Twitter was founded in 2005 and launched in 2006. It allows users to post and interact with short messages called tweets. While registered users can both post and read tweets, unregistered users can only read them. Twitter grew in popularity through events like SXSW where live tweets were displayed, and through celebrity users. It has impacted global news and events through hashtags that organize discussion. However, Twitter faces challenges to grow beyond its initial user base and find a sustainable revenue model as it expands globally and competes with other messaging platforms. It continues working to capitalize on users' interests through products like Periscope and improve access in emerging markets.
The document discusses various fears and reasons for not embracing social media presented by authors Devangna Puri and Maren Jansen. It talks about how in the 1990s, business executives doubted computers would become mainstream as it required learning how to type.

The document then lists the top 5 reasons people give for not using social media and argues it is important for companies to embrace social media for communication and marketing.
The document discusses the success of author Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series and how social media helped propel its popularity. It describes how fans championed the books on sites like Amazon, Twilight Lexicon, and TwilightMOMS, helping sales reach 7.5 million copies. The document also references how social media allowed for word-of-mouth promotion and influenced perceptions of the books through consumer-generated content.
The document discusses ways to prevent smartphone addiction. It notes that adults now spend an average of five hours per day on their devices, checking their phones every 19 minutes. To help disconnect from smartphones, it recommends turning off notifications, especially during work and sleep. It also suggests using break times away from technology by going for walks, chatting with others, or reading. Additionally, keeping smartphones out of the bedroom can help improve sleep quality by avoiding exposure to blue light late at night.

This increased exposure and engagement with customers through mobile can result in more rounds played, memberships, and overall revenue for the course. The document advocates that courses develop an app and mobile strategy to reach more golfers, especially as smartphones become a main way people access online content and services.

The stunning election of Donald Trump as president and the surprising Brexit decision demonstrates citizens can disrupt the elite political establishment when it fails to represent the needs of the people.
On a larger scale, it means politicians and governments can be held accountable for putting their self-serving goals before those that put them in power.
Shareholders also need to take note and rally to toss CEOs when they put their personal agenda before the interests of investors.
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz put personal political views before shareholders when he aggressively challenged a number of policies promoted by President Trump in a letter to employees. The backlash from Trump supporters was swift and #boycottStarbucks became a top trending hashtag on Twitter.
The damage Schultz is causing by putting himself before shareholders pales in comparison to Unilever CEO Paul Polman.
Polman is a poster child of a CEO gone rogue.
Today In: Opinion
Since leading the company in 2009, Unilever has suffered financial and public relations damage from Polman’s disastrous leadership.
At the core of Polman’s problem is his eagerness to put superficial feel good policies ahead of sound business decisions and he is not shy about touting his twisted priorities.

In Polman’s world, “as CEO of Unilever, my personal mission is to galvanize our company to be an effective force for good.”
While Polman seeks approval from global elites and basks in the glory of being called a “sustainability evangelist’” and a world saver for his roles in combating climate change and efforts to address social issues, Unilever has gone off the rails.
Despite Polman’s efforts to make Unilever a good corporate citizen, Unilever was mired in environmental and sexual harassment controversies.
Last year, Unilever settled with almost 600 workers in India over mercury exposure from a now closed thermometer plant following a 2006 lawsuit over exposure to the toxic element. The issue reached global attention from an Indian rapper’s song “Kodaikanal Won’t” that modified Nicki Minaj tune “Amaconda,” with lyrics addressing the mercury contamination problem.
A 2011 Irish Times story exposed sexual harassment claims from African workers that said they had to bribe supervisors to stop them from unwanted advances.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Microservice Teams - How the cloud changes the way we workSven Peters
A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.
Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
