News use across #SocialMedia platforms in 2020 highlights the need for editorial and fact checking as part of the media feed algorithms via @PewResearch | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

About half of U.S. adults say they get news from social media “often” or “sometimes,” and this use is spread out across a number of different sites. Facebook stands out as a regular source of news for about a third of Americans.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: the problem is not social media but the fact that people use it as a replacement for news media with editorial checks and fact checks...

Through UGC and AI, we’re inching closer to the Metaverse. But the most exciting part of that vision is its potential to reinvent our social interactions.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: a good article on the Metaverse as part of a series on new social media. Just in case you thought digital transformation was about to slow down.

Wikipedia’s future lies in poorer countries- what have the last 20 years of wikipedia's life shown

Wikipedia’s future lies in poorer countries- what have the last 20 years of wikipedia's life shown | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Meanwhile, as more people in poorer countries gain internet access, Wikipedia is becoming a truly global resource. The encyclopedia’s sub-sites are organised by language, not by nationality. Using this method, the richest Wikipedias—as measured by the share of speakers of each language who are active editors—tend to cluster in rich Western countries.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: after 20 years, wikipedia is proof that "the web" can live up to its potential where the masses can contribute valuable information for the greater good. That being said, wikipedia remains a solution driven by english-speaking white males. The future lies in improving its diversity and maybe transferring some of its learnings to facebook, twitter and other social media. This article summarizes the growth and evolution after 20 years existence.

How to setup a Facebook messenger #Chatbot by comparing 2 solution leaders (ManyChat vs. Chatfuel) shows what is possible, easy and difficult - great #showdown by @Zapier | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Businesses are suddenly very interested in Facebook Messenger bots. And for good reason: Facebook's chat platform now supports over 1.2 billion monthly active users—and automated chatbots, like ManyChat and Chatfuel, provide a unique, interactive way of engaging with them. Chatbots let you have a conversation wit

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: chatbots were all the rage last year, often described as a silver bullet to solve all kinds of problems easilly. Now they have become one more solution in the digital transformation arsenal, with PROs and CONs. This post describes the process to setup and configure two popular tools and in the process highlight their capabilities and shortcomings.

Twitter can tell which states love jogging & which are eating hot dogs 

Twitter can tell which states love jogging & which are eating hot dogs  | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

With the explosive growth of online activity and social media around the world, the massive amount of real-time data created directly by populations of interest has become an increasingly attractive and fruitful source for analysis. Despite the limitation that social media users in the United States are not a random sample of the US population [7], there is a wealth of information in these data sets and uneven sampling can often be accommodated.

Indeed, online activity is now considered by many to be a promising data source for detecting health conditions [8, 9] and gathering public health information [10, 11], and within the last decade, researchers have constructed a range of public-health instruments with varying degrees of success.

Fine-tuning these algorithms is key to improving large-scale analysis of social media, whether the goal is to measure the caloric content of a tweet or to find the next developing news story. These technologies represent new ways of finding and understanding the conversations we're having as a country -- chatter that is increasingly moving online.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

More insights on wellness and fitness from social media and big data. Here what is important to note is how we can extract knowledge from information that people share on social media. With more and more wearable devices and internet connected devices like refrigerators, cooktops, and water bottles, it is clear that more and more insight will be gathered from our digital exhaust.

Gen Z: Get Ready for the Most Self-Conscious, Demanding Consumer Segment 

Gen Z: Get Ready for the Most Self-Conscious, Demanding Consumer Segment  | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Generation Z (Gen Z), born after 2000, is the first generation not to have known life without technologies and services such as smartphones, iPads, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Exposure to these technologies and services has influenced this demographic’s broader expectations and behaviors.

We have identified three defining attributes of Gen Zers:

  • Gen Zers tend to attach great importance to personal appearance, in large part because they are the first generation to grow up “in public” online, i.e., documenting their lives on social media.
  • The pressures presented by social media are encouraging Gen Zers to spend on leisure services, such as vacations, dining out and going out. This is what we call “the Instagram effect.”
  • The on-demand economy, ranging from video-on-demand services such as Netflix to dine-on-demand apps such as UberEATS, is making Gen Z the most demanding, least patient generation ever.

US consumers spent $829.5 billion on Gen Zers in 2015, we estimate. Around $66 billion of that total was spent on discretionary categories, while most of it was spent on essential or semi discretionary categories such as housing, food, clothing and transportation.

Farid Mheir's insight:

Make sure you can fulfill their digital needs because they are coming to replace the millennials!

People hated 2016 so much that the year itself became a punchline. But for every grim reminder that things are amiss, we saw people fight for a better future.

The best of the Verge, very interesting papers on digital topics including machine learning, ecommerce, social media, self-driving cars, batteries, and many more.
