This document discusses how small companies can benefit from social media. It notes that while some companies avoid social media due to ignorance and fear, social media is changing how people live, work and get information. For small companies, social media can be used for marketing, support, sales, HR and research. While it requires transparency and engagement over time, case studies show how small networks on Facebook were able to create large events with little to no costs. The document concludes by outlining steps to create a social media plan, including defining goals and projects, finding ambassadors and measuring results.
The Social Web for Skeptics (or, Using the Social Web for Social Change)Lauren Bacon
Hype, hype, and more hype: To many, the whole Web 2.0 revolution feels like one big bandwagon with little relationship to real-world concerns. And let’s face it: A Twitter account and a Facebook page will not change the world all by themselves. But let’s talk about what’s at the heart of the social web, and where its potential for real change lies. Web 2.0 has been around for a while now, and we’ve learned some important lessons about what works. In this presentation, I share five effective strategies for facilitating social change movements online, and encourage you to identify your own top priorities for using the social web to further your organizational mission.
The future of social media ozmota inc personalized web - final public 210611matthew.kapp
For the social web to deliver greater relevancy, it must evolve. It must become personal. To better understand this, we must look at how the web has evolved and where it needs to get to. Ozmota Inc's mission is to Personalize the web.
By directing people’s attention provides many opportunities, particularly given attention is truly our most valued currency.
Once the web knows your interests, the way in which we consume the web can start to change.
Information that is not discoverable through keyword search starts to float to the top of your interest streams.
New people and information can be discovered, rather than pushed at us. Or more precisely, information is pulled to the surface to the huge corpus of information for each user.
This will not only drastically improve information discovery, but will accelerate collaboration and conversation and focus our attention on what matters most.
With a personalised view of the web, each and every user will be connected with the right information at the right time.
Further, by accessing our technology through defined interfaces, any website or application can use knowledge of a user’s interests in order to give them a personal experience.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

18. Why are companies NOT using SM?
Is this the right way to go?
vrijdag 11 december 2009 18
19. Why are companies NOT using SM?
• Lack of information => ignorance
• Ignorance => fear
• No idea of the current size,
growth, impact, potential,
value, ...
• Decissionmakers are often too old
themselves to understand the
importance of this rapid change
• But they are locking-out reality
and the future of online
communication!
vrijdag 11 december 2009 19
20. Why Allow Social Media?
• Social Media are changing the way we
• live
• work
• get informed
• ...
• Do you want to deprive your staff access to phone, internet or
mail?
• If not:
• why limit access to a highly efficient and powerful source of
communication and information?
• why push your staff into “stealth mode”. They will do it anyway!
vrijdag 11 december 2009 20
21. Why Allow Social Media?
• Because you simply can not switch it off!
• Remember Iran?
• Primary access to social sites in the very near future will be via mobile devices
(often not part of your infrastructure)
• It’s part of people’s lives

23. Social Media For Small Companies
• Social Media can be used for anything
• Marketing (create an audience and interact with it)
• Support (track issues and help people, even if they are not your
customers)
• Sales (put your promo’s in the social stream)
• HR (looking for staff? Social Media are a very effective and
inexpensive way to search)
• Research (your social graph is a rich source of information, that you
can not just search but also inquire)
• Both B2C and B2B
vrijdag 11 december 2009 23
24. Social Media For Small Companies
•Research shows that big brands in social media are big
brands in real live
•But small companies can benefit from social media too:
• you really have to be smart, not rich
• in social media, it’s “relevance” that counts, not “decibels”
• if you are willing to engage, you can create personal, working
(and profitable) relationships
vrijdag 11 december 2009 24
25. Social Media For Small Companies
•But beware:
• you really have to be transparent. Once you engage in social
media, you have to be open an honest as a company.
• you have to be “the real you”. Don’t fake.
• it takes time to build a network and you can not just buy it.
• your staff is the best way to start spreading your messages
• don’t overdo, don’t spam
•It’s ideal to create new, strong and viral relationships

• August 2009: +10.000 people on the beach
• 3 weeks beforehand: just a dozen people
started to invite friends on Facebook to join
• After 3 weeks: 25.000 people were personally
and hand-picked invited by their peers to
attend the shooting. Thousands confirmed,
• The 2 Fb pages have aprox. 4.000 fans (and
growing)
• Cost of the social media : 0€
• Already 7.000 people joined the online dance
www.dancefortheclimate.org in their own
dance.
vrijdag 11 december 2009 29
30. Some more local data
• Test-Aankoop launched their information
campaign about “expensive internet” in
Belgium
• They started “seeding” from within their local
staff: 20 people started sharing the message on
Fb and Twitter
• After 2-3 weeks:
• 13.500 people did the test to check their
internet subscription (online driven by Fb
traffic)
• 850 people became fan on Fb, providing
them a new, strong opt-in group of online
contacts via social media. Every next
campaign will increase this number.
