Follow him @ashkan. “I thought the analysis of content vs other video companies very convincing. But I’m curious: the content game hasn’t worked out so well for AOL and Yahoo. Infrastructure, Platforms & Content Today, the Web’s infrastructure is built, and we’re filling the pipes with content — mainly free, ad-supported content. It might seem like the real opportunities are in user-generated content and aggregation, but anyone who’s worked in those fields recognize their limitations: Simply put, marketers want to advertise alongside professional content. Content is marketing; Marketing as content Content – video in particular – may be promotional or commercial, in either case it’s a means to an end. Content isn’t only increasingly free, it’s also short. The Economics of Content My company does it for $100/minute. “But content doesn’t scale!”
Principe de Peter: la promotion attire l'incompétence Le principe de Peter fait le postulat suivant : le fait qu’un travailleur mérite une promotion ne signifie pas pour autant qu’il soit préparé à la recevoir ou que la promotion soit l’option la plus bénéfique pour l’individu ou l’entreprise. Selon cette théorie, de nombreuses promotions sont en réalité synonyme de retour en arrière. Parfois, le travailleur ne dispose pas des ressources nécessaires pour surmonter les défis avec succès. Il associe également souvent la gestion du challenge à de hauts niveaux d’angoisse. Ce principe a été énoncé il y a déjà plus de 60 ans et il est encore d’actualité. Eux-mêmes ne pouvaient certainement pas deviner l’impact qu’allait avoir leur travail. Le message que les docteurs Peter et Hull ont souhaité transmettre était plus sérieux que le ton qu’ils ont employé pour le diffuser. « Avec le temps, chaque poste est généralement occupé par un employé incompétent dans ses fonctions. En quoi consiste le principe de Peter ? Mieux attribuer les promotions.
Folksonomies - Cooperative Classification and Communication Through Shared Metadata The Creation of Metadata: Professionals, Content Creators, Users Metadata is often characterized as “data about data.” Metadata is information, often highly structured, about documents, books, articles, photographs, or other items that is designed to support specific functions. These functions are usually to facilitate some organization and access of information. Traditionally metadata is created by dedicated professionals. While professionally created metadata are often considered of high quality, it is costly in terms of time and effort to produce. User created metadata is a third approach, and this paper focuses on grassroots community classification of digital assets. One form of explicit user created metadata was popularized in the late 1990’s with link-focused websites called weblogs (Blood 2000). Tagging Content in Del.icio.us and Flickr Del.icio.us ( henceforth referred to as “Delicious”) is a tool to organize web pages. “a social bookmarks manager. Ambiguity
Loi de Parkinson: Plus on a le temps, plus on en prend Lorsque l’on se penche de plus près sur le monde du travail, on remarque que différentes lois peuvent s’appliquer, en particulier lorsque l’on parle d’organisation et de gestion du temps. Parmi elles, on retrouve la loi de Parkinson qui se caractérise parfaitement par le phrase « Plus on a le temps pour réaliser une tâche, plus cette tâche prend du temps ». Afin de vous aider à comprendre ce phénomène, nous vous proposons d’en apprendre un peu plus à ce sujet. La loi de Parkinson, qu’est-ce que c’est ? Ce concept est particulièrement connu dans le monde de l’entreprise et vient poser quelques questions sur les principes de base de l’efficacité. Concrètement, cela se traduit par le fait suivant : si vous avez prévu une heure pour réaliser une tâche, cette dernière vous en prendra une ; si vous avez prévu deux heures pour la réaliser, elle vous en prendra deux. Comment faire pour pallier efficacement à ce problème ? A lire également : La gestion du stress de l'Office Manager

Qu’est-ce que le Bore-Out ? Traiter de l’ennui au travail peut paraître absurde au vu de la conjoncture actuelle et du nombre de personnes souffrant d’épuisement professionnel. Or, ce syndrome tout aussi grave toucherait 10% des salariés en Suisse. Le syndrome du bore-out a été décrit pour la première fois en 2007 par deux auteurs suisses, Peter Werder et Philippe Rothlin, dans leur étude « Diagnose Bore-out ». Il désigne un épuisement professionnel induit non pas par le stress, mais par l’absence de tâches signifiantes et caractérisé par l’ennui, l’absence de défis et le désintérêt. Il leur manque simplement l’environnement de travail adéquat pour y parvenir, que ce soit en raison d’un choix professionnel inadapté ou des conditions de travail inappropriées (par exemple, un supérieur hiérarchique qui ne confie que des tâches ennuyeuses). Que faire en tant qu’employeur pour prévenir le bore-out ? En tant qu’employeur, vous pouvez agir à différents niveaux pour prévenir le bore-out dans votre entreprise :

Background I have been a fan of ad hoc labeling and tagging systems since at least the late 1980s after watching a co-worker work his magic with Lotus Magellan (he would add his own ad hoc keywords or tags to the documents on his hard drive, paying particular attention to add these tags to documents others created so to add his context). In 2003 del.icio.us was started by Joshua Schacter and it included identity in its social bookmarking. Creation of Folksonomy Term Definition of Folksonomy
11 Skills That Will Make You Successful In A Content Marketing Career “What are you ever going to do with that?” That’s the usual response I’d get when people would ask what my college degree was in (it was art and art history). There would be a prolonged moment of silence and then that question. I don’t know if that prolonged moment of silence was in honor of the memory of what they thought was now-gone employability. I can promise you that as I got older and there was more distance from my college graduation, I fretted less. Because in the ensuing years, I learned that the answer to that question was: quite a lot. Sometimes a skill is not just a skill. Want to use Click to Tweet on your blog? Free Download!

Folksonomy An empirical analysis of the complex dynamics of tagging systems, published in 2007,[8] has shown that consensus around stable distributions and shared vocabularies does emerge, even in the absence of a central controlled vocabulary. For content to be searchable, it should be categorized and grouped. While this was believed to require commonly agreed on sets of content describing tags (much like keywords of a journal article), recent research has found that, in large folksonomies, common structures also emerge on the level of categorizations.[9] Accordingly, it is possible to devise mathematical models of collaborative tagging that allow for translating from personal tag vocabularies (personomies) to the vocabulary shared by most users.[10] Origin[edit] Folksonomy is a type of collaborative tagging system in which the classification of data is done by users. There are two different groups of folksonomies. Semantic Web[edit] Library Catalogs[edit] Folksontology[edit] See also[edit]
The Complete Beginner's Guide to Creating Marketing Personas Over my career I have been fortunate to work for a number of different organizations, all of which have been in completely different stages of their marketing maturity. Regardless of what stage they are in, one of my first priorities is creating in-depth marketing personas. Marketing personas are like the foundation for building your marketing house. Without personas, how do you know which message will appeal to your target market’s needs? Or where to reach your audience to build awareness and drive them to your website? Or what to write about in your content marketing efforts? Or how to talk to your audience on social media? The problem is, most of the literature on marketing personas takes you down the path toward: “John has a wife, 3 kids and a dog’ … which has never proved all that helpful for me. That’s why I wanted to write this article to share my experiences and learnings from creating marketing personas at several companies over the years. What are marketing personas? 1. 2. 3.
