He'll Never Be Prince Charming (2/?)

(aesthetic by @aesthetics-and-fuckery, yeah, that's me. do NOT steal this!)

Harry Potter/Wizarding World x DC

Pairing: Klarion Bleak x Fem!Reader, Lilith Bleak (OC) x Fem!Reader

CW: romance, past breakups, use of she/her, language, shitty attempt at angst, author attempted to not use y/n and i think i succeeded but who knows, klarion & lilith are being lil bitches who doesn't know how to romance, playing with feelings, wizarding relations are really weird, toxic relationships probably, pining, i think that's it but if there's more tell me!

Summary: Reader is an exchange student. She's a witch, but not the kind that hogwarts is used to. She uses pentagrams and incantations instead of wands and spells. She uses poisons and candles rather than potions and charms. She practices moonlit summonings instead of defense against the dark arts. So what happens when not one, but two lords of chaos appear in the middle of the great hall, both claiming to be her lover? (this is part two of a multi-part series, so look out for a pt 3!)

SONG: Devil Doesn't Bargain by Alec Benjamin

A/N: I'm sorry if I offended anyone! I just tried to portray traditional-ish(?) witchcraft in the way that I've kinda seen it portrayed in fiction. Please don't take this seriously, this is a work of fiction and isn't meant to portray witchcraft seriously.

HOW TO READ: Each set of lyrics is kinda like a divider! each section of words/blurb between the lyrics are their own moment, and this particular piece has multiple little moments. Definitely timeskips. You can find more stories like this one by looking under the tag #ryn writes songfics

Previously...

"Klarion and Lilith Bleak get your asses down here right now!"

The two stopped arguing and grinned. With a pop they appeared in front of her, smiling like kids in a candy shop. One had a lovesick expression, the other had a flirtatious smirk.

"Hello, love."

I'm not one to lecture Talk down to a friend I don't mean to pressure Mean to condescend

She rolled her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, frowing.

"We're here to settle a little...disagreement of sorts between us." The female, Lilith, stretched her mouth into a cheshire cat smile.

"Oh really? And what is this disagreement?"

"Your heart, my love," the male, Klarion, replied.

She facepalmed. Noodle hissed at them both. The cat, Teekl, and the Raven, Deirdre, hissed right back. That was when the teachers *cough*umbitch*cough* decided to butt in.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Umbridge shrieked.

"This? Well, 'this' is used to identify a specific person or thing close at hand or being indicated or experienced. It can also be used to refer to a specific thing or situation just mentioned," Lilith said, cackling.

Klarion just rolled his eyes.

"Nobody likes a smart assault, Lily."

She sighed.

"It's smart-ass, Witch Boy."

"Whatever you say, my love." Lilith glared at her twin.

"Who said she's yours?"

"ENOUGH!" Umbridge screeched. "Who are you and why have you tresspassed onto these grounds?!"

The duo glared at Umbridge.

"You don't know us? How rude," Klarion said.

"Yeah, you'd think a magic user would know us," Lilith added. "Even if it's baby magic."

She pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Professor, this is Klarion the Witch Boy and Lilith the Witch Girl."

"Lords of Chaos, at your disservice!" The two said in unison. Umbridge's nostrils flared.

"I demand you get off this property at once!"

"Uh uh uh! We still need to settle our agreement!" Klarion exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Lilith turned her attention towards her. "So? Which of us do you love? Klari or me?"

"It's obviously me," Klarion said, scoffing at his twin's attempts.

"Puh-LEASE, you have zero game."

"Excuse you?!" He glared at his sister.

"Klarion, Lilith-" She pursed her lips at the chaotic twins. Umbridge decided she had had enough.

"So you're the cause of this!" Umbridge exclaimed triumphantly.

"Wha-You think I can control two people who are literally the embodiments of chaos?" She turned her attention to Lilith and Klarion. "Look, the two of you better get out of here."

"Wha-" Klarion cut his twin off.

"Do you want her to get into more trouble, Lily?" The female huffed and the two (along with their familiars) disappeared in a burst of red dust.

And the whole school was staring at the red-faced witch.

But I just want what's best for You in the end I know you don't want to let go

"So who are they?"

The whole school seemed to want to know the answer to that question.

Klarion and Lilith Bleak were twins. A chaotic duo, spreading destruction and mischief wherever they went. At times, they seemed like complete opposites. Lilith was the more mature one out of the two, sarcastic and flirtatous. Klarion was childish and disruptive, constantly bothering everybody he met. But when the two decided to cause trouble together, they showed the world exactly why they were twins.

Klarion "worked" for the Light, an organization that constantly plagued the JLA and the covert team. Since she dabbled in almost every corner of witchcraft, she met with the junior league on a normal basis to fix their magical maladies. Lilith, however, preferred to stay untethered to anything, wreaking havoc on either side depending on who she felt like helping.

"They're lords of chaos. Both have been around since the beginning of time and both are eternally confusing. But I can't exactly get rid of them, since they're immortal and a lot more powerful than I am," she finished.

"Was that cat and that raven their familiars?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah."

Harry grinned at her.

"So two of the most chaotic, powerful magic beings in the universe have a crush on you."

She groaned.

"Shut up, Potter."

A group of girls passed them, and shot her terrified looks.

"The whole school thinks you summon demons on a normal basis," Ron said.

"I mean, I've done it before but I'd never summon those two. I see enough of them as it is." The trio laughed, and they pushed open the door to potions.

And just like before I can see that you're sure You can change him but I know you won't

"Hey! Demon-girl!"

She groaned at the nickname and turned around in her seat.

"The hell do you want?" She grumbled.

"What was that in the Great Hall? Did you summon them?" He asked. She just scoffed in response.

"Trust me, I would never summon those two."

A malevolent purple mist appeared next to her. It cleared to reveal the same girl from the Hall.

"Never? I think never's a bit too long, sweetheart."

Lilith Bleak had infiltrated Hogwarts. Again.

She sighed.

"What do you want, demon?" Lilith frowned.

"Demon? You and I know full well I'm way more powerful than just a pitiful demon," she scoffed.

She sighed.

"Whatever, but Lilith, you need to leave." The lord of chaos pouted at this.

"Leave? But I just got here!"

"Do you want me to get into trouble?" Lilith huffed.

"Fine, I'll leave. But I'm leaving Deirdre with you."

Her eyes widened.

"Lilith...what if you get attacked and she's not with you?"

She regretted saying that as soon as a smirk appeared on the other woman's face.

"Aww, looks like somebody does care!"

She rolled her eyes, then shooed her away.

"Go perish."

"Anything for you, sweetheart!"

And she vanished in a puff of purple smoke.

She faced forward, only for Professor Snape to glare at her.

"Detention."

"What? But it's not even my fault! They just appear and I can't do anything about it!"

He frowned, but turned back to the board.

"If they disrupt the class again I will have to give you detention and take away house points. No matter whose fault it is."

She groaned. Deirdre cawed out a laugh.

"Oh shut up you stupid bird."

The devil doesn't bargain He'll only break your heart again It isn't worth it, darling He's never gonna change

The same blond boy sat next to her during Transfiguration.

"You never answered my question"

She raised an eyebrow.

"Why do you want to know?" He shrugged.

"I'm just curious."

"They're lords of chaos. Uncontrollable, destructive chaos. Over a trillion years old and freakishly annoying."

He scoffed.

"I've never heard of such a thing."

"That's 'cause you people practice baby magic."

"Baby magic?" He asked incredulously. She nodded.

"Real witches don't need wands or spells. Incantations work better and summoning demons or fae are superior to wandwork."

"So you do summon demons," he sneered.

"They're not all evil, if that's what you think." He just sent her a dark look and moved to another seat. Harry took his place.

"Malfoy bothering you?" She shook her head.

"Nah. Just being a nosy prick."

Deirdre cawed loudly, and she rolled her eyes.

"Go away, you lousy bird." The raven looked at her with utter contempt, and vanished with a poof of lavender smoke.

He'll never be Prince Charming He'll only do you harm again I don't mean to meddle But the devil doesn't settle

Elsewhere...

"Wha-Deirdre!" Lilith glared at her familiar. "You were supposed to look after her!"

The raven just cawed in response.

What am I, your servant?

"No, but you should be looking out for her anyway."

Creepy laughter echoed throughout the room.

"Ugh! Go away, Klair!"

The male witch laughed.

"She liked you, y'know." Lilith whirled around.

"What?!"

"Yeah. A couple years ago. When you hated the Justice Babies because they killed Amaranth." Lilith smiled.

"Ha! I told you she-"

"Liked, Lily. Past tense. Her feelings are gone now." Klarion grinned while his twin looked enraged. "She won't love you again."

No, the devil doesn't bargain

ChatGPT Role in 2023’s Mainstream Rise of AI

ChatGPT Role Impact on AI Mainstream

2023 was AI-year. After launching in November 2022, ChatGPT Role became one of the fastest-growing apps, acquiring 100 million monthly users in two months. After Bill Gates stated in January that AI will be the hot issue of the year, a number of firms launched with AI tools that could make synthetic speech and videos. Since ChatGPT role was questioned to replace Google search at the start of the year, AI has advanced.

“My focus is on thinking beyond search…Do we do something absolutely different and cooler?'” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Forbes in January.

Venture capitalists invested billions in the field due of rapid technology improvements. Microsoft’s $10 billion investment in OpenAI, now valued at $80 billion, led the way. In June, high-profile AI firm Inflection launched its AI chatbot Pi and raised $1.3 billion at $4 billion. Hugging Face, which hosts thousands of open-source AI models, was worth $4 billion a month later. Amazon stated in September that it would invest $4 billion in OpenAI rival Anthropic, which launched its conversational chatbot Claude 2.0 in July and is now worth $25 billion.

Not all AI founders have had easy fundraising. After raising $1 billion in September 2022 for its popular text-to-image AI technology Stable Diffusion, Stability AI has struggled to raise since. In June, Forbes discovered that CEO Emad Mostaque misled investors about his credentials and potential ties. Stanford detected illicit child sexual abuse material in Stable Diffusion’s training dataset in December.

The AI gold rush also created unicorns like Adept, which builds AI assistants that can browse the internet and operate software, and ChatGPT role, which 20 million people use to create and converse with AI chatbot characters like Taylor Swift and Elon Musk. Typeface, Writer, and Jasper, enterprise-focused generative AI businesses that automate email authoring and document summarization, have also received money. Google was caught off guard by the AI tool race. The internet giant unveiled its conversational AI chatbot Bard and AI model Gemini late this year.

In the past year, AI has permeated almost every aspect of existence. The most popular U.S. school districts banned ChatGPT Role because teachers believed pupils would cheat on schoolwork. Generative AI was used for notetaking, grunt work, and patient diagnosis by doctors and hospitals. Some politicians employed AI to communicate with voters, while others used generative AI to construct deep fakes of their opponents.

AI-generated content swamped the internet, raising fears about hazardous content using freely available AI techniques. Generational AI-generated fake news stories went viral on TikTok and YouTube, and nonconsensual AI-generated porn on Reddit and Etsy. While ChatGPT Role flooded the web with low-quality AI-generated content, freelancers worried they would lose their gigs to the buzzy new AI software that could produce content faster and cheaper than people.

Companies employed AI chatbots to evaluate, interview, and attract personnel, prompting concerns about biases and hazards. ChatGPT Role helped cybercriminals write malware code and monitor social media. To address these issues, Microsoft and Google engaged red teams to jailbreak and secure their AI models.

“There are still a lot of unsolved questions,” said MIT CSAIL electrical engineering and computer science professor Regina Barzila. “We need tools to discover issues and biases in these datasets and meta AI technologies to regulate AI and make us much safer with AI.”

In 2023, artists, writers, and coders sued OpenAI, Stability AI, and Anthropic for copyright infringement, claiming these technologies used their original content without license or payment. Legal analyst Edward Klaris expects these class action cases will allow the U.S. Copyright Office to adopt new nuanced AI fair use regulations in 2024.

AI transactions abound in the legal sector. Klaris, CEO and managing partner at IP rights legal company KlarisIP, said some people are outraged that their work was scraped to create training data and want to license their content to AI businesses and get paid.

After the EU AI Act sought to regulate the technology, the Biden administration issued an executive order mandating startups creating huge AI models that potentially threaten national security to notify the government. Tech firms backed the executive order, but entrepreneurs worried it would slow innovation.

“The executive order formulated principles, which is good to articulate, but it doesn’t really translate to how do we take these principles and translate them into some technology or guardrail that helps us ensure that the tool we’re using is really safe,” Barzilla said.

Artificial intelligence leaders split in 2023 about whether big businesses like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic should develop AI technologies openly or privately. Since anyone could misuse open-sourced AI models, safety concerns have been raised. Others, like Meta AI’s Chief Scientist Yann LeCun, who oversaw Llama 2’s development, support open-source AI stress testing.

Clement Delangue told a press event that open-source large language models will match closed-source models by 2024.

In late November, OpenAI’s board of directors fired CEO Sam Altman for not being “candid” with their representations, revealing an internal disagreement. After employees threatened to leave if Altman did not return, he was restored as CEO a few days later. Bret Taylor and Larry Summers joined the board as additional directors.

Delangue said the economics of AI, particularly how AI businesses will earn money and profit margins, will be the biggest questions in 2024. Since most AI models are trained on massive volumes of data using GPUs like Nvidia and AMD, they are becoming more expensive and carbon-intensive. Delangue predicted that most companies will understand that smaller, cheaper, more specialized models are better for 99% of AI use cases by 2024.

How a TV Host’s Retweet Could Change Twitter

New Post has been published on http://thefaerytale.com/how-a-tv-hosts-retweet-could-change-twitter/

How a TV Host’s Retweet Could Change Twitter

When MSNBC host Joy Reid saw a tweet decrying a racist incident this summer, she responded like many other people—she retweeted it.

The tweet in question came from an activist and showed a photo of a woman in a Make America Great Again cap appearing to berate a 14-year-old Latino boy. A caption implied she shouted “dirty Mexican” and “You are going to be the first deported,” and urged Twitter users to “spread this far and wide” because “this woman needs to be put on blast.”

Unfortunately for Reid, whose retweet broadcast the message to her 1.2 million followers, the tweet was wrong. The woman in the image, Roslyn La Liberte of Southern California, had said nothing of the sort.

The teenager in the picture later explained he and La Liberte had a civil conversation, and said the pair even hugged.

Five days after the retweet, Reid acknowledged the mistake by tweeting a news story that described what really happened:

By then, however, La Liberte had hundreds of vitriolic emails, which called her vile names and threatened to assault her. She also received menacing voicemails, including one from a man who shouted, “I will smack you upside your f**king head you stupid f***ing c**t.”

Sadly, this is all too common on Twitter: Someone posts a false and inflammatory tale, others retweet it, and an online mob descends on the unlucky target. This episode stands out, however, because La Liberte is suing Reid in federal court for allegedly defaming her with the retweet.

La Liberte may have a case. While judges have been inclined to treat inflammatory tweets (including those of Donald Trump) as opinion or hyperbole—types of speech that don’t count as defamation—that doesn’t mean you can’t libel someone on Twitter. Falsely portraying someone as a vicious racist could certainly qualify.

Reid, of course, didn’t do that. Instead, she just used Twitter’s retweet button to repeat what someone else said. The law, however, might not see a difference between tweeting and retweeting.

Lawyer Ed Klaris, who runs a media and intellectual property firm in New York, doesn’t see a distinction.

“The traditional rules of re-publication apply. You as a tweeter are very much a publisher,” says Klaris. He likens the situation to a newspaper that prints a letter to the editor that contains false and defamatory information. In such a case, the target of the letter can sue both the letter writer and the newspaper.

Or, in the context of Twitter, La Liberte can sue the author of the tweet as well as Reid for republishing it via her retweet. Klaris isn’t the only one who sees it this way; a recent Hollywood Reporter story cites lawyers who think Reid will lose the case.

If a judge agrees with this interpretation, the consequences could be enormous. A victory for La Liberte would create a new danger not only for journalists, but for many other Twitter users who inadvertently retweet false information from time to time.

Courts Silent on Retweets

La Liberte’s lawsuit doesn’t specify how much money she’s seeking over Reid’s tweet, but does state the claim is worth at least $75,000.

There’s no guarantee La Liberte will prevail, of course. In response to a request for comment, her lawyers sent a document to Fortune, which argues the case should be thrown out, and that La Liberte should pay damages for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

This isn’t just wishful thinking. Reid’s lawyers are relying on a well-known law known as the Communications Decency Act (CDA). The law, broadly speaking, says “no provider or user of an interactive computer service” can be held responsible for what other people say on an Internet platform.

Many Internet entrepreneurs have relied on the CDA as a legal foundation for their business. For instance, the law ensures Facebook isn’t responsible for criminal threats posted by its users, or that a blog owner isn’t liable for defamatory rants posted by a trollish commenter.

How the law applies to retweets is unclear, however. Even though Twitter’s retweet button has been around since 2009, no court has decided whether those who retweet defamatory claims are shielded by the Communications Decency Act.

Professor Eric Goldman, who has written extensively about the law, says retweets are clearly covered.

“It’s not even a hard case. Retweeting is just a different technical way of sharing third party content with a broader audience,” he said, citing a pair of cases involving email. In those cases, courts sided with defendants who sent or forwarded defamatory content written by a third person.

Free speech scholar Eugene Volokh, who recently published a blog post on the email cases, shares Goldman’s view. In an interview with Fortune, he added that Reid’s case is strengthened by the fact her retweet didn’t include additional comment endorsing the opinions in the tweet.

Meanwhile, the New York lawyer Klaris disagrees that a judge will let Reid use the CDA as a shield. He argues that allowing the law to protect anyone who retweets a false statement is too broad a reading, and would make the traditional republication rule meaningless.

“Taken to its logical extreme, according to the defendant’s argument, a “user” (i.e. reader) of Fortune.com could cut an entire defamatory article and paste it to her own site without changing it and not be liable for defamation,” he said. “That outcome does not make sense.”

A Bigger Role for Twitter?

As it stands, the Reid case is troubling because either outcome will produce an unsatisfactory result. If La Liberte wins, millions of people will face legal jeopardy for the commonplace act of sharing what they see on social media—a situation that would chill free speech. But if Reid wins, there is little to dissuade people from contributing to online mob behavior of the sort that dragged La Liberte through the mud.

This raises the question of whether Twitter and other online platforms should do more to stop false and defamatory information from going viral in the first place. One idea for addressing the problem—incidentally, suggested by a former Fortune editor—is a warning system would let those in Reid’s situation respond more promptly by broadcasting a correction (as Reid did but only five days later), and by removing the original retweet or shared post from their social media feeds.

This wouldn’t stop people from sharing defamatory content altogether (it’s just too easy when all it takes is clicking “retweet” or “share”) but it would certainly mitigate the problem. But would the social media companies even consider offering such a notification tool?

“This is an ongoing legal issue. We don’t have a statement to share,” said a Twitter spokesperson in response to a question about Twitter’s obligations in the Reid case.

The response is not surprising. Social media platforms have long seen policing user posts as a political minefield, and are wary of becoming arbitrators in deciding what is defamatory or fake news.

In this vacuum of authority, Klaris predicts courts may become more willing to interpret the CDA in a way that curtails the law’s protection. He acknowledged, however, that they have declined to do so in the past and that it may be a matter for Congress.

Volokh, the free speech scholar, pointed to legal precedents establishing a broad scope for the law, and says any changes should come from lawmakers, not the courts.

What can blockchain actually do for journalism?

New Post has been published on https://cryptnus.com/2018/10/what-can-blockchain-actually-do-for-journalism/

What can blockchain actually do for journalism?

The Tow Center’s blockchain event. Photo: The Tow Center

The technology that powers cryptocurrency, called blockchain, has captured the attention of newsrooms in dire need of better business models, even as societies debate the value of currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Last week, a group of technologists, journalists, legal experts, and academics gathered at the Brown Institute and the Tow Center for Digital Journalism for a series of discussions about what blockchain’s uses in journalism have taught us about this trendy new technology, and what it may hold for the media industry of the future.

Many in the industry see blockchain’s unusual properties—decentralization, instant verification and resistance to modification of data— as a set of potential solutions to the media’s woes, and some have even launched blockchain-based journalistic endeavors to put theories to test. Such early experiments—others beyond Civil include AdChain and Po.et—have been met with varying degrees of success; they also revealed new problems and concerns.

READ: Pressure increases on Bloomberg to verify its China hack story

The panelists included Vivian Schiller, CEO of the Civil Foundation, a blockchain-based media start-up, and Manoush Zomorodi, host of the ZigZag podcast. (Disclosure: Emily Bell, the Tow Center’s founding director, sits on the Civil Foundation’s governing council.) Civil functions as a platform supporting many news publications, ZigZag among them, financed by its own token the CVL, and was a major topic of discussion as well as a panelist.

Other practitioners on the day’s panels were Salah Zalatimo, head of Product & Tech team at Forbes Media, which recently started to publish on Civil, Mike Goldin, founder of AdChain, a register where users vote entries up or down with digital tokens, and Jarrod Dicker, CEO of Po.et, a token-based publishing platform. Also in the discussion were industry observers, critics and academic researchers such as Nellie Bowles of The New York Times, Eran Tromer of Columbia University, Paul Ford of Postlight, and media and IP law expert Alexia Bedat of Klaris Law.

The news industry faces two “buckets of crises” today—declining public trust and financial sustainability—, and blockchain can help address both of them, said Vivian Schiller. Many of blockchain’s properties—openness, decentralization, and the difficulty of modifying existing data—are foundational to a healthy media environment.

In theory, a network of public, cryptographically signed, identical “blocks” of data would allow journalists to authenticate content, to promote premium content, to give users ownership of data that might be used to show them advertising, and to responsibly publish and unpublish. This enticing prospect attracts both young journalists and seasoned media practitioners to various blockchain-based media initiatives. In practice, three main challenges have emerged, the panelists agreed:

ICYMI: The clause freelance writers should fight to remove from their contracts

First, blockchain technology carries a stigma for being closely associated with the volatile value and reputation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. “People hear blockchain, they think get-rich-quick schemes,” said Schiller. The fact that tokens may become targets of speculation exacerbates this problem.

Second, it remains difficult to communicate the basic facts about this abstract technology to a wider audience and convince them that it is germane to their daily lives. Panelist Manoush Zomorodi, host of the podcast ZigZag (one of the newsrooms that run on Civil), created the podcast to contribute to this effort. Zomorodi said all blockchain-based journalists must think like entrepreneurs. “As a journalist, you can’t work and go home anymore,” she said.

The last challenge is that many products and product launches are flawed due to poor product design or a lack of experiences. Unnecessary complications in any system can lead to low participation rate: Civil failed to meet its pre-set target of $8 million earlier that week. Nieman Lab’s John Keefe calculated that it takes 44 steps to purchase CVC, the token that powers Civil. Mike Goldin, founder of AdChain, a blockchain-based advertising protocol, said that early experiments have taught him that early buyers of cryptographic tokens often prove to be speculators. He suggested an alternative to an “initial coin offering” or ICO: “It’s better to identify who are the valuable members of the community and give them tokens for free,” said Goldin.

While the panelists were generally optimistic about blockchain’s potential to improve public trust in journalism, they also wondered whether the journalism industry had too hopeful a view of the blockchain-based future. Paul Ford, CEO of media software developer Postlight, who has written extensively on blockchain, compared it to the early days of the internet: “The whole thing is a giant under-construction GIF,” he said.

Panelists and audience members also raised concerns specific to blockchain, such as security threats enabled by even more advanced tools including quantum computing, though Ford suggested that “something else will get us before quantum computing does.” There are also new inequalities that may arise as result of uneven distribution of tokens—a problem exacerbated by speculation, and one that Civil has tried to address in its distribution scheme. Ultimately, the panel said, the fate of blockchain journalism may hang on on whether the community of journalists keeps asking the hard questions about how to ensure that blockchain-based journalism serves and informs the public—and that control of the technology doesn’t fall into hands of the few.

5 Social Media Opportunities that You Can't Afford to Miss

It took several years and tons of different tactics for social media marketers to find what works.

Somehow, we were able to turn the guesswork of social media into precision. What was once a chaotic digital channel has been transformed into a treasure trove of opportunity for businesses. What was once believed as a fad has now become a quick way to engage audiences and drive sales.

Unfortunately, a lot of companies still aren't tapping the opportunities that social media presents.

This article will cover five of the most-frequently neglected strategies when implementing social media campaigns.

1. You're neglecting your customers

Several years ago, businesses realized that social media wasn't just for driving new awareness and (hopefully) sales.

In fact, social media is an amazing platform for dealing with client. When a customer posts positive feedback on a company’s Facebook wall, or tweets a complaint, it becomes visible for everyone. The way brands respond (or when they don’t) will also say a lot about who they are as a company.

Brands are increasingly using social media when providing customer support. Start leveraging your social media presence to deliver happiness to your customers and build meaningful relationships with your intended audience.

How to Take Advantage of this Social Media Opportunity: Use helpdesk software that ties your social media to your customer service efforts

If you have a big audience, it may be hard to track and individually respond to thousands of queries or complaints every day. With such a tool handy, you can convert incoming Facebook messages and wall posts or tweets and direct messages on Twitter into tickets that you can log onto your helpdesk system. When you have a response ready, the response to the ticket will automatically be converted back to a Facebook message.

How to Take Advantage of this Social Media Opportunity: Create a secondary social account exclusively for real-time customer support

Cloud communications company RingCentral, for instance, has a Twitter account solely dedicated for this purpose. When customers tweet the official @RingCentral handle about an issue, a customer support rep will respond using the @RingCentralCare account to ask for more details to resolve the matter or direct them to a related thread on its user community. Aside from saving money on phone support, this also enables the brand to aggregate data such as demographics or frequency of interactions with existing customers.

2. You're not getting feedback

Market research company TNS believes that for some purposes, "social media research can do just as good a job as conventional survey research, often a lot more cheaply."

Before, it used to take days or weeks or even months to conduct surveys and gather responses from a random sample large enough for researchers to generate conclusive data.

How to Take Advantage of this Social Media Opportunity: Create a poll on Twitter

For instance, ask “What do you like best about our new product X?” and create options with radio buttons that survey takers can click on. In just a matter of seconds, you can get instant feedback from your audience – most especially if they follow your social media activity closely. Listening to social media can tell your company a lot about what you need to know about your audience, which includes customer satisfaction levels and demographic information among others. SurveyMonkey says that launching surveys and linking to them to your social media can also help make consumers reveal their unbiased opinions about your brand easily.

3. You're not tapping your full potential

Most brands would instantly choose the typical online marketing and advertising tactics for guaranteed exposure; and there’s nothing wrong with that, since these are the tried-and-tested formula for guaranteed business success.

However, these companies might be failing to realize that there’s enormous opportunity with what’s already in their backyards.

How to Take Advantage of this Social Media Opportunity: Tap your employees to widen and multiply social media reach

This is a great tactic you can employ to supplement your existing social media initiatives.

Say you have 20 employees in your organization. Imagine if each employee is able to reach out to 10 friends through social. That's 200 more eyes on your content. These connections will also probably be more meaningful since your employees are the ones “evangelizing” about your product or service to their peers. These people will be more compelled to take immediate action since the recommendations are coming from people they trust. Employee advocacy platforms such as VoiceStorm can help your company turn your employees into brand advocates; all you have to do is curate content – blog posts, videos, tutorials, announcements, whitepapers – that your employees can quickly share using their social media accounts. Employees are awarded points for what they share and there are leaderboards available for everyone to view. To keep them motivated and engaged, some companies would even give tangible rewards to people who stay on top of the leaderboards.

4. You're not combining organic and paid

Companies that heavily rely on social media strategies may become adverse to spending money on those strategies.

Some of them would try to pull off a purely organic approach in this highly competitive digital channel. They seem to be forgetting that employing a hybrid approach, that is, creating a blend of organic and paid social media efforts can be lucrative for business, too.

To learn more about the most lucrative social media advertising platform, check out "The Complete Guide to Facebook Ads [Ebook]."

How to Take Advantage of this Social Media Opportunity: Don't be afraid to lay down some coin

If you’ve been dabbling in social media long enough, you’ll know that platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and even Reddit have developed sophisticated advertising solutions that can assist you in reaching your customers better. By using these paid services, you can create multiple touchpoints with your general audience. If they’re reluctant to commit during the first contact (i.e., the first time they see your social media post or ad), you can use these advertising tools to do some retargeting until you turn them into paying customers.

And, often, when you consider the time you're spending to drive organic awareness, social media advertising can drive a better return on investment than doing it all organically.

5. Your competitors are doing cool stuff (and you missed it)

Social media is a treasure trove of insights about your competitors.

It’s a good place to find first-party data that can tell you what other companies in your niche are doing right and what mistakes they make that you can avoid.

Don’t just stare at your Twitter mentions as they come or fiddle with your Facebook Insights dashboard all day. Study the tides and learn to predict the effects their movements bring.

How to Take Advantage of this Social Media Opportunity: Watch your competitors

Sprout offers this quick guide to performing a social media competitive analysis that you might want to use. The information you’ll find after an audit might even lead you to an effective tactic you haven’t tried yet. In addition to studying other players in your space, you also shouldn’t be afraid of mentioning other brands or products whenever applicable. Aside from extending your reach to the audience you already have, you can also extend your content’s reach to those who follow the particular brand you’re mentioning.

Final thoughts

Social media presents so many opportunities to help you grow and maintain your brand presence online aside from the usual stuff everybody has been doing. But of course, as with any other digital initiative, employing any of these tactics as part of your overall strategy requires careful research and utmost dedication.

Don’t be afraid to try them out. Social media marketing success, after all, requires actual learning plus some trial and error. Just make sure to track each of your efforts to know which ones will be most effective and sustainable for your everyday grind.

Self-Proclaimed ‘Inventor Of Email’ Is Back With Another Defamation Lawsuit

Shiva Ayyadurai hasn’t been entirely successful in presenting himself as the inventor of email, as numerous experts and critics have publicly contended his claims are untrue. But one way in which Ayyadurai has truly distinguished himself is in his single-minded determination to destroy anyone who points this out. And, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Eriq Gardner, Ayyadurai has trained his attention toward TechDirt’s Mike Masnick, who has been especially relentless at asserting that Ayyaudurai’s claims are bogus. Per Gardner:

Techdirt founder Mike Masnick will be going toe-to-toe in court with Charles Harder, the Hollywood attorney who famously represented Hulk Hogan in the sex tape lawsuit that brought down Gawker.

On Wednesday, Harder’s client Shiva Ayyadurai filed a $15 million libel lawsuit in Massachusetts against Masnick, Leigh Beadon and Techdirt parent company Floor64 Inc. over articles that doubted Ayyadurai’s claim to have invented e-mail.

[Read the full complaint here.]

Yes, lest we forget, the real superstar in the campaign to extract money from media companies for reporting true things that Ayyadurai doesn’t like is the lawyer Charles Harder, who spent most of last year in the news for his role in scuttling Gawker Media at the behest of Peter Thiel — a billionaire tech investor who may not know who actually invented email.

As Gardner notes, there’s no indication that Thiel is playing any role in Ayyadurai’s legal claims against Masnick.

Ayyadurai has long claimed that he was the bona fide inventor of what we refer to as email. It’s true that he wrote code for an electronic messaging platform at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 1978, and subsequently copyrighted that software, which he referred to as “EMAIL,” four years later.

But Ray Tomlinson sent the very first email in 1971 on the U.S. Department of Defense’s ARPANET system. And, as computer scientist Larry Tesler has pointed out, researchers at Xerox PARC “were developing the Laurel email application” — which “had a modern-style paned-window user interface, an In-box and mail folders” at the same time Ayyadurai was coding his system.

Ayyadurai’s talent is not lost on anyone — including Masnick. But Masnick, in one of the articles cited in Ayyadurai’s complaint, contends that the email-invention claim goes too far:

For almost five years now, we’ve been among those explaining why Shiva Ayyadurai’s claim that he invented email is complete bullshit. It’s not true. Not even remotely. What does appear to be true is that as a fairly bright kid, Ayyadurai was working for a small college in New Jersey and he wrote an electronic messaging program for the school, which he named Email. It was not the first. It was not the last. It was nothing special. Nothing about what Ayyadurai did was new — even if he came up with the ideas entirely on his own. Basically every feature that he put in the application was previously discussed on open mailing lists and RFCs about the internet and the messaging systems that would be grafted onto it — sometimes many years earlier. Ayyadurai tries to rely on the fact that he got a copyright for his program as proof, hoping to confuse people who don’t understand the difference between a copyright and a patent. As we’ve noted in the past: Microsoft has a copyright on the “Windows” operating system. That doesn’t mean it invented windows-based graphical user interfaces (because it did not).

Nevertheless, this appears to be the hill upon which Ayyadurai has chosen to die — perhaps taking with him a number of media organizations that may have done nothing more than report true things.

Over at Fortune, Jeff John Roberts has gathered the opinion of media lawyer Ed Klaris, who said TechDirt would likely succeed if this case went to trial:

“This is a classic scientific debate, which is a cornerstone of the First Amendment, second only to political debate. Theories of who invented something as basic as email software code need to be free and open and not constrained by claims of libel,” says Klaris. He adds that TechDirt’s comments about Ayyadurai amount to rhetoric and are part of the debate, and that the claims in question are not provable.

However, as Roberts goes on to note, in order to win at trial, Masnick would have to mount a costly defense — and the cornerstone of Harder’s strategy in the Gawker cases was less about making a case at trial and more about breaking his opponents’ bank. “The expense of mounting a defense across the country may be prohibitive for [Masnick’s] small company,” Roberts writes, “while depositions and other aspects of the legal process would prove time-consuming and expensive.” (Roberts has previously written a thoroughly good explanation of the Thiel-Harder strategy.)

So that’s what’s at stake for Masnick. But what of Ayyadurai? While Harder’s client may succeed in winning a settlement from Masnick, doing so will inevitably lead to more media accounts in which his claims to have been the inventor of email will be treated roughly. In theory, this could provide Ayyadurai with further targets for attempted self-enrichment. But it would come at a cost: increasing public awareness that he’s been making unsupported assertions.

Sometimes, a legal action that seeks to keep a piece of information from the public ends up amplifying that information to such a degree that even more people find out about it. The popular name for this is “the Streisand Effect” — a reference to the singer’s 2003 lawsuit seeking to have a photo of her home removed from the internet, which of course only caused the photo to be distributed to an even wider audience. The term was coined in January 2005 — by Mike Masnick.

How a TV Host’s Retweet Could Change Twitter

New Post has been published on http://thefaerytale.com/how-a-tv-hosts-retweet-could-change-twitter/

How a TV Host’s Retweet Could Change Twitter

When MSNBC host Joy Reid saw a tweet decrying a racist incident this summer, she responded like many other people—she retweeted it.

The teenager in the picture later explained he and La Liberte had a civil conversation, and said the pair even hugged.

Five days after the retweet, Reid acknowledged the mistake by tweeting a news story that described what really happened:

Reid, of course, didn’t do that. Instead, she just used Twitter’s retweet button to repeat what someone else said. The law, however, might not see a difference between tweeting and retweeting.

Lawyer Ed Klaris, who runs a media and intellectual property firm in New York, doesn’t see a distinction.

Courts Silent on Retweets

La Liberte’s lawsuit doesn’t specify how much money she’s seeking over Reid’s tweet, but does state the claim is worth at least $75,000.

Professor Eric Goldman, who has written extensively about the law, says retweets are clearly covered.

A Bigger Role for Twitter?

“This is an ongoing legal issue. We don’t have a statement to share,” said a Twitter spokesperson in response to a question about Twitter’s obligations in the Reid case.

The response is not surprising. Social media platforms have long seen policing user posts as a political minefield, and are wary of becoming arbitrators in deciding what is defamatory or fake news.

Volokh, the free speech scholar, pointed to legal precedents establishing a broad scope for the law, and says any changes should come from lawmakers, not the courts.
