This document discusses the importance and benefits of using social media for businesses. It notes that 79% of adult Americans use the internet and 78% of internet users conduct product research online, demonstrating the widespread adoption of social media. Several popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn are described in terms of their functionality and user statistics. Common excuses for not using social media are addressed and rebutted. The document encourages businesses to dedicate 15 minutes per day to learn about tools and build an online presence in order to spread ideas and connect with customers.
In this presentation, Susan Schoenian, University of Maryland Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist, shares her experiences using various social media tools.

The presentation I delivered at the Executive Research Association - ERA - on the 6th April 2011.
The presentation audience was recruitment researchers and resources, and that was the focus of the day.
Instead of juggling several social networks to keep up with the ‘trend”, it’s smarter and much more efficient to choose ones that are proven to be popular, effective and easy to use. Here are the five social networks where you can establish an effective inbound marketing strategy directed to teens.
Stop working harder and start working smarter.
Everybody wants to be great at social media, but instead of spending dozens of hours every week making it happen, start relying more on tools that can help you drive amazing results in less time.
Social media what's all the chat about by jez jowett 2009Jez Jowett
a document that i found when i was digging through my old files.
this was a presentation i did to set the scene for social media, almost 4 years ago when people were just starting to ask what it was. Suprisingly little has actually changed. except of course of the explosion of specific tools and networks - such as facebook and twitter. otherwise, the principles have stayed identical.
The last in a 3 part series. Part 1 explained what social media is. Part 2 explained why it is important. Part 3 now shows you how to do it. Part 4is about putting it into practise with a workshop, which no slideshare can do justice to. Unfortunately the viral marketing examples of HRH Kate Middleton naked, Brad Pitt naked, Angelina Jolie XXX have all had to be removed (spider search joke here).
A mock presentation designed to explain the debut of social media, its impact on business, and the benefits (or lack of benefits) it offers for this mock client.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?

An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields

But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

14. What is Social Media?
“ Social media is the utilization of online tools to help people share ideas, interesting
content, thoughts, brand experience, opinions, photos, videos, reviews, purchases,
deals, experiences, what they had for dinner, when they’re going to bed and their
penchant for Starbucks Coffee…
”
15. No Really…
It’s about sharing information…Social Media allows
you to share information very easily.
18. 800 million active users
Average 130 friends each
Facebook Users by Age - 2011
Second most trafficked
website next only to Google!
•60 million status updates per day
Monthly time spent on Facebook is 8.3 billion hours.
•350 million access through mobile
devices
19.

21. Each login to Twitter is 4.5X more likely to result in a status update than a login to Facebook.
“Twitter is very much an ’of the moment’ information network”
Nearly 200 million users
300,000 new users each day
140 million tweets/day
2 billion average tweets per month
76% growth vs Facebook at 54%
22.
23. 700 billion streams/2010
35 hours of video uploaded
every minute!
It would take 412.3
years to watch every
YouTube video
More video is uploaded to YouTube in 60 days than the 3 major US networks created in 60 years

your Marketing”
It’s “Why Aren’t you”!!!!!

this nonsense?
5 Top Excuses For Not Joining Social Media
3. My customers 5. Don’t want to

media opportunity to
talk negative
about me
1. Twitter & Facebook makes networking easy, painless, and powerful.
2. Lines between personal and business networks are blurring.
3. Have you checked to see?
4. You have the ability to stay on top of the people you want to hear from.
5. People are already talking about you. It's better to know what they are saying then to not know.
27. Why Social Media for my Business?
You can buy attention (with advertising); You
can beg for attention from the media (with
PR); You can bug people one at a time to get
attention (with direct sales).
Or you can earn attention by creating
something interesting and valuable and then
publishing it online for free: a YouTube video,
photo’s, a Twitter stream, a Facebook page, a
presentation on SlideShare.
