I really liked the Social Monitoring and Reasearch tool presentation. The Social Mention tool they demoed was one of my favorite. I can see myself using it at work to see how viral certain products are or the brand as a whole. It was really cool to see how many results the tool pulls, and the analysis it does of the results. I tried it out using one of my company's most popular items, "disco pants." Instantly I could see there was a huge buzz of people talking about them primarily on youtube. This would be good insight for the marking team. Maybe we host a youtube contest, or with our next product launch we get it in the hands of vloggers.

I also enjoyed the presentation on Mockups. I don't generally make extensive mockups for projects I do. However, with the tools they spoke about I could see myself making this a habit. I really liked Balsamiq.

The last tool I found intrested, was JIRA. My company uses Jira, but more as a project management tool. I think it was tool we initally used for our IT dept, but it quickly spread to the graphic design team for project management. It was cool to see it used as bug tracking tool in the "Trying To Make Bug Tracking Fun" presentation. Now, after learning more about JIRA from the presentation I can see why it works well for the graphics team.

Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:10:00 -0700 Unconference - What I learned http://cg-asu.posterous.com/unconference-what-i-learned http://cg-asu.posterous.com/unconference-what-i-learned

Here's a recap of two things I learned at our Unconference. 

  • Joseph Cater - SEOI already knew a good amount about SEO, as I help structure a lot of it at the place I work. However, I never knew foreign companies setup "Doorway" pages with their native language to help increase rank. 
  • My other favorite presentation was on SQL Injections. Although, I can't locate the link to the blog post. I never realized how easiy, and how vunerable, websites are to this form of attack. He have us 3 simple safegards against it which I though was pretty cool.

I created a workflow to save new Wordpress posts to a Dropbox folder. Could be a useful backup method for company blog posts.

I created this recipe to coincide with a site I built: http://phxv.co/instavtg; which compiles tagged Instagram pictures into a gallery through Wordpress and the Instagram API.

For this game I choose the Supply Chain route. I was able to set the business process workflow, determine which warehouses we should ship goods from, and what discount and time frame we should offer for a product recall.

I thought the game was a cool way to see the impact seemingly small decisions have on the company. My score was 21735.
