This document discusses how the author's views on SEO evolved over time. He used to believe that ranking highly in search was the most important factor, and that SEO was the primary driver of traffic. However, he realized search has become more complex, with personalized results, social influences, and the importance of brands. SEO is now just one marketing tactic among many that must be part of an overall inbound marketing strategy. Creating valuable content for customers and spreading it across multiple channels is key to success.

JESS3’s shares our thoughts on the key elements and mechanisms of visual storytelling.
At the very heart of it all: storytelling is no longer just for Hollywood. In the advertising and business world, it’s not just about a brand telling its history or its story. Gone are the days of branded marketing: storytelling is now about telling the definitive narrative about an issue or topic in a wholistic way -- the state of, the evolution of, the future of. And it is in this context that brands will most successfully communicate with their consumer.

Influencer marketing can be a powerful tactic, but the practice is far too narrow, and often focused on wrong metrics.

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.

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!
