How we watch TV is changing. With 90+ new shows launching this summer, entertainment brands are using social to tap new prospects in interesting ways. That and other July social updates from iris Worldwide!
Compiled by me for iris Worldwide.
Facebook offers general “best practices” for brands regarding publishing content on pages. However, there is still quite a bit of gray area on how these guidelines should be applied from practical standpoint.
That’s where this deck comes in. Based on both iris’ learnings and statistics from third-party sources, what follows is a POV on what “best practices” translates to on a daily content creation and publishing basis.
However, please note that these learnings represent platform best practices as of right now. Facebook changes frequently, and best practices will evolve frequently as well. Enjoy!
iris' latest social update, covering the latest platform updates and what they mean for brands. Plus, 27% of Americans are Millennials, so we took a look at a group of brands taking advantage of seasonal relevance to unlock the magic formula for reaching them. See how beverage brands are pursuing exclusive music content strategies and what the rest of us can learn.

This presentation was given at this years Faculty In-Service for the purpose of describing Web 2.0 and interaction with students. It highlights the newly created Second Life Campus where faculty can explore the possibilities in their teaching fields with their students. The SL Campus was new to 70% of the faculty as a concept and they were invited to come and explore before rushing to teach in this environment. The college campus tour in Second Life concluded the presentation with questions and answers.

This Second Life tour highlights an educator's journey - Lyr Lobo - from the first days in world to the start of the NMC Teachers Buzz to taking virtual world classes, designing classes, teaching classes, examining research and mentoring on the Teen Grid.
It showcases projects and activities from English composition, literature, software design, game design, systems engineering methods, software requirements engineering and Teen Grid classes at the Ramapo islands by Suffern Middle School, including a couple of initial photos from the Summer 2007 - CS 835 robotics class activities at Colorado Technical University (CTU).
The photos include new content from recent projects and Elf Circle activities.

Virtual Environments and Web 3D – New Worlds with Old Problems?Tracy Kennedy
In 2003, Linden Research Inc launched the virtual world Second Life with a small community of residents. In the past year, Second Life reached a tipping point; almost nine million residents are registered in the Metaverse, and there are numerous daily media accounts about life in the virtual world.
The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of Second Life, and examine the appeal of an interactive three dimensional interface that has encouraged new leisure and social activities, business and marketing ventures, educational opportunities, political platforms, arts and entertainment and much more. Second Life also features its own media hub, which includes magazines, news sites and agencies, weblogs and television stations, covering new fashions for avatars, music concerts by popular artists, community affairs, and economic reports.
However, virtual worlds are not inherently utopian; with new environments come old social problems from the ‘real’ world. This presentation will also address some of the debates that have surfaced about social norms and behaviours in Second Life, what the future of virtual worlds might entail, and whether Second Life hype is a passing fad or a the development of Web 3.0/3D.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

8. 2011 – First Quarter Nearly 800 thousand people logged into Second Life more than once during each month The overall dollar value of Linden Dollars held by Second Life residents is up to US$29.3 million
Second Life remains the largest preference of worlds by far at 76% (OpenSim barely registers, and others aren't even mentioned) New World Notes, Feb 15, 2010
Today I’d like to speak to you about Second Life, or SL. Who are in SL? What do people do in SL? What’s so promising about SL? And in case you’re interested, how to get started with SL.
SL is a virtual world with 1 million regular users, mostly coming from the United States, Europe, Canada, Brazil. While in Second Life, most of these users use money to purchase virtual items. In SL, the money used is Linden dollars.
Second Life remains the largest preference of worlds by far at 76% (OpenSim barely registers, and others aren't even mentioned) New World Notes, Feb 15, 2010
The exchange rate changes depending on supply and demand, but it is roughly $250 lindens to a dollar. I was in Hungary last week and couldn’t help but notice that the exchange rate for forints is so similar to linden dollars. The exchange rate in Hungary is roughly 220 forints to a dollar.
