Whilst I was busy earlier this week forgetting I had a blog, the Quest-Online-Plagiarising-BioWare kerfuffle culminated in Derek Smart pointing his finger at his hired PR, the hired PR proofreading her apology as well as she proofread the initial press release, and Derek Smart then pointing his other finger at BioWare for stealing the quote from John Smedley in the first place. (Oh, someone else did it first? That's ok then!) John Smedley of SOE, actually uttered those same words in his New Orleans Fan Fair 2004 keynote speech which predates Ray Muzyka's own commentary in the 2008 press release for Bioware's upcoming Star Wars : The Old Republic MMO. John said "Traditionally, massively multiplier [sic] online games have been about three basic gameplay elements - combat, exploration and character progression.

In Everquest 2, we've added a fourth element to the equation; a story" But what do we know? So I asked John Smedley. Um. I have no idea of [sic] I ever said that. Or maybe not. Macen hieno blogi. Why and How to Use Blogs to Promote Your Library's Services. Cover Story Why and How to Use Blogs to Promote Your Library's Services by Darlene Fichter Librarians have had to learn how to do a lot with just a little in order to promote awareness of their programs and services. They have seized the opportunities to market libraries in the real world via traditional media: newspapers, corporate newsletters, radio, and TV. Many libraries produce brochures, pathfinders, and their own newsletters.

So it is no surprise to see librarians stepping up to the plate and spreading the word online with blogs. Savvy librarians have identified blogs as another means to market libraries and their services. Exactly What Is a Blog, Anyway? If "blog" is a term that's new to you, don't be concerned. Blog, short for Weblog, is a Web site that contains brief entries arranged in reverse chronological order. In order to get a feel for the world of blogging, it helps to get a handle on the lingo. Why Have These Weblogs Been Spreading Like Wildfire? • The St. 1. 2. 3. Ajankohtaispoimintoja - Blogit ja Internet-puhelut kiinnostavat. Vuoden 2007 keväällä 84 prosenttia 16-74-vuotiaista suomalaisista ilmoitti käyttäneensä tietokonetta tutkimusta edeltäneen vuoden aikana. Muissa Pohjoismaissa käyttäjiä oli vielä enemmän eli yhdeksän kymmenestä, sen sijaan EU-maissa asuvista vähemmän eli kaksi kolmesta.

Tietotekniikkaa työssään käyttävien osuus vaihtelee Suomessa selvästi taajama-asteen mukaan: työssään tietokonetta käytti pääkaupunkiseudulla 87 prosenttia ja muualla maassa 65 prosenttia vuonna 2007. Tiedot perustuvat Tilastokeskuksen tuoreeseen katsaukseen Tieto- ja viestintätekniikka arjessa, johon on koottu keväällä 2007 toteutetun haastattelututkimuksen tuloksia suomalaisten tieto- ja viestintätekniikan käytöstä.

Tutkimus sisältää myös yleiseurooppalaiseen vertailuun tarvittavat kysymykset. Katsauksessa tarkastellaan myös sosiaalisen median käsitettä ja pohditaan, muuttuuko yhteisöllisyys viestintätapojen muutoksen mukana. Internetiä käyttävän väestön osuus kasvaa Euroopassa pohjoiseen tultaessa. Social Media Will Change Your Business. Look past the yakkers, hobbyists, and political mobs.

Firmablogit harvinaisia Kuva: Kimmo Mäntylä/Lehtikuva 15.8.2007 14:01 Blogit eivät sittenkään mullistaneet markkinointia, sillä blogeista vain häviävän pieni osa vaikuttaa kuluttajien käyttäytymiseen. Firmablogit ovat kuitenkin vakiinnuttaneet asemansa muuta markkinointia tukevana keinona. Tutkimusyritys MarketingSherpa arvioi pari vuotta sitten, että blogeista vain kolme prosentin sadasosaa vaikuttaa kuluttajien käyttäytymiseen. Vallankumouksellisena yritysblogeissa voi pitää sitä, että markkinointi perustuu niissä asiasisältöön ja aitouteen. Blogit avaavat läheisemmän suhteen yritykseen – Lukija oppii ainakin jollakin tasolla tuntemaan kirjoittajaa, ja sitä kautta syntyy läheisempi yhteys yritykseen, sanoo joensuulainen digimedia-alan yrittäjä Matti Hirvonen. Hirvonen aloitti yritysbloginsa huhtikuussa. Hän ei halua kertoa, kuinka paljon kävijämäärät ovat nousseet.

Advertisement It’s not hard to design a weblog, but it’s getting harder when you try to achieve a unique weblog design.

Biblioteksrelaterat. Lite avis är man allt på våra amerikanska kolleger som just nu engagerar sig i ALA 2009 Annual Conference i Chicago. Man räknar med att 25.000 personer samlas. Det hela inleds med att konferensdeltagarna sprider ut sig på olika bibliotek i Chicago och volontärjobbar - katalogiserar, arkiverar etc. Sen drar man igång "An Epic Bookmobile Journey" där författaren och journalisten Peter Laufer tillsammans med författaren/producenten Tom Corwin inleder en road trip genom USA i en bokbuss fylld med donerade böcker.

De kommer att stanna i småstäder och erbjuda böcker i utbyte mot korta intervjuer om hur böcker har förändrat människors liv. Det hela kommer att filmas för en dokumentär. Så småningom vidtar "the fifth annual Library Book Cart Drill Team Championship" där biblioteksanställda utför dansrutiner iklädda kostymer och medförande snyggt dekorerade bokvagnar. Man kan trösta sig med den virtuella konferensen - fast den är rätt dyr att delta i. Konferenswiki. Biblioteksbloggen. Det händer mycket på utbildningsområdet, de gamla traditionella universitetskurserna har fått konkurrens av OCW (OpenCourseWare), öppna akademiska nätutbildningar tillgängliga för vem som helst. MIT, Harvard m.fl. amerikanska universitet har gått i spetsen, men i år har även Stockholms universitet hakat på tåget.

Gränsen mellan OCW och OER (Open Educational Resources) är något flytande, men OER handlar mer om enstaka lärobjekt i form av filmer, ljudfiler, textfiler, e-publikationer, quizz m.m., som är fria att använda. Det finns redan idag mängder av OER på nätet, problemet är möjligen att hitta just det man är i behov av. Ett sätt att börja utforska OER-möjligheterna är att skapa en egen PLE. Det senaste tillskottet i den allt mer diversifierade utbildningsfloran är s.k. Alla dessa nya lärmöjligheter diskuteras mycket inom skol- och universitetsvärlden, men borde diskuteras inom alla organisationer, som har behov av ständig kompetensutveckling, inte minst bibliotek.
