This is an update to an earlier presentation on Facebook's planned change to their policy on disabling comments made to Wall posts. Currently, Page administrators have the ability to disable user comments to Wall posts, photos, and videos. They will be changing that policy to open up post comments on all Pages with a few exceptions.
The 2014 MDigitalLIfe Social Oncology Project ReportW2O Group
One year ago, the Social Oncology Project 2013 report was published ahead of the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting, for the first time quantifying the scope and nature of digital conversations about oncology - over 16 million of them.
In 2014, we're focusing in on the trends in those cancer conversations, paying particular attention to those we've culled from the MDigitalLife data set – the world's first and only database that maps physicians' digital properties to their official government registries.

Common Sense for the C-Suite: Relevance is the New ReputationW2O Group
In today’s social/digital reality, Relevance has become the new reputation. This means that an organization must connect consistently and authentically on multiple levels with its key audiences — in areas that are both meaningful to the business- its core purpose and strategic direction - as well as areas that are meaningful to its audiences. What makes this different is the speed at which relevance forms and dissipates and the agility necessary to harness it for sustained growth and success.
In an age where information is ubiquitous and people move from one subject to another in a blink of eye, if your brand, product, service or company isn’t on their radar you don’t exist.
It’s all about connection.
In this issue of Common Sense for the C-Suite, we explore how organizations can drive growth and remain relevant in a crowded, distracted landscape.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
