Michael Stopford presented on reputation management in social networks. He discussed four key factors transforming the communications landscape: 1) disintermediation as intermediaries are removed and audiences can connect directly, 2) disruption from new technologies, 3) opportunities from big data, and 4) disaggregation as information fragments across networks. He argued that companies must build advocates in social networks, reach audiences where they engage online, use storytelling and content to drive action, and continuously measure and optimize efforts. Case studies on campaigns for Verizon and Milk showed success in increasing unique visitors, links, and engagement on key pages.
Creating compelling content – in a beautiful infographic for
example – is only of value when it is seen by or shared with as
many people as possible. As social media matures, it is no
longer enough to post that infographic on your website and
trust that your search engine optimization team will add the
right magic to impact search results and reach your target
audiences. Today social networking sites such as Facebook
and Twitter are enabling a new, more sophisticated, human-led
system of connecting, organizing and distributing data. As a
result, companies now need to integrate social media features
into their online content to facilitate sharing and increase
distribution of valuable content across these networks.

Customers with complaints have vastly greater options for making their case today. Social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, combined with community organization services like Change.org, make it possible for one customer with a problem to start a campaign that leads to change across an entire industry. The incidence of these attacks is growing, and large companies a learning to respect and fear the growing power of activist customers.

Altimeter Report: Making The Business Case For Enterprise Social NetworkingCharlene Li
In 2011, the US hit a milestone — more than half of all adults visit social networking sites at least once a month. But when it comes to using social-networking technologies inside organizations, many business leaders are at a loss to understand what value can be created from Facebook-like status updates within the enterprise. Some organizations have deployed social-networking features with an initial enthusiastic reception, only to see these early efforts wither to just a few stalwart participants. The problem: Most companies approach enterprise social networks as a technology deployment and fail to understand that the new relationships created by enterprise social networks are the source for value creation. In this first of two reports, Altimeter looks at four ways enterprise social networks create value for organizations.

5ème édition de l'étude "Wave" d'Universal McCann, sur les réseaux sociaux 2010.
Cette cinquième vague s'intéresse à la place des marques dans cet univers et sur leur "socialisation".
Désormais étendue à 53 marchés et 37600 sondés, l'étude souligne - en préambule - que 47% des membres de réseaux sociaux ont rejoint des communautés de marques... sur un total de 1,5 milliard de visites par jour sur ces sites communautaires. Elle révèle une vraie demande des internautes pour des marques dans cet univers, mais à des conditions bien précises. Et cela, de manière assez égale, selon les pays. Enfin, on découvre (ou se voit confirmer) quels supports numériques pâtissent de cette folle envolée de Facebook and co.

Social Media Tracker - Universal McCann - The Socialisation of Brands - Wave 5Wikonsumer Research
Social media is an incredibly dynamic environment. Terms like “friend” and
“influencer” are no longer adequate to describe the array of social activity and
interaction that is occurring amongst the vast communities now being built online.
A deeper understanding of consumer needs and motivations is the key to unlocking a
real understanding of social media and its users.
Social networks are becoming powerful hubs of interconnected communities but it’s
not just people that are connecting in the social media space. There is huge demand
for a more social and interactive relationships with brands.
Almost half of the Active Internet Universe has already joined a brand community.
These communities are also clearly having a huge benefit to the brands involved,
driving brand loyalty, endorsement and sales.
However, understanding the nature of social demand for each consumer, category and market is the key to creating a successful social media experience.
This report barely scratches the surface of the rich insight and detail available.
Wave 5 – The Socialisation Of Brands contains information for 20 categories in more than 54 countries. You will find contact details if you require further information at the end of this report.
Wave 5 - The Socialisation of Brands | UM | Social Media TrackerUM Wave
Wave 5 - the socialisation of brands, told us that there was huge demand
for social interaction with brands. However, the nature and depth of this interaction varied wildly from person to person and category to category. But those brands that could create
the right experience benefitted enormously, driving brand loyalty, endorsement and
sales.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
Paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/1886
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

16. Drivers of innovation in
the social era …
Disintermediation
+Disruption
+big data potential…
+but source disaggregation
(adapted from David Campbell)
16
16
18. FACTOR #1:
Death of a middleman (disintermediation)
Removal of intermediaries in the supply chain:
cut out the “middle man” and deal directly with your audience or customer
internet+social+mobile „disintermediates‟ by
• causing the collapse of the cost of publishing, broadcasting and
distributing
• removing obstacles to the creation of new social groups
• eliminating barriers to the formation of distributed networks
In other words, traditional media‟s competitive set went from half
a dozen to millions in a matter of months.
But then:
with everyone talking, who is listening? And where?
who do we trust?
who has authority?
where are the credible sources?
who is most networked?
Source: david-campbell.org
18
21. FACTOR #2:
Technology (disruption)
• Technology has disrupted just about everything
• …traditional media may be the poster child for “most disrupted.”
• the separation of information from its means of distribution
• newspaper, magazine, radio station, CD, television broadcaster,
cinema – challenged by new means of producing and circulating
content
• “the model of the traditional entertainment industry is
predicated on the inefficiency of distribution…Films, TV,
music are all produced and distributed in a tightly controlled
way. The internet blows the doors off that concept because it‟s
an environment where everyone can distribute with maximum
efficiency to everyone else”. The Guardian
• “hitch your fortunes to the information and you will prosper,
chain yourself to means of distribution and you will die.”

25. Factor #3:
New possibilities (big data)
• an information ecosystem that allows more data to be produced in 48 hours than was
produced from the dawn of humans up to 2008.
• Companies now have access to data like never before….
• PEOPLE have access like never before. …

26. FACTOR #4
era of fragmentation
DISAGGREGATION
– Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold
W. B. Yeats
26
27. Factor #4:
Era of fragmentation (Disaggregation)
In the new era – disruption powered by disintermediation – we are
seeing a transformation in the structure and process of information
The disaggregation of forms and formats we have taken to be natural:
• the disaggregation of albums to individual downloads in music
[iTunes stats]
• the disaggregation of newspapers and magazines to stories that can
be circulated or linked to individually
• the disaggregation of broadcast stations and fixed schedules to
personal streams that can be consumed anywhere and anytime
The ‘stream’ …process rather than product
• once disaggregated, things can be updated…at speed
• iTunes downloads and Kindle ebooks are not fixed units, they are
parts of a stream
Disaggregation does not mean things dissolve into a formless universe
They are re-aggregated, but that is increasingly done through social
networks
information becomes social, modular and mobile.

31. Traditional media and social media are not
separate worlds. They are completely
intertwined and feed off each other.
31
32. BUILD A CADRE OF
ADVOCATES
Creating a friendly environment for
your brand and issues requires
a multitude of voices. Building a
strong community of brand advocates
is the key to successful
communications campaigns.
32
33. REACH PEOPLE
WHERE THEY ARE
Driving audiences to new
destinations is difficult. It is
more effective to take your
message to where the people
already are and where your
message is more likely to
spread socially.
33
34. CONTENT DRIVES
ACTION
Successful communications
campaigns use the power of
storytelling to inform audiences
and create an environment ripe
for brand advocacy. Seek to
create sustained engagement so
people are ready to act on your
behalf.
34
35. THINK LIKE A
NEWSROOM
Embrace the always-on
environment and create a
continuous flow of engaging
content by planning and
executing with an editorial
mindset.
35
36. ADJUST TO THE
NEW NORMAL
It‟s not enough to simply publish content.
Syndication and promotion are just as
important.The average piece of content posted to
Facebook reaches 16 percent of its potential
audience. Brand pages average in the low single
digits. The most-engaging campaigns use paid
media opportunities to help content break through
the clutter. For years, advertising interrupted online
activity. Today‟s ads are delivered in-stream as
part of the user experience.
36
37. MEASURE AND
OPTIMIZE
Digital content is never “finished.”
What works today may not be
what works tomorrow. Launch
day is merely the start of an
iterative process that always
seeks to optimize performance to
reach your goals.

Total popMain take away: growth of SS Africa and falling pop in West EuropeInternational Futures logoWeber logo
The middle age of a population. Shows whether a population is aging (growing more slowly) or growing faster with lots of young people. Shows a major ‘age divide’ between high-income and SS Africa. Perhaps most of the youthful innovators of the future will come from Africa
In International Relations, countries with significant youth bulges, defined as 30% or more of pop being between the ages of 15-29, are more likely to experience unrest. In this case, this graph shows where the world’s young people are concentrated for 2010,2025,2030. Big take away is to compare developing countries versus OECD or Europe.%s won’t add to 100 because of country overlap between categories

Shows how many years of schooling an average adult in a given population has completed.
Total disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across a population, expressed as years in millions. DALYs are calculated as the sum of years life lost (YLLs), which are calculated as deviation from life expectancy, and years lived with disability (YLDs). YLDs initialized from WHO Global Burden of Disease estimates; YLLs initialized from calculations inside IFs. DALYs are shown for the three major categories of disease: communicable diseases (this category includes all maternal and prenatal diseases); noncommunicable diseases; and injuries.OECD countries do see an increase in non-communicable deaths, however, the increase is tiny on this scale and for the OECD, more and more people may contract but survive noncommunicable diseases. The data does show a significant increase in obesity and in living with disability. Transition of developing countries more important
The Knowledge Society Index is calculated using R&D spending as a portion of GDP and tertiary graduation rates as a percentage of total population. The two components are weighted equally. KNOWSOC RANDEXP EDTERGRATErr,TotalAdapted from the technological connectivity subindex of the A. T. Kearney Globalization Index (see “Globalization Index” entry below). Supplemented in IFs with ties to R&D spending and tertiary graduation rate (see B. Hughes 2005 Part 2 for specification).Work has been done to expand this measure, but hasn’t been implemented in the model yet.

These four things are taken from David Campbell in a post he wrote a while ago. So, you MUST give credit to him for this. Then, I’ve taken examples to support what he’s saying and interjected them, along with plenty of my own perspective. But, these are the four things going on out there that are driving us to behave differently as communicators (and as humans).
Syria: simple point to make here is that Syria, like so much of our global news, is driven by social reporting. News is reported today with using traditional media as an intermediary. This is good. And this is bad. Good in that we get a wider variety of sources to cover the news and hopefully, therefore, getting a more rounded and thorough POV on what happened. Good in that the news is often reported immediately (remember, the helicopter on its way to Bin Laden’s was reported WHILE IT WAS GOING OVERHEAD – not as Bin Laden’s pursuer, but reported nonetheless. That’s reporting news before it’s even news.)But it’s bad because we have not filter for truth. No real accountability exists, or at least not how it traditionally has. Certainly, traditional media has not always reported empirical unbiased truths, there was an invisible standard in place. Now, that certainty is someone gone. And secondly, it’s bad because it has created a polarization of opinions and beliefs ABOUT news. Meaning, if I don’t like the POV of that “news caster” about the Syrian uprising, I can go find a news “channel” that I agree with. I then sit in my own echo chamber being fed information I already agree with and I end up never hearing the other perspective. It’s polarizing the world. Verizon: this is the key case study you should show and we should discuss on the phone so you can talk to it. But, it honestly should be your case study to show how organizations can/should disseminate their news. Given that your presentation is about innovation, this is innovative in the sense that it revolutionized how PR is done within Verizon. Here’s the 50,000 foot overview:Theyused to put out 1500 news releases. Nowthey put out zero but actuallyget more media coveragethantheyused to. Theypublishtheir « news » by coveringthemselves. As well as covering the industry. They have an editor in chief and a stable of editors, copy writers, journalists, graphic designers, photographers, etc. All of whompublish news fromVerizon. How does it work exactly? Here’s one small anecdote:Each morning the editorial team meets to discuss what stories they should be covering. Just like a news desk at a media outlet. One morning they noticed that a convention on technology for the visually impaired was happening in Utah. So, they hopped a plan with a couple cameras to cover the event. No intent on what to cover, only the knowledge that news related to their technology COULD occur. They walked around event looking for content, shot some video, took it back to Boston and created a fantastic story: http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2013/08/visus-technology.htmlBut the truest innovation here is that it has made the media relations team be a business driver within VZW. We all know that PR has not traditionally been able to point to a dollar bill and say « we earned that. » But, now they can say « we produced this content and it drove X hundred people to the product page. » And, by X we mean five figures each month. They can’t prove without question that their media relations and content production efforts are getting people in the door to consideration.
I find this extremely fascinating and think Moscow might as well. Think about it: the reason we stuck to newspapers is because it took a freaking publishing factory to get news into our heads. Or a radio or tv tower. We were chained to the means of distribution. Being so chained meant we were chained to whatevert information they spit out because what other choice did we have? Sure there have always been small runs of radical newspapers printed from homes, and Kinkos made this more prevalent in the 80s when the word process became affordable. But, still the syndication of that news was extremely limited. Today, we as humans have been entirely librated from the means of distribution. It’s as if we can fly without having to go to the airport and get on a plane. It’s that extreme. The more business oriented example above of Netflix certainly applies – and that’s the best one to articulate what’s chained in the world today: imagine the number and breadth of movies our kids will get to see compared to what we saw; imagine what that will do to their minds. Take it further: imagine what it can do to their acceptance of other cultures and beliefs if they’re watching the right movies – imagine how much more racist/sexist/homophobic they can become if they are watching the wrong content. This is heady stuff, of course, but get the sense from the website and your audience that this kind of intellectual fodder might intrigue them: looking at social media not purely as a marketing tool but asking ourselves the question: what is this doing to us as people/communities.
Just two visuals to have up while talking Netflix.
Hopefully this makes sense. It’s really talking about how there is no PLACE for news anymore. A news story just LIVES out there in space. Rather than we going to a paper or a tv to get our news, news runs in to us. It hits our facebook wall or twitter feed. And, even if we’re not on twitter or Facebook, traditional media uses these social tools to procure news, so whether we know it or not, social is informing us.
You might skip this section if you are short on time, but it’s a smart way of looking at all this. In order to get noticed, you have to create content that people cant find better elsewhere. End of story. The Tunnel Creek and the 100M Dash stories are magnificient examples of this and if you show any examples of tremendous work, show those. Check them out and then we can discuss. They are hyperlinked in this slide.
