About Tekri | Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Insitute. Google vs. Yahoo: Who Has the Right Social Strategy? The Social Analyst is a weekly column by Mashable Co-Editor Ben Parr, where he digs into social media trends and how they are affecting companies in the space. Facebook; Twitter; LinkedIn; YouTube; Wordpress: these companies, built from the ground-up, are mainstays in social media. None of them were created by a large tech company, and all but one remains independent. It's an interesting phenomenon, when you think about it. Large tech companies have had limited to no success creating their own social media home runs. In an era where communication is increasingly taking place on these channels, the inability of these digital giants to build social networks is rather striking.
Two titans in particular are making social media headlines for different reasons: Yahoo has decided not to create it own social network, but is instead striking partnership deals with Facebook and Twitter. Partnership vs. in-house development; content vs. technology; Yahoo vs. Let's take a look, shall we? SaaS Blog - Chaotic Flow by Joel York.

Search-Based Applications (SBA) and enterprise search Group News. Media Re:public. Pittsburgh, PA – I’ve landed in the unfamiliar nation of U.S. progressive politics, specifically its online army. Netroots Nation is the reincarnation of YearlyKos, which was the conference that grew out of the Daily Kos.
I’m on a panel called Democracy Without Newspapers, with many* people who have been thinking and speaking about this stuff much longer than I have. So I’m pondering what to say to this audience. Here’s what I’m thinking: – assuming (hoping, praying) you folks care not just about “big D” but also “little ‘d’” democracy, then you should sign up for the movement (it doesn’t exist yet, tho colleague I chatted with on the plane mentioned plans to launch it, will let you know when that goes public) to reinvent journalism. . – I say it doesn’t exist yet because what’s happened till now has mostly been based (IMO) on new models that reject the old, attempts to “fix” the old, or attempts to “save” the old. Some exampes I might mention: Crowdsourcing by Gazeta Wyborcza. A quick guide to the maxims of new media | Mark Coddington. We journalism/new media nerds like to think of ourselves as being pretty open, but we can be a bit clannish at times: We close ranks to defend a few core principles, we have our own hierarchy of gurus and we use our own set of words and phrases.
When I dove into the future-of-journalism world, I quickly found that a few of these phrases function as shorthand for big, fundamental ideas. They often get traded without explanation and sometimes without links, leaving the uninitiated pretty confused and possibly a little turned off, too. Consider this your dictionary for those phrases. If you’ve got any more suggestions, by all means, let me know in the comments. “Do what you do best and link to the rest.” Where it came from: This is the signature phrase of Jeff Jarvis, the Entertainment Weekly/TV Guide/San Francisco Examiner veteran, CUNY journalism prof and author of “What Would Google Do?” “If the news is important, it will find me.” “Information wants to be free.” “The sources go direct.” Orchestrascommunication-1227201178207726-9.pdf (application/pdf.
SI Web and New Media Strategy - FAQ. White paper – distributed influence: quantifying the impact of s. I am delighted to share with you a white paper outlining the thoughts and views of several key stakeholders who met late last year to discuss the issue of measuring online influence. Download: “Distributed influence: quantifying the impact of social media” (PDF) The catalyst behind this document was the publication of Edelman’s Social Media Index in July 2007 with David Brain.
This attempted to propose a new way of calculating an individuals online influence beyond the ‘traditional’ method of analysing a blog’s inbound links to incorporate other social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook. The white paper aims to address this issue. It is not written as a fait accompli but rather as a contribution to the conversation. In the true spirit of social media, the roundtable and consequently this white paper, discussed far more than the original question regarding how to measure online influence but also focused on: I welcome your thoughts and comments about this document. Like this: 13 Ways (and 147 Tools) to Help Your Library Save Money on Techn. Below you will see my 13 Ways (and 147 Tools) to Help Your Library Save Money on Technology. These are my favorite options for libraries to use as alternatives to the expensive paid services and software that we use now, usually because our parent organizations or IT departments have gone along with the mainstream, bought the expensive stuff from the well-known companies, and never blinked.
But now that we are all facing budget crunches the likes of which we haven’t seen in decades, we have a chance to show these alternatives to the decision-makers, save the organization some money, and support the open source movement at the same time. I have personally used all of these, at least in a demo setting. Most of them I use on a regular basis at work or at home. So trust me — these recommendations do not come lightly! I think these tools are darn good, otherwise they wouldn’t have made the cut. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. SynapticWeb. Yesmail > Home. More Thoughts on Your New Media Equity. As I wrote in a post here back in May, the sphere of control you have over your digital assets (on the left) is impacted by the degrees of interaction you and your content are likely to have in social networks and as the content is exposed to social consumption (on the right).
When I was talking about the value of social conversation and interest for news companies I was focusing on your story. Looking at the diagram I drew back then, I can see how the statement is valid for news organizations as well. New media companies are borrowing a page out of the social activation concept. The Huffington Post integrated Google Connect on the site recently.
Look for the blue tab with the bubble that says "connect to social news". One only needs to take a look at the sentiment captured on Twitter after the redesign of CNN.com to notice that the lack of a comments or participation option is the most common reason why people don't like it.

Note the timeline only presents non-electronic innovations and developments from alphabets to writing to printing and information organization and conventions.

I present below some brief comments on why I created this timeline, some caveats about its contents, and some basic use tips. Why This Timeline? ). Michele M. Martin's ePortfolio - home. Can Social Network Analysis Help You Improve Your Social Media S. In our book, The Networked Nonprofit, co-authored with Allison Fine, we provide an overview of mapping your social network in Twitter and other sites using some of the social network analysis tools available.
As someone who loves to play with analytics, visuals, maps, and other geekery, I've been wanting to explore in more depth the how-to and the techniques. To take my learning deeper on social network analysis and mapping techniques and how they can be applied them to a social media strategy, I took a workshop with Marc Smith. He is a self-described "Internet Sociologist" and developer of NodeXL. The workshop was organized by colleague, Tatyana Kanzavelli This FREE software works as an add-on template in Excel, allows you import data from Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Email and create social network analysis maps.
What I liked best about this workshop and the instructor is that it wasn't on the software features. I loved getting context in workshops and Marc didn't disappoint. Market Data, Video and News from the Wall Street Journal Digital. All social Networks. Browser Size: a tool to see how others view your website. In a newspaper, the most important story is featured on the front page. If it's a really important piece, then it's placed "above the fold," which means you can find it on the top half of the first page — the bottom half is folded behind and isn't readily seen when you first look at the newspaper. The same concept applies to browsers as well. There's no clear line for "above the fold" on a browser — there are many different sizes of monitors, browsers are not always full screen and other things like toolbars can take up space.
Consider a "Donate" button on a non-profit site. If it's far down the page, you may not see it when you first view the page. You can of course scroll downwards, but many people don't scroll and will miss it entirely. For example, on the download page for Google Earth, the install rate increased by 10% when we moved the "Download" button 100 pixels upward. To help you understand how everyone sees your website, we created a tool called Browser Size in our 20% time. Inmagic Inc. This is like – associative knowledge network. During the last two years, we have been working on ThisIsLike.Com – the associative knowledge network that allows you to find people, places, things, and events that are "like" each other (similar or related).
It started as an add-on to enhance the already existing travel guide waytorussia.net – so that we could recommend people the clubs, cafes, restaurants that are similar to each other. However, it soon grew into a project on its own, encompassing a larger scope of information – from artists and galleries to city areas and philosophers. In a way, it's like Last.Fm but for everything else, not only music, and it's not based on the actual acts of purchasing or consuming to create a recommendation – but a pure associative link. ThisIsLike nowadays is an educational resource where the new kind of knowledge is realized, based on the connection, relationship between items, rather than items themselves (although they also play an important role to help people navigate through ideas).

Ms. New Media Literacies -- A S. Last week, I shared the syllabus for my Transmedia Storytelling and Entertainment class and was blown away by the intensity of interest out there. I don’t expect the same level of excitement over this class, since there are many such classes out there around the world, but I figured I would share it just the same. This course is pretty much over-subscribed at USC so I am not trying to attract new students — just sharing models and resources with others doing work in this area. What does it mean to be “literate” and how has this changed as a consequence of the introduction of new communication technologies?
