As we use social tools on the web, design patterns are emerging. Social design must be organic, not static, emotional, not data-driven. A social experience builds on relationships, not transactions.
This is a talk given to my class on User Experience by Jen Ruffner, a Product Manager on the art of optimization.
It is critical for modern designers, product managers and start-up folks ot understand how to think about designing and executing tests.

Designing Structure Part II: Information ArchtectureChristina Wodtke
Part two on Designing Structure for my General Assembly class on User Experience is about Information Architecture. We cover why classification is important, types of classification and trends in IA.
Humans are funny animals, and behave in surprising ways. In an information space, a human’s needs are simple and his behavior straightforward. Find. Read. Save. But once you get a bunch of humans together, communicating and collaborating, sometimes you see the madness and sometimes the wisdom of crowds. This makes the architecture in social spaces the most challenging work you can take on. While your site can never control people, but it certainly can encourage good behavior and discourage bad. We'll cover core principals for creating robust and vibrant online communities, and illuminates critical design decisions that help a community thrive. Learn about the building blocks of social software, and which ones are most relevant to your business. Learn how to promote desired behaviors with interface design, and who’s doing it right. Learn when to apply familiar designs (such as with logging in or adding a friend) and when to strike out into entirely new territory.

Creating content for the always-on lives brands now live is intrinsically different to creating advertising content. I delivered this talk at Digital Shoreditch to pull apart those differences in the processes in an effort to explain how to develop and deliver content that bridges the gap between campaigns.
The talk is a whistle stop tour of a process we've developed at AnalogFolk squeezed into 15 minutes. The media analogy to the economic concept of Stock & Flow was introduced by Robin Sloan and is one we've embraced at AnalogFolk. Thanks go out to Noah Brier for drawing attention to it in his excellent AdAge article.

Your Social Media Personality Type Is Killing Your Engagement Jessica Campos
Your Social Media Personality Type Is Killing Your Engagement and That's Holding You Back From Generating Qualified Leads. You can't hide on social media.
* Ninety-two percent (92%) of small businesses plan to increase their investment in at least one social media platform in 2018.
* Most small businesses want to increase their investment in Facebook (58%), and the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal isn’t slowing them down.
* The most important metric for tracking the success of a small business’s social media efforts is engagement (20%) because it shows businesses that their followers are interested in their content.
How can you increase your engagement? This presentation is for you!
Jessica Campos, JD, BBA, author of The 6 Golden Rules of Social Media is presenting a 4-Step Strategy that every small business owner needs to follow in order to reach their target audience and get qualified leads and sales opportunities.
A talk given to the Xerox Women's Alliance on social networking. Where do you start? How do you build a positive online brand? How do you be human without getting personal?
Thirteen years ago Gayle Curtis likened a “Big Information Architect” to “an orchestra conductor or film director, conceiving a vision and moving the team forward.” In the meantime, different-sized IAs gave way to UX designers, but in some shops there is another central role: product manager.
What you may be surprised to learn is that a substantial part of a product manager’s job is…information architecture. Describing a landscape, ecosystem, or roadmap and communicating a set of goals and priorities requires the exact meaning-mapping skills that IA is all about.
This panel features three people trained in IA and UX who are now filling a product role, to discover whether this parallel between “big” IA and product holds in other contexts, to discuss potential career paths, and to take questions from an audience that might be intrigued by the relationship.

Ukulele For Geeks: Secrets of the Pentatonic Scales (sxsw 2010)Christian Crumlish
At first glance the fretboard of a ukulele (or guitar) looks incomprehensible, but with the magic of pentatonic scales - ancient, nearly universal 5-note patterns, you can "crack the code" and hack the fretboard and start jamming along with your favorite tunes or musician friends in no time.
You don't need to know the names of the notes or what key a song is. Just find the little dippers and start messing around with patterns. I'll explain the concepts and demonstrate the techniques, which are completely self taught.

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.

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.

Tagged.com is a social networking site founded in 2004. Tagged is the subject of numerous customer complaints for sending deceptive bulk mail and is regarded as a phishing and spamming site and an 'E-mail scam' by consumer anti-fraud advocates.A TIME magazine article called Tagged 'The World's Most Annoying Website'. Tagged asks users for their email username and password, checks their email address books for contacts and repeatedly sends email invitations to people who are not yet on Tagged, stating that they have been 'added as a friend' or that the inviter had sent them photos on Tagged. These emails were discussed as possible spam by Black Web 2.0. The resemblance to a virus has often been mentioned, including by urban legend site Snopes.com. The New York Times referred to the practice as 'contact scraping'

Give people something to do Activities - participation ladder building blocks
Enable a bridge to real life Let ’s put on a show = spontaneous gatherings, broadcasting of gatherings - enable, embrace location and mobile tools - and the crossover Hey Kids - Let ’s put on a show. The classic Andy Rooney / Judy Garland movies from 1939 involved gathering their group of friends together for a spontaneous show to raise money for something or other and then they would announce the show to everyone in town. The social tools that create a bridge to real life allow you to gather friends together, broadcast to friends, broadcast to others (public forum), plan real life meetups, and then capture the event and archive it for later viewing back online.
Gently Moderate Let the Community elevate people and content they value - of the people, by the people with some gentle oversight Reputation, recommendations gentle moderation Flickr - interestingness - views, comments, favorites plus some gentle algorythm to elevate the objects the community values * Views, internal and external to Flickr, of the photo * Number of comments on the photo, and also who comments on the photo * Tags applied to the photo * Flickr discussion groups in which the photo appears * Favorites, a.k.a Flickr bookmarking, of the photo * Time varying behavior of the above factors
Cargo Cult Wikipedia definition: any group of people who imitate the superficial exterior of a process or system without having any understanding of the underlying substance. The error of logic made by the islanders consisted of mistaking a necessary condition (i.e., building airstrips, control towers, etc.) for cargo to come flying in, for a sufficient condition for cargo to come flying in, thereby reversing the causation. On a lower level, they repeated the same error by e.g. mistaking the necessary condition (i.e. build something that looks like a control tower) for building a control tower, for a sufficient condition for building a control tower.
