Establishing an Online Presence

Description: Learn about how it is now possible to run an international publication that is unified at the international level through Web 2.0! In this session we will discuss how the Triple Helix Online is using or plans to use Web 2.0 to expand its readership and enhance the publication process. Some of the technologies we will look at include micro-blogging, social networks, virtual worlds, as well as supplementary technologies such as google analytics and Word Press. We will also be discussing the new international website.

• 3:32 PM: Daniel M. Choi “Back End” Coders… sounds kinda kinky




• 3:32 PM: Daniel M. Choi OK, Jen is watching now




• 3:32 PM: Mira Oh god.




• 3:32 PM: Daniel M. Choi this is CS joke. i thought bio people were the dirtiest




• 3:33 PM: Daniel M. Choi She just failed at joking




• 3:33 PM: Daniel M. Choi Poor Nandita–we’re laughing at her while she’s working hard




• 3:33 PM: Daniel M. Choi We should stop using this as our own IM service




• 3:33 PM: Daniel M. Choi It’s unprofessional

• 3:34 PM: Daniel M. Choi Are we modifying current website or building it anew?




• 3:35 PM: Mira modifying blog!




• 3:35 PM: Daniel M. Choi That question was rhetorical




• 3:35 PM: Mira the blog looks really pretty. go see for yourself.




• 3:36 PM: Daniel M. Choi triplehelixblog.com




• 3:37 PM: Mira Right hand column on blog will also have chapter categories.

• 3:40 PM: Daniel M. Choi Alumni…. well, we’re listening to the Great Bald One




• 3:40 PM: Daniel M. Choi Great Bald One: Turnover is the biggest problem




• 3:41 PM: Daniel M. Choi Great Bald One with Nasal Voice: What will do to make sure that transition is smooth?




• 3:42 PM: Daniel M. Choi One suggestion: keep a larger staff that is kept busy




• 3:43 PM: Mira old website is first hit on google




• 3:44 PM: Daniel M. Choi fyi…. people will be raiding this room soon




• 3:45 PM: Daniel M. Choi making sure local chapters are actively posting on the website




• 3:45 PM: Daniel M. Choi because most of them look pretty dismal despite how active the chapter actually is




• 3:45 PM: Daniel M. Choi jen fails at understanding code




• 3:46 PM: Daniel M. Choi working into each chapter’s feed – some fancy code




• 3:46 PM: Daniel M. Choi stick a widget on every page




• 3:47 PM: Daniel M. Choi control information flow to keep international stuff more separate from chapter updates




• 3:47 PM: Daniel M. Choi Zain’s talking now!




• 3:48 PM: Daniel M. Choi people are in fb denial..




• 3:49 PM: Nsesh @ Daniel: the intelligent don’t own up to their sins




• 3:49 PM: Daniel M. Choi We don’t deny that we use fb; we just didn’t want to answer Zain’s questions




• 3:50 PM: Nsesh @ Mira: We’ll redirect the old website to the new one! woot




• 3:50 PM: Daniel M. Choi j: promoting undergraduate awareness of recent events; separate from the biannual journal –> diversity into interviews, live blogging, youtube, debates, etc. response videos (haha could be fun)




• 3:51 PM: Daniel M. Choi social science tying into e-pub: more recent discussions




• 3:52 PM: Daniel M. Choi @Zain I think there’s some chapter issues you have that you’re bleeding into the international structure, just FYI




• 3:53 PM: Daniel M. Choi j: recruitment effort on campus; proving to potential writers who can get something out of it; always have new content, stagger cycles between chapters; category experts: profs to guest contribute articles maybe schedule some regulars. column writers, anyone?




• 3:54 PM: Nsesh @Daniel I think his idea was that web presence lends itself to deepening the soc. science integration…




• 3:55 PM: Nsesh things just got real! The words “intellectual property issues” and “patent disclosures” were uttered. serious, serious music plays in the background…




• 3:55 PM: Daniel M. Choi @nandita, daniel: i think it’s a difference between assuming certain things about chapter org and people’s backgrounds and establishing a standard vision for the concept of epub (jen)




• 3:56 PM: Daniel M. Choi j: let’s make money guys. consulting!




• 3:56 PM: Daniel M. Choi we can get paid to be poor that way! (Daniel)




• 3:57 PM: Nsesh Flickr too! As of half an hour ago, TTH has an official Flickr account. Conference photos will be uploaded during the lunch break…




• 3:59 PM: Mira RSS + E-pub = instant updates. But how does it work?




• 3:59 PM: Daniel M. Choi RSS: scripting code whenever there is an update; feeder takes initial posts to a “reader page” so that people don’t have to go to multiple places.. I think. correct me plz (jen)




• 3:59 PM: Nsesh RSS 101: en.wikipedia.org




• 4:00 PM: Daniel M. Choi daniel’s embarrassing, eating his own words now




• 4:00 PM: Mira Share what you like with friends by sharing on facebook.




• 4:00 PM: Mira Can e-mail posts too.




• 4:01 PM: Nsesh also: stumble upon! are we on stumble? good way to get people to find us!




• 4:01 PM: Mira Sharing info = popularity




• 4:02 PM: Daniel M. Choi Concern: We should not be using CNN as a model for news dissemination–we lose a lot of credibility as an academic journal.




• 4:04 PM: Daniel M. Choi maybe cite these news sites as “things going on” but actual commentaries, the insights and perspective of writing can come from academic sources, ie. profs, primary sources, etc. (jen(




• 4:04 PM: Daniel M. Choi personal fan of the eocnomist – jen




• 4:05 PM: Daniel M. Choi *economist




• 4:09 PM: Daniel M. Choi recruitment right now for epub




• 4:10 PM: Daniel M. Choi robust medium of epub – question of editorial process? must have good writing (not a prob), perspective in the article is the prob? lack of faculty review?




• 4:10 PM: Daniel M. Choi every article reviewed by faculty




• 4:11 PM: Daniel M. Choi @faculty review: creating instrastucture for editing process




• 4:13 PM: Daniel M. Choi d: knowledge of every field, editors don’t have robust knowledge




• 4:14 PM: Daniel M. Choi this is really intense…. (jen)




• 4:14 PM: Nsesh things got SUPER real! The word Ludite! www.urbandictionary.com




• 4:15 PM: Daniel M. Choi an ideological clash…. (j)




• 4:15 PM: Daniel M. Choi mira: lack of response from faculty




• 4:16 PM: Nsesh Adapting the medium to meet quality standards! But it’s a different medium with different standards.




• 4:17 PM: Daniel M. Choi concern: making sure information is accurate resulting from faculty review




• 4:21 PM: Nsesh the concern is that the integrity of the editing cycle won’t uphold in the sphere of online media




• 4:22 PM: Nsesh julia: but we have to remember that it’s the same dedicated, intelligent, honest and aware members who belong to the organization–the integrity will not suffer




• 4:22 PM: Daniel M. Choi board of advisors input: impractical?




• 4:23 PM: Nsesh impractical in terms of the sheer number of articles that e-pub allows for




• 4:24 PM: Nsesh Global Solver: digitalcommons.georgetown.edu




• 4:25 PM: Nsesh Link FLOOD!




• 4:25 PM: Nsesh Science blogs: scienceblogs.com




• 4:25 PM: Daniel M. Choi suggestion: maybe est. checkpoints prior to writing and ease on editing later in terms of fact checks, etc. but i wasn’t there to hear about how epub’s ran now. sorry if it’s already there (jen)
