Douglas Thomas on A New Culture of Learning - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    I watched this on TVO today and found it explored some good concepts, particularly the difference between the collective and community. As well, I like his distinction between context vs content providers in higher education -- shaping discussion rather than trying to disseminate it.

Classroom of 2020: The future is very different than you think - The Globe and Mail - 0 views

  •  
    Not sure if technology replaces an intimate, interactive learning environment. The problem is defining which classrooms benefit from it rather than a university-wide policy. (I meant to post this when I first read it but came back to it around after watching another digital education seminar).

    This infographic by MBAOnline.com shows tech use by different generations during the day. Slightly suspicious of the amount of radio use.

Big Data is our generation's civil rights issue, and we don't know it - Solve for Inter... - 0 views

  •  
    Been reading up on big data since the first mashup and found this article on big data being our generation's civil rights issue. Personalization is being touted as the future but, as this article states, is it just another word for discrimination as well?

  •  
    I'm still learning about SEO but I'm really interested in its effect on website content. Planning keywords into content, especially on news articles, can be dangerous to the art of writing.

Is Social Media Creating a Plagiarism Problem? - 0 views

  •  
    When we talk about sharing online, we often forget that through sharing, credibility and accountability for copyright is lost.

Ethical standards for infographics | Occasional Planet - 0 views

  •  
    I really enjoyed our infographics seminar in PC8006 last week and the ethical implications of infographics. There's many out there but I thought this one was sweet and simple, and has a sort of 'rules list' that some infographic designers are choosing to abide by.

    Based on today's Mashup, an article on big data privacy invasion as a business model for companies. Our data is moving more and more out of our control.

The News App That's Going To Drive The Media Insane - 1 views

  •  
    Reinventing the news story into aggregated briefs, fixing "what older media organizations had demonstrated they couldn't, and effectively doing it all on the backs of existing media properties." Reading news as units of information.

What makes YouTube's news audience click? | Storyful Blog - 0 views

  •  
    News organizations sometimes post content that was apparently captured by citizen eyewitnesses without any clear attribution as to the original producer. Citizens are posting copyrighted material without permission. And the creator of some material cannot be identified. All this creates the potential for news to be manufactured, or even falsified, without giving audiences much ability to know who produced it or how to verify it.

Want to Highlight Your New Facebook Pictures? Pay to Promote Them Samantha Murphy - 0 views

  •  
    You can now promote your posts onto your friends' news feeds by paying Facebook to do it. What does this change mean for users? I see this being used for promoting when people enter contests eventually. What will this mean for business exposure?

    Something interesting (and a tad bit morbid) to think about.

One in five use social media for customer service: survey - The Globe and Mail - 0 views

  •  
    Just a quick piece about a survey that found one in five consumers have used social media to get a customer service response in the past year. Worth noting from the study is that only 54 per cent of consumers tell others about good experiences. I found that surprisingly high? Also, check out the link in the article to Dell's guide to social commenting and managing online conversations -- http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/files/2012/05/dell-social-media-tips.png

Myspace Unveils Video Preview of Dramatic Redesign | News & Opinion | PCMag.com - 0 views

  •  
    I mentioned Myspace a lot in the discussion for next week. Here is an example of a social media that essentially died but is trying to come back. Aggressively. The interface seems to highly draw upon Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest... Will the redesign work? Do we want a Twitter-Facebook hybrid? Or do users like having them separate? What will the new Myspace mean for communicators who use social media?

Zellers Everything Must GO -- Including Zeddy - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    This is a bit OT: A new Zellers ad that's pretty funny regarding the Zellers-Target takeover controversy. Bringing some sympathy to Zellers (and their workers by default). Did they communicate it well? I think so.

By 2014, 1 in 10 Social Media Reviews Will Be Fake [STUDY] - 0 views

  •  
    10% of business reviews will be fake by 2014 -- I found this shocking! Sure, don't believe everything you read online but 10 per cent? If you're a communications manager relying on reviews to promote your company or build trust among customers, how do you maintain your integrity if this kind of statistic is floating around?

    I thought No. 10 was interesting if you were asked to give a company social networking advice -- get on a network even if you don't think you can...make it work for you.
