My presentation for Digital Directions 11 in Sydney Australia. I talked about how news organisations could find new opportunities in a world of over abundant content and scarce attention.
This was a catch-all "market analysis" presentation I put together in October 2008, based in part on some thinking of Jeff Jarvis regarding an emerging "press sphere," among other topics addressed here.

Digital Strangelove (or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Internet)David Gillespie
This is a collection of thoughts around where we are right now in the history of the Internet. I believe we're getting ahead of ourselves, confusing the growth of the Internet with it growing up, but I also believe we're doing some amazing things, and can draw a few lines in the sand, making some solid guesses on where we are going.

Visitors and Residents: useful social media in librariesNed Potter
A keynote for the Interlend 2015 Conference. Blog post explaining these slides in more detail at: http://www.ned-potter.com/blog/visitors-and-residents-useful-social-media-in-libraries.
The Digital Natives myth is readily accepted but ultimately damaging. As students (and staff) come into our higher education system, to make blanket assumptions about their abilities with or understandings of technology based only on their date of birth is to do them a disservice.
An alternative way to explore peoples' use of the net is the Visitors and Residents model from Le Cornu and White (first brought to my attention by Donna Lanclos). I find this a proplerly useful way of thinking, which can help us as libraries provide geniunely useful social media for our users, whether they are in Visitor mode or Resident mode.
This presentation explores why the Digital Natives theory is a bust, introduces V&R, looks at the use of YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Blogs by libraries, and provides links to more detailed papers on Digital Natives, Visitors and Residents, and other insightful viewpoints.

The Digital Age: A Challenge for Christian Discipleship #ECSM2014Bex Lewis
In the twenty-first century churchgoing is no longer the ‘cultural norm’ for many in the UK. People don’t actively ignore the church: they don’t even think about it. For churches, websites and social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest have now effectively become the ‘front door’ to billions of digital users. As Sara Batts research has shown us, many churches are finally starting to get that the online landscape is important, but still need convincing that something more radical is needed than a new website, as opportunities have arisen to embrace a more social ministry, where to ‘love your neighbour’ may include those from anywhere in the world.
The ‘digital age’ brings the opportunity for a wider range of voices to contribute to conversations: many online will engage with ‘church’ through their friends rather than formal Christian organisations. In 2010 ‘The BIGBible Project’ emerged to encourage those at all levels of theChristian sector to engage with digital culture, and to consider what this means for Christian communication practices, in a culture in which messages are both ephemerally ‘in the now’, and perpetually available.
Technologies have changed what is possible, and for many churches over the last few hundred years a model of passive, presentation-piece services has been adopted, heightened even more by a broadcast mode of media that we all got used to with the TV and the radio. Social media, however, offers much more space for questioning, and for congregations to actively engage with sermons through tweeting along, checking something on their online Bibles or Google, sharing photos of church activities, or being encouraged to continue discussions hyper-locally throughout the week through a Facebook group.
The BIGBible Project emphasises that disciples live at all times for God, whenever and wherever, and therefore all Christians need to take seriously their presence both online and offline. This paper will draw from over 2,000 contributions made to the The BIGBible blog, where over 120 Christians from across the ecumenical spectrum have contributed thoughts as to how discipleship is affected (and can affect, particularly behaviours) in the digital age and the digital spaces.
The Relevance of the Paper: According to the 2011 census, Christianity is the major religion in the UK. As a sector it offers an interesting case study of how longstanding faith groups are dealing with the challenges presented by the digital age, institutionally and individually.

The 2014 Edelman Trust Barometer’s Irish findings reveal a significant (11 points) drop in trust in government in Ireland over the past 12 months. The fall puts trust in government back to pre-general election levels. Trust in business fell slightly but is still trusted nearly twice as much as government. NGOs in Ireland remain the most trusted institution despite falling 5 points. Trust in media in Ireland also declined (8 points) and is now less trusted than business. Globally overall trust levels declined, driven by the decimation of trust in government which fell significantly in many of the 27 countries surveyed. Trust in business has stabilised at 58 percent due to the perception that it has made demonstrable change in the form of better products and new leadership.
Ireland Highlights 2014:
• The Trust Index, the average trust across the four institutions of business, government, NGOs and media, showed a 7 point drop for Ireland (to 39 points). This places Ireland as the third least trusting country of the 27 surveyed.
• NGOs in Ireland remain the most trusted institution despite falling 5 points to 58%.
• Business is the second most trusted institution in Ireland, despite a small 3 point decline to 41%. It is now nearly twice as trusted as government.
• The technology sector (67%) remained the most trusted industry sector, while banks were the least trusted at 19%.
• Trust in media fell 8 points to 37%, reversing a gradual improvement observed during the previous five years.
• Government is the least trusted of the four institutions with only 21% of people saying that they trust government to do what is right. This is the lowest level of trust recorded for Government since before the general election in 2011.
• More concerning again is the fact that only 3% of people trust government leaders a great deal to tell the truth.
• Credibility of CEOs as a source of information about a company fell seven points to 29%. CEOs are significantly less credible than Academics (68%).
• Traditional media (newspapers, radio and television) are the most trusted source of information in Ireland (61%), followed by search engines at 50%. Only 26% of people trust social media as a source of information.
• 56% believe that government is not doing enough to regulate business with the number increasing to 81% when specifically asked about the financial services sector.

Big Data Analytics: Reference Architectures and Case Studies by Serhiy Haziye...SoftServe
BI architecture drivers have to change to satisfy new requirements in format, volume, latency, hosting, analysis, reporting, and visualization. In this presentation delivered at the 2014 SATURN conference, SoftServe`s Serhiy and Olha showcased a number of reference architectures that address these challenges and speed up the design and implementation process, making it more predictable and economical:
- Traditional architecture based on an RDMBS data warehouse but modernized with column-based storage to handle a high load and capacity
- NoSQL-based architectures that address Big Data batch and stream-based processing and use popular NoSQL and complex event-processing solutions
- Hybrid architecture that combines traditional and NoSQL approaches to achieve completeness that would not be possible with either alone
The architectures are accompanied by real-life projects and case studies that the presenters have performed for multiple companies, including Fortune 100 and start-ups.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Society knows how to react to scarcity.” We know how to ration, save, and preserve when we
need to do so. It’s much harder to set priorities and find our path when information
abounds. We may drown. We may get side-tracked. We may shut down. But, in any case,
abundance confuses and distracts us more than scarcity does.

The average news reader spends little time on newspaper-owned sites, from a 20 minutes a
month or so on the New York Times site to eight to 12 minutes on most local newspaper
sites. That’s minutes per month. Those numbers, as tracked by Nielsen and reported monthly
by Editor and Publisher, are steady at best, showing, in fact, some recent decline. They are,
literally, stuck in time.
Then, take the number of minutes Internet users spend on social sites. Nielsen’s January tally
showed seven hours of usage a month on Facebook alone, in the U.S., blowing away all
competition.

The Internet over the last few years has been about getting as much content to as many people as possible – bringing an incredible range of
content to our screens like never before. The problem is that we are now surrounded by too much content that takes too much time to find,
qualify and consume.
Seedcamp winners riding wave of relevant content by Jos White
Google and the other search engines do a decent job in a wide and shallow sort of way, but there is a growing need for technologies/
services that are able to work on a narrower and deeper level to make better sense of the content out there. There is lots of data available (if
we decide to give it) based on who we are, where we are, what we like and what we are looking for, and, if used intelligently it can enable
good decisions to be made in terms of providing us with more relevant content.
Out of the 12 winners at Seedcamp, seven are involved in optimising content in some way and making it more personalised to the user.

...If we have a database of relationships of key people and companies, add some generally-
known-but-not-easily-accessed (or not-so-generally-known) information, such as family
ties or schools attended, and then have journalists update the database whenever they file
stories on the people and companies, then after a while you have a monster database that’s
increasing in value everyday – and can’t easily be replicated.
