Ternyata semua blog wordpress yang didaftarkan dengan API key yang sama semuanya dihitung sebagai blog milik blogger dengan ID wordpress.com dengan API key tersebut, tak peduli di manapun hostingnya. Mau di WP.com maupun WP.org yang dihosting di tempat lain, asalkan API key nya sama. Hal ini bisa baru kusadari setelah menginstall plugin WPstats di blog ketiga, di dashboard WPstats tertera semua blogku yang ketiganya bisa dipantau statusnya dari tempat yang sama. Hal ini kuduga karena syarat menginstall WPstats adalah memasukkan API key dari account wordpress.com.

Setelah dua bulan lebih kutinggalkan (lupa berapa tepatnya, yang pasti sekitar sebulan sebelum Ujian Nasional), blog lamaku itu ternyata masih ada yang mengunjungi. Rata-rata sekitar 30-an pengunjung perhari dan bertambah sekitar 3000 pengunjung (berdasarkan stats WP) dari setelah ditinggalkan sampai sekarang (dua bulan lebih) adalah prestasi yang lumayan, lebih bagus daripada blogku yang sekarang ini. Padahal blog itu sejak posting goodbye for UN, sudah tidak pernah kusentuh lagi!!

Padahal dulu (waktu masih pake blog lama), saya belum ngerti tentang penggunaan tag dan keyword yang 'mengundang'. Saya juga belum ngerti apa itu trekbek, internal links, incoming links, outgoing links, dan semacamnya. Trekbek pun awalnya masih bingung, baru setelah tanya sana sini dan coba-coba di server lokal saya bisa paham. Tapi kenapa stats'nya bisa 'lebih' daripada punya saya yang sekarang? Jawabannya menurutku adalah walaupun tidak menggunakan 'tag' tapi judul-judul entry yang kubuat dulu adalah tipe yang 'mengundang'.

Ini skrinsyut yang kuambil pada tanggal 6 Juli 2008.

Aneh-aneh saja search term di atas.

Tentu si pencari ini sedang mencari informasi penerimaan siswa baru SMKN 2 Bandung. Malang sekali nasibnya harus terjebak ke dalam entry tentang Antivirus SMKN2 Banjarmasin.

nilai penerimaan sma di bjm

Saya kurang tau ke entry mana search term ini larinya. Tapi kuduga ini berhubungan tentang posting-posting lamaku tentang sekolahku sendiri (SMAN 1 Banjarmasin).
Oh iya peringkat blog lamaku di google untuk kata kunci 'SMA', 'Smasa' dan 'Banjarmasin' lebih tinggi dari kebanyakan situs harian pagi lokal bahkan situs resmi sekolah itu sekalipun!! Sepertinya situs milik sekolah memang sangat kurang populer bahkan untuk siswa-siswinya sendiri. Ckckckck... (Teh, awas cicak!!!)

kisah di balik ipdn

Saya tidak ingat pernah menulis tentang IPDN, atau saya yang lupa? Soalnya arsip blog lama sudah terhapus dari komputerku.

kepala

Apa ini??? KONYOL !!! Mungkin rank blogku di google untuk keyword 'KEPALA' memang menempati peringkat atas. Sepertinya saya harus menulis banyak tentang 'kepala' di blog saya ini. Bagaimana memanfaatkan kepala secara maksimal, sejarah kepala, peranan kepala dalam perang, tutorial mengamankan kepala dari hajaran massa, kepala lu peyang, kepala batu. Ada ide untuk entry tentang kepala? :mrgreen:

friendster

FS lagi FS lagi... Saya beberapa kali menulis tentang frendster. Dan kayaknya kata kunci friendster adalah kata kunci yang laris manis di kalangan remaja Endonesia.

curhat seks

Haah?!?!? Tidak, aku tidak pernah menulis tentang seks! Juga tidak pernah ada yang curhat tentang kehidupan seksnya denganku (ambigu)! Oh no!!!

wigas, hacker smasa

Saya tahu siapa orang yang lancang memasukkan keyword ini di mesin pencarinya. Nama Wigas hanya satu-satunya di sepanjang sejarah Smasa Bjm, dan sangat erat kaitannya dengan nama Strife dan Hacker.

Entry Tips-Tips Buat Virus Maker adalah top post yang paling populer (paling banyak dibuka) di blogku yang lama, diikuti entry berjudul Awas Bocor!!! yang bercerita tentang panen password yang dulu sering kulakukan. Sekarang sudah tobat, bener!!!

Parah, blog dengan subdomain strifezone86 lebih diingat daripada freakynote, terutama oleh teman-temanku. Alasannya mungkin karena adanya nama Strife yang memang sudah lengket dengan diriku.

Well, kesimpulannya silakan simpulkan sendiri™ :mrgreen:

Pigeon has obviously been typed in on the mobile phone, and just like MSN Search with Hutch, pigeons arrive instantly. Yes, the pigeons are real and they come to the billboard because there are treats placed on the billboard somewhere for them.

They couldn't use this ad for Vodafone, because my mobile phone internet is flippin slooow.

GUEST BLOG

By: Jason R. Baron

Ralph has given me the honor of filling in for him this week with my report from two fascinating ESI-related forums I had the pleasure to be a part of while in London during the last week of June.  As a charter member of the Ralph Losey e-discovery team fan club, let me say right off the bat that I am delighted to be a guest blogger here; it is certainly my hope that in agreeing to fill in that I have provided Ralph with a much needed July 4 break from his self-imposed, Atlas-like workload, in voluntarily turning out, week in and week out, a year-round e-discovery blog of such unsurpassed quality!

DESI II

On June 25, 2008, the Second International Workshop on Supporting Search and Sensemaking for Electronically Stored Information In Discovery Proceedings (affectionately referred to here as DESI II) was held at University College London, hosted by UCL Interaction Centre, a leading center for research into human-computer interaction. As described on the DESI II workshop main page, the workshop grew out of the first DESI Workshop first DESI Workshop at the ICAIL 2007 conference last June in Palo Alto, where participants from five continents and from multiple research disciplines for the first time gathered together to discuss challenges presented by e-discovery, with a focus on dealing with large collections of electronically stored information (ESI) during litigation and regulatory investigations.

This year, the aim of the second DESI workshop was to bring together legal practitioners, service providers and researchers to develop the research agenda further, to elaborate a European perspective on these issues, and to consider how developments in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence and human computer interaction might be brought to bear on key problems faced in a variety of legal settings in the U.S. and around the globe.

I am so ever grateful to Dr. Simon Attfield Senior Research Fellow at UCL, for agreeing to take on all of the administrative heavy lifting duties for running this year’s workshop, and to Dr. Ann Blandford, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction and Director of the UCL Interaction Centre, for her role in facilitating the hosting of the workshop at UCL. My thanks as well to my colleague Dr. Douglas W. Oard, Associate Dean of Research at the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies (and one of the co-founders of the TREC Legal Track), and to Stephen Mason, a London barrister and Associate Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, whose original invitation to have me speak at his International Conference on Digital Evidence (see below) inspired me to propose holding a second workshop in the first place!

The format of the past two DESI workshops has been truly unique: bring together 40 to 50 expert individuals from a cross-spectrum of disciplines, ranging from information retrieval, artificial intelligence, computer science, linguistics, legal technology, and psychology, and have them interact in a classroom setting for an entire day to discuss the subject of how to go about improving search and information retrieval as practiced in legal settings, including e-discovery. (Imagine inviting Picasso, Freud, and Einstein to a dinner party, and stepping back to see what happens.) Thanks to a format heavily inspired by Doug Oard, the workshops have been highly interactive: for each of two or more panel sessions, speakers are routinely limited to 10 or 15 minute presentations of their submitted papers; a "discussant" comments on the papers that have been presented in each of the panel sessions; and a moderator then encourages audience feedback. At lunch, all participants break into small groups (this year consisting of "language processing," "information retrieval," sensemaking, vendors, and barristers), with group leaders assigned in advance to foster discussion and report back at the end of the day what the consensus views of the group turned out to be.

This year's workshop featured 10 submitted position papers from academics and legal service providers from the U.S., U.K., and Japan (all available on the DESI II workshop page), plus an opening keynote from Jeane A. Thomas, a partner at Crowell & Moring and head of the firm's e-discovery group in their Washington, D.C. offices. Jeane, whom I know well through The SedonaConference® , the Georgetown Advanced E-Discovery Institute, and other forums we have appeared in, graciously accepted an invite to provide an overview of the problems lawyers face in the area of conducting searches. Jeane started off her keynote using almost the same words as I used when I introduced myself to Doug Oard a few years ago, namely: I'm a lawyer, I'm not an expert in technology, and I have problems. Jeane proceeded to summarize the ESI challenge facing lawyers in the U.S. and arguably around the world, namely: an increasing volume and complexity of potential relevant documents and evidence that need to be accounted for; the need for better tools through future advances in technology to adequately carry out the search function; and the fact that technology by itself is not the answer - that lawyers themselves need to think more strategically about how to conduct reasonable discovery. Jeane went on to emphasize the increasingly international dimension to her antitrust and complex litigation practice.

Following Jeane, Doug gave an overview of this year's TREC Legal Track, and I provided some brief remarks updating the audience on the emergence in the past year of U.S. case law recognizing the importance of search and information retrieval in e-discovery, including Judge Facciola's decisions in Disability Rights Council of Greater Washington v. Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority, 242 F.R.D. 139 (D.D.C. 2007), United States v. O'Keefe, 537 F.Supp.2d 14 (D.D.C. 2008), and Judge Grimm's recent decision Victor Stanley, Inc. v. Creative Pipe, Inc., 2008 WL 2221841 (D. Md. May 29, 2008). Also, new in the past year has been publication of The Sedona Conference® Best Practices Commentary on the Use of Search and Information Retrieval Methods in E-Discovery, which was cited in both the O'Keefe and Creative Pipe cases as providing guidance to practitioners in strategically thinking about search issues.

Although I could go on at length about many of the very good papers presented about common search issues of interest, I was particularly struck by the remarks of Bob Bauer from H5, as well as by my workshop co-organizer Simon Attfield, on the relevance of "sensemaking" research to e-discovery. Until these DESI workshops, I frankly had been oblivious to the considerable body of academic research that exists on the subject of "sensemaking," or how that research could be applied in a practical way to the e-discovery process. As Bob Bauer quotes from a recent paper by three Google academics presented in turn at a recent CHI workshop in Florence, "Sensemaking is simple - it's the way people go about their process of collecting, organizing and creating representations of complex information sets, all centered around some problem they need to understand."

The thesis Bob presents thru his jointly authored paper entitled "Automated Legal Sensemaking: The Centrality of Relevance and Intentionality," is straightforward: 15 years of sensemaking research should be brought to bear to establish a minimum acceptable basis for conducting document review involving ESI. In doing so, of paramount importance is recognition of the fact that "[t]here is no substitute for a rigorous characterization of the explicit and tacit goals of the senior litigator," i.e., the person "responsible for developing and fully understanding all nuances of their client's legal strategy." Thus, "[w]hat is required is a system (people, process, and technology) that replicates and automates the senior litigator's human judgment." In Bob's view, "any method that depends primarily on human review fails to transfer properly the requisite knowledge of the senior litigator's sensemaking into a consistent, reproducible document review." His paper goes on to make a fascinating connection with cognitive task research involving intelligence analysts that has been conducted over the past 10 years, where it has been reported that senior and junior analyst behaviors are nearly the opposite of each other, in terms of taking "bottom up" or "top down" approaches to hypothesis building, and where

[t]he crucial insight based on sensemaking research is that in [ ] e-Discovery, senior litigators are NOT reviewing the literal content of text (i.e., bottom-up), but rather the overarching aspects of the situation and the author's intent (i.e., top-down). (capitalization as in original). 

The bottom line, paraphrasing Bob’s paper: future advances in efficiently performing document review must replicate the sensemaking of senior litigators as a top-down, automated process of searching for and encoding case-topic-specific questions, and that any scalable e-discovery process must establish explicit criteria for determining “relevance” as viewed through the lens of the senior litigator, while at the same time taking into account the multiplicity of communities that the original authors of documents work in, with all of the idiosyncrasies of language and linguistic terminology used by those authors. One last thing: “execution of the sensemaking approach,” in Bob’s view, also involves “rigorous measurement and statistically valid, in-process quality control.”

In a similar vein, Simon Attfield’s co-authored paper with Ann Blandford, entitled “E-discovery viewed as integrated human-computer sensemaking: the challenge of ‘frames’" reports on the results of an interview field study with lawyers working on a large regulatory investigation in the U.K., with the purpose of extrapolating from that study how further research into better understanding “evidence review and analysis in e-discovery” could be conducted. In particular, the authors introduce the notion of making sense of information through the application of particular types of “frames,” which in the e-discovery context would mean how lawyers go about choosing to aggregate documents with the aim of determining relevance, how decisions with respect to relevance are cued, and how decisions are in turn elaborated upon and validated. Simon’s paper states his belief that the Enron collection (a publicly available data set of email and other documents) is a candidate data set for further research into the sensemaking activities of lawyers, and I welcome his further research. The results of such a research program might yet find its way to being incorporated in “checklists” covering how relevance determinations are to be optimized in future complex document reviews.

I took away from the workshop the palpable sense that the information retrieval researcher crowd, represented by Mark Sanderson, a Reader at the University of Sheffield, Iab Ruthven, a Reader at the University of Strathclyde, Yunhyong Kim, a researcher at the University of Glasgow, and Mounia Lalmas, Professor at Queen Mary, University of London, were collectively intrigued by the practical problems lawyers (and barristers and solicitors) all face in this area, especially in light of the fact, as Mark Sanderson suggested in his remarks, it isn’t every day that IR researchers actually talk to the users of their information retrieval software designs. It might be too much to wish for, but a research project of a parallel nature to the TREC legal track in the U.S. might be something that a European-based grant-making agency would be interested in.

From the U.K., I wish to thank in particular Reza Alexander, Litigation & Practice Support Manager at DLA Piper UK for his fine introductory remarks, and Chris Dale of The e-Disclosure Information Project, for his presentation on “CaseMap issue linking in UK civil proceedings,” as well as favoring us with the attendance of His Honour Judge Simon Brown, a Designated Mercantile Judge, who together were appearing at still another e-discovery conference that day in London. I also wish to thank Jacki O’Neill of Xerox Research Centre Europe and Ian Black of Autonomy Group in the U.K. for their papers and remarks. Getting the award for traveling the furthest distance was Professor Frank Bennett, Jr., of the Faculty of Law at Nagoya University in Japan, who spoke on unique OCR search issues when faced with reconstructing financial statements in Japanese.

Lastly, from the U.S. we were blessed to have with us an expert contingent of lawyers, academics and technologists giving short talks and comments, including Craig Carpenter, Recommind, Kelly (KJ) Kutcha, Forensics Consulting Solutions, Carsten Gorg, Georgia Institute of Technology, David Chaplin, Kroll Ontrack, and Chris May, IE Discovery.

From the views of the participants and audience at the workshop, the workshop was successful in achieving the goal of raising awareness of the separate “island universes” represented by academics and lawyers on the matter of improving searches conducted in e-discovery. From the early returns, it would seem that interest remains high in holding a DESI III somewhere in the world next year. Possible choices include would-be organizers putting in a proposal for a workshop to be held as part of ICAIL 2009 in Barcelona next June. Readers of this column interested in participating in a future DESI III (or just interested in any excuse to go to an e-discovery related event in Barcelona) should certainly feel free to contact me at jason.baron@nara.gov.

MIS International Conference on Digital Evidence

I wish to also briefly report on the follow-on International Conference on Digital Evidence, held over two days on June 26-27, 2008 at historic Vintners’ Hall in London. Billed by MIS as “The First Conference to Treat Digital Evidence on a Global Platform,” I can say that the conference lived up to its name, and that it was well worth attending. The opening speech and chairman’s introduction was given by the above-mentioned Stephen Mason, who among many published works is the author of Electronic Signatures in Law (Tottel, 2d ed, 2007) and International Electronic Evidence (British Institute of International and Comparative Law, 2008) as well as general editor of the Digital Evidence and Electronic Signature Law Review (among other publications).

The MIS conference featured a remarkably broad panoply of speakers from around the world, discussing how their respective legal systems and cultures deal with problems of digital evidence. My own modest role at this conference was limited to giving a 30 minute talk on search and information retrieval issues from a U.S. perspective, including findings from the first two years of the TREC Legal Track, as part of a panel chaired by Iain G. Mitchell, QC.

I can’t possibly give justice here to the two dozen or so presentations given at the conference, so I wish to just limit my observations here to a truly remarkable pair of panel presentations that took place on the afternoon of Day 1, involving Senior Master Steven Whitaker, of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, Queen’s Bench Division, Royal Courts of Justice & the Queen’s Remembrancer, and Judge Francis M. Allegra of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. Judge Allegra has penned several e-discovery cases of note, including United Medical Supply Co., Inc. v. United States, 77 Fed. Cl. 257 (Fed. Cl. 2007).

Let me set out the following remarks from one of the judges, and I invite the readership here to guess which judge made these statements:

Virtually every case we’re seeing involves electronic data of some form.
E-discovery decisions are generally of an interlocutory nature and therefore do not work their way into reported opinions, especially at the appellate level.
There is little or no training of judges with respect to ESI issues.
Digital voice recordings are becoming an evidentiary concern.
Judges should encourage litigants to meet and confer regarding ESI issues, and to cooperate on issues including with respect to determining what custodians hold ESI of importance to the case, what time frames should be used to limit searches for evidence, what types of documents and storage formats exist, and in general what search methods are to be used.
Search issues, including what keywords to use, are not always adequately handled by lawyers.
Judges should review e-discovery issues with proportionality and fairness principally in mind – smaller cases do not merit huge expenditures of time and effort in terms of the fanciest automated methodologies being utilized or required.

If you guessed the American judge said the above remarks, you would be wrong! While Judge Allegra gave a very fine talk describing the U.S. perspective on all of the above matters, the eye-opening remarks by Senior Master Whitaker cemented my already considerably developed bias from the DESI II workshop that the problems of ESI are now global in dimension, and that judges and lawyers everywhere – or at least, by this example, in the U.K. as well as the U.S. – find themselves essentially together, all in the same soup. We are all struggling to find reasonable ways in dealing with increasing volumes of complex ESI.

I found one additional aspect of Senior Master Whitaker’s remarks to be particularly intriguing, where he de-emphasized the importance of the finding of mere “relevance” in terms of producing documents to an opposing side as the result of a document review, while emphasizing instead the view that under Part 31 of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) in the U.K., parties should be concentrating on self-identifying those specific documents of importance to the case at hand (either favoring their position or not), and turning those over to the other side. In other words, in a world brimming with millions of potentially relevant documents, why not cooperate with the other side (or have judges force such collaboration) in producing – at least first and foremost – only those documents of obvious materiality to the issues involved in a specific action? I now see that Chris Dale has written at considerable length on this topic as well.

So let me pose here the obvious question to a U.S. audience: would there be a benefit to affecting a revision to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, so as to expand upon the existing set of “initial disclosure” rules and meet and confer requirements to require (or allow) parties to concentrate their efforts in developing a search protocol aimed at finding the most specific, core, material documents that will be at issue in litigation – rather than engaging in the practice of massive “data dumps” of merely potentially relevant evidence? I am sure this would be viewed by some to be controversial. But the reality of ESI over the coming decades makes this seem imperative to me. We are facing billions (if not trillions) of potentially relevant files, yet as human beings trying cases we can only use a minuscule fraction of that potential relevant evidence during depositions and at trial. Why not then focus our principal aim in making reasonable efforts to find the truly “hot” documents of a material nature, rather than having our rules be written in terms of seeking out the merely “relevant” (or the even larger universe under FRE 403 of documents that might themselves not be relevant but would lead to the admission of relevant evidence).

I pose this merely as food for thought coming out of the London conference, and will of course expect that Ralph and others will have something more to say on this topic in some future column. But it remains an intriguing thought: perhaps on this Fourth of July weekend, maybe British barristers and judges have something to teach us in America about how to go about procedural reform aimed at cutting down to size the enormous and ever increasing ESI/digital evidence problem.

So without further delay, The inaugural Digital Round-up for June 2008...

Google Applying Cookie Data: Despite the cries of privacy advocates, this can be a major breakthrough in online advertising. A few years ago Google changed its privacy policy to state that they might eventually use cookie data to "display customized content and advertising." Apparently a securities analyst has discovered that they are indeed doing so, and this was confirmed by Google. Well, I certainly hope so!

I am waiting for the true integration of Google and Doubleclick units, and although this will present a fine privacy line as it relates to the personally identifiable data that Google does indeed have via Gmail etc, there should be an easy way of firewalling that data if need be. We live in a data driven world folks. This is the future of content and marketing distribution. Creating increased relevancy for the consumer is a good thing. I have posted many thoughts on this matter, and I expect that we will get past the perceived privacy issues as we have with every other aspect of digital marketing to date. Doubleclick has been the martyr of at least one round of this issue in the past. Relevancy is a benefit, I wish we could all just get over it and move on.

Microsoft Acquires Semantic Search Technology: After the failed attempt at acquiring Yahoo, Microsoft last week announced the acquisition of semantic search company Powerset. Of course this was in the works for a long time , but the timing of the announcement was classic. Does Microsoft + Powerset = a threat to Google? Not in a million years. The momentum of Google's stronghold on search is going to be tough to beat, or even compete with, as Yahoo and Microsoft have both learned the hard way to date. But the advances in semantic technology will in theory make for better search experiences over time, and this is Microsoft's first step in the direction of developing a new search mouse mouse trap, or least improving the existing one. I've reported previously about Yahoo adopting semantic web standards, and have predicted that the application of semantic technology will fuel the next evolution of the web itself. In the increasingly data driven world we live in, I fiercely stand by that prediction.

Nokia Acquires Remaining Part of Symbian: It's no secret that consumers' and marketers' dependence on the carriers for on-deck mobile opportunities will change over the next few years. Nokia has been making headway in the mobile advertising space, and the acquisition of Symbian should prove to be part of paving the road to the golden goose. Symbian currently runs on over half of the smart phones in the global market. However, with Apple's iPhone and the soon-to-be-rolled-out open platform "Android" from Google, Symbian's market share can be eroded quite easily. By standardizing an open platform, Nokia should be able to entice additional development and remain a major player in the mobile OS world.

More Print Shift To The Web: The LA Times slashed 250 jobs last week, the findings - consumers don't have the time to read the paper anymore. Editor Russ Stanton stated that "The Web and print departments will be merged into one operation with a single budget, and the company will also refocus on being more versatile. We've heard these sentiments before, and we'll here them again from others.

Average TV Network Viewer Age = 50 Years Old: Of course this varies from network to network (CW median age is only 34), but the trend shows that TV viewing audiences are getting older as media continues to fragment. It's a brave new world out there, and as digital media consumption increases, we need to solve some of the basic issues that have plagued our industry since the dawn of online marketing history, including establishing more industry level research and data on the correlation of various aspects of advertising as it relates to effectiveness, as well as educating marketers about digital measurement in general. It still boggles my mind how many marketers (and agencies for that matter) mis-align their KPI's (key performance indicators) with their objectives, or chose to use irrelevant metrics like CTR. There's a lot of experimentation happening with emerging media, and most have not mastered the basics yet. A year has past since I published an article in MediaPost on this very subject, and on an industry level I haven;'tseen  or heard of much change.

MySpace & Facebook - Battle of The Redesigns: Facebook is quickly catching up to MySpace's market dominance, in part due to the open platform for developers and the streamlined nature of the profile design and application of the social graph. With Facebook's upcoming redesign,  applications will be moving to a separate tab, and the news feed will become even more prominent than it is currently. This is a big change amid marketers'  experimentation revolving primarily around launching applications and subsequntly trying to foster participation.  Meanwhile MySpace rolled out a redesign a few weeks ago, which was primarily focused on streamlining the chaotic mess of  a structure that was once consumer profiles. Cleaner navigation and increased applications of the social graph has been Facebook's strong point. and MySpace's achilles heel. MySpace had no choice but to update., and 'they done good'. Even though they are a leader today, there always exists the chance of  MySpace getting displaced as we have seen with other social networks like Friendster.

Publicis Consolidates and Creates Vivaki: Next in the big agencies to announce the consolidation of digital assets is Publicis. WPP and Carat have already sone so in varying capacities, and inevitably all the others will follow suit soon enough.  Note to David Kenny & Jack Klues: the first step to proving that Vivaki is the right digital solution is following best practices. That 10 second flash intro on the new Vivaki website needs to go! Rishad, same to you buddy on the Denuo site.

This is a topic near and dear to my heart, and I often write about the morphing agency structure. The fragmentation of media and the shift to a data driven marketplace has created a shift of general marketing strategy from the creative agencies to that of the media agencies. Many of the holding companies have even developed units that specifically specialize in the development and stewardship of strategy. We will continue to see re-bundling of agency services, although to a degree the specialist is needed more than ever . Agencies must attract and recruit specialized individuals to ensure the proficient execution across an ever growing palette of channels. We have seen many senior digital agency execs moving to the client and publisher side as an additional trend lately. Integration of services to offer a big picture approach while maintaining proficiency in the specialties will be the new agency positioning.

Social Media As A Formal Discipline?: As the opportunity cost of not monitoring the conversations and interactions surrounding your brands and products increases, the role of full time Social Media Strategists and Community Managers  have crept into recent rounds of recruitment for marketers and agencies alike. The required commitment to the social media ecosystem has made it apparent that the attention of at least one full time staffer on the agency or client side is going to be a requirement at some point for all brands.  Although brands can have their agencies assign a full time person assigned to their brand (today there are many specialized and integrated agencies who offer social marketing services), there is an economic reality that brands may be best served in this manner internally, with support from agencies for specific tasks and projects. It's far too early to tell, but if I were a major brand I'd be looking for  an internal manager at this point. The costs of the monitoring tools are coming down and the players are becoming more diverse. The social media ecosystem is evolving before our eyes, it's a lot to keep up with. Brands must commit to be committed - hire a social media manager or at least an agency that can help you wrap your arms around what's happening in social media and what it means to your brand.

In our digital era shooting and editing digital photos is part of our daily life. Unfortunately we rarely keep a well organized database. We copy images to temporary locations in different formats that we needed at certain points of our work and forget to delete them. Searching for a photograph by its content was an impossible task for a computer so soon we are going out of storage. In such situations what comes extremely handy is a product developed by MindGems Inc.

I am going to introduce you here - Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder. Though a bit long, the name of the product describes it perfectly well. The product will find similar images regardless of the file name, format, image size and bit depth. Image processing is a heavy task and the performance achieved by this application is incredible. It manages to scan thousands of images in few minutes. I got also some information from the company about a new feature that will be available in the upcoming version. A photo search option. It will let you search for images by a sample. You will no longer have to search for your wedding photos. Do you remember that photo you mailed to John? Just load it in Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder and it will find the rest of the images for you. A very nice feature that will let you find the rest of the images from the set by loading a single sample.

Many professionals and also advanced photographers take images in RAW format. The quality of the RAW images is much better compared to JPEG, but the drawback is the size and the fact that very small amount of products supports it. The good news here is that Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder will provide also a RAW support soon for all the popular camera brands available on the market.

I must admit also the vast variety of image formats that it supports. Here is a complete list:

• JPEG Bitmap (*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.jpe)
• Compuserve Bitmap (*.gif)
• Portable Network Graphics (*.png)
• TIFF Bitmap (*.tif;*.tiff;*.fax;*.g3n;*.g3f)
• JPEG2000 Files (*.jp2)
• JPEG2000 Code Stream (*.j2k;*.jpc;*.j2c)
• Targa (*.tga;*.targa;*.vda;*.icb;*.vst;*.pix)
• Paintbrush (*.pcx)
• Windows Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle)
• Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
• Enhanced Windows Metafile (*.emf)
• Windows Icon (*.ico)
• Windows Cursor (*.cur)
• Wireless Bitmap (*.wbmp)
• Portable Pixmap (*.pxm;*.ppm)
• Adobe Photoshop (*.psd)

You can download a fully functional demo at the company web site - Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder.

The new software is required only to index Flash files, not to play them, says Justin Everett-Church, senior product manager for Adobe Flash Player. Web surfers don't need to download a new Flash player, and content providers don't have to change the way they write applications. "For end users, they're going to see a lot more results and a lot better results," says Everett-Church. "The perfect result may have been out there but trapped in a SWF [Shockwave Flash file]. But now they can find it."

Currently, Google indexes nearly 71 million Flash files on the Internet (this number can be acquired by searching "filetype:swf"). These files have, to a limited degree, always been searchable. Before Adobe's announcement, search engines were able to look at a Flash file and extract static text and links from it. But they couldn't tell where on the Flash site the text fell--on the main page, for instance, or deep within the site--which made it difficult to evaluate its importance. Search engines would also miss moving text inside animations.

Adobe gave Google and Yahoo new Flash player technology that works in conjunction with the "spiders" that search engines use to index Web pages. (Microsoft, which has developed its own competitor to Flash, called Silverlight, is not publicly involved in Adobe's initiative.) Spiders are autonomous programs that browse through the Web in a systematic fashion. Adobe's new player allows these spiders to load Flash files, read the text and links, and click any buttons or tabs. This allows the spider to make inferences about the context in which a word or link occurs--something it couldn't do before.

The LibX Murdoch University Toolbar is a Firefox Browser extension that lets you search the library holdings straight from a toolbar in your browser.

It also embeds little symbols next to the titles of books and journal articles in pages you view on the web. Clicking on these symbols lets you check whether the library has it.

This is awesome and a cool Web 2.0 enhancement for libraries. Enjoy!

Merge your Firefox location bar and quick search box into one powerful, customized location bar (sometimes called the "awesome bar" in Firefox 3).

Firefox allows users to create and perform highly tailored keyword searches from the address/location bar (no, not the search engine box in the top right, but the location bar containing "http://...").  I prefer to use just the location bar, since I get a little distracted with too many text boxes.  With a little effort, you can consolidate search and location entry.

Higher Web Productivity

The "awesome bar" will allow you to zip through the web using personal keyboards.  Just jump to the location bar, type in a location or any number of quick searches you add (see below), and you may be impressed just how quickly you can pull up on-demand info using this approach.  Teach your fingers at least one shortcut to get to the location bar; the following keyboard shortcuts will work (within Firefox):

• F6
• Ctrl/Cmd+L
• Alt+D
• Ctrl/Cmd+T, which opens a new tab and places your cursor at the location bar
• (See Lifehacker for more Firefox keyboard shortcuts.)

Remove the Search Engine Box

The first thing I do to simplify my browsing experience in Firefox is get rid of the search engine box next to the location bar, so that I can focus on my own searches which use the location bar.  To remove it, right-click on the menu bar, click "Customize ...," then drag the search engine box into the newly opened window.

Import Useful Quick Searches

I used a Lifehacker post (Geek to Live: Fifteen Firefox Quick Searches) to help get me started.  I tailored it to my taste; you should do the same.  You can check out the Lifehacker post for their version, or continue here with my version.  Open the target bookmark files in your browser to see the difference.

1. Right-click on the link (here) my quick search bookmarks file, choose "Save Link As...," and make a note of where you save the file on your computer.
2. Go to the Firefox Bookmarks menu, and choose "Organize Bookmarks..." or "Manage Bookmarks..." (depending on your version of Firefox).
3. From the Library or Bookmarks Manager menu, choose import from either the "Import and Backup" menu or the file menu (depending on your version).  Import the HTML file you saved in step 1.  You can safely delete this file after import.

Note that if you already have keyword searches defined, you may need to check that no two bookmarks expect the same keyword; this may cause conflict.

Quick Google Searches

By default, Firefox performs a Google search if you type into the location bar terms which are not possible web locations (e.g. "example.com") and do not match your keyword searches (e.g. "lh firefox").  You can rely on that, but you will get more consistent results if you explicitly define a Google quick search with a keyword (I use "go" or "google").

Easily Add Any Search

You can easily expand your keyword searching while you browse the web.  Whenever you see a search box on a web page,

• right-click within the search box, select "Add a Keyword for this Search ..."
• add a name and a keyword
• designate the "Create in" folder to be Quick Searches -> Personal or your favorite folder for personal quick searches.
• (See Mozilla's explanation for more details.)

Here I will be giving you information on viral videos, so first thing, you might ask what exactly viral videos are?

Basically a viral video refers to a video clip that gains widespread popularity through the process of internet sharing. This happens typically through email and IM messages, blogs, and other media sharing websites. Viral videos are typically humor videos and normally include televised sketches of Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday, as well as unintentional release of amateur videos such as Star War Kids and Numa Numa song.

If you do hope to be “viral” don't hide behind a proxy or surrogate and pretend as though you had nothing to do with the promotion of your video because when people find out the truth, which they always do, the backlash will be worse than having admitted it up front.

Remember to accept other people's stuff. Just think if you have a huge fan of your products or services who has “endorsed” your company with a video that portrays you in a good light. And lets just suppose that the video is not the type of material suitable for PG audiences on prime tv.....Do you just run away from it? That probably would not be the best choice to make. Just look how the Coca-Cola Company and Mentos thing. That hurt them majorally. If they wouldn't have waited three months to acknowledge that the press was good for Diet Coke, they might have got some mileage out of it.

Now let's suppose someone has created a hilarious viral video at your expense and it has been seen on YouTube 3 million times in the last 24 hours. What do you do? You definitely shouldn't demand YouTube to take it down...The best thing to do is get on the comments section and start to do damage control!
Address the issues brought up in the video
Be light-hearted
Assure the creators that you understand their concerns
Promise to rectify the situation
Turn it around and sponsor a contest

Also keep in mind that viral videos will eventually pass. You will have some cleaning up to do, but the memory of the offending piece won't be with the public for very long. I hope this information on viral videos helps everyone out.

What is I-Newswire.com?

I-Newswire is press release aggregator. Simply put they allow you to write a press release on almost any subject, submit your release to their network, and then push your message out to a vast network of media websites around the globe

Note: A good press release IS NOT a sales pitch for you, a listing of a property, or something that sounds like a self serving message. Like the blogoshpere, the tone of a press release needs to be valuable, informative, relevant

What Are The Benefits?

1. I-Newswire.com: press releases are seen on hundreds of news websites such as PressRadar.com.

According to I-Newswire.com:

"We are not able to track the exact reach because most of the outlets obtain our releases automatically using our XML feed at http://www.i-newswire.com/xml.php. In addition, your press release is hosted as a webpage on our site, and will be indexed by search engines such as Google and Yahoo, giving you additional exposure.

2. Journalist and Editors: these are the people who visit I-Newswire on a daily basis looking for newsworthy information.

3. Exposure: I-newswire.com has an Alexa.com ranking of 72,434 worldwide. Similarly ranked sites have in excess of 3,000 visitors per day and 20,000 pages views per week--that's power

4. Press Release Writers: a best of breed listing of press release writers are available if you are not confident in your ability to produce your own. To acces this go to data bank pr-firms on the site

Strategy

This strategy is all about bringing readers to your website or blog. One of the best methods to bring fresh new readership is to make news yourself, report breaking news, or report breaking news (news that happened within a day or two) with your analysis and solution

Example Scenario

You are a realtor specializing in foreclosures. Your area is full of foreclosures and a Nationally syndicated news agencies writes a story on the state of foreclosures and investors waiting in the wings.

1. Take this article and make an aggressive headline announcement. Ex- "Foreclosure Market Saving Realtor Jobs."

2. Write a short succinct few sentences about the core message of the media article

3. Use your succinct few sentences on the media article as the lead-in to how Realtor jobs are being saved by the added business that investors represent in your market

4. Offer a free pdf or podcast that provides a market report for your city or region's foreclosure market and describe your free giveaway as a tool for investors or Realtors from other regions

5. Point readers to your website or blog in order to receive their free pdf or podcast "bonus"

Analysis

Small business owners are discovering that they can write multiple press releases about current events that relate to their niche or speciality. They then can leverage their knowledge, free information, or bonus as a method to give readers added value while bringing awareness to their website-blog.

Google appears to be on a search for the holy grail of child care, and even after charging parents for the service Google wound up subsidizing things to the tune of 37,000 *per child per year* - managing to spend the approximate average national income on every kid lucky enough to reach the nirvanesque kinderplex environment. The solution to this negative cash flow - unusual for the company known for showering employees with benefits like laundry service and free meals - was to raise the child care rates to about 2500 per month per child.

The NYT reports that two kids in Google childcare will run you $57,000. Although Googlers take home an average of something like $140,000 per year this isn't going to ruin them, but this sure ain't a page from the Brady Bunch days.

The situation is interesting economically but I think even more interesting as an experiment in Google's approach to social engineering, which I think argue may be failing because it may not be able to scale in the same fashion as many of Google's magnificent technological innovations.

Although Silicon Valley employees have historically enjoyed some great benefits, Google shined as the company that outdid everybody with free gourmet meals, free laundry, and great parties all within a context of individual freedom to work pretty much as you pleased as long as you were productively engaged, and even that was defined in some part by the employee.

This approach seemed to be working well, but I wonder how much of this was just an illusion caused by Google's huge wash of incoming cash. The NYT article suggests that the company hardly even noticed the child care subsidy until recently. I'm guessing that only recently have the Google bean counters been called up from their free lunch to sharpen their pencils and find ways for Google to trim the company budget.

There are obviously two huge human resource pressures on Google now as it grows within the context of providing the world's best company bennies. First is the fact that the legions of Googlers are for the most part...kidless. As employees age, especially the key folks from the early days, Google will see a lot more departures of key folks and a lot more demands for family time and benefits. Even stronger will be the pressure from the growing number of employees in Google's empire, far more of whom are likely to be "in it for the money and perks" than in the early days. I remember touring the Googleplex a few years ago with an exec who, when asked about this problem, said it was not happening. But I think that was about 10,000 employees ago and before the level of concern over Google's KinderGate scandal.

I will be very interesting to see if Google can scale their sometimes pesky human resources as effectively as they have scaled their technological and commercial resources.

I'm guessing...make that strongly predicting....the answer is no.

New York Times Reports

This spring and summer has brought natural disasters and more rain than we know what to do with. The mind first focuses on the rain and thinks of all of the other things much more fun and erotic we could be focusing on.

We love taking photographs and we find our portfolio is lacking an Asian transgender. So we search and search for the perfect look that we want to capture. If she isn’t too shy we may be lucky enough to get her to let us post it on our website.

The NYC Pride parade provided much inspiration for this but the storm and the rain made many of us run for cover, thus ruining our chances of capturing some of the best of the best.

So is there any Asian trannies out there reading this post and in need of a few new photographs? If so, we have a special deal for you.

‘AdSense for Search’ is how Google includes search engine bit into the Google AdSense program. ‘AdSense for Search’ can actually be termed as a sibling of Google AdSense program and is one great way of increasing website revenue for website owners. To implement ‘AdSense for search’, you just have to include the Google search box on your website. Again, Google offers the code that you need to use for including Google search box. You just have to paste the code at whatever place you deem as the most appropriate place for Google search box.

When your website visitors use Google search bar on your website, they get almost the same results as they would by using Google separately through Google.com. When these website visitors click the search results, the website owner earns revenue (CPC revenue). You can even include AdSense Ads on the search results page and earn CPM or CPC revenue from them. Also, you can customize the search results page to suit your website’s theme. So, Google AdSense for search is one great way of making money just by including the Google search bar on your website. Besides that, the visitors to your website get an additional functionality through your website i.e. the facility to search the web using one of the most powerful search engine (without leaving your website).

‘AdSense for search’ is a great way of earning revenue through your website (and, in fact, one of the easiest ways too). A number of website owner actually use both the ‘AdSense for Search’ and the regular ‘AdSense for content’ in order to maximize their revenue.
