This document provides advice on dos and don'ts for funding. It advises to focus on the business model, be thorough in understanding use cases and market needs, be disruptive with a compelling value proposition, and be realistic in projections.

The document introduces The BRT Standard 2013, which provides a scoring system and framework to define high quality bus rapid transit (BRT) systems. It establishes criteria for gold, silver, bronze and basic BRT certification based on essential features like dedicated bus lanes and off-board fare collection. The 2013 update from Version 1.0 includes a minimum definition for what qualifies as BRT, focusing on the most important design elements. It also revised how corridors and demand profiles are defined. The goal is to recognize leading BRT cities and provide best practice guidance to help more cities implement top-quality, high-performing BRT systems.

The document provides a first view of a mesmerizing forest, describing its natural colors and beauty. Vivid greens, browns, and other hues come alive among the dense trees. Though brief, the passage aims to capture the splendor of the forest in a picturesque first impression.
UN-HABITAT is working to promote urban planning as a way to mitigate climate change because well-planned cities provide a better foundation for sustainable development. The UK government aims to make the majority of newly built homes zero-carbon by 2016 by exempting them from stamp duty for a limited time starting this year. However, critics argue this may increase costs and the government has not explained how the goal will be achieved. UN-HABITAT deals with climate change and urban development, including through urban planning, as part of its mandate from the UN.

3. ושוב, ושוב, ושוב, השאלה שאני שומע: מדוע אני צריך להיות שם? פשוט: כי הלקוחות/חברים שלך שם. סקר TNS: בדצמבר 2009: שיעור בעלי פרופיל בלפחות רשת חברתית אחת - 68 אחוז לעומת 50 אחוזים מהגולשים בדצמבר 2008, ו-39 אחוז בדצמבר 2007. רק ל-14 אחוזים מבני 13-29 אין עמוד ברשת חברתית. שיעור ההשתתפות ברשתות חברתיות בגיל הבוגר יותר: 64 אחוז מקרב בני 30-49, ו-47 אחוז מקרב בני 50 ומעלה
4. סקר TIM 2009: כמעט 30 אחוז מהנשאלים בסקר, שייצגו 2 מיליון גולשים, נוהגים להמליץ לגולשים אחרים על מוצרים ושירותים - בעיקר בפורומים, ברשתות חברתיות ובאתרים מסחריים. מספר גבוה עוד יותר של גולשים, 65.5 אחוז מהנשאלים, שייצגו כ-2.6 מיליון גולשים - קוראים המלצות כאלה. 53 אחוז מהנשאלים השיבו שבעיניהם המלצות של גולשים אחרים - אמינות יותר מפרסומות. השיעור גבוה במיוחד אצל המשתמשים הכבדים, שהם המנוסים ביותר: 59 אחוז
6. 2+ מתחילים בהקשבה: מה אומרים שם במדיה החברתית על: עלי/על החברה/עלינועל המתחריםמי אמר זאת?היכן אומרים זאת?* עם דגש על איכות האמירה (חיובית? שלילית? נייטרלית?)
7. מסמנים מטרות לאיזו מטרה בכלל מתחילים בפעילות? (ולא לשכוח שזה רק חלק מכלל המטרות הארגוניות):מודעות?עידוד המכירות?שמירה על נאמנות הלקוח? 3
9. 4 מגבשים את המסרתיאוריית ה'משפט הבודד'מה אנחנו רוצים שהלקוחות יזכרו כשישמעו את שם החברה שלנו?מה יש לנו 'למכור'? מה החוזקות שלנו?הגדירו עצמכם במשפט אחד: מהו המשפט שלכם, זה שמגדיר אותכם, או זה שאתם רוצים שיגדיר אותכם – עם מטרה אותנטית ברורה ביל טיילור, Practically Radical
10. במשפט אחד: תנובה במבה לגדול בבית ישראלי אין כמו. החטיף הכי ישראלי מגיל 0 ומעלה
12. 5 זה השלב שוב לצאת לשטח:לבדוק איך קהלי היעד שלכם משתמשים במדיה החברתית ולהחליט מי מהם מעניינים אותכם. במי להתמקד?
13. היוצרים. יוצרים תכנים, כותבים בלוגים, מעלים וידאו (שלהם ושלך) המבקרים כותבים ביקורות, מדרגים מוצרים ושירותים, מגיבים בבלוגים של אחרים, תורמים לפורומים. האספנים עושים שימוש ב-RSS, מתייגים טקסטים ותמונות המצטרפים מחזיקים פרופיל באתר רשת חברתית כלשהו, מבקרים באתרי רשתות חברתיות הצופים קוראים בלוגים, צופים בסרטוני וידאו של אחרים, קוראים פורומים, קוראים חוות דעת וביקורות. הלא פעילים פשוט לא שם
14. תוכנית מדיה חברתית מצליחה צריכה קודם כל לדבר ללב. ל'הלביש' פרצוף אנושי על החברה, עימו יהיה קל להזדהות ולהיות מושפעים ממנו. העובדים? המנכ"ל? פרזנטור/ית סימפטי? 6

'אמנות' השיחה טמונה קודם כל בשמיעה, בהקשבה, בהבנת הסיטואציה. אל תדבר "אל", או תגיב, בלי להפעיל אינטליגנציה, שיקולי איכות, או בלי להעריך באמת את הצד השני. ספק מידע, ספק פתרונות, נסה להבין את הצד השני, צור תוכן בעל משמעות, תן את הזווית האנושית לסיפור שלך. המטרה: תוכנית מדיה חברתית שתהיה אמפטית, שתתן למותג פרצוף אנושי, שתהיה כנה, שתהדק קשרים עם אנשים שחשובים לנו ושתיצור 'שליחים' מטעמנו שיפיצו את הבשורה שלנו הלאה. ולא לשכוח: המדידה האמיתית של מערכת היחסים שפיתחת נבחנת בהשלכות שלה על ה'עולם האמיתי'...
