![Page 5: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How to Evaluate Emerging Technologies
• Separate the technology from the culture
• Separate the current utility from the generic utility
• Maxim: any piece of software with pop culture popularity has enterprise utility
• That’s what we’re going to do today– show the utility of popular application in the enterprise
![Page 6: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Technologies
• Social Networking Platforms: Facebook, Pownce, LinkedIn,
• Publishing Tools: Yahoo 360, WordPress, Movable Type, TypePad
• Meme sites: Technorati, Digg, various others in particular industries
![Page 7: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Technologies
• Media sharing and storage sites
• Photos: Flickr• Video: YouTube/ Google
Video• WordPress and Pownce
for long-term storage of large files
• DropSend or SendFile for transfer of files to media
![Page 8: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Culture
• Collaboration: comments, trackbacks, frequent updates/ edits
• Openness: transparency in approach (development, features, etc.)
• Crowdsourcing: Wikipedia is the great example, but there are many others (Yahoo! Teachers and Answers, for instance)
![Page 9: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Wikipedia IP Address Issue
• Logging changes to Wikipedia pages related to corporations and brands
• Tracking them to IP addresses within the corporations that were the subject of the articles
• The implication-- practically unchallenged in the meme cycle-- was that corporations had no right to a voice
![Page 10: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What the Culture Means to PR Professionals
• You have a right to speech• Limiting social networking tools to
individuals & excluding corporations makes no sense
• Pure First Amendment issues, similar to the caselaw on political contributions
• Exert your rights• But do it right
![Page 11: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
So When You Comment
• Don’t be tricky• Be an individual, not a company (user
names based on your name, first person singular and plural)
• Stay focused on the specific text that you are commenting on-- not people, history, or the ether
• But do it
![Page 12: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Jarvis’ “New News Process”
TextText
![Page 13: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Essentials for the Conversation
• There are step-by-steps here, but you’ll have to figure some things out
• Use the “Help” button• If you get stuck, Google the problem–
chances are someone else has had the same issue
• The ability to copy/paste pieces of code directly into your intranet is key to most of these ideas
![Page 14: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Platform for a PR Professional
• Use an RSS reader to keep up with what people are saying about your company and your industry
• Use relatively simple mashup tools to create custom competitive intelligence
• Use media sharing sites for finding, publishing, and sharing photos and video relating to your company
![Page 15: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RSS Reader
• This is one of the basics that every communicator should have– a full RSS reader
• Google Reader is the best– easy to subscribe, easy to share, great screen shortcuts
• Others: Bloglines, My Yahoo, NewsGator
![Page 16: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Google Reader
![Page 17: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Google Reader for Subscribing to News
• Electronic clipping service
• Subscribe to any news source that has an RSS feed
• Use the Firefox or IE 7 browsers for auto-detection of RSS feeds
• Firefox is best– faster, renders pages better, spellcheck
![Page 18: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Google Reader for Corporate News Clippings & Content
Fodder• Reading lists– keep up on key industry
publications and newspapers• Do searches in your key executive staff,
company name, and industry keywords in Google News
• Every search has an RSS feed• Don’t forget the blog search, too• Once you’ve got the feed, you can just
click the orange RSS button or copy/paste the URL into the “Add Subscription” section in Google Reader on the left
![Page 19: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
OPML to Export Reading List
• Once you build a good reading list, you can share it with everyone in your company
• Settings > Import/ Export > Export Your Subscriptions as an OPML File
• Then upload it to an intranet or other shared Web resource
• Anyone can download it and import it into their feed reader
![Page 22: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Custom Competitive Intelligence
• Use Google and Yahoo! news & blog search RSS feeds along with Yahoo! Pipes and FeedBurner to create custom competitive intelligence
• Once you’ve got an RSS feed, you can trim it then publish it to your intranet
![Page 23: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Convenience Store Raw Feed
![Page 32: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Convenience Store Feed w/o the phrase “7-eleven”
![Page 33: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Now it is
![Page 34: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Custom Competitive Intelligence:
Upshots• Somewhat complicated, but powerful
once you get it• Be sure not to “publish” your feed–
then only you know its URL• Be sure to only use this tactic on feeds
that you are OK to make public• The feeds may be indexed by search
engines• If you’re afraid of the competitive
intelligence searches becoming public, pick your content by hand using RSS feeds as in our first example

Flickr
• Use Flickr for finding, publishing, and sharing photos relating to your company
• Flickr has 25,017 photos of “Pepsi”
![Page 36: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Flickr for Creative Commons Photos Available for use on
your Intranet• Creative Commons is a
set of intellectual property standards based on existing copyright law
• Flickr supports search for Creative Commons images in their Advanced Search
![Page 37: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
666 “Pepsi” photos on Flickr licensed under Creative

![Page 38: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Flickr for storing hi-res images
• Great for sharing with art departments
• Password-protected, but stored on the internet– so no trade secrets or pre-product launches
• Supports separate privacy settings for each photo
![Page 39: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

![Page 40: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Google Video
• Use Google Video to stream instructional videos and other corporate video assets
• Google allows for the streaming of private, non-indexed videos inside your intranet
• But again, only store non-critical items there– you never know
• Great for historical company videos or non-secret trade or instructional videos
![Page 41: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“Uploaded videos” screen
![Page 42: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Advantages of Google Video
• Private• No size limits– blows past all of the
“server space” issues of the past• Personal index of your videos– great
for historical asset management• Streaming onto your intranet is easy
![Page 43: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Google video: Just copy/ paste HTML
![Page 44: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Don’t ForgetPlain-Old SearchPlain-Old Search
• Yahoo! Toolbar to search within a Web site
• Archive.org to see what a site looked like years ago
• Google cache if you want to recreate a page that is now missing
![Page 45: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Some More Complex Ideas
• Use Live.com to create custom point-to-point maps
• Deploy WordPress to for feature-rich, extensible content management system
• Use social networking sites such as Facebook as an extension of your corporate conversation
• Use Zocalo to create prediction markets and tap hidden knowledge
![Page 46: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Live.com for custom maps
• Use Live.com to create custom point-to-point maps
• Very useful for maps to company picnic, key suppliers, ad-hoc route maps
• Published to the internet and accessible with the right URL
![Page 47: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Live.com maps– add custom “pushpins”
• Allows you to add “pushpins” (see right-hand side of screen after you log in)
• Each pushpin can be precisely placed and have detailed descriptions, URLs, images, etc.
![Page 48: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Live.com– see the map here
• http://local.live.com/?v=2&cid=5973FA202DA62927!138&encType=1
• Permanent URL for sharing
• Not indexed by search engines
![Page 49: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Maps for Story Telling
![Page 50: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
WordPress: content management
• Deploy WordPress to for feature-rich, extensible content management system
• “Blog” software that runs on your intranet, not on an outside server
• Highly extensible (can add outside functionality)
• Can be used as content management (more sophisticated databased relationships among content types)
• Has the simplicity and features of a blog
![Page 51: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
WordPress: Powerful Features
![Page 52: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
WordPress: Extensible
![Page 53: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Social Networking Sites
• Use social networking sites such as Facebook as an extension of your corporate conversation
• Not recommended for every corporation (especially the larger ones)
• But can be highly effective to have informal, deeper relationships with employees
• Be where they are, gather more knowledge
![Page 54: Daniel X. Presentation at Ragan Conference, May 2008](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061220/548738b1b4af9fb0568b4606/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Zocalo Prediction Markets• Use Zocalo to create
prediction markets and tap hidden knowledge
• Perhaps the most “out-there” suggestion on the list, and most difficult to execute
• But very rewarding for large organizations that seeks to get the low-down and dive deep into the collective mind of the workforce
• Great take on prediction market’s utility in the enterprise:

Zocalo Prediction Markets
• Need an experienced IT person to implement this
• Advantage: completely internal• Web-based source:
