At paidContent, we chronicle the world of social media on a minute-by-minute basis. But sometimes, in an industry moving so fast, it's useful, fun, and necessary to allow yourself a day away from the everyday to think, learn, and network alongside your fellow industry leaders. So on April 26, ContentNext Media, our parent company, is presenting its first conference, The Economics of Social Media, at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Over one packed day, in a series of large and small sessions we're designing to ensure maximum participation, we'll examine the tremendous changes social media is bringing to: Traditional media Newspapers and magazines surely aren't what they used to be Movies, television, music, and games The entrenched players are having to play catch up Marketing You'll never sell anything the same way again Venture capital and mergers & acquisitions How deals happen, what deals are coming Mobile media How social media is changing the most social of all devices: the mobile phone Nanomedia The blogosphere takes center stage With the acknowledged leaders of this industry (and some surprises), we will discuss the business, financial and economic aspects arising out of the disruption being caused by the rise of social media, emerging business models, and how all this is changing the dynamics of many industries. Watch this space over the next few weeks as we introduce our speakers and panelists. As we fill out that list, we'll also let you know about the social media aspects we're integrating into the conference, including a chance for attendees to tell us which topics we're missing and program a panel to fill it. In 2005, MySpace broke all the rules. In 2006, YouTube broke whatever rules remained. What's next? At The Economics of Social Media, you'll get some early warning. You'll probably give some early warning, too. 170 CA Over one packed day we'll examine the tremendous changes social media is bringing to: Traditional media, Marketing, Venture capital and mergers & acquisitions, Mobile media, Nanomedia 2007-02-09 false http://www.econsm.com/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/170 economics, new media, publishing, social media, social networks, start ups, web 20 King of Prussia USA 2007-02-22 Time: 6 - 8 pm Location: GSI Commerce, Inc., 935 First Avenue, King of Prussia, PA RSVP: Please let us know if you are coming at phillyCHI@gmail.com Interest in content user-assigned tags is one of the big new stories on the Web. But content tagging is not a new story. What's new about Web 2.0 is that end users are doing the tagging instead of librarians, and the results are being shown almost instantly on websites like flickr, del.icio.us, Wikipedia, and Technorati.Librarians have long contended that end users cannot usefully tag content because they are not trained in how to do indexing. More correctly, end users cannot tag content the way librarians tag content. But this begs the question about what kind of tagging is useful. Joseph will discuss the usefulness to be found in tagging as it relates to librarians and usability professionals, the Semantic Web, and document and content management practices. Joseph Busch is the Founder and a Principal of Taxonomy Strategies. Joseph is an authority in the field of information science, a past President of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, and an appointee to the Board of Directors of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. He is a frequent speaker on metadata, taxonomy, indexing, classification research, information retrieval, and content management.

In the first half of the day Peter Merholz and Maggie Fox address the topic of Web 2.0 as a social media. They will cover the business rational for Web 2.0 development and provide motivation for development in this area. Many case studies will be reviewed. In the second half of the day Mike Atyeo addresses more detailed issues such as designing and testing Web 2.0 applications, particularly highly interactive AJAX applications. The important issue of accessibility will be addressed by Derek Featherstone, an expert in this particular field. The more structured part of the workshop will finish with a panel of our presenters. This will be an opportunity for participants to ask any final questions and for presenters to deliver key take-home messages. Following the panel session, attendees who are interested will then participate in an informal "unconference". This will be an opportunity for attendees to talk some more with the presenters and with each other and unwind. The aim is for all attendees to leave the day with a clearer idea of how social media can benefit their organizations and to know how to make their great ideas become a reality. 182 Canada Web 2.0 is impacting all areas of our interaction from the details of using AJAX widgets, to collective decision-making and organization, privacy, and, especially social networking. 2007-04-13 false http://capchi.org/workshop http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/182 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/182/logo_thehumanweb_sm.gif ajax, canada, chi, derek featherstone, maggie fox, mike atyeo, ottawa, peter merholz, unconference, usability, web 20, workshop Philadelphia USA 2007-04-26 PhillyCHI April Meeting, Wednesday April 25, 2007 Time: 6 – 8 pm * Refreshments served from 6 – 6:30 pm * Location: Berger Auditorium, Skirkanich Hall, University of Pennsylvania 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 Map: http://www.facilities.upenn.edu/mapsBldgs/view_map.php3?id=140 RSVP: phillyCHI@gmail.com “Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about.” – Cory Doctorow How can design address the increasing demand for collaborative work, meaningful conversation and social connection? In this presentation, Andrew will explore how “Community of Practice” is more than just a 90s knowledge-management buzz-phrase. He will argue that it is an important model for understanding group behavior – and one that is becoming crucial to designing in the age of Wikipedia, MySpace and YouTube. Andrew will provide an essential understanding of "communities of practice" and will look at information architecture as a handy example. He will also examine how the concept helps designers in planning for a variety of collaborative environments – from intranets and medical forums to multiplayer games.

Are you tasked with adding more interactivity to your web apps? Do you want to learn interaction design skills geared towards adding interactivity and richness to your web-based solutions? Information spaces on the Web are becoming increasingly filled with complex interactions. Even simple transactional solutions like shopping carts and document management systems are becoming more complex with richer desktop-like interaction models. Today’s web designers and information architects need access to disciplines like interaction design and software design to create powerful and successful web applications. For example: * The developers at a major financial institution are working on a mission-critical application that will be rolled out to more than 6,000 financial consultants, but they have no idea whether a Rich Internet Application (RIA) is the right solution. And if an RIA is the right choice, they’re unsure of what technology to use. * The development team for a hotel reservation system would like to migrate their simple application to an RIA solution. Where should the developers start? How do they avoid making the same mistakes that other developers have already made? To help designers solve these types of problems, expert web application designer David Malouf has created a seminar exploring some of the most important issues surrounding the web’s most sophisticated applications. In this information-packed seminar he will give you a solid introduction to RIAs and demonstrate the value RIAs can add to your web application.

There is a lot of dialogue and research being conducted on folksonomies - also known as social tagging. Is it effective? How can we use folksonomy in the corporate environment? Emma Tonkin from the University of Bath will talk about how research projects in recent years have centered around the analysis and description of user tagging practice and the resulting data sets. She will provide a brief description of their approach towards data collection and analysis of large tag sets, and highlight a few potential uses for a successful model of user tag sets. Laurie Damianos will describe an ongoing technology investigation at MITRE to assess the value and utility of social bookmarking on a corporate intranet. They hypothesize that social bookmarking would be useful in this environment for resource management, information sharing and discovery, expert finding, and social networking. She will discuss features of the prototype system deployed and early analysis of findings on adoption, usage, and social influences.

Web content management software has made it possible for organizations to increase workplace efficiency through collaboration, eliminate unnecessary waste through automation, lower cost of production through process improvements and workflow routing, and, perhaps most importantly, make possible the delivery of relevant content with pinpoint accuracy, increasingly, on demand. When localization and translation enter the equation, these benefits grow exponentially. Where can organizations find the knowledge needed to take advantage of these powerful, paradigm-shifting technologies? The CM Pros Fall 2007 Summit is an excellent starting place. The event will focus on the importance of web content management and the technologies that are quickly turning the web into a platform for the development of business solutions and information services. The Summit will feature presentations, workshops, and roundtable discussions aimed at helping to demystify web content management strategies, tools, standards, and technologies. 257 MA The Fall 2007 CM Pros Summit will be held at the Westin Copley Place, Monday, November 26, 2007 in conjunction with the 4th Annual Gilbane Conference on Content Technologies Boston. 2007-11-26 false http://www.cmprosevents.org http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/257 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/257/CM_Pros_Fall_2007_Summit.jpg cm, content management, interaction, localization, metadata, rss, semantic, usergenerated content, web 20, web content management Vancouver Canada 2008-03-15 Content professionals, from Web to marketing to technical communication professionals, from content management to knowledge management to information management consultants, are searching for new techniques to stay ahead of the curve.

GIS has been around for decades, but is no longer only the realm of specialists. The Web is now flush with geographic data, being harnessed in a usable and searchable format. The right tools to easily create geo content have finally emerged and the outcome is the ability to represent and search the physical world online. Virtual representations of the physical world are becoming more realistic and important. As this happens, their geographic location becomes relevant and the scope becomes larger and problematic. Companies feel the need to have quality data across the globe—inside buildings and out—and are increasingly turning to their users to collect this data. In addition, the wide availability of geo-data has caused maps to become a required component of many online applications, creating a new market for companies like WeoGeo and GeoCommons to aggregate and generate revenue with geo-data and maps online. GIS has been taken to heart by neogeographers, a new breed of developers with increasingly powerful tools built on the back of open standards and free APIs from the likes of Google and Microsoft, and application frameworks like Mapstraction and GeoDjango. Increasingly, the open source GIS stack is supporting the Web, adding a new arrow in the neogeographer's quiver. Geonames, an open-data service, is built from this data web-accessible data. Google has started exposing geo data in a separate index that is growing daily. At the O'Reilly Where 2.0 Conference, we expose the tools pushing the boundaries of the location frontier, track the emergence of new business models and services, and spend time examining new sources of data and the platforms for collecting them. New to Where 2.0 2008 will be a full day of in-depth tutorials on the best and the latest so that participants can return to their projects with new tools in hand. 412 CA The Where 2.0 Conference is where the grassroots and leading edge developers building location aware technology intersect with the businesses and entrepreneurs to gain a competitive edge. 2008-05-12 false http://en.oreilly.com/where2008/public/content/home http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/412 developers, location, maps, web 20 Amsterdam Netherlands 2008-05-23 The Web is in a state of motion: no longer is it primarily being accessed through PCs, but more and more does it find its way into our phones, our cars, on the streets and in buildings.
