Why do you need a winning social media strategy?Techugo
A social media strategy is a plan for using social media platforms to achieve specific marketing and communication goals. It involves identifying the target audience, determining the key messages to be conveyed, and selecting the appropriate social media channels to reach the audience. A well-crafted social media strategy should take into account the unique features and algorithms of each social media platform, as well as the specific needs and interests of the target audience. A successful social media strategy requires consistent posting, engagement with followers, and the use of compelling content and visuals to attract and retain an audience. It also involves regularly analyzing and adjusting the strategy to ensure that it is effective and aligns with the overall goals of the business or organization.
Social media platforms are not just for a certain age group or segment of society; rather, they are widely used and have become an instant hit among people all over the world to discover, talk about different things, and share their feelings from anywhere at any time.
So, there you have it. Everything you need to know to get started on creating your social media app. It’s important to consider all of the features and costs involved, as well as the benefits for both users and businesses before diving in. With the right planning and execution, your social media app can be a huge success. Have you created a social media app? What were some of the toughest challenges you faced? Let us know in the comments below!
All things considered, as a bundle, social media applications are flawed, nor are they static. Like most technologies, these remain imperfect and are dependent upon future developments.

Don't fear the block: Gutenberg is gettin' goodJohn Eckman
As presented at WordCamp NYC on Sept 14th, 2019.
Now that we’re more than six months past the Gutenlaunch, how is the new WordPress editor faring in the real world?
In short, the answer is brilliantly.
In this talk I go through some of the most exciting and interesting developments on and around Gutenberg, including real production examples from our clients as well as others.
We’ll cover core blocks, block libraries, block-aware-themes, and custom blocks.
If you’ve held back from embracing the block, come see why it’s time to start planning your own gutenswitch.
#NoStalking: Advertising & User PrivacyJohn Eckman
As publishers, have we made a Faustian bargain, exchanging revenue for our readers' security & privacy?
How can we shift online advertising (in particular programmatic) to be more compatible with user privacy in the era of the GDPR and the additional privacy laws undoubtedly coming?
There's a Reason We Call Them Institutions: Working in Higher Education Witho...John Eckman
I’ve consulted with lots of institutions of higher education. Each was convinced that they were a unique snowflake, and that their challenges could not possibly be understood by any outsider. In fact, I’ve found there’s remarkable similarity across many (though of course not all) campus teams as they strategize, design, develop, and maintain their web presence.
Diffuse Authority
Audience Ambiguity
Site Proliferation & Content Accumulation
Team Turnover: The Revolving Door & The Lifers
Training Insufficiency
For each we’ll talk about what the dysfunction is and what strategies you might use to mitigate its impact.
Working the Open: Open Source in an AgencyJohn Eckman
Why should agencies contribute to and participate in open source projects? How can they benefit from their participation?
Examples from 10up's own Open Source Practice
GDPR FTW, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Privacy By DesignJohn Eckman
At the start, the web was purely stateless – every request was the beginning (and every response the end) of a new conversation. Then we got cookies, so that servers could remember clients, and SSL so we could share information with servers that wasn't seen by all the servers it passed through en route. These two technologies enabled e-commerce and are so foundational now it is hard to imagine the web without them. The problem is the way we'e evolved the web has been down a path of increasingly aggressive data collection and reduced transparency for users.
We should have always been doing privacy by design, data portability, data transparency, and the right to be forgotten. We should not have become dependent on invasive ad tech and aggregated third-party data; we should not have handed over ownership of our own social graphs and connections so cheaply to private commercial interests.
While many (particularly in the US) may be uncomfortable with the legalistic and regulatory approach, preferring a more laissez-faire, self-governing model for virtually everything, the GDPR can be seen as an opportunity to start doing things right – applying the core principles of privacy by design not just where mandated by regulation but as a standard business practice.
The Blob, the Chunk, & the Block: Structured Content in the Age of GutenbergJohn Eckman
Content strategists distinguish between storing content in unstructured “blobs” and storing content in structured “chunks.” Where do Gutenberg “blocks” fit in? How is Gutenberg-edited content stored, and how do we get the benefits of blocks without going all blobby?
Taking Back What and From Whom?: Imagined Communities and Role of WordPress i...John Eckman
“Taking Back The Open Web” is a bold theme, but every word in that sentence requires some significant unpacking if we’re to agree on a path forward. From whom is the open web being taken back? Who took it from us in the first place? What do we mean by open, and do we really mean “web” here?
Dries’s version of the open web (to which the CFP linked) is a vaguely defined point in the recent past where “the web felt like a free space that belong to everyone.” Anil Dash’s version, which he calls “The Web We Lost” posits a time when the web was about “letting lots of people build innovative new opportunities for themselves” which has been replaced by a system which “continues to make a small number of wealthy people even more wealthy” via “narrow-minded, web-hostile products.” The call for papers for this conference, with a focus on publishers, points to “stress” caused by “proprietary formats which enforce limits and restraints.” There’s even an Open Web Foundation (founded in 2004) dedicated to “open, non-proprietary specifications for web technologies,” to which primary subscribers are Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
Is the conflict between the open web and the (presumably) closed web which opposes it, really about formats? Is it about access and distribution? Is it about a small number of powerful corporate overlords versus inspired, creative small business entrepreneurs?
In this talk I’ll lay out a couple of different ways of thinking about the “open web” we’re after, what each of those visions postulates as the problem, and what solutions emerge from that set of problems. I’ll conclude with some of my own take on how WordPress as itself an “imagined community” (cf. Benedict Anderson’s 1983 book) can and should contribute to shaping the future of the web. (Hint: It’s about democratizing publishing through open source AND community).
WordPress is the dominant CMS of the web, but still struggles to find acceptance in many Enterprises.
One reason is the lack of clear paths for personalization and content targeting – features which are heavily promoted in platforms like Adobe Experience Manager and (especially) Sitecore’s Experience Platform.
This talk covers what personalization and content targeting are and multiple ways of achieving both using WordPress as the underlying CMS, as well as of the dangers of personalization projects and ways they can go wrong.
The JSON REST API is something developers in the WordPress community have been very excited about for years. But what can your teams and clients actually use it to accomplish? What's it actually for?
Alternate Title: Who is JSON, and Why Do I Care How Much REST He Gets?
What "The Four Agreements" can teach us about avoiding drama in the WordPress community. 1) Be impeccable with your word; 2) Don't take anything personally; 3) Don't make assumptions; 4) Always do your best
Distributed, not Disconnected: Employee Engagement for Remote CompaniesJohn Eckman
Just because your employees don't all come to the same physical location doesn't mean they can be engaged. Distributed teams have needs much like co-located teams, and there are some additional steps you can take to drive employee engagement.
Facebook Instant Articles, Apple News, and Accelerated Mobile Pages all offer new distribution opportunities to address the limitations of today's mobile web experience.
What are these new distribution channels and how can marketers and publishers leverage them?
Client Diplomacy: From Adversaries to AlliesJohn Eckman
Lightning Talk (10 minus) presented at WordCamp NYC at the UN
Too often in web design and development we treat clients as the enemy - irritating, ill-informed, pointy-haired-boss style business people who don't "get" what we do.
If instead we treated clients as our allies, and aligned our interests to theirs - recognizing that their success is out ultimate goal - we'd achieve better outcomes.
WordPress as a CMS Platform: Gilbane 2015John Eckman
While WordPress powers now 25% of the web, enterprise customers often overlook the platform as a content management system.
WordPress can be used for more than "simple" blogs or news sites: it supports custom content types, meta data, and taxonomies; has a robust API for managing user permissions, content states, and workflow; handles multilingual and multinational use cases easily; supports multisite networks (and networks of networks); offers a JSON REST API in addition to XML-RPC and CLI options; and can be integrated with enterprise class search engines like Elastic Search and SOLR.
Don't allow the deliberate simplicity of the WordPress "out of the box" experience or the focus on usability for content editors to overshadow the incredible power of the core platform and well established APIs.
WordPress and the Enterprise DisconnectJohn Eckman
While the WordPress community rightly celebrates powering > 24% of the web, Enterprise customers have a drastically different perspective.
How can we more effectively sell Enterprise clients on the benefits of WordPress, without losing the ease of use and simplicity that has made WordPress great?
We’ve all heard that content is king, yet when it comes to designing web experiences we’re still stuck with lorem ipsum and placeholder images, as though the real content didn’t matter.
We’re still designing web experiences from the top down, starting with the desktop view of the homepage, even though they’re more likely to be experienced from the bottom up – starting with a content detail page on a mobile device.
Designing from the content out means starting with atomic elements of content, and building a system of components and layouts based on the real structure of content.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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!
