  • Organizing Email
    Organizing Email Master’s Thesis Gabor Cselle <[email protected]> Prof. Dr. Roger Wattenhofer Dr. Keno Albrecht Distributed Computing Group Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory (TIK) Departments of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering ETH Zurich, Switzerland October 3, 2006 Distributed Computing Group Copyright © 2006 Gabor Cselle and Distributed Computing Group, ETH Zurich. Abstract Email clients were not designed to handle the volume and variety of messages users are dealing with today. While this problem, termed “email overload,” is widely acknowledged, there exist only few products which attempt to solve it. This thesis discusses an email client extension aimed at sensibly structuring the user’s incoming email. We develop our ideas after a thorough review of the problem and existing approaches of or- ganizing email in both research and practice. In particular, we explore automatic foldering, in which machine learning algorithms are used to automatically move emails to folders. How- ever, this method has several drawbacks which we discuss in detail. Instead, we have devised a scheme for topic detection and tracking in email: Related emails are grouped and displayed together. The underlying inbox data is not changed. We evaluated our scheme using existing metrics for news articles, and found good results for clustering quality. We created an exten- sion called “BuzzTrack” for Mozilla Thunderbird, a popular email client, which makes this technology accessible to the end user. iii iv Acknowledgments Ideas never form in a vacuum, but are the product of interaction. Many people have con- tributed to this thesis, knowingly or unknowingly, and I’d like to acknowledge those who have provided encouragement, help, and inspiration.

  • The Semantic
    The Fate of the Semantic Web Technology experts and stakeholders who participated in a recent survey believe online information will continue to be organized and made accessible in smarter and more useful ways in coming years, but there is stark dispute about whether the improvements will match the visionary ideals of those who are working to build the semantic web. Janna Quitney Anderson, Elon University Lee Rainie, Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project May 4, 2010 Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project An initiative of the Pew Research Center 1615 L St., NW – Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 202‐419‐4500 | pewInternet.org This publication is part of a Pew Research Center series that captures people’s expectations for the future of the Internet, in the process presenting a snapshot of current attitudes. Find out more at: http://www.pewInternet.org/topics/Future‐of‐the‐Internet.aspx and http://www.imaginingtheinternet.org. 1 Overview Sir Tim Berners‐Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, has worked along with many others in the Internet community for more than a decade to achieve his next big dream: the semantic web. His vision is a web that allows software agents to carry out sophisticated tasks for users, making meaningful connections between bits of information so “computers can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web.”1 The concept of the semantic web has been fluid and evolving and never quite found a concrete expression and easily‐understood application that could be grasped readily by ordinary Internet users.

The design and function of many of Apple's apps is beginning to feel a bit stale, and many people are growing dissatisified (http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/26/survey-ios-6-leads- to-decrease-in-device-satisfaction-among-iphone-users/) with the experience as a whole.

    the way we see it Changing The Game: Monthly Technology Briefs April 2010 Social CRM: The Game-changing Movement that Links Social Tools with Revenues! Read the Capgemini Chief Technology Officers’ Blog at www.capgemini.com/ctoblog Insert partner logo Public the way we see it Social CRM: People You Know Bought This! Harvard Business Press is about to publish a book called ‘Social Groundswell’ that details case studies of more than a dozen major corporations who have seen their revenues drop sharply through not being aware of, or using, Social Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Alternatively, it also includes instances of others who have seen an equally sharp rise in revenues from successfully using Social CRM. Today, many people have moved beyond seeing the web simply as online catalogues of products; they now use other sources to gather opinions from other consumers. People are quick to tell others through social networks, and even focused manufacturer communities, about products that are perceived as poor or examples of bad service. There are many recorded instances of this resulting in drops of between 14-17 percent in revenue. Again, as good products or services correspond with rises in sales, both the positive and negative effects of Social CRM are being widely recognized by many enterprises today! Social CRM is using various forms of social networking to create a new level of intimacy and interaction with clients that connects back to the existing structure of conventional CRM. By doing so, it is able to more closely meet and match clients’ expectations, thereby increase revenues and satisfaction.
