For many business people the Internet is still a big unkown. Whilst we use it daily in our professional and private life we are often unclear on how to use the web as a business asset.
The Internet combines a challenging mix of skills and knowledge and we often get distracted by focusing on the small details, leaving out the main question: 'How can my website be profitable?'
We created the popular Manifesto to challenge you to think about your website from a consumer-centric perspective. It addresses clichés, preconceived ideas, and the most common issues that avert our focus on the important.
1) The document discusses the importance of networking and increasing one's visibility within an organization through positive engagement rather than gossip.
2) It recommends broadening one's networks across different industries, ages, and locations rather than just within one's own field. Connecting with a diverse range of people can help solve problems that arise.
3) Master networkers surround themselves with people from different backgrounds and areas of expertise who they can learn from and tap into those individuals' own networks when needed.
Tips and tricks for how to work together when you are looking to find a novel solution to an existing problem, or a solution to a problem that others didn't even know existed.
Predictable Irrationality If You Build What They Ask For, They Will Not ComeJoyce Hostyn
Traditional approaches to defining and deploying enterprise software fail to account for that fact that people are influenced by their environment, emotions, shortsightedness, and other forms of irrationality. How do we get past the predictable irrationality of people to redefine the problem and create experiences that people will embrace?
The raising amount data exhaust of the past years has created the need for more and better tools to analyze what lies within this massive amount of raw material. Visualization leveraging the human cognition proves to be an invaluable tool to explore, digest, analyze and communicate the information. We reveal patterns, trends, relations or dependencies that were buried before.
But, what happens after we have created such an elaborate and powerful visualization and released it to the world? How does the it affect the beholder? How does it help shaping his opinions or even changing his behavior? Because, at the end of the day, visualization is simply a means to an end — a tool to achieve a bigger goal.
1. Five common networking mistakes are: not bringing business cards, only networking at formal events, keeping score of favors done, not talking to strangers, and not valuing yourself.
2. Specific tips to avoid these mistakes include always having business cards available, seeing networking as a 24/7 skill not just something done at events, giving help without expectations of return favors, moving out of your comfort zone to talk to new people, and preparing questions to contribute confidently despite less experience.
3. Master networkers view networking as a life skill, treat all contacts with respect, and understand that helping others can indirectly help you through the growth of your overall network.
The app aims to get people talking to themselves to generate data that can then be used to create an ongoing mesh network for the individual and facilitate initial connections in their community. The benefits are that as people are freed up from compulsory public education, the app can help ground the initial chaos by connecting people based on their self-reflections. People will then be able to meet up to work on things that matter to them. While the app can help people learn how to learn, the goal is that people will sustain ongoing connectedness within their communities without needing training. The app hopes to get people in a school district talking to themselves by giving them permission to play and connect to others daily.
1. Use 3x3 Research to quickly establish credibility with prospects by learning about their industry, company, and recent activities from sources like InsideView. This increases relevance.
2. Identify the direct contact at prospects who is responsible for or influenced by the needs you can address. Connecting with the right person is important for progressing opportunities.
3. Reference recent client successes and use their voices to validate your value by highlighting what they achieved by working with you. Hearing directly from satisfied customers can help convince prospects.

The document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of a music video production project. These included video/photo editing software like iMovie, Photoshop, Illustrator for constructing graphics and editing footage. Online tools like YouTube, Blogger and Survey Monkey were used for research, planning, evaluation and sharing work. iMovie was used for assembling raw footage, adding effects like black and white, and cutting clips. Photoshop and Illustrator were both utilized at various stages for image editing and design work.
The document discusses CernVM File System (CvmFS) and provides the following information:
1) CvmFS is a network file system designed for software distribution with many small files that are accessed more than once from many locations after being written in one central repository location.
2) CvmFS uses standard protocols like HTTP and security features like file integrity checks to ensure files are not corrupted during delivery to clients.
3) CvmFS clients mount the file system using FUSE and retrieve files from Stratum 1 servers, with Squid proxies used at sites to cache files locally.
The document discusses how the creator of a music video and accompanying materials continually gathered and applied audience feedback throughout the production process. Feedback revealed that the target audience preferred no nudity and clearer flashbacks in the video. It also showed that not all viewers understood the romance genre. The creator addressed this by adding effects to bookend the video. Further surveys found the video fit both the R&B and indie genres, so more R&B conventions were included. Feedback also noted the magazine draft did not strongly emphasize the R&B genre, so the creator made changes to better reflect this.
The document discusses different types of photography shots and positions that could be used for an artist's album cover photoshoot. It analyzes the low angle shot, medium shot, long shot, close-up shot, extreme close-up shot, and sitting down position. While the low angle shot makes a subject look powerful, the artist's image is not about power so that shot would not work. The medium shot gives mystery by showing the side profile. The long shot maintains professionalism by showing the full body. Close-up and extreme close-up shots intensify emotions on the face to connect with audiences. A sitting position provides individuality compared to other album covers that typically do not use that pose.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document discusses -wala surnames commonly found in India, which describe families by their ancestral towns, professions, or physical traits. It provides examples of many -wala surnames and their meanings, such as Bookwala for those in the book trade, Chikhliwala for people from Chikhli village, and Dhotiwala for someone who wore a traditional dhoti garment. These surname suffixes were used to identify families by their occupations from generation to generation or by their place of origin when migrating to new areas.
The document discusses CERN's adoption of Puppet for infrastructure configuration management. Key points include:
- CERN has a large and complex IT infrastructure supporting high energy physics experiments. They needed a scalable solution to manage over 15,000 servers.
- Puppet was chosen because it is widely used, has a large community, and fits CERN's needs better than other options.
- Initial Puppet deployment was straightforward but challenges emerged around module organization, customization, and sharing modules across teams.
- CERN is working to improve module sharing, configuration control between teams, and integrate Puppet with other tools like OpenStack and Foreman.

The document discusses 10 Indian names that include numbers from 1 to 10, as well as a Chinese name. The Indian names refer to religious figures, deities, and concepts from Hindu mythology. For example, Eknath means 'One Lord', Trilok refers to the three realms of existence, and Dasaratha is the man whose chariot can move in ten directions. The document also mentions how the Chinese President Xi Jinping was mistakenly read as 'Eleven Jinping' by an Indian newsreader.

The document contains 42 quotes by Warren Buffett on various topics. Some of the key quotes summarize:
1) Buffett believes getting turned down from Harvard was fortunate as "bad luck can turn out to be good."
2) He warns that it takes 20 years to build a reputation but only 5 minutes to ruin it.
3) Buffett notes people are predictable in their greed, fear, and folly, but the sequence is unpredictable. He advises surrounding yourself with people better than you.
4) One of Buffett's cardinal rules is to never lose money. He believes risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

This document discusses cognitive biases and how they can impact business analysis work. It describes how the brain takes shortcuts called cognitive biases to process large amounts of information quickly. Some examples of cognitive biases discussed include anchoring, loss aversion, hyperbolic discounting, and the conjunction fallacy. The document suggests strategies for business analysts to reduce the impact of cognitive biases, such as getting other opinions, mixing things up, slowing down, and conducting pre-mortems before projects. Cognitive biases are most likely to influence decisions when there is too much information, not enough time to act, uncertainty around what to remember, or a lack of meaning.

Communication Hacks: Strategies for fostering collaboration and dealing with conflict in open source
Presented by Nuritzi Sanchez, GitLab, Inc.
Presented at Open Source 101 2021
Abstract: During this talk, you'll learn about topics like cross-cultural collaboration, giving and receiving feedback, and active listening -- all things that are vital to the health of our open source communities.
After reading many self-help books, watching various TED Talks, and listening to a ton of podcasts, I've condensed my learnings to help you improve your communications skills, deal with conflict, and collaborate better than ever, not only in FOSS, but also everywhere else.

The document discusses how web conferencing solutions like Zoom saw explosive growth with the rise of remote work and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that while these tools allow communication without physical presence, online meetings and classes can lack interactivity and body language. To keep audiences engaged, the document recommends using a visualizer device to display materials spontaneously and reset attention spans, as visual content is better retained than text-heavy slides. Integrating the visualizer's live camera feed into conferencing platforms like Zoom allows for flexibility and interaction lacking in static presentations.
1) Persuasion, emotion, and trust (PET design) are important for building deeper relationships with customers beyond just usability. PET design understands what triggers purchase decisions.
2) E-commerce sites need to go beyond usability and navigation to provide an engaging user experience that makes customers feel committed. Several persuasive techniques can be used, but the key is understanding the emotional triggers of the target audience.
3) Seven principles of PET design are discussed: understanding what customers can do, will do, and still do on a site; reciprocity; scarcity; gravitating toward middle options; sensitivity to food, sex, danger and offspring; small wins; and social validation. These principles leverage human psychology
The top global trends in public relations todayBob Pickard
The document discusses challenges and opportunities in corporate communications in today's hyperconnected world. It notes the loss of control over messaging due to the speed of the news cycle and rise of social media. Complexity is introduced by new channels, communities and technologies that allow targeted sharing but make genuine personal connections more difficult. Data and measurability are increasingly important but hands-on understanding is still needed. Storytelling, listening, creativity and conveying meaning are emphasized as ways for public relations to navigate these changes.
The document discusses using stories and storytelling as a way to influence people and effect change. It covers three aspects of story - listening, thinking, and telling. It discusses listening for stories, collecting stories, and practicing empathy. It also discusses using stories to think and map other people's perspectives. The document advocates drawing on one's own life experiences and timeline of key events as a way to craft effective stories for telling and influencing others.
The document discusses using stories and storytelling as a way to influence people and effect change. It covers three brain theory which suggests that the unconscious mind controls most behavior. It also discusses listening for stories, thinking with stories, and telling stories to communicate insights and wisdom in a contextual way rather than just presenting facts. The goal is to use stories to help people understand different perspectives and motivate change.
Successful Job Interview With The Body Language Cards ExampleBodyLanguageCards
The document discusses Body Language Cards, which are flashcards that teach the meaning and interpretation of emotional body gestures and non-verbal communication. The cards are meant to educate the "thinking" brain about information inherited in the "emotional" brain related to body language. The cards can be used to improve skills like presentations, negotiations, listening, and relationships. They provide a visual way to learn body language, which is a mostly non-verbal form of communication. The cards are presented as a gift or self-training tool that can benefit jobs like sales, customer service, and nutrition/dieting advice.
The document discusses how word-of-mouth and social media are increasingly influencing consumer purchasing decisions. It notes that 67% of decisions are influenced by word-of-mouth and that brands must join online conversations to engage with potential customers. It emphasizes the importance of being transparent, building relationships over the long-term, and creating conversations rather than interruptions.
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of technology and how it affects our connections with others. While technology allows for easier and faster connections with more people, it can also be a distraction from real-time relationships. The document recommends prioritizing face-to-face interactions for close personal connections, as the social brain functions best when reading nonverbal cues in real time. Communicating electronically lacks these important social cues, so reflecting on intentions before responding can help avoid miscommunications.

3. Online is not Offline.
Have you ever bought a properly brewed coffee online?
Some products or services do not work online.
Some products or services do not work offline.
4. A conversion begins and ends in the human brain
What do you want?
When we desire something, we create a vision.
A website that stops us from reaching our vision is useless.
5. There’s no point if you don’t have a goal
How do you measure success?
Only objective and measurable goals allow us to benchmark progress.
If you don’t know what you want to achieve, you will fail.
If you don’t know what your business should achieve, it will fail.
6. Competing on price is like digging your own grave.
Why does a consumer buy a BMW if they could get a cheaper car?
There is always someone who can live with less than you.
Consumers don’t chose the cheapest option, but make a selection based on their
desires.
7. Design doesn’t matter.
Can you see the look & feel of your website on Google result pages?
Design conveys a brand or trust value to visitors.
But it’s useless if your audience can’t find your website.
8. Keywords are overrated.
Does your website content sound like a broken record player?
Keyword stuffing is a short-term approach to SEO.
Quality content and message is the long term solution to SEO.
9. Content is king.
Would you buy a car if the only information would be ‘it’s blue’?
Without a clear message, a website does not convert.
Without clarity, search engines cannot put a value to your message.
10. Mediocrity will fail.
Do you tell your friends about a mediocre meal?
A good product will outsell a mediocre product in the long term.
Even if the price is higher.
11. You don’t need to scream at your customers.
Do you like to be screamed at?
You cannot convince your customers by screaming louder than your competitor.
You can, however, convince your customers by listening harder than your competitor.
12. Scalability is key.
What did Henry Ford invent?
The production line was the economic revolution of the thirties.
The web was the economic revolution of the nineties.
Both introduced scalability as the path to profit.

14. The Internet is here to stay.
How often do you visit Wikipedia?
The Internet democratised access to knowledge.
Access for all will stay, even if the Internet changes.
15. Sex sells.
Food sells.
Danger sells.
Can you resist?
Neuro science tells us we can’t.
16. Social recommendations rule.
Do you trust your friends’ recommendations?
The closer a person is to us, the more we trust their recommendation.
If I don’t know you, I don’t trust you.
17. Consumers talk about you.
Do you want to improve?
Your customers talk about your business.
Listen.
18. Local works, globally.

WE’RE JUST PO
Do you enjoy being greeted by name?
Local implies trust and demands loyalty.
When you scale local trust to global local trust, you win.
19. Dream.
When was the last time you’ve attempted something impossible?
Dreams create visions outside the physical boundaries.
Complacency kills innovation.
20. Ignore your competitor.
Do you have sleepless nights?
Know your competitor.
If you want to create something better, ignore them.
21. Customers use products in surprising ways.
Do you know how your customers use your product?
Accept them to know more about their circumstances and how they apply your
product to their life than you would ever imagine.

22. Admit to faults.
Are you perfect?
Admit to f***-ups.
Your customers will love you for it.
23. It’s ok to make a buck.
Do you enjoy success?
Customers want you to be successful, but not at their expense.
24. Why should your customers care?
Do you ever stop to reflect?
If you care, keep going.
If you stop caring, close your business.
25. There’s no such thing like a free lunch.
Sounds too good to be true?
... then it probably is.
There’s no magic formula to make money.
26. You suck at writing about yourself.
People have no objective view of themselves.
Writing about yourself is the ultimate conflict between humility and pride.
27. If you don’t use Facebook,
don’t create a Facebook page.
Do you get it?
Social media is not something you can learn from a book.
Only immersion can teach you.
28. Stop talking.
Do you listen to your customers?
Interest makes for interesting people.
When a customer is heard, they love you.
29. The lesson here is very simple. But it is striking how often it is overlooked.
We are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and the self-made
that we think outliers spring naturally from the earth.
We look at the young Bill Gates and marvel that our world allowed
that thirteen-year-old to become a fabulously successful entrepreneur.
But that’s the wrong lesson.
Our world only allowed one thirteen-year-old unlimited access
to a time sharing terminal in 1968.
If a million teenagers had been given the same opportunity,
how many more Microsofts would we have today?
To build a better world we need to replace the patchwork of
lucky breaks and arbitrary advantages that today determine success
– the fortunate birth dates and the happy accidents of history –

30. QR codes are nerdy, not cool.
Do you know what this QR code says?
Just because something seems new to you doesn’t make it cool.
A confused customer won’t buy.
32. Use a screw driver regularly.
Do you have a hobby?
One day a week should be reserved for a different world.
A change of perspective will help your business.
33. Let your customers have an experience.
When was the last time shopping was fun?
If you rely on product availability alone, you will fail.
If you let your customers have a memorable experience, you will win.
35. Technology is irrelevant.
Do you know how your car engine works?
The web is driven by people.
Technology must not stand in their way.
36. Talk to someone outside your office every day.
When did you last speak to a total stranger?
The real world is outside your office.
It’s easy to loose touch in your office.
37. People use their mobile to read emails.
Could you live without your phone?
The iPhone democratised mobile access to the web.
Technology changes our life overnight.
38. Logistics is a huge challenge.
Can you deliver?
Stock management is key to a good customer experience.
39. Prepare for change.
Are you ready for the next big thing?
Change is constant and random.
Get used to it.
40. The market may not exist.
How long do you spend from idea to roll-out?
Test before you invest.
Even if you have to fake it.
41. No-one cares about you.
They invented television to sell ads to you.
They invented radio to sell ads to you.
They invented newspapers to sell ads to you.
That’s not why they invented YouTube.
That’s not why they invented the Internet.
The Internet doesn’t care about you.
People don’t have to watch Channel 7 anymore. They can entertain themselves
mindlessly for hours by pressing the Stumble-Upon button.
So, if someone’s gonna watch a video, they’re not gonna watch it because they care
about you. They’re gonna watch it because they care about me.
Me, me, me, me, me, my favourite person, me.
They’re not gonna read email from you, they’re gonna read me-mail.
‘Cos that’s who they care about.
So if you make a video like the Blendtec guy, the ‘Will it Blend’ videos, people will
watch it because watching Chuck Norris getting blent in a blender is sort of a hoot.
But if you make a video of how your factory is, you know, 12% more efficient than it
was last year [... yawn... ], I’m not coming.
Seth Godin speaking at the American Express Open® – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUGiHyNrouE
42. Be real.
Do you ask? Do you assume?
Never assume.
Always ask.
43. Trust is good.
Loyalty is better.
Who do you trust?
A trusting customer lets us solve problems.
A loyal customer helps us solve problems.
44. I have no special talent.
I am only passionately curious.
Albert Einstein
