Risk managers bezorgd om sociale media | FDMagazine Sociale media en de mogelijkheid die ze bieden een risico te vormen voor de reputatie van een bedrijf of diens vertrouwelijke informatie, vormen een significant risico voor Europese bedrijven. Zo blijkt uit een studie die gevoerd werd door de Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) in samenwerking met het Institute of Risk Management (IRM), waarin risk professionals werd gevraagd welke drie cyberrisico’s volgens hen de belangrijkste bedreiging vormen voor bedrijven in het algemeen en voor hun organisatie in het bijzonder. Bijna de helft van de respondenten haalde het risico op imagoschade via sociale media aan als risico voor bedrijven in het algemeen. Eén op vijf voegde daar ook het risico op het lekken van vertrouwelijke informatie via sociale media aan toe. Verder bleek uit de studie dat de meeste bedrijven een policy hebben rond het gebruik van sociale media (65%) of bezig zijn er een te implementeren (14%).

Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach ACTIVATE – Products For us, taking vitamins every day had become more hassle than it was worth. Swallowing horse pills and dumping supplement powders into water bottles was just not cutting it. We looked to vitamin-enhanced waters for an answer, but found labels filled with empty promises. At first, it seemed like nothing more than a convenient way to take your vitamins on the go – a cap that featured a moisture-resistant compartment inside where ingredients could be stored and released before drinking. According to our proprietary research, Vitamins A, B*, and C lose their potency sitting in water.* By storing the active ingredients inside our unique cap, separate from the water, the ingredients stayed powerful, fresh and offered the convenient, all-in-one delivery method we were seeking. On that day, ACTIVATE was born – a great tasting product that contains 0 grams of sugar, 0 calories, no preservatives, and is naturally sweetened with Stevia.

Your kid will be writing and modifying code in just a few minutes. Marshall Brain's quick and easy Python tutorials Let's say that you have children, and you would like to help them learn computer programming at a youngish age. Let's start with a something important: Every kid is different. The second thing to realize is that real analytical skills often don't start appearing until age 11 or 12 or 13 in many kids, so expecting huge breakthroughs prior to that may be unrealistic. That being said, there are lots of fun things you can try as early as five or six... Games Let's start with a few games.

Rally Interactive This is Rally. We're here to help you build digital things. We are passionate, agile, & live for the outdoors. It's Go Time The definition of a manifesto goes something like this: a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives, as one issued by a government, sovereign, or organization. Where & Why Passionate and agile is how a lot of small digital shops describe themselves these days, but "live for the outdoors", what’s up with that?

Social Media Vacatures CodeNow, the nonprofit that teaches inner city kids to code, lands in San Francisco It only took a few months for Wilfred, a teen from a rough neighborhood in Washington D.C., to begin handing out handwritten business cards with the title “future engineer.“ With a presence in D.C. and now San Francisco, CodeNow is a nonprofit that encourages high school students from inner city neighborhoods to pick up coding skills. Wilfred (pictured left, teaching a fellow student) was one of the first to join the program — he practiced up to five hours a night and has a proclivity for the programming language Ruby on Rails. Wilfred’s was just one of the many heartwarming stories shared at the launch event, held at a co-working space in San Francisco this week. “About 40 percent of the students have the potential to be developers,” said CodeNow founder Ryan Seashore during a phone interview with VentureBeat. There are already over 50 alumni of the CodeNow program, which has close ties to the tech community.

Social Media Customer Service is a Failure! Brian Solis inShare324 Part three in a series introducing The End of Business as Usual…Written by Frank Eliason (@frankeliason) Certainly not a statement you would expect to hear from the person formerly known as @ComcastCares, but I think it is an important perspective to consider if we are to build stronger relationships with customers. As I look around I see many interesting aspects of social media from large and small businesses. and I am very excited to see companies trying new things to reach their customers. Today I am SVP of Social Media for Citibank (of course thoughts here are my own). - It all starts with trust - Stories are the most powerful way to create & reinforce change - Human connections are against the grain for many businesses, but imperative for social media success - Many people are trying to make money off business leaders who do not understand social media (and they are being successful at it) - We are so stuck on measurements, yet we are measuring the wrong things #AdaptorDie
