TITLE: SocialSYNC Launched by Syncapse and developed by Crimson Hexagon REFERENCE PEOPLE/ORGANISATION: LOCATION:US IMPLEMENTATION LEVEL:Deployed DESCRIPTION:SocialSYNC provides a powerful framework that pulls brands' unstructured social marketing data and content from third-party platforms and social media sites, and stores it in one managed, hosted and secure datacenter. This addition to the Syncapse Platform is designed to eliminate the data fragmentation that currently exists for brands as they ingest massive amounts of big data and content driven by disparate social applications.

Founded in 2006, Radian6 was created with the idea that companies need to actively engage in Social Media Monitoring. Intelligence about online conversations is critical: companies need to know what's being said about their brand, industry, and competitors online. So we built a listening platform designed to help companies do just that. But listening is just the beginning. Businesses need to measure, analyze, and report on their social media efforts. They need to discover insights from their information. They need to engage. And they need the best tools to reach these targets. Radian6 provides the ability to do it all, and to incorporate all the areas that social media touches across the enterprise, including customer service, sales and lead generation, public relations, marketing, and more.

YEAR: 2010 ISSN: 1996-1073 AUTHOR/s: Bassi REFERENCE PEOPLE/ORGANISATION: Millennium Institute LINKS: http://www.millennium-institute.org/ DESCRIPTION: With the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 national leaders have startedinvestigating options for reducing carbon emissions within national borders. Despiteconfronting similar energy issues, every country that adopted the Kyoto Protocol has aunique energy strategy -being characterized by a different context, social, economicor environmental that influences the way different nations deal with climate change andother energy-related issues. Finding that currently available energy models are often toodetailed or narrowly focused to inform longer-term policy formulation and evaluation holistically, the present study proposes the utilization of an integrated cross-sectoralmedium to longer-term research and modeling approach, incorporating variousmethodologies to minimize exogenous assumptions and endogenously represent the keydrivers of the system analyzed. The framework proposed includes feedback, delays andnon-linearity and focuses on structure, scenarios and policies, requires a profoundcustomization of the model that goes beyond a new parameterization. The inclusion of social and environmental factors, in addition to economic ones, all unique to thegeographical area analyzed, allows for a wider analysis of the implication of policies byidentifying potential side effect or longer-term bottlenecks for socio-economicdevelopment and environmental preservation arising from cross-sectoral relations.

PING is an online game made for secondary schools, forming a starting point to discuss the subject 'poverty' and what it means to be poor. Ping is aimed at the students of the secondary and third degree. The students become the main characters in the game. They can choose between Jim or Sofia, who, due to certain circumstances, end up on the street and need to find their own path. PING shows that games can help to introduce complex social subjects like poverty in the class room. The partners of the PING project want to contribute to the social debate encouraging the use of games at school as a tool to open the difficult discussion about poverty

In today's hyper-connected world, social media and online customer interactions are changing the way companies do business from the outside in. Leading brands recognize that their customers are both passionate and vocal about their products and services, and they are sharing their experiences in conversations every day. Until recently, however, social monitoring tools allowed you to listen to these conversations, but lacked the sophisticated analytics capabilities needed to derive critical business insights. Attensity enables you to go beyond mere social media monitoring to: LISTEN to social customer conversations from over 75 million online sources, including the full Twitter Firehose, Facebook, blogs, communities, forums and other sources. ANALYZE those conversations for key business insights, going beyond basic sentiment to get detailed reports on customer feedback about new products, campaigns, brands, service and support, and other business drivers. RELATE that intelligence to structured data within your existing customer systems such as CRM, ERP, BI, EFM and other systems. ACT with a Playbook that allows you to take charge of emerging issues and manage the customer experience based on your own organizational structure and business processes.
