple, or more of their conversion rates. That becomes a no brainer. Lower your cost per acquisition in the course of doing it, even better. Peter: Right, exactly. Who Is MOV-ology Right For? Kathleen: That's great. Now, is there a certain volume of form fills or lead that a company needs to have to really make sense? Peter: You know, we always debate that internally and we always have those discussions. If you're email marketing and you're spending money to drive traffic, or making effort to drive traffic to sign up, it doesn't matter if you have 10 people a month or 1000 people in a day signing up for those forms. Our product works on all levels. And in some cases where they maybe only get 10 leads a month, the value of that product or service that they offer may be very high valued. So to them, one extra person in a month can make the difference in exceeding a huge stretch goal in sales, or just meeting goals of sales because sales have been challenging. So, we have some very, very low volume customers, and I'm talking 10-15 leads a month, but again, the commonality that we look for is, "Are you spending money and are you making efforts to get inbound leads?" And if you are, then our product is good for you. Kathleen: Yeah, that makes sense. Well, fascinating and you know, it's funny. I kind of made an exception for my conversation with you, because normally on this podcast, I do talk to a lot of marketing technology vendors, but generally I don't like the podcast to be an advertisement for the product because that's not what we're about. We're about, "What are some strategies and tactics you can use to get better results with your marketing?" But in your case, I just don't think there's any way to talk about it without talking about the product, because the product is the strategy, and it's so frickn' cool. I'm just personally really interested in it, so that's why I was like, "I think we're just going to talk about this product, because it's awesome." Peter: Well thank you. Kathleen: Yeah, I don't do that very often, in fact. And I usually coach my martech vendors, when I talk to them, not to talk about their product, so there you have it. For those who are listening, this is the first and potentially the only exception to that rule, but it's neat, and we're really having fun seeing the data coming in on our end. We're still very early, so to be perfectly candid, we're not at the stage where we have results yet, we're just watching data come in, but I'm excited. And that was part of why I wanted to talk to you was to pick your brain about the different ways that we could follow-up on some of that data. Peter: Awesome. Kathleen's Two Questions Kathleen: Now, there are two questions that I always ask my audience, that I really want to find your answers to. The first is, you obviously are working with lots of clients that are doing inbound marketing. That's kind of the customer base that you have. Who do you think is really knocking it out of the park right now? Could be a company or could be a person. Peter: You know, that's a great question. I have a few on the short list. And to Shama Hyder. I don't know if you use Zen Media. She is just, she's killing it. Kathleen: Say her name again so I can make sure I can get it right. Peter: Shama Hyder. Kathleen: Shama Hyder. Peter: She's with Zen Media. Yeah, and then Scott Brinker. And it's hard because I didn't say Scott just because of HubSpot, but I have followed Scott, and Scott, he is all over the planet, and just all about inbound, and marketing technology. So I'm going to go with Scott Brinker on that one. Kathleen: That's great. Well and the first name, Shama Hyder, is one that I have not heard before, so I always love that. I'm familiar with Scott Brinker and I agree with you. He is incredible. He somehow manages to be in, what seems like, 50 places at once at all times, but I always love new names because it's just a new person or company to check and follow. Kathleen: Now, the second question is that digital marketing is changing so quickly and I'm really curious how you stay up-to-date, how you educate yourself, and how you stay on the cutting edge. Peter: That's a good one. So, my go to is Google Alerts. I create Google Alerts all day long for anything that I see, and I just get instant. So all day long, I'm getting fed information. So I hear something in a meeting, or someone says something, I'm like, "Oh, that's interesting. I'd like to follow that." That's the first thing. And my second, and really where I spend most of my time, is on LinkedIn. There's constant groups that are always updating in all technology, all facets. And because they've really done a great job with the mobile part, I get alerts very easily on my phone that I can check. And if I like it, I'll read more about it, but those are my two that I use all day long. Kathleen: Any particular LinkedIn groups that you really recommend? Peter: Oh, I think Marketing and Technology Executives. Those are just ... The people in that group are so active, and I believe there's a couple hundred thousand in that group from the U.S. And it is all day long, chatter, talking, what worked, what didn't work, did you hear about this? It's a really good, engaging group and that's what I like. I like to have that, and sometimes people just put stuff out there like, "Hey, this doesn't have anything to do with us, but maybe it does." And then, "Oh." And then that leads to a great conversation. And people there are always active. I think probably at one point, 50 to 80 people are constantly, within minutes, are commenting on something or talking about something that they've seen. So, as big as we seem to think that we're able to know all the information that's out there, it's amazing how just someone says to me, "Wow, I've never even heard that." And that's what I like about that particular group. Kathleen: Yeah, that's a good one. I'll have to check that out. And my other question I have to ask you is, getting all those instant Google Alerts, how do you prevent yourself from complete shiny penny syndrome and getting distracted all day long? Peter: Oh, well it shuts off. When I go home, it is in the basket and turned off until the next morning, because I am chasing things all the time like, "That's neat, that's neat." But I've created a pretty good system, fool proof system, that ... And it's just a ranking system, one to five. And if it's one, it goes in there and that gets attention every week. And a two or three, maybe every quarter, and the other ones are maybe just when I'm really bored sitting on a plane for six hours. Kathleen: That's actually very interesting. I've never heard of that system before, and it is intriguing. So that's a new one. Peter: I've been doing that for a few years, because otherwise I was always, I didn't even know where to even start and then forget about something. When something came in and I was walking to a meeting and I saw the Google Alert, I'm like, "Oh, that's very interesting." Well, then I'll just mark it in the one folder, then I know that I can go back and look at that, and that's something I thought at that time was of value. Kathleen: Love that approach, that's great. Peter: Yeah. How to Contact Peter Kathleen: Well I am incredibly interested in what you guys are doing. I think it's fascinating. It's such a tremendous well of untapped potential from a lead gen standpoint, and I'm certain that there are many people listening who have questions and want to learn more about MOV-ology. What is the best way for them to learn more about the product, as well as to reach out to you online if they have questions? Peter: Perfect yeah, well thank you. So they can visit MOV-ology, it's M-O-V-O-L-O-G-Y, dot com. And on there they'll have information that we talked about today, along with all the other information. They can try to not submit a form to us, and also my contact information on there, but best is also looked up on LinkedIn. And it's just forward slash Norton Peter. N-O-R-T-O-N, Peter, P-E-T-E-R. Kathleen: All right, so you heard it here. Movology.com and I will put that link in the show notes. And your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to go to that page and not hit submit on the form. First time you'll ever hear that on this podcast for sure. So I'm going to definitely do that as soon as we finish. I think that'll be a lot of fun to test out. That's all we have for this week. So, if you liked what you heard, please give us a review on Apple Podcast or the platform of your choice. It makes a big difference, puts us in front of lots more listeners. And if you know somebody else that's doing kick-ass inbound marketing work, Tweet me @workmommywork, because I would love to interview them. That's it for this week. Thank you, Peter. Peter: Thank you Kathleen, I appreciate it.

Speaking on Rotary Health Hat Day speaking on "Mental health in Australia: The good, the bad and the frustrating" Dr. Peter Norton is the Professor of Clinical Psychology at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and Director of the Monash FEAR Clinic. He is the author of over 140 research papers and three books, mostly focusing on transdiagnostic approaches to understanding and treating anxiety and depressive disorders. He directs the FEAR Clinic, a specialty research and training centre at Monash University. Professor Norton was recently elected as a Fellow of the American Psychological Association. Anxiety disorders represent one of the most prevalent and costly psychological disorders in the world, have an estimated economic impact of over $46 billion per annum, and are associated with sizeable disability and quality of life impairment. Additionally, anxiety disorders seldom present alone, with rates of comorbid anxiety and mood disorder diagnoses as high as 60%. Professor Peter Norton, a world-leading expert in anxiety disorders, is a pioneer in transdiagnostic models of anxiety disorders - models which reconceptualise the common and unique factors across anxiety diagnoses - in an effort to develop treatments targeting the core features of anxiety disorder. Born in Canada, Professor Norton received his Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The initial conceptualisation for his research came from two influences: (1) the seemingly arbitrary nature of some lines of division among anxiety disorder diagnoses, and (2) the highly similar psychosocial and pharmacological treatments applied between diagnoses. Simply put, two fears might be extremely similar but be given different anxiety diagnoses (e.g., agoraphobia and social phobia) while two other fears may appear very different but be given the same diagnosis (e.g., obsessive-compulsive disorder), and yet the treatments for all of these are functionally identical. Professor Norton's work also includes refining treatments for anxiety and emotional disorders to improve dissemination and accessibility and modifying assessment and treatment procedures to increase cross-cultural appropriateness, using a variety of clinical, questionnaires, and experimental methodological approaches.

Doing group based CBT for anxiety but with people who don;t share a diagnosis? That's what Peter Norton has been doing and #beyondtheroom spoke to him at #transdx2018 in Cambridge

The Spokesmen Cycling Roundtable Podcast Episode #185 – Will beaconising the world further promote driving and kill off cycling? Part 2 Saturday 31st March 2018 HOST: Carlton Reid GUESTS: Roger Geffen of Cycling UK, Chris Star of Australia's 3CR community radio station, technology writer Max Glaskin, Lloyd Alter of Treehugger.com, and Caspar Hughes of Stop Killing Cyclists. SPONSOR: Jenson USA TOPIC: Episode two in a two-part series looking at adding driverless-car friendly sensors to bicycles, people, lamp-posts and animals. This follows a talk given at the Geneva Motor Show by a bike industry organisation boss – he called for all bicycles to have beacons so they can be seen by the semi- and fully-autonomous cars of the near feature. On the precious show, historian Peter Norton – author of “Fighting Traffic” – discussed the historical, ethical and mobility-centre issues that such a call raises. On this show five other experts give their points of view on this technology and whether the bike industry should be talking to the automotive and telecommunications industries who believe the "connected car" future could be one where no cyclists or pedestrians get killed on the roads. Will a beaconised future be one of unalloyed freedom for cyclists and pedestrians, or the very opposite?

The Spokesmen Cycling Roundtable Podcast Episode 151 Highway Robberies, Scraper Bikes, and Broken Clavicles March 3, 2017 Host: Carlton Reid This isn't the usual show, it's a Spokesmen Special, with three academics as guests. Host: CARLTON REID. PETER NORTON is associate professor of history at the University of Virginia and author of Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City. This reveals how, in the 1920s and 1930s, the American motor lobby invented and popularized the term “jaywalking” in order to reframe what streets were for (and they were no longer for pedestrians and cyclists). MELODY HOFFMAN of Minneapolis describes herself on her blog as an “urban bicycle scholar, critical feminist, community engagement professor.” Her book Bike Lanes are White Lanes discusses how seemingly benign cycle infrastructure can ring alarm bells with some black communities, why cycle advocacy can sometimes shout “white privilege”, and how “invisible riders” get neither recognition nor cycle facilities. (To grab a discount on Melody's book type in 6as16 for 30 percent off at the University of Nebraska book store.) CHRIS OLIVER is a professor of medicine and tweets as @CyclingSurgeon. He is a consultant orthopaedic trauma surgeon at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, and also advises the Scottish government on active travel. Once morbidly obese he lost 168lbs (76 kilos) and took up cycling to keep fit. He has ridden Lands End to John o'Groats, and with his daughter, he has also ridden coast to coast across America.
