Consumption &#8211; of content, as in usable, reference-able, searchable, tag-able and reusable. Contribution &#8211; of content that can and should be user-generated. Conversation &#8211; about content \u2013 it&#8217;s what makes it socially relevant to the business. Collaboration &#8211; with others over content \u2013 it&#8217;s goal oriented and how we get things done socially. Connections &#8211; made with others regarding content. In competitive business, it&#8217;s not just what you know, but who you know. Once connections are made, vicarious reinforcement follows. Control\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0 this\u00a0 is\u00a0 the\u00a0 most\u00a0 important\u00a0 and\u00a0 relevant\u00a0 &#8220;C&#8221;\u00a0 enterprises are dealing with today. Social learning technologies should enable customers to govern the continuum of openness and control as it applies to their business. Social technologies should enable providers and users to navigate the Seven Cs while remaining meaningful to the workflow of the business.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/kommunikation-zweinull.de\/10-echte-thesen-zur-zukunft-von-social-media-the-missing-manual-fur-die-bvdw-thesen-zu-social-media\/\">10 echte Thesen zur Zukunft von Social Media \u2013 The Missing Manual f&uuml;r die BVDW-Thesen zu Social Media | Von Kai Heddergott | Kommunikation \u2013 zweinull<\/a> &#8211; Social Media ist st&auml;ndiges ausprobieren: Social Media ist \u2013 einmal gestartet \u2013 ein kontinuierlicher, zyklischer Prozess, der immer wieder auf Tauglichkeit gepr&uuml;ft und gegebenenfalls angepasst werden muss.

Sie setzen nicht nur auf eine Verbesserung des Bestehenden, sondern lassen radikale Innovationsans&auml;tze zu. Sie versuchen nicht, in &uuml;bers&auml;ttigte M&auml;rkte Produkte hineinzubringen, die noch &uuml;berfl&uuml;ssiger sind, als die, die es bereits gibt, sondern sie entwickeln Produkte, f&uuml;r die es noch keine M&auml;rkte gibt, Dienstleistungen, die einzigartig sind, und Gesch&auml;ftsmodelle, die klassische Branchengrenzen sprengen.

APIs offer a scalable and reliable way to simplify the development process, avoiding rework by using existing tools built by others. They can give developers a massive advantage by shortening the development cycle and helping them be first to market. Increasingly startups are making APIs their business, allowing developers to use their tools or pull from their base of APIs to add functionality to their apps.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/curriculum\">Curriculum &#8211; Learn.SFE<\/a> &#8211; Our curriculum has been broken out into three main categories: beginner, intermediate and advanced. Materials may include presentations, handouts, code and whatever else we&#8217;ve got!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/5899904\/a-non+designers-guide-to-typefaces-and-layout\">A Non-Designer&#8217;s Guide to Typefaces and Layout<\/a> &#8211; Before we jump into the specifics, the most important thing you need to know when making any design choices is why. Ask yourself this: &#8220;what is my goal?&#8221; All elements of design are able to invoke different emotions in the viewer and affect them in various ways. While adhering to general principals is good when you&#8217;re getting started, you want to based your design choices on the impact you want them to have. That requires knowing what that impact will be. Do you want your design to attract attention to specific sections? Do you want certain words or phrases to have more impact than others? You make these basic choices like these already. When writing a research paper or a resume, you&#8217;ve probably bolded a section header to help with identification. If all the text on that page was the same, it would be more difficult for the reader to navigate or skim. The simple decision of emboldening text and making it larger suddenly adds greater context to the design of a document, and it&#8217;s one you&#8217;re probably making subconsicously. When you&#8217;re thinking about design, you want to move those choices out of your subconscious and into the front of your mind. Think about what you hope to accomplish and then apply the principles you learn in this guide to the design tasks you encounter on a regular basis. Thinking a little more creatively and knowing the right techniques is all you&#8217;ll need to add a greater visual impact to the design work you&#8217;ll encounter on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stage.vambenepe.com\/archives\/1932\">\u00bb The war on RSS Cloud Comedy, Cloud Tragedy<\/a> &#8211; Allow me to disagree \u2014 and I\u2019m very happy to be able to do so. RSS is alive and well; it just completely failed to get adopted by the mainstream. I don\u2019t think a lot of people would even be interested in subscribing to Twitter feeds and Facebook walls via RSS, so it\u2019s not a big deal that these services have been phasing out support for it. At the same time, a lot of applications, some of them now becoming very popular with mainstream users, make extensive use of RSS behind the scenes (like Flipboard, or now Google Currents). RSS is doing just fine, it\u2019s just ended up in another place than what we all were hoping for.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/google-styleguide.googlecode.com\/svn\/trunk\/pyguide.html\">Google Python Style Guide<\/a> &#8211; Background Python is the main scripting language used at Google.
