Today’s world is hyper-connected, mobile, social and always on. As we connect to the Internet from anywhere, at anytime, we are drawn deeper into digital life. What’s more, the experiences we have are increasingly tailored to our preferences: likes and dislikes. But, what does this mean for nonprofits? It means changing employee, donor and other stakeholder expectations.

Measuring and Capturing Value of Government CommunicationGovLoop
Measuring and Capturing Value of Government Communication describes a methodology of government communications to go from clicks to engagement to real mission results
The Evolution of Video Community (EOVC) is a cross-device behavior tracking program drawn from households across the nation. The passive data collection examines how Americans use services and devices to view video; movies, short-form content and TV shows (SVOD & OTT) and interact with providers of services or advertising.
The EOVC is driven by a multi-modal, passive data collection technology supported by ABS-based surveys and social media touch-points. The survey component gives Centris insight into household demographics, service providers and ownership of devices so the EOVC is as representative as possible.
This presentation was developed to help a client address best practices for building an online community within the workplace. It was based upon a great deal of research and study of the topic and should help those who are seeking information or wish to start an online community, as it pulls together a great amount of data and resources on the topic.
Create your electronic footprint - Presentation given during IBM Super Women Group Yearly meeting. (over 500 IBM women attendees) Raleigh, NC - June 2009
Getting Your Board on Board – Feeling anxious about telling your Board you need a Twitter strategy? Is your Board skeptical of the value and return on investment social media can provide? Or, do they have unrealistic expectations that you’re going to sign up on Facebook today and raise $1 million tomorrow? Either way, get the information you need to manage your Board’s expectations around social media. Find out the best ways to present the value and tangible benefits of social media to get your Board on-side.
Social Media Planning – Now that you’ve got your staff and board excited about social media, what’s next? Like most plans, it starts with a strategy, one that’s based on a desire to build relationships. What does a social media plan look like? What are the key elements? Where should you dedicate your time and how can you make most of your efforts? This session will present strategies and tactics you can employ, and will touch on how it all ties into the communications plan you’ve already got.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Deepak Rai, Automation Practice Lead, Boundaryless Group and UiPath MVP
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
3. “Social Media. They get all excited about gleaming technology
and clever gizmos. They talk in acronyms and begin sentences
with: “Did you know you can..” The rest of us just want to get on
with campaigning, fundraising or service delivery. We want to talk
about the people we work with, the communities we’re in and
the issues we’re passionate about. We want to find and talk to
people who can help us get change, deliver services or make a
difference”.
Well, Social Media is about all that, telling stories and having
conversations, having a space to do that … it just happens that the
space is on a computer.
(From ‘How to use New Media’ - Media Trust).
4. What we are going to do today
• Introductions
• Find out about social media and
'the cloud' and why they are
important
• Planning social media use
• Survey Monkey
• Mail Chimp
• Eventbrite
• Some other useful webtools
• Any Questions
• Have fun !
http://www.flickr.com/photos/virtuatron/
5. What sort of technology 'grumbles' does
your organisation have?
Time for manual tasks
Access to files
Cost of mailings
Others?
6. Social Media is ...
. . media rich, interactive, content served based on preferences,
open for comments, conversations WITH visitors encouraged.
Web 2.0
=Social Media
=New Media
=Social Networking
7. Are you on Social Media?
No? Probably – Yes!
Have you checked?!
Are you using Social Media?
Does your organisation have a website … that is interactive?
Have you got a blog?
Do you use YouTube or Flickr?
Are you on Facebook?
Do you Tweet?
Do you use web tools to improve organisational efficiency?
So, What is Social Media?
8. Social Networking – the numbers
• Of all the websites visited in UK, 2 are Social
Networks - Google (9.5%), Facebook (6.6%),
YouTube (3.5%), ebay (1.9%), WinMail (1.4%).
Google = 91% of search traffic. (HitWise – Feb 2012)
• 96% of aged 18-35 on one or more network
• Of the 48.6 million adult population (ONS),
77% have a Facebook profile, 66% are
YouTube users, 32% are on Twitter and 16%
have a presence on LinkedIn. (Umph Sept 2011 –
sample of 2,400 adults)
• 50% of Facebook users view their page daily
and (February 2012)
• YouTube 2nd most popular way to search for
content. 48hrs is uploaded every minute
• One to watch? Pinterest visits up from 50k to
over 300k in 1 month. (Nov 2011 Comscore)
9. Social Networking – the numbers
• Average social network user is aged 37
• LinkedIn it's 44, Twitter 39, Facebook 38 &
Bebo 28 (typical user younger)
• 52% of Facebook users are 18 to 34 yrs
• However of active social networking users,
55% of those over 65 are on Facebook & 19%
of all users are over 45

at least once a day (June 2011)
• 30% check their status as soon as they wake
up, 81% never turn their phone off (Aug 2011)
So, its not a passing phase, but it is
important that organisations direct effort
to the right network(s)

(From – Ofcom, www.clickymedia.co.uk & www.hitwise.com)
10. Use of social networks is 23% of time spent on internet in
UK, 159% increase in last 3 years.
76% of iPad users also have a desktop PC, but 9% bought
one to replace their desktop / laptop
Mobile web access will eclipse wired by 2015, 17% of UK
households already use phone as primary web access
Facebook mobile increased by 100% in last year
Android OS use grown from 5% to 47% (Dec 2009 to Dec

43% of users have downloaded an 'app'
Bite-sized learning & volunteering whilst commuting
70% would give up alcohol for a week rather than phone
11. What social media will do
• Increases speed of communication – no faster way to
(Action) spread your message and communicate your project
updates than through social networking. Less of a
financial cost but ‘expense’ may be the time
• Widens message to people/groups that would normally
(Awareness) be missed using more traditional methods – ‘viral’
campaigns hugely powerful creating awareness
extremely efficiently
• Deepens to build new and different networks –
(Fundraising) communities of interest to bounce ideas off and
share experiences, increase commitment and
fundraising for campaigning activity. Start some
conversations!
12. What social media will do
• Generate on-line conversations and awareness about the
(Change) organisation or campaign, a consensus of
opinion or shared learning about ideas. Use RSS and
Google Alerts to stay ahead of developments in your
area of interest - build a ‘Listening Dashboard’, take a
survey of member views and opinions
• Joins together communities who are interested in the
(Action) similar things, have the same likes or are
striving for the same objectives. Facilitate and
manage events, tell your supporters and networks
about your work in a new way
• Commoncraft Video explaining Social Media
13. What is 'The Cloud'
Rather than installing software on your computer, a
'host' runs the software and services are accessed via
a browser over fast reliable internet connections.
Could be as simple as web-based email (like Hotmail or gMail), internet
banking, Google Docs or sites like Facebook, Doodle or Eventbrite.
Advantages Considerations
Sharing over dispersed network Speed & availability of
connection
Reduced capital & server costs Security & Data Protection
Remote & flexible working Migration costs
Host manages latest upgrades A new way to work
Data regularly & securely backed up ICT systems can't 'be seen'
Someone else 'can worry about ICT'
Software and File Storage is rented
http://www.commoncraft.com/video/cloud-computing
14. Types of services in the cloud
There are many services that can be accessed 'in the cloud' - which is
often used as just a marketing term. (See Off-site, Remote, As A Service)
Data backup tools Rackspace
Mail & News reader feeds Google Mail & Google Reader
File storage & sharing sites Dropbox
Office suites Google Docs, Microsoft 365, Docs.com
Productivity services/tools Doodle, Scribd, Slideshare
Learning in the cloud My Learning Pool, KnowHow NonProfit
Web hosting 123.reg
Telephones Virtual call centres & telephone systems
Video & Audio conference Skype, ooVoo, GoTo Meeting
http://www.commoncraft.com/video/cloud-computing
15. It's 'Relational' not 'Transactional' So, Social Networking
“The Conversational Web”, not a Broadcast.
is 'the leveller'.
Listen more than you talk – and interact
Link and Share, and Share again – this keeps Increases INCLUSION
the conversations flowing. Share other peoples and gives
news more than your own (maybe 10 to 1)
Communities a voice
We're all “content creators”. Our message is as
valid as anyone's – whatever size organisation.
Our campaigning voice can be just as loud
Increased Reach - traditional reporting barriers
broken down and communities empowered
Comment and Feedback – agree or disagree, as
this builds a community around a topic
Immediacy - what took days, takes hours, what
took minutes takes seconds!
Common Craft
Be Helpful – Be Generous - Say Thank You - What is Social Media Video
Share and you’ll be amazed what you get back!
16. Inclusion – Voluntary Sector audience
• Social networking shouldn't replace face to face communication
• Although 77% of households are connected and 30.1million
people access the internet every day (ONS 2011 / 2010), 8.4
million people have never been online
• Of this, 31% in low income households and 45% have
no post 16 qualifications
• 75% in BME communities don’t use internet regularly
• 43% put off using social media due to jargon
• Away from populated areas broadband and even 3G
access can be difficult (33% < 2mbps in Penrith & Borders)
• 1200+ partners pledged to help people get online,
find what they want online & then stay online.
Resources to help become a Digital Champion
17. Supporting Groups OASIS was developed by @JohnSheridan
John.Sheridan@SocialMedia404.com

• Sustain the conversation and say thank you
• Encourage people to return, keep it new, links from websites
18. The best website for the job
• Choose the way to convey message.
– Audio → Images → Video
– See Audioboo, Flickr, Pinterest, Bambuser, Youtube
• Choose the context to engage with audience.
– Blog → Facebook → Twitter
• Choose a useful (FREE) tool/s to help streamline work
– Finding out → Letting people know → Running events
– See Survey Monkey, MailChimp, Eventbrite
Can be a simple choice - Sharing a policy document between trustees
Can be a strategic choice - Moving all docs to cloud and eliminating file
server
