Data Visualization is a relatively new field and as such, it has a lot of maturing to do. And part of that process is determining what is acceptable practice. (RT @VisionsCarto: Visualisation : un code éthique ?

2012: The Year Of Social Business Strategy... For a lot of business, 2011 was the year of “finding itself” in its attempt to bring itself online in the social media era.
Almost over night, thousands of social media-centric job openings began appearing on job boards. Some of them were more traditional-sounding roles, while others appeared to be completely new.
As you can see, social business isn’t designated to a single department within a company. Rather, it is far reaching and requires the involvement of people both in the C-Suite and on the ground.
2012 is the year when talk turns into action, and teams formed to develop plans and strategy, really get to work. Via maxOz

“Retweeting”, “liking”, and “blogging” may sound like many of the unintelligible words that come out of your teenager’s mouth.
However this new jargon is representative of the way the world of marketing is headed. Online marketing isn’t just about banner ads and e-mail campaigns anymore. The world of the web is becoming more social. Building a strong presence with social media is now more important than ever.
However, social media is relatively new; in fact only 11% of businesses have been practicing social media marketing (SMM) for more than 3 years.
If you’re not sure how to use social media for your business, you’re not alone.
It can be difficult to define the role of SMM in your company’s marketing plan. Via maxOz

Many thanks for sharing this, Robin! I couldn´t agree more with the prediction that 21st century education will definitely need "super e-coaches" with 3 characteristics (1) domain expertise, (2) a deep understanding of the Internet for learning and teaching purposes and (3) counselling skills. If we, as teachers, are able to perform this task, this, in turn, can also serve as a model for our students so they can develop themselves the necessary skills to integrate and make sense of the vast information available. Skills that they will certainly need for their future.

Tweeting harder to resist than sex, coffee, and alcohol, say researchers from the University of Chicago. Now, let's just see you try to resist tweeting this story.
What do you desire most right now? A drink? A cigarette? A nap? That hottie at the next table? Come on, be honest. What you really want to do this instant, if you haven't already done it, is to tweet the headline of this story.
Lead researcher Wilhelm Hofmann explained to the Guardian that the participants, located in the German city of Wurtzburg, were pinged seven times a day via their BlackBerrys and asked to report any desires they had experienced in the past 30 minutes, as well as the intensity of each want.
The study will soon be published in Psychological Science. Via maxOz

As social media becomes more integral to students' lives, educational institutions are finally catching on, and catching up. Here's how colleges and universities are leveraging social in the classroom and the recruiting office.
When it comes to higher ed, there are not only opportunities for digital learning, but digital marketing too. Some schools have taken the reigns on both sides, with mixed results.
This Infographic takes a look at how schools have fared with social media over the last few years — what platforms are best, where they’ve succeeded, and the challenges that lay ahead.

Robin Good: Tom Guilmette has published an excellent guide on how you can use multiple GoPro camcorders to do a live video stream of a live event. From the original article: "For under $300 you get a tiny wide angle 16:9 1080p camera that is also a self contained video camcorder. The GoPro records picture and sound to built in SD cards as mp4 files. You can put GoPros anywhere (and yea, they are even waterproof in the included case). And now GoPro has released a Hero2 new model that has sharper optics, an easy to navigate menu, better light sensitivity and more recording options. ...many of you may not know that these little cameras can output analog and HD signals that can be fed into a live production truck. This article will tell you how to do it and why most attempts to get these to work as live POVs prove to be an epic failure." The article includes lots of tips on ancillary equipment you will need such cables, plugs, convertes and convertors of all kinds, including links and product images. Highly recommended. 9/10 Full article: http://www.tomguilmette.com/archives/3405 Via Robin Good
