How to Lead Better Brainstorming Sessions - Julie Gilbert - Now, New, Next

Sounds easy, right? Just schedule a meeting, title it “innovate new opportunities” or “strategic alignment” or one of those types of titles. Get your team together, kick off the meeting with a vision of the future, and unleash the brainstorming. Capture the good ideas, action item the next steps, and hit the ground running! But have you ever really taken a step back and watched the dynamics in the room?

If you are only hearing from the same people, those that feel safe speaking, you are not going to likely reinvent or innovate much of anything. Three quick process checks can help: Who is in the room? 1) Who is in the room? What is the gender diversity in the room? 2) During the brainstorming process, who gets to speak?

Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps coined a phrase Friday for something many have been talking about since Apple launched the iPad about six weeks ago.

Overwhelmed? Welcome the Age of Curation

“Curated computing” refers to the way Apple staff examines each piece of software written for iPhone OS devices before allowing it into (or blocking it from) the App Store. Epps is almost certainly not among the first 10,000 people on the planet to observe that the iPhone OS does not allow users to install whatever programs they wish, unless the devices are jailbroken. For that reason, it’s tempting to write off her coinage as an attention-grabbing rehash of a well-worn meme — especially because she plans to take this show on the road at conferences to talk about this observation.

That knowledge itself is anything but revelatory to anyone who has been paying even slight attention to what has already been said about the iPhone OS over the past few years. However, Epps is onto something with this word, curated. Home. Qrait. What's the difference between social bookmarking and content curation.

Soren Gordhamer is the organizer of the Wisdom 2.0 Conference, which brings together staff from Google, Facebook, Twitter and Zynga with others to explore living with awareness and wisdom in our modern age, at the end of February in Silicon Valley.

5 New Paradigms for a Socially Engaged Company

He is SorenG on Twitter. The age of social media is not just changing our personal lives, but is increasingly affecting how business is conducted. No longer satisfied with strictly top-down models that view employees as cogs in a system, businesses are quickly adapting to a new paradigm that emphasizes connection, collaboration and innovation. When people in companies and teams feel engaged, the benefits are significant. Towers Watson (formerly Towers Perrin), the global professional services firm, interviewed 90,000 employees in 18 countries, and found “companies with high employee engagement had a 19% increase in operating income and almost a 28% growth in earnings per share. 1.

The Stanford NLP (Natural Language Processing) Group

Named Entity Recognition (NER) labels sequences of words in a text which are the names of things, such as person and company names, or gene and protein names. It comes with well-engineered feature extractors for Named Entity Recognition, and many options for defining feature extractors. Included with the download are good named entity recognizers for English, particularly for the 3 classes (PERSON, ORGANIZATION, LOCATION), and we also make available on this page various other models for different languages and circumstances, including models trained on just the CoNLL 2003 English training data. Stanford NER is also known as CRFClassifier.

The Social Data Revolution(s) - Andreas Weigend - Now, New, Next

Information overload is more serious than ever. What are the implications for marketing? The world has witnessed two revolutions in the way consumer data has been solicited and collected. And consumers have changed the way they use the web to converse, shop and transact. The first data revolution came about when web commerce got going in earnest. Back then, customers had no choice but to share their intentions with firms. During the first data revolution, successful companies gained power by collecting, aggregating, and analyzing the customer data they collected.

An early example of user-generated content was Amazon.com’s reviews system. Later, Wikipedia increased transparency even more by allowing online collaboration. Today, the online world has shifted to a model of collaboration and explicit data creation.

Did Google Just Declare War on Demand Media?: Tech News and Analysis « Over the past few months, there has been a growing chorus of criticism — much of it anecdotal, but coming from a number of respected technology observers — about Google’s increasingly useless search results.

Did Google Just Declare War on Demand Media?: Tech News and Analysis «

Now the web giant has responded to these criticisms in a blog post, saying it doesn’t believe its search is getting any worse (if anything, it claims results have improved), but noting that it is going to be coming down hard on so-called “content farms” that try to game its algorithm with low-quality pages filled with keywords. And that could mean some pain for Demand Media, which is planning a closely-watched initial public offering that could launch as soon as next week.

The Google blog post came from Matt Cutts, who heads up the company’s search-spam team. Demand Media is by far the largest player, however, and that means it could bear the brunt of Google’s wrath.
