The Final Launch Of Space Shuttle Endeavour

by: Local Find - May 19th, 2011 Filed under: Google, News, Social Networks, Twitter, Videos 4 Comments

The Space Shuttle Endeavour

The Space Shuttle Endeavour which is the youngest fleet of NASA’s orbiters, rose in the morning sky on Monday to start the last mission in its career spanning 19 years. Endeavour lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center at 8:56 am EDT (1256 GMT), from Launch Pad 39A. The shuttle and its crew of six are destined for the International Space Station, where they will spend 16 days to deliver supplies and also to complete a very important astrophysics experiment.

“Looks like a great day to launch Endeavour for the final time,” launch director Mike Leinbach told the crew as the minutes and seconds ticked down to liftoff. “On behalf of thousands of proud Americans who’ve been part of the journey, good luck, godspeed, see you back here on June 1.” Endeavour commander Mark Kelly also shared some profound words just before the launch. “As Americans, we endeavor to build a better life than the generation before and we endeavor to be a united nation,” Kelly said in the final moments at the launch pad. “In these efforts we are often tested. It is in the DNA of our great country to reach for the stars and explore. We must not stop.”

The Space Shuttle Program Is Being Retired

After today, NASA has a single shuttle mission planned before the shuttles are retired forever. The previous test launch in April 2011 was canceled when a heater that is used to protect a key power unit of the shuttle had a major failure just a few hours before takeoff. Engineers traced the problem to a power supply switch box connected to the heater. They replaced the switch box and about 20 feet of cable connected to it, and performed extensive testing to ensure that the problem was solved. There were no problems with the system at today’s launch.

Watch The Video Below From PBS Newshour Showing The Entire Final Space Shuttle Endeavour Launch

Kelly is a veteran leader of the team of six, including Pilot Gregory H. Johnson and mission specialists Mike Fincke, Greg Chamitoff, Andrew Feustel, and the European Space Agency astronaut, Roberto Vittori. “I’m really excited and charged up for this mission!” Johnson tweeted on Twitter this morning. The launch was attended by a crowd of nearly 500,000 spectators, which included the wife of Commander Kelly, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Commander Kelly’s wife was back in Houston after being shot in January during a community outreach event outside a grocer in Tucson, Arizona. After the shooting, Kelly found some time to be with his wife and family, but decided in early February to continue training with the crew and to continue as the mission commander.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour Payload

Endeavour’s main payload is the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a $2 billion detector of particles that will be used to search cosmic rays that could help solve some of the most baffling cosmic mysteries, such as dark matter that is believed to be part of the universe. Besides the particle detector Endeavour is carrying a platform full of 14 000 pounds or 6350 kilograms of relief supplies to the space station, scheduled to run until at least 2020.

The final space flight scheduled for STS-135 Space Shuttle Atlantis will be later in July 2011. Where Atlantis astronauts will supply a final round of the International Space Station spare parts. After their mission, Endeavour, Atlantis and their sister orbiter Discovery are going to be sent to museums for public display. Endeavour is promised the California Science Center in Los Angeles, while Discovery will go to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and Atlantis will be displayed at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center.

Without the space shuttle program, NASA will have to pay for the travel of U.S. astronauts aboard Russian space craft until the new American option is available. NASA has sought to encourage the development of U.S. commercial spacecraft in future that will be used for carrying the future crews. Meanwhile, NASA will work to build a rocket that could carry man back to the moon, an asteroid, and eventually to the planet Mars.

Astronomical NASA Tweets On Twitter

by: Local Find - May 17th, 2011 Filed under: News, Social Networks, Twitter, Videos 1 Comment

Astronauts Using Twitter At NASA

NASA is always looking for ways to involve the public and raise awareness of what NASA do, so it was natural that NASA would consider using Twitter. NASA’s mission for Twitter is to connect and communicate with people interested in what NASA does. The NASA global social Web strategy is to think of how to do their work in different ways. Services like Twitter give them the opportunity to speak directly with an audience that might not otherwise hear about what they do.

NASA Twitter Accounts

NASA has about 50 Twitter accounts for the NASA centers, programs and projects. In addition, several NASA astronauts tweet on Twitter. Many people often tweet from various programs and project accounts, so probably more than 100 NASA employees are on Twitter. In addition, many NASA employees have their own Twitter accounts and often tweet on the work they are doing for NASA.

NASA astronaut Mike Massimino (Astro_Mike) started to Twitter in early April 2009 and was the first person to tweet from space, May 12, 2009. Nine NASA astronauts have created Twitter accounts. You can follow them on Twitter. Mike Massimino @Astro_Mike, Mark Polansky @Astro_127, Jose Hernandez @Astro_Jose, Sandy Magnus @Astro_Sandy, Tim Kopra @astro_tim, Nicole Stott @Astro_Nicole, Scott Kelly @stationcdrkelly, Mark Kelly @ShuttleCDRKelly and Jeff Williams @Astro_Jeff .

Astronauts in space have at least two down links in one day, during which they can send and receive email. The Astronauts Tweet and write then e-mail their messages to mission control on the ground who then tweet the Astronauts messages on Twitter. The public reaction to NASA Tweeting on Twitter has been excellent.

Watch The Video Below From Stephanie Schierholz – The Social Media Manager At NASA Discussing Twitter

There is a new campaign from NASA on Twitter, which includes access to the astronauts, contests and more. By using different Twitter accounts, NASA provides the world easy access to their world once reserved for only the elite, offering a view of science, discovery and the daily life of an organization established in 1958, even before most people had color TV. Following NASA and its astronauts on Twitter, you can win tickets to SpaceShuttle Tweetups, and learn more about the latest discoveries, and ask curious questions.

Social Search Engine Wars

by: Local Find - April 28th, 2011 Filed under: Bing, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, News, Social Networks, Twitter, Videos 3 Comments

Social Search Engine Wars Are Underway

Have you noticed how both Google and Bing have been active lately with the updates of social search methods in their search results ? Many traders rely heavily on traffic from search engines particularly the organic results, so it is important to stay abreast of what is happening in the landscape of search engines. More importantly, marketers need to understand where search marketing is going in relation to social search.

Search Engines Are Concentrating On Social Search

Google and Bing recently made announcements regarding the integration in the search results of content retrieved from your social circle. Google has announced expansion plans for Social search. In the first expansion in social search, Google gave the opportunity to enter search results in real time with options in their navigation. For example, you could see what people around you, said in their blog, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, and even Facebook pages.

However, these results were presented separately, accessible through the left navigation. The most recent announcement is different in that the Google social search results will be incorporated into the main search results. Another important fact is that some sites are expected to rank better or worse depending on the extent to which people have linked to its social search content through blogs or Twitter.

Currently, Google search results do not include social search “likes” from Facebook. We can only guess that Google did not have the same access to “Likes” due to the Microsoft Bing strategic relationship with Facebook. There is speculation however that this will eventually change. The impact can be huge, it is well known that people are very influenced by the opinions of others to the extent that opinions are expressed in a credible way. If our friends are online and commenting or liking content and providing feedback, these observations may have a huge influence on the potential customers selection.

Social Search Is Not New

Social search is not new, but the Semantic Web is emerging before our eyes. The competition between Google and Microsoft Bing and Facebook users will continue to offer marketing changes which should make the experience new and interesting. Even more important, is not whether people can find using social search, but it is what friends comments they find because the idea of social search is to facilitate the decision making influence. As a consumer, you want to find useful information to help you make a decision.

So the best advice we have for traders is to think like a buyer. You must be actively building a community around good product performance. The problem products or services will be the big losers. Good products with good results that are supported by the marketing community would be a real commitment and win the favor of social search engine results.

Now it is time for companies to join the movement with the idea that marketing department is not wholly responsible for the company or product performance in social search any more but in fact it is everyone’s responsibility when participating from the company or business in social media.

Are you ready to take advantage of social search? As a marketer, what do you do to reap the benefits? What worries you about Social Search? We would like to hear from you in the comments below.

Social Signals Used By Google And Bing

by: Local Find - April 27th, 2011 Filed under: Bing, Facebook, Google, News, Social Networks, Twitter, Videos 1 Comment

What Are The Social Signals Used By Google And Bing ?

As the Internet becomes the next great social experience the Web responds in kind. The two major search engines, Google and Bing, are more social now and are starting to return more social cues. The first step that started the process was the incorporation of Google Social results in their Realtime Search Results. Social Search allows Google to index certain social aspects in their search results. Social Results highlight the contents of your social circle to offer you a more personalized search experience.

Important Social Signals

Web sites, blogs, public profiles and other content related to your friends profiles on Google are important. Web content, such as updates of tweets and comments, links on Google profiles of friends and contacts. Images displayed publicly by members of your social circle and Picasa Web sites listed in your Google profile and articles related to Google Reader subscriptions. Social Signals are a visible means of seeing search results that relate to you and your social networks.

Watch The Video Below And See How Google Use Data From Social Sites In Ranking

Bing has a similar social research, which focuses on status updates and links shared from fan pages on Facebook. Shared global data link for non-fan pages, Re-designed site that shows a trend towards improvement of data items from Twitter and Facebook.

By leveraging OpenGraph using Facebook, search engines are learning how to integrate social cues in the search results, a lot of detective work occurs on the social network which is much less visible to the search user. Facebook is convinced that this means that the Web can be a number of personal connections and semantically meaningful. Socially cued means that if the search is performed and you use the Facebook “like” button then the search engine will start catering its search results to your social “likes”.

Watch The Video Below To Hear The Comments From Bing on Social Signals, Bing Mobile & Real-Time Search

Google has more than 200 algorithms, and Bing claims more than 1,000. Both companies keep their search algorithms top secret. Adding new social cues has probably added a lot of extra algorithms as well. When you are logged into Facebook, the Bing search engine not only presents the results based on what you seem to “like”, but also what their friends also “like” and Friends of friends also “like”.

Bing was able to access information more easily using the Facebook OpenGraph than Google due to the Bing and Facebook partnership. Twitter is indexed more by Google than Facebook. In fact, Twitter is a leap forward in social indexing as it will allow a concept known as social authority. Author Authority is a term that Google uses to describe authoritative people on Twitter that affect social cues. Bing calls this social authority. Authoritative voices on social networks will gather more attention in the search engine results.

Twitter has a strong impact on Google’s and also Bing’s indexing. What this means is that progress regarding the online marketing game has changed. Companies and brands will need to build strong social media profiles to still stay relevant to search engines in the future.

Participate in discussions and give good intentions of official information. This will position yourself as a thought leader, as you hope to encourage people to ask who you are and visit your small business page.
