Social Media
A Social Media ROI Examples Video Infographic
September 4, 2011
If you need to get your stakeholders thinking about taking their first step (or their next step- from unplanned to get thinking and developing a strategy) in social media, then you will find this video helpful in collecting examples and data points that show how organizations have benefited from social media.
Being a video infographic, rather than text or an image means quicker assimilation of what it is trying to convey. While its a great way to share knowledge with your team, it makes even more sense to show it to your stakeholders.
About the video
This video was made in 2009 by Erik Qualman of Socialnomics. I came across it on day one of KM Singapore at Michelle Lambert’s masterclass on developing a social media strategy.
The UX Bookmark- the best UX links for the smartest User Experience practitioners
May 18, 2011
I created the UX Bookmark a few years ago to separate the wheat from the chaff, here you will find only the best of articles, from journals, conferences and the web, that will help you evolve to being a more knowledgeable user experience practitioner.
From the feedback I have received, I could not be more glad in knowing how much it has helped many of you- at times when you have needed it most, or how you have used it to slowly build your knowledge in user experience or a particular area within it.
If you are a usability engineer, user researcher, human factors specialist, interaction designer or an information architect, then the UX Bookmark is a resource specially for you.
