Hashtag was the word of the year in 2013, there was a baby named Hashtag, and the word was outlawed in France (mot-dièse).
Hashtags continue to have enormous benefits when utilized appropriately in social media – especially as their use has expanded beyond Twitter and into Facebook. If you’d like some hashtag basics, see the Hashtag Guide that we’ve published. You can also read our post on finding the best hashtags for each social update....
Vizir is a free web app which facilitates the creation of online surveys and the analysis of the respondents data. Vizir questionnaires can be viewed on any type of device and can be shared via social media, or can be published into your website easily. It also works hand in hand with MS Office. No initial registration required to create a survey. Free plan includes unlimited questions and responses. My comment: Good tool for those not needing sophisticated and costly survey tools (SurveyMonkey). It provides a simple and non-technical way to create good-looking questionnaire and to easily analyze incoming data. It is better than Google Forms relative to interface design and data analysis and a good alternative to Typeform if you need something that allows to spend less time creating your survey.

If you’re like me, you probably use Google many times a day. But chances are, unless you're a technology geek, you probably still use Google in its simplest form. If your current use of Google is limited to typing in a few words and changing your query until you find what you’re looking for, then I’m here to tell you that there’s a better way -- and it’s not hard to learn. On the other hand, even if you are a technology geek and can use Google like the best of them already, I still suggest you bookmark this article of advanced Google search tips. Then, you’ll then have the tips on hand when you're ready to pull your hair out in frustration watching a neophyte repeatedly type in basic queries in a desperate attempt to find something. The following advanced Google search tips are based on my own experience and things that I actually find useful. I’ve kept the descriptions of the search tips intentionally terse, as you’re likely to grasp most of these simply by looking at the example from Google anyway....

As concerns over the de facto monopoly status of Google continue to grow, I'm reminded of the great philosopher Herman Cain and his infamous line "blame yourself". As long as "Google" is a generic phrase for Internet search, their dominant position is assured. That said, you can do something about it.
There are plenty of Google alternatives and many of these players offer a better search experience, depending on your needs. Here are 12 alternatives to escape your reliance on Google for all things search....

So you want to know how to access the deep web? First, you should get the terminology straight. The deep web is simply any web page or site that’s not indexed by standard search engines like Google. That could, for examples, include pages of this site that are still in draft—visible to us here at the Daily Dot but not yet published online. What you’re actually looking for is the dark net, the hidden internet full of secret search engines, online drug marketplaces, and even hitmen. To really understand it, you’ll need to spend some time there. (Editor’s note: For the sake of clarity, we’ll only use the term “deep web” for this article.) We should warn you: The deep web is mostly boring. For every gem you’ll discover along the way, there are thousands of dead links and half-finished sites that offer nothing of value. But if you value your privacy or are looking for some things that you wouldn’t want in your search history, let alone in the hands of a police agency, the deep web is an essential tool. It covers your tracks and anonymizes your behavior, which makes it an essential tool for journalists, activists, and others who need to share sensitive information away from prying eyes....
For the most part, fake news stories are still relatively crude and unsophisticated, with nothing more than text, a photo grabbed off the internet, and hyper-partisan, attention-grabbing headlines to lure clicks and shares. But fake news creators might begin to include one thing that journalists and researchers already know works to increase engagement: data visualizations. Readers Believe Data Visualizations The mere inclusion of a simple data visualization, like a chart or map, has shown to significantly increase a story’s believability, whether true or not. Researchers from Cornell University tested readers with two articles on a scientific claim, both identical except in one regard. One included a graph and the other did not. While only 68 percent of readers believed the claim in the article without a graph, nearly all –97 percent– of readers believed the same claim with the graph included. Similar effects were seen when a chemical formula was included, suggesting that the persuasive effects are based on the association of a graph with what the researchers call the “prestige of science.” The researchers conclude that “graphs signal a scientific basis for claims, which grants them greater credibility.” While their conclusions pertain to science stories in particular, it’s just one step to the applicability to news in general to infuse them with an aura of scientific backing....

Our technology and method Using NLP (natural language processing) to turn text into data, we extract reported speech (the things people say) from the text of online news, along with the associated metadata (things like: the name of the speaker and where they work). We use this data in a variety of ways: for our article ranking, when we manage churnalism (lots of news sources use the same info), and when we display the quotes themselves to create an at-a-glance version of the news. Why do we focus on quotes Because we're convinced that a valuable news experience is one that includes a variety of points of view - so more quotes means more value. At Trooclick, we understand that news is the same as anything else you might invest time or money in: it should be a good value....
Even a goldfish can pay attention for longer than most people can nowadays. The ever-decreasing human attention span is one of the the biggest challenges marketers are faced with today.
For those looking to conduct market research through surveys, the fight for our audience's attention can seem incredibly discouraging. How can you expect to improve participation rates when people can't sit still long enough to make it through your questions?

To learn how, take a look at the infographic below from the folks at qSample. It'll walk you through four interesting and helpful things to consider when crafting your next online survey....

I’ve been conducting consumer research in banking for a number of years now, and while it’s certainly debatable whether I’ve learned anything or not, I would argue that I have learned one thing: There IS such a thing as a stupid question when it comes to market research.
Especially in the field of banking.In general, stupid research questions include those that pose false dichotomies or tradeoffs–like “What’s more painful? a) Going to a bank branch, or b) Sticking needles in your eyes.”
Don’t be surprised if 72% of survey respondents choose the first option. I’d like to stick needles in those people’s eyes…just to teach them to not give stupid answers when completing a survey....

If you follow more than a handle of accounts, your Twitter stream can quickly become a firehose of irrelevant information. Because of this, many veteran users never visit their stream. Instead, they create lists or run saved searches.
