ITV services for socializing in public placesPedro Almeida
This document discusses using interactive television (iTV) services to enable social viewing experiences in public places. It notes that while iTV and public display networks both provide TV-centered experiences, they have traditionally been separate fields. The document proposes extending social TV platforms developed for the home to public locations to create personalized but highly social viewing experiences. It outlines some of the challenges of supporting collective viewing and collaborative decision making in public spaces using iTV, such as developing appropriate interaction models for multi-user input from alternative devices. The document concludes that iTV provides a technical means for new socially-oriented services in public viewing environments.
Activity Streams are a way to publish and share updates about user activities and interactions on websites and applications. They allow users to see updates from others they follow in a centralized stream. Several major websites like GitHub, Facebook, and WordPress use activity streams to share updates. The DISO project is working to develop open standards for activity streams using microformats. The Activity Streams Ruby gem implements these standards, allowing developers to log activity streams in their Rails applications and enable social features like content sharing and discovery.

This document discusses how to run effective meetings. It notes that meetings are important for developing interpersonal, leadership, teamwork and communication skills. It recommends following the 4 P's, having clear roles and responsibilities, starting and ending meetings on time, and having someone in charge. An agenda is crucial and should be circulated in advance to provide structure, define decisions, and plan for an effective outcome. Meeting minutes should confirm decisions, record actions and responsibilities, and provide timelines and history for absentees. Basic rules should establish who can speak, whether and how much arguing is allowed, and what is and isn't permitted. Participants can help by arriving on time, being prepared, listening, and contributing appropriately.
Employees need to have a strong sense of purpose to be motivated to act. Learn how to go beyond the standard performance evaluation to make it the most meaningful process in the motivation of your staff and the development of your team.

The document discusses strategies for dealing with difficult people. It identifies different types of difficult personalities, including aggressors like "The Tank" and passives like "The Whiner." Effective communication is key, such as being aware of body language and generational differences. The document recommends maintaining confidence, having realistic expectations, not trying to change the difficult person, refusing to play their games, and creating a strategy for dealing with them. Specific techniques are outlined, like pacing, backtracking, clarifying intent, and agreeing to disagree. Scenarios provide examples of difficult situations and strategies to address them.
TV Discovery & Enjoy - a New Approach to Help Users Finding the Right TV Prog...Pedro Almeida
This document summarizes research into developing a new TV program discovery application called TV Discovery & Enjoy (TvDE). TvDE aims to help users more easily find TV programs to watch by considering their preferences and context. It integrates live, recorded, and on-demand content sources. An evaluation involved users testing a prototype. They found the interface easy to use and recommendations generally suitable. Most saw value in TvDE for the home, especially heavier TV viewers. The research concludes TvDE shows potential as an alternative to electronic program guides by better mapping users' cognitive selection processes.
