Twitter was never designed to be a social network but it has become one. It is a social media channel that provides leverage and amplification. It has enabled the localised and physical word of mouth to now become "world of mouth". Social media with its exponential multiplier effect is the amplifying agent that marketers used to dream about.

Taming the Social Media Marketing BeastJeff Bullas
What if someone said “Today we are announcing three revolutionary products that will transform your business”
The first one allows you to self publish to the world with one click
The second enables you to market your brand without begging the gatekeepers or paying big media. It doesn’t cost a cent
The third is a breakthrough two-way communication platform that is free
But they are not three separate products – it’s called “Social Media”.
This take on social media…..inspired by Steve Jobs famous iPhone announcement of the iPhone in 2007, highlights the three vital components of social media.
It’s unrivalled power to publish, market and communicate to a global community in real time.
In essence it is the biggest change to publishing in 550 years (Gutenberg would be pleased), the biggest shift in marketing since the invention of the television and the most important communication revolution since the telephone.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Stephen King - Author
Editor's Notes
For many years I been attracted to technology a bit like a kid in a lolly shop and it still today continues to amaze me. It was Arthur C Clarke the science fiction writer who said that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic” I want to tell you a short story about my Grandfather 1. The amazement of talking while driving – I even remember what he said and where I was and it was 25 years ago 2. Logging into Facebook for the first time and seeing friends and colleagues display on my screen 3. When I started using Twitter I was a bit underwhelmed but was attracted to it more as novelty factor I then started my blog and discovered that it was a great social network to to drive traffic to my blog Today it still drives more traffic today to my blog than any other social media platform Twitter was never designed to be a social network but it has become one. In fact it was designed initially in 2006 to used by individuals as an SMS type service to communicate with a small group at the podcasting company Odeo. When I first joined Twitter in 2008, I was underwhelmed and wondered as to its usefulness. Its early attraction to me was its novelty factor. It has overcome this challenge and four years later it has built an impressive resume. Over 140 million active users as of 2012 Generates over 340 million tweets daily Handles over 1.6 billion search queries per day Tenth most visited site on the internet In the nearly six years since its founding over 600 million users have registered Twitter accounts. Twitter Provides Leverage This is Twitter’s biggest and best advantage. Social media allowed the word “viral” to be associated with marketing rather than the great plagues of the last few centuries. It has enabled the localised and physical word of mouth to now become “world of mouth”. Social media with its exponential multiplier effect is the amplifying agent that marketers used to dream about. Many business owners still do not understand the global multiplying effect to word of mouth that it brings. What I Discovered about Twitter Despite not being impressed initially with its rather simple interface and perceived lack of usefulness I stuck with tweeting an occasional tweet here and there. After playing with it for a few months I discovered it was driving traffic to my blog in numbers that surprised me. It now had my undivided and focused attention! I realised that if I wanted more traffic to the blog then building a large Twitter tribe of followers could be a great benefit to providing more visibility to my blog. One Tweet at a Time Stephen King, the fiction writer who has written 47 novels and according to Forbes earned $39 million last year, when asked, how he was so prolific and successful, had this to say. “ How do you write?” I invariably answer, “One word at a time,” and the answer is invariably dismissed. But that is all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That’s all. One stone at a time. But I’ve read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope.” ― Stephen King Being successful with Twitter is no different. One tweet at a time.
1. Size matters on Twitter Don’t believe it when people tell you that its just the quality and not the size of your following on Twitter that matters.That is bollocks! Both are important A large Twitter following provides scale and leverage to market your business, blog or website. Building a Twitter following applies the law of reciprocation. If you follow someone then there is this underlying obligation to follow you back. The more credible your account looks with credibility displayed by links to a blog and a sizeable Twitter following will make you more attractive to be followed back.
2. Build a targeted tribe on Twitter This is where it starts to scale when you not only have a big following but a tribe that wants to hear what you have to say and links that take them to valuable content that they want to read and view, whether it is yours or another trusted source. Your tweets need to be relevant to your followers.
There are other tools that you can use to build a Twitter following and another on I use is Twellow, that is like the yellow pages of Twitter.
If you want to build a targeted following then I have found that Tweepi is a great tool to assist you with that (and it is free). Applying the law of reciprocation, follow people’s (preferably top bloggers with large followings) followers in the market segment that you’re focused on. In the main these followers are already following that person because they are interested in that topic area. It is a list that is already qualified for you. For example if I follow Chris Brogan’s followers then I am quite confident that they are interested in social media. If I tweet about social media then they are going to be interested in my links.
3. Tweet “evergreen” content Online your content defines you. The challenge for many is coming up with the ideas for tweets and the content that they lead to. Stephen King reveals the secret to finding the inspiration and ideas for your content- “you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot” Some people fall into the trap of just tweeting news and topical content. If you want to build and enduring presence on Twitter and on social media including blogs then link to content that is useful and helpful not just this week but also next week and in one years time. Link to content such as “how to” videos or articles that adds value well into the future and isn’t dated within 24 hours because it is now “old news”. Aim to educate, entertain and inspire and not just inform.
4. Include links to liquid and contagious content 1. Tweeting great content is essential. If you want people to share you then you need to make your content compelling and contagious. That could be through assisting people in solving problems. 2. It must do one of 4 things, entertain. inform, educate inspire This takes work but it can be done. Create content that is so good it begs to be shared. 3. Coca Cola have realised the power of this and have changed their marketing strategy from “creative excellence” to “content excellence”. Their strategy is labelled as “liquid and linked”.
On Twitter people expect to be taken to content that is multi-media rich. It needs to include media such as videos, Slideshare presentations, podcasts, images and photos. So think multi-media tweets. Twitter is now allowing you to view these within your Twitter account.
There is a significant trend happening on the social web and it is the increasingly important communication technique of getting your message across via visual formats and media 1. Research on Facebook show that photos are shared 50% more than any other updates 2. I have been experimenting with including infographics to communicate text and data with surprsing results over the last 9 months 3. I pinned an Infographic from a recent post that contained an Infographic and it in just a couple of weeks been repinned over 300 timres
There are many emerging signs with Facebook has just spent $1 billion acquiring Instagram. Pinterest according to Experian is now the 3 rd biggest social network in the US A study from Boticca an online Boutique shows that Pinterest is driving 10% of its sales. It essentially uses its boards as a visual online category and product image listing that links stratght through to the product pages on its ecommerce store Jamie Oliver uses Instagram to great eefect and has over 400,000 followers on Instagram
Many social media purists don’t agree with this but it works and saves a lot of time. I have been labelled a Twitter maverick by some but my principle on this is to “automate the content distribution but not the conversation“. This balances efficiency with engagement. I automate the tweeting of my content about 90% of the time. It provides visibility online and it keeps my content in the Twitter stream. I tweet on average one tweet every 15 minutes. The two tools that save me 100 hours a week and let me sleep
I enjoy sharing other bloggers content that I trust. Twitterfeed.com enables me to share their content on Twitter automatically by detecting their RSS feed when they publish their post. It achieves two objectives. It enables me to continue to share content that adds value and secondly sharing content from other bloggers sometimes ends up in them sharing your content. Send it with their Twitter handle so they know you have tweeted their link. That is what I call a win-win!
Productivity tool #1. Socialoomph – This saves me about 80 hours a week at least. I use social oomph several ways but mostly for these two tasks Automates the sending of my tweets Automatically follows people back ( I can’t follow manually back 3,000 people a month, I need to sleep!)
1. In a world where everyone is time poor you have only seconds to make them click. Your headline is the start of the seduction. It applies to all of your content but on Twitter it is vital. 2. David once famously rewrote the headline for a piece of copy over 100 times 3. Headlines that work List posts How to’s The latest facts and figures for your industry Negative headlines
I am often asked which network. As many relevant networks that time and resources allow We all have our preferred social networks. Some are Facebook fanatics, others are LinkedIn legends and some are Twitter twerps. Don’t miss a chance to get your content and brand where your customers hang out. Tweet links to content on a variety of social networks. Edelman publishes a trust barometer every year to measure what creates trust online. They have discovered that if someone only sees your brand once your trust factor is only 4%. If they see you mentioned 3-5 times it rises above 50%. The lesson here is “be seen everywhere” Tweet links to content that is published to the major social networks in a variety of formats.
Your Twitter account should link to a home that you own. You should also be tweeting links to take people to that hub (it could be a blog or a website). Don’t build your home portal to the web on someome else’s platform. Build your own foundation and hub. This should be a blog with your domain name and that is self hosted. Don’t sign away your rights to your content to someone else.
Sure, post your articles to your Facebook page or a Tumblr account but don’t hand over the keys to a landlord, you never know when he might want to sell or demolish your home. Invest in your own online asset. I have seen companies just go online with facebook – dangerous!
This will provide the focus and the why for building an online brand in your category of choice. – Sinek “Start with the Why” or Robinson On Twitter I tweet about subjects that are the intersection of my passions and interests that combined provide nuclear fuel to drive my social media endeavours. You need to plug your tweets into that power source. It provides the rocket fuel to rise early, it provides the energy to stay up late,it provides the ideas and the inspiration for the writing and the content. Many of us have many things we love but you will need to choose the topic area for your Twitter account and blog and stick to it.
Stephen King writes one word at a time but he produces 2,000 words a day 7 days a week. I rise at 4.30 am to write and market my blog You need to be relentless. What enables him to do this is his passion for his craft. This is the fuel. You need to be relentless in the production of content to tweet and the use of Twitter to market and distribute that content.one tweet at a time.
