Lifelogging : badges sociométriques
Par Hubert Guillaud le 30/01/08 | 4 commentaires | 7,682 lectures | Impression Le groupe des Dynamiques humaines du MIT, dirigé par le professeur Alex Pentland, a mis au point des badges sociométriques qui mettent à nu nos interactions sociales. Les badges se reconnaissent les uns les autres, enregistrent nos mouvements et nos paroles. Les badges servent à révéler les “organisations sensibles”, c’est-à-dire comprendre comment la technologie en mesurant les interactions humaines peut servir à mieux comprendre et réinventer le management dans les organisations, explique Daniel Olguin, l’un des chercheurs attaché au projet.

Réseaux sociaux : la surveillance des employés explose
Selon le Gartner, le nombre d'entreprises surveillant l'utilisation des réseaux sociaux en interne va être multiplié par six d'ici trois ans. De nombreux outils devraient émerger pour répondre à ce nouveau besoin. En 2015, selon le Gartner, trois entreprises sur cinq vont surveiller ce que font leurs employés sur les réseaux sociaux. L'analyste du Gartner qui signe le rapport, Andrew Walls, souligne cependant les problèmes de respect de la vie privée que peuvent poser de tels outils. Le Gartner s'attend cependant à ce que de nombreux produits émergent sur ce marché de la surveillance de l'usage des réseaux sociaux.
Who Has Your Back? 2013
Contents: Download Report Download the complete Who Has Your Back? 2013 report as a PDF. Executive Summary When you use the Internet, you entrust your conversations, thoughts, experiences, locations, photos, and more to companies like Google, AT&T and Facebook. In this annual report, the Electronic Frontier Foundation examined the policies of major Internet companies — including ISPs, email providers, cloud storage providers, location-based services, blogging platforms, and social networking sites — to assess whether they publicly commit to standing with users when the government seeks access to user data. We compiled the information in this report by examining each company’s published terms of service, privacy policy, transparency report, and guidelines for law enforcement requests, if any. Evaluation Criteria This year, we evaluated companies on six criteria. This year, we divided the “Transparency” category from previous reports into two separate categories.

Digital Staffing: The Future of Recruitment-by-Algorithm - Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic | 9:00 AM October 26, 2012 Americans are now spending more time on social networking sites than on all other sites combined. Facebook alone has more than 1 billion users — that’s 15% of the world’s population and almost 50% of internet users, and they spend an average 15 minutes a day on the site. And that’s just one site; imagine if you added in Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Weibo, Renren, Orkut, and on down the list. As a consequence of spending so much time online, we now leave traces of our personality everywhere. First, the web makes recruiting easier for employers and would-be employees. Second, the web makes recruiting less biased and less clubby. Third, web analytics can help recruiters become more efficient. The big implication is that you need to invest a considerable amount of time managing your digital reputation. We will soon witness the proliferation of machine learning systems that automatically match candidates to specific jobs and organizations.
Why Aren't College Students Using LinkedIn To Find Jobs?
The jobless numbers in the U.S. remain an ongoing concern throughout the country. For college students and recent graduates, often dubbed "millennials," the numbers are even worse. More than half of recent graduates are either unemployed or underemployed. This seems like a wasted opportunity - for both students and LinkedIn. I spoke to Dan Schawbel, founder of Millennial Branding, about the recent survey his firm conducted with AfterCollege. I believe that the LinkedIn numbers are low because students aren't thinking about networking until after they graduate and don't feel like they have enough contacts to add to their profiles since many don't have real work experience yet. The students who focus on networking starting freshman year are at a great advantage because everyone knows that relationships lead to jobs. Students Need Guidance Students are certainly experienced with social media, just not with LinkedIn. Colleges can do more to help. The University Perspective A Student Perspective
