Tag Game Tuesday Monday: 911 Lone Star Fandom Edition

It took me nearly a week to get to it, but thanks Anne @thisbuildinghasfeelings for tagging me!!!

When did you first start watching Lone Star? Who or what introduced you to the show?

Funnily enough, I was watching the Super Bowl in 2020 and was folding laundry when they showed a promo from Lone Star and it was the part where they were talking to the old lady and I heard "Sure ma'am but just so you know I'm a homosexual" and I looked up because that was VERY random for a commercial to say and I the rest of the scene aired and I thought it was one of the best things I've ever seen lmao.

I actually did not start watching the show until 1x08 when TK got shot and I was HOOKED. I remember having to miss the season 1 finale to go to the grocery and checking my twitter account to see if Tarlos got together in the end ajkdhafdas

Which season is your favorite?

Season 3!

I'll never forget the EXPERIENCE that Push was. I was on a whole rollercoaster of emotions and I remember watching the TK waking up and Grace giving birth montage live and when it went off, my husband sitting behind me and very quietly going "whoa." We were both SHOOK. And then the proposal happened in 3x18 and I slunk off my couch because I was dying happily.

I think my rank is 3, 4 bc of the wedding and SOULMATES!!!, 2, and then 1. I really did like season 2 but you can tell Tim kind of bum rushed the ending dalkhdf

Who is your favorite character? (Bonus: If you answered TK or Carlos, who is your favorite besides them?)

TK and Carlos will always be number one and I cannot pick a favorite between them. They're both so complex and interesting.

I think my second favorite has got to be Tommy. She always just *fit* in the show better than Michelle and I think she's hilarious and smart and her friendship with Grace and Judd are my favorites. Plus, I love how she and Owen play off each other.

Top five episodes. Go!

Push - nothing will ever top this I'm afraid

Bad Call

Saving Grace

Red vs Blue- LET THEM HAVE FUNNY QUIRKY EPISODES LIKE THIS BUT MORE CARLOS

In Sickness and Health

If you could pick any character to be given a "begins" episode, who would it be and what would that episode look like?

After season 4- I kind of NEED a Carlos one. I always want one and I think we learned a lot about him last season, but 4x18 opened a lot more questions about his childhood for me. Especially since he genuinely doesn't seem to remember a lot of the good times with his dad and it makes me curious if there is some underlying reason why other than just distance as he grew up.

But also NANCY. What is her backstory?? Her dad told her to start saving when she was little and she has thousands of dollars that she can lend out?? I want to know if there is more to it! And how did she get her start? Was she with the original 126 paramedic squad?

What is a scenario or storyline that you would like to see in season 5?

Obviously Gabriel's murder being solved and it would be great if Tarlos did it TOGETHER. And if one of them is in dangerous peril at the same time in front of the other- would not complain. I'm all for a "being threated and stalked" kind of storyline- I was thinking of along the lines of The Watcher by @ladytessa74 I want to be scared!! And to watch them be scared and IN LOVE AND A TEAM

I saw this earlier, but an episode from like B-shifts POV. You know that Owen and the firefam respond to the most INSANE calls, so I want to see what B shift and Captain Harper's POV is towards A shift. I think it would be hilarious.

Also- give me some silliness within the Catan Crew. Like maybe someone gets a little TOO into a game and then we have an episode of them all pranking each other or a little funny divide- similar to 4x16, but without them actually fighting.

What do you think is going on in this still?

It's Ghost face from Scream asking Carlos what his favorite scary movies are

:)

I think it's either about Gabriel's murder or them finding out that Robert is dead. Rob Lowe said we'd see part of that day so I wonder if we will see the aftermath since I don't think Robert necessarily died within a week after the wedding.

We all know about the elusive 5x05 spicy scene that has been teased, so what is your prediction for how it could possibly top 1x02?

I think it could DEF be some *spicy* shower sex. If TK get's injured in 504, Carlos should help make him feel all nice and healed in the SHOWER

Where was the Tarlos honeymoon in your mind?

I think somewhere in Texas like Galveston. It's not too far away, but I think it's far enough to where TK and Carlos would feel okay leaving both their parents for a short trip. I headcanon that they spent A LOT of money on a quick 8 week wedding *cries in timeline* and so they'd have to save up for a bigger and longer honeymoon.

Shoutout one of your favorite fan creations.

I HAVE SO MANY SO I AM SO SORRY IF I FORGET TO MENTION. It's hard to me to count my favorite stories beacuse I think this fandom has so many. I usually put them on my kindle when I'm traveling so I can reread on a long road trip and read in between the Pluto TV commercials during my long treadmill runs.

I just found my password for Ao3 that i created in 2015 (i was a fanfiction.net OG and live journal girly lol really dating myself) so I am currently making my way through reviewing @welcometololaland's ALTA and I have so many other ones to review as well! @strandnreyes, @reyesstrand, @paperstorm, @carlos-in-glasses, @ladytessa74, @rmd-writes , @goodways, @heartstringsduet , @liminalmemories21 , @lemonlyman-dotcom and literally so many more. I love going back and rereading fics on my work breaks now I'm back from leave and now that I have my password back, I plan on continuing that!!

I love gifsets by @guardian-angle22, @lutavero, @reasonandfaithinharmony, and more!

Also Anne's @thisbuildinghasfeelings cross-stitch!! Literally SO FREAKING COOL.

If I forgot you, I am so sorry. But if you write or make art or anything else in this fandom- just know that I am obsessed with everything you do :) I've just been silently stalking this fandom since like 2020

[best-habsburg-monarch]

Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor, reigned 1765-1790

The tags keep calling him a poor meow meow From anon: "I mean... Does this dude even NEED propaganda?! If this guy doesn't make you root for an absolute monarch, then noone will. Like with the caveat that enlightened absolutism is still absolutism and thus still not a GOOD way to run a state - well, Joseph II. was truly the most enlightened of absolutists. Just the fact that he abolished serfdom and instituted religious tolerance in Habsburg domains is enough to make him stand far above all of his predecessors and successors. Like, all of the other contestants can go home. None of them could ever top that (Franz Joseph I. had several opportunities, but wasn't keen on taking them). Even his other reforms were at worst misguided, but driven by genuine desire to better his country. Plus, you have to feel bad for him - the poor guy busted his ass for the country, just to have to take back a lot of his reforms simply because they were too ahead of their time, both of his marriages were unhappy (partially his own fault, but only partially) and, lest we forget, both of his kids died young. Voting for him is the least you can do for my poor baby!" anti-Joseph II, from anon: Joseph II anti propaganda cheated like hell and treated his nephew Franz I (II) really mean by denying him company and food sometimes and also insulting him all the time. only good thing about him was that he was in Amadeus (1984) which was a banger film

Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, reigned 1831-1889

This time with the beard From anon: "1: The Glorious Beard. Now that is the beard of an emperor. Small children could get lost in it while sharing their Christmas wishlists. 2: Under his monarchy Slavery was abolished without a civil war (whistles innocously in how long it took) 3: Pedro de Alcântara João Carlos Leopoldo Salvador Bibiano Francisco Xavier de Paula Leocádio Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga is an amazingly long full name"

[inchidentally]

some of my trickier asks or things I want to keep out of the tags

[link was a twitter post saying they wanted to get rid of Oscar to have car|ando back together at McLaren]

AFASFGHLASHFL babe even as a car|ando person I have to let you vent that out because that is possibly the most cringe thing I have seen since maybe 2016. I am fully expecting DTS to do another segment on car|ando and frame it so that McLaren and Lando want Oscar to leave because he doesn't touch Lando enough on camera or use nonstop gay innuendo. forget teammates valuing respect for each other and piling up McLaren's hardware cabinet, why oh why won't Oscar tackle Lando to the ground or talk about dicks and balls with him for fancams 😭

sorry anon I'm just cutting off that last part bc I don't want to attract any discourse about it to my blog <3 but yeah I honestly find it baffling that car|ando ended up being the larry ship for F1 fandom when Carlos of his own volition chose to leave after one season?? if they were real life a couple and wanting sex all the time surely staying on the same team would make sense and that he wouldn't go to Ferrari and immediately start acting more like a besotted, handsy husband with Charles than he ever did with Lando yet no one thinks they're secretly married. why didn't he do like Daniel and stick it out with McLaren even during bad times to stay with Lando if real life couple

and straight up they're not only disregarding everything that Oscar has brought to McLaren and promises for the future ! they're deciding that Pato is disposable too. I say this as a semi fake fan but even I wouldn't base my predictions about contract negotiations on rpf.

<3 thankfully it isn't all of us car|ando people who go too far but it feels like the other side are getting louder and louder

honestly I can boil my two main issues with the car|andoisreal brigade to three points:

misogyny and publicly targeted hate toward their real life girlfriends who they actually do have sex with/have romantic feelings for and who they openly choose to be around at the exclusion of their sports bromance friend

this particular brand of car|ando revolving entirely around Lando being conveniently stripped of a personality apart from giggling so he can be handy insert for women desperate to have Carlos for themselves

bringing 1D shipping into yet another new fandom and basically rinse and repeat with Carlos and Lando's names inserted in the [namexname] box

I know that a lot of us car|ando folks are nothing to do w this garbage and the good thing is that usually these people take themselves out either by pissing off the men involved in the ship or getting bored waiting for their fake ship to "become canon" finding a new rpf ship to latch onto.

oh and I do know that the person who made the office meme about Lando saying the podium thing intended it solely as a joke but it found the Other Side real fast and they genuinely put it in their dossiers of car|ando vs |andoscar. which I don't get for many reasons but also if they think Carlos and Lando are in a secret gay relationship and Lando doesn't even like Oscar then why the need to keep going seeee seeeeee he loves Carlos not Oscarrrrr aslfhsalfhslahf jesus christ why am I even trying to rationalize this

thing is I don't want any more of this on my blog or in our part of fandom so I'm going to limit how much of any asks I'll answer about it. I don't at all mind if people need to vent but jsyk I might not always post it publicly.

I'd recommend blocking and not engaging with it to everyone else too. I might curb how much car|ando is on my blog for a while just because it's so embarrassing to be associated with the grown ass women stalking Rebecca/Carlos content and flooding it with car|ando comments.

Dreamwatch: REMember (Match 1)

Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: Takaya Kiryu/Johnny McLaren/Katsu Himuro/Yamato Ryukawa vs Shota Inaba/Keiichiro Asakawa/Ewan Jacobs/Tatsuya Mido (Click here to watch!)

We start off this historic show with a huge tag match! Four of Dreamwatch's most promising talents face off against a litany of mystery opponents! Who knows what could happen in this match? Who will stand out?!

Short answer: Everyone. Everyone stood out. From the first minute of the match we knew we were in for a wild night when MMA fighter Shota Inaba decided to try and burn Ryukawa with fire! Ryukawa has faced off against Carlos Gomez in the past so he was more prepared for something like this than expected, ducking out the way despite being visibly shaken. From there the match was chaotic and frenetic, while simultaneously showing off the best qualities of every participant. Ryukawa's strategy, McLaren's striking prowess, Kiryu's speed, and Himuro's overwhelming intensity were all on full display as if they hadn't been on a hiatus at all! The enemy team was not willing to be stood up, though, as Tatsuya Mido provided the power and intensity of the team, even seeming to match Himuro's at times! Along with him was the heart and explosiveness of Keiichiro Asakawa. These two have only shown us Dreamwatch fans a glimpse of what they can do, but they did look promising out there! Ewan Jacobs looked like he came to do business, getting in the ring and hitting straightforward world-class punches like only a top-level MMA fighter can. Along with him was... "MMA fighter" Shota Inaba, who shocked everyone with his antics! Perhaps you expected a shoot fighter like Jacobs, but instead Inaba's most notable moments were breathing fire and pulling out a scythe to cut Himuro and bust him open! A wildcard to say the least!

As the match rolled on, the opposing team did well and even got off two eliminations, but the Dreamwatch team was too solid all the way through to take a loss here. Team Dreamwatch takes the victory in a chaotic and very fun opening match!

-POST MATCH COMMENTS-

*Ryukawa, Kiryu, and Himuro share a long, uncomfortable look at each other. Himuro then glances over to McLaren and the two share a look. There is no talking for a significant amount of time*

Himuro: *shoving Kiru and Ryukawa out of the way to get closer to the camera* This is the first show back and this is what you give to me. Those opponents... One of them tried to make me bleed to make a name for himself. He's an embarrassment. My heart pumps, and I have more heart than his frail body can muster. He made me bleed with his dulled tools, but I'd grind him into the ground with my bare hands. Also that shitty white-haired guy? He tried to be big and bad and he got embarrassed. Get these pieces of shit out of my ring and don't invite them back. Dreamwatch isn't a game, Dreamwatch isn't big paychecks. Dreamwatch is me. Don't step to the strongest if you're not strong. I'm done here. *Shoves his teammates out of the way to walk off-screen*

Takaya Kiryu: One legend, seven losers. This ain't a welcome party in my book. Let's not forget that I'm the most successful wrestler in Dreamwatch, I've beaten one of the most successful wrestlers in this business is under ten minutes, and yet I'm being put on the same level with the biggest disappointments in this company, facing a comedy act of a team. Gonna need a bit more love around here, considering I'm literally carrying the company on my back. I better be getting paid more than Ryukawa, at least. *Kiryu prepares to take his leave before stopping and turning to McLaren* Also... Johnny, right? I noticed the orange gear. You looking for my attention? Now that we're back, show me what you can do, yeah? I'm watching. *Kiryu takes his exit*

McLaren: I need new gear...

Yamato Ryukawa: We need to step it up now that we're back! My last big match resulted in a loss that cost me in a big way, and it seems like they're trying to replace us with... Whatever those guys were *laughs* It didn't work though, even though admittedly that Keiichiro guy... I've heard of him and he was pretty strong. Mido too... Regardless, I need to change my focus. There's still a struggle for supremacy in Dreamwatch, and no offense to you Johnny, I'm the only one that can stand at the top by the end of this. Now that I managed to avoid having my hair burned off of my head for the second time, I'll at least look good when I get there.

Johnny McLaren: Its good to be back everybody! I was getting ready to fight in the Blood Crown tournament before the hiatus, and I'm assuming that that's still going on, and the look on Ryukawa's face tells me he forgot...

Yamato Ryukawa: Sorry!

Johnny McLaren: I hope you've been working on those leg locks. I don't want to have a rival that's lost a step. No point in beating you then. Anyway, now that Dreamwatch is back its time to begin the long crawl. When I first got here, people didn't think much of me, and during the hiatus I meditated and thought back on how things went, and I can tell I'm in the right direction. Dreamwatch fans, get loud! Johnny's back baby!

--

Tatsuya Mido: Dreamwatch, huh... They ain't as tough as all the hype makes them seem. That hiatus makes it seem like you boys and girls are all crumbling under your own weight. Perfect opportunity for someone like me to swoop in and take over the whole operation. You need someone strong running things here. Invite me back, Dreamwatch. I dare you.

Shota Inaba: Look what I did to your boy, Dreamwatch! Look what I did to him! That win means nothing, that wasn't a real fight, but I let a present for that bitch! *holds up the sickle he used in the match to cut Himuro* A little souvenir from the baddest fighter on Earth! Nobody can touch me! If I see that tall fucker again I'll carve his ass up! See me one on one, boy!

Ewan Jacobs: That guy's an idiot but I like his energy! Anyway you already know who I am and if you don't you need to wake up and watch some world-class fighters instead of the bums you got here. It's Ewan Jacobs, the most infamous man in sports. Pro wrestling rules are dumb. Over the top rope eliminations, three second pins... idiotic rules for idiotic people and their low-life fans. Pro Wrestling is the most pathetic-

Keiichiro Asakawa: *Shoves Jacobs to the ground* Oy! Watch your damn mouth!

The Huge Dangers Of Big Facts In Sports activities

On the pinnacle degree, Huge Facts and analytics are now firmly embedded across most foremost Sports activities. Athletes and coaches are in step with the idea that the extra they could measure and analyze, the more they can enhance performance.

And of the route that is authentic. What they consume, how they carry out inside the gymnasium or at the pitch, and the way they sleep, all impact on achievement. However gathering Statistics in the extent and depth this is vital to make accurate predictions carries its very own Risks.

What if the Information falls into the incorrect fingers? How valuable could certain statistics for your superstar players’ every heartbeat, breath, and repetition within the gymnasium be? Not most effective ought to it allow them to increase techniques to make the most their weaknesses, it would deliver them insider market knowledge whilst it comes to buying and selling.

These are capability Dangers that Sports activities groups are regularly leaving themselves open to, by means of failing to don’t forget Information security as part of their average Facts strategy, Sian John, a safety expert at Symantec, tells me.

Sian, who has worked with teams which includes Williams F1 and the London Irish rugby union squad to enhance Records protection, stated “There’s a whole lot of Information being accrued by way of devices, and in common with how the Internet of things normally works, it’s being evolved via producers who are experts in creating Sports activities technological know-how era, However, they aren’t necessarily thinking about the assault vectors.”

Of course, Sports teams have constantly used sorts of surveillance to study their fighters. However, because the procedure traditionally involves sending scouts to video games, or watching hours of video re-runs, while meticulously making notes by using a hand on people’ overall performance, get entry to the “fireplace hose” of Statistics accrued all through education could offer a massive quick cut.

The other important problem is the unfair insider understanding that an opposing crew should advantage inside the switch markets, with illicitly-received Statistics on their opponents. even as in-sport performance Records can be obtained via statement, athlete training and life-style Statistics is more difficult for an outside party to get maintain of. This Statistics isn’t generally launched into the public area (instead of in-game overall performance Facts, which is broadly broadcast with the aid of the media) But would certainly be very precious for some other crew seeking to advantage a bonus whilst it comes to shopping for and promoting gamers. Finding out, as an instance, that a particular player is not that exceptional at recuperating from damage should effect their charge, and if No longer everyone has access to the same Records, it isn’t a degree playing field.

So where is the answer going to return from? Well, it’s truely already here, consistent with John. The gear had to ensure Facts can be accumulated accurately and stored best in the arms of people who its supposed for are already to be had. The trouble is that outside of a few relatively Information-pushed Sports, which includes Method One, maximum golf equipment, and teams just aren’t conscious enough of the risks to have carried out them.

“The technology is to be had,” she says, “It’s approximately ensuring the teams positioned it in the area. Statistics can be secured with passwords and encryption. It’s about setting the proper precautions in area But doing it inside the proper manner so that the Facts is still useable.”

Running in, among others, the particular Sports I highlighted above – Rugby and Formula One – has given John an overview of both ends of the spectrum, in phrases of the level of threat that teams face.

But, the Sports Having a bet Champ has additionally brought us different valuable products.

The Challenges Facing Tomorrow's Marketer: 3 Biggest Themes From Intelligent Content Conference: What a brain-tingling few days of sessions and hallway chats we had at last week's Intelligent Content Conference, my sixth ICC in a row. More than 400 content professionals from 20 countries gathered for three days of nonstop conversation about the future that's upon us. If I touched on every theme that emerged from this year's ICC, you'd never make it to the end of this post. For now, I'll zoom out to identify three main challenges that emerged – things that you, tomorrow's marketer, need to do to take your career and this profession to the next level: Step up your partnerships with geeky colleagues. Create possibilities with content technology. Make content that makes a difference. Want to take on these challenges? Here's a peek into what it takes. As always, thank you to all attendees and sponsors for joining us, and thanks to my colleagues on the CMI editorial team – my extra eyes and ears – for their input on this article. Step up your partnerships with geeky colleagues A lot goes into creating content that combines the wonders of technology with human capability in a way that powerfully supports an organization's goals – in short, intelligent content. While we marketers must help lead the way, we can't do it alone. We need to prepare ourselves to work with at least three types of colleagues who don't exist yet in many companies: content strategists, content engineers, and data scientists. Create content that combines technology's wonders with human capability, says @MarciaRJohnston. #intelcontentClick To Tweet Here's a quick take on each role: Content strategist – a person who advises organizations on all aspects of treating content as an asset, including “planning for the creation, delivery, and governance of useful, usable content,” according to Kristina Halvorson's well-known definition Content engineer – a person who sets up an organization's content-delivery systems Data scientist – a “business analyst on steroids” who “wrangles data sources into something that can be used for business intelligence,” as ICC speaker and content strategist Buddy Scalera puts it HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: 10 Content Marketing Roles for the Next 10 Years ‪‪Create possibilities with content technology While the future of content technology is sometimes described as a clash of people vs. machines, with artificial intelligence poised to eliminate our jobs, ICC speakers emphasized the opportunity to build a future of people plus machines. Several speakers, in fact, drove home the point that we're the ones – marketers and business strategists, not the IT folks – who need to lead the way in our organizations. Yes, I'm talking to you. You who don't feel ready to lead the way. This challenge is not about being ready. It's about jumping in before you feel ready, taking on questions, creating things, and learning as you go. It's about creating the future. Ready or not, we are all competing in an algorithm economy – or “algo economy,” as ICC speaker Chuck Parker referred to it. The algo economy includes fascinating, inspiring things happening with intelligent content in forward-thinking companies where marketers, content strategists, content engineers, and data scientists work together to produce results. Here's a sampling of what we heard at the conference: IBM's Pavan Arora updated us on how the artificial-intelligence agent Watson is revolutionizing the analysis and delivery of content in more and more industries. The Washington Post's Sam Han shared insights into how the newspaper's artificial-intelligence agent, Heliograf, automates aspects of storytelling in the realm of journalism, creating accurate, compelling, and timely content at a volume that would be impossible with a human-only staff. (Read more about this below.) LinkedIn's Katrina Neal urged us to explore our content-related data, to base our decisions on evidence, and to become our own “head of experimentation.” Explore your content-related data to base your decisions on evidence, says @katrina_neal. #intelcontentClick To Tweet Wil Reynolds of Seer urged marketers to take advantage of Google's big-data-driven autocomplete dropdowns to quickly discover the most common questions related to the topics your organization is – or should be – addressing. Paul Roetzer, the creator of the Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute (who had everybody tweeting “AI is the engine, content is the fuel”), helped us appreciate that machines can discover big stories hidden in data. Artificial Intelligence is the engine, content is the fuel, says @paulroetzer. #intelcontentClick To Tweet IBM's Andrea Ames reminded us that content automation is in its early stages and that now is a good time for marketers to “get in.” Joe Pairman, Val Swisher, Noz Urbina, James Mathewson, Cathy McKnight, and others created a chorus of “No more content blobs!” The need for structured content strategically tagged with appropriate metadata came through in talk after talk. Ryan Bell gave example after example of virtual reality as a tool for creating powerful story experiences. “Make your mark. We're entering a renaissance of storytelling. VR needs you.” Here's one example from the many we heard about. The Washington Post has been creating some mind-blowing possibilities for the use of technology in scaling up its news reporting without sacrificing excellence. Its teams have developed an “intelligent, automated storytelling agent,” which they affectionately refer to as Heliograf, a name that combines “heliograph” (a message-sending device) and “graf” (“paragraph” in journalism lingo). The @washingtonpost is creating mind-blowing possibilities for use of tech in reporting, says @MarciaRJohnston.Click To Tweet Editors in the Post's newsroom have worked closely with data scientist Sam Han to test and monitor the newspaper's automated content processes and outputs. Staff journalists take pains to make sure that machine-generated content meets editorial standards for accuracy and readability. As the Post has experimented with algorithms that enable timely, personalized news updates at an unprecedented scale, many behind-the-scenes lessons have been learned. Trust in automated content has been hard won among the journalists. Sam and his team started small and worked up to computer-aided coverage of such massive events as the Olympics and the United States presidential election. You may be thinking, “That's all well and good for The Washington Post. We don't have a Sam Han at my company.” Right. Most of us don't. Here's the thing. Many of your colleagues don't know that people like Sam exist. So what can you do? Raise awareness within your company of the potential that others don't see yet. Share what you're learning. Think creatively. Consider the kind of possibilities that your company could create by experimenting with content technology in your own powerful ways. Step up the difference your content makes In addition to getting tight with our geeky counterparts and getting creative about future uses of content technology, a third challenge came up often and with passion: Marketers must focus not on output but on outcomes. Content must have an impact – for our businesses and for the world – or it's not worth bothering with. And automation, done well, multiplies the difference our content makes. Content must have an impact, or it's not worth bothering with, says @MarciaRJohnston. #intelcontentClick To Tweet Here are a few examples of ICC speakers who touched on this theme: Chuck Parker urged content professionals to “have a big reason for doing what you're doing” and “make a big, big, big difference.” Andrea Fryrear walked attendees though how to use Agile methodology, which helps marketers prioritize the stories that have the most impact. Buddy Scalera talked about choosing content metrics that assess changes in audience behavior – real behavior, not clicks. Choose content metrics that assess changes in audience behavior — not clicks, says @BuddyScalera. #intelcontentClick To Tweet Carlos Abler described a mobile app – Aponjon (“the dear one”) – that millions of Bangladeshi mothers are using that is helping reduce maternal and infant morbidity. Katrina Neal mentioned the coupling of content and philanthropy, citing, for example, DonorsChoose.org. Robert Rose, Theresa Regli, Ryan Bell, Chuck Parker, and others reminded us that however much value machines may add to our content, our audiences still need all the human wisdom, emotion, and empathy we can muster. How can content make a difference for businesses? What are some ways that content can make a difference for your business? This slide from Carlos Abler's talk shows many types of value content can add: Click to enlarge How can content make a difference for the world? As for ways that our technology-amplified content can make a difference in the world, a number of ICC speakers gave examples. Some came from Ryan Bell's talk. Ryan showed us how virtual-reality technology puts people in others' shoes, creating a potential for much greater impact than other modes of storytelling. This slide shows members of the United Nations wearing VR headsets, vicariously experiencing what life is like for kids in Syria. As much as automation and data are transforming our work as content professionals, we can't let tools and numbers distract us from what makes our content worth scaling up in the first place. In what may have been the most retweeted quotation of the conference, Robert Rose made the point this way: “Don't get so wrapped up in the data that you forget the story.” Don't get so wrapped up in the data that you forget the story, says @Robert_Rose. #intelcontentClick To Tweet So when people ask what you do, don't say, “I make content.” As ICC made clear over and over, what you make – what we all need to make in bigger and bigger ways with the help of technology – is a difference. HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: How Virtual Reality Could Change Content Marketing What can marketers do right now? If you feel daunted by all this talk of intelligent content, you're not alone. It's a lot to take in. And this article merely scratches the surface. You might wonder where to start. How can we non-experts get ready to put machines to work for our organizations so that our content can make a difference? In wrapping up his talk, Paul Roetzer suggested the following three types of action: Evaluate repetitive, manual marketing tasks that could be intelligently automated. Assess opportunities to get more out of your data. For example, consider how data might enable your organization to discover insights, predict outcomes, devise strategies, personalize content, and tell stories at scale. Consider the artificial-intelligent capabilities of your marketing technology, and explore the potential of emerging AI solutions. Ready? Of course not. Still, get set. Go! Conclusion A note left behind on a table after Chuck Parker's talk sums up ICC as well as anything could: “If you're going to be replaced by a bot, at least be aware of it.

The Challenges Facing Tomorrow’s Marketer: 3 Biggest Themes From Intelligent Content Conference

What a brain-tingling few days of sessions and hallway chats we had at last week’s Intelligent Content Conference, my sixth ICC in a row. More than 400 content professionals from 20 countries gathered for three days of nonstop conversation about the future that’s upon us.

If I touched on every theme that emerged from this year’s ICC, you’d never make it to the end of this post. For now, I’ll zoom out to identify three main challenges that emerged – things that you, tomorrow’s marketer, need to do to take your career and this profession to the next level:

Step up your partnerships with geeky colleagues.

Create possibilities with content technology.

Make content that makes a difference.

Want to take on these challenges? Here’s a peek into what it takes.

As always, thank you to all attendees and sponsors for joining us, and thanks to my colleagues on the CMI editorial team – my extra eyes and ears – for their input on this article.

Step up your partnerships with geeky colleagues

A lot goes into creating content that combines the wonders of technology with human capability in a way that powerfully supports an organization’s goals – in short, intelligent content. While we marketers must help lead the way, we can’t do it alone. We need to prepare ourselves to work with at least three types of colleagues who don’t exist yet in many companies: content strategists, content engineers, and data scientists.

Create content that combines technology’s wonders with human capability, says @MarciaRJohnston. #intelcontent Click To Tweet

Here’s a quick take on each role:

Content strategist – a person who advises organizations on all aspects of treating content as an asset, including “planning for the creation, delivery, and governance of useful, usable content,” according to Kristina Halvorson’s well-known definition

Content engineer – a person who sets up an organization’s content-delivery systems

Data scientist – a “business analyst on steroids” who “wrangles data sources into something that can be used for business intelligence,” as ICC speaker and content strategist Buddy Scalera puts it

‪‪Create possibilities with content technology

While the future of content technology is sometimes described as a clash of people vs. machines, with artificial intelligence poised to eliminate our jobs, ICC speakers emphasized the opportunity to build a future of people plus machines. Several speakers, in fact, drove home the point that we’re the ones – marketers and business strategists, not the IT folks – who need to lead the way in our organizations.

Yes, I’m talking to you. You who don’t feel ready to lead the way. This challenge is not about being ready. It’s about jumping in before you feel ready, taking on questions, creating things, and learning as you go.

It’s about creating the future.

Ready or not, we are all competing in an algorithm economy – or “algo economy,” as ICC speaker Chuck Parker referred to it. The algo economy includes fascinating, inspiring things happening with intelligent content in forward-thinking companies where marketers, content strategists, content engineers, and data scientists work together to produce results.

Here’s a sampling of what we heard at the conference:

IBM’s Pavan Arora updated us on how the artificial-intelligence agent Watson is revolutionizing the analysis and delivery of content in more and more industries.

The Washington Post’s Sam Han shared insights into how the newspaper’s artificial-intelligence agent, Heliograf, automates aspects of storytelling in the realm of journalism, creating accurate, compelling, and timely content at a volume that would be impossible with a human-only staff. (Read more about this below.)

LinkedIn’s Katrina Neal urged us to explore our content-related data, to base our decisions on evidence, and to become our own “head of experimentation.”

Explore your content-related data to base your decisions on evidence, says @katrina_neal. #intelcontent Click To Tweet

Wil Reynolds of Seer urged marketers to take advantage of Google’s big-data-driven autocomplete dropdowns to quickly discover the most common questions related to the topics your organization is – or should be – addressing.

Paul Roetzer, the creator of the Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute (who had everybody tweeting “AI is the engine, content is the fuel”), helped us appreciate that machines can discover big stories hidden in data.

Artificial Intelligence is the engine, content is the fuel, says @paulroetzer. #intelcontent Click To Tweet

IBM’s Andrea Ames reminded us that content automation is in its early stages and that now is a good time for marketers to “get in.”

Joe Pairman, Val Swisher, Noz Urbina, James Mathewson, Cathy McKnight, and others created a chorus of “No more content blobs!” The need for structured content strategically tagged with appropriate metadata came through in talk after talk.

Ryan Bell gave example after example of virtual reality as a tool for creating powerful story experiences. “Make your mark. We’re entering a renaissance of storytelling. VR needs you.”

Here’s one example from the many we heard about. The Washington Post has been creating some mind-blowing possibilities for the use of technology in scaling up its news reporting without sacrificing excellence. Its teams have developed an “intelligent, automated storytelling agent,” which they affectionately refer to as Heliograf, a name that combines “heliograph” (a message-sending device) and “graf” (“paragraph” in journalism lingo).

The @washingtonpost is creating mind-blowing possibilities for use of tech in reporting, says @MarciaRJohnston. Click To Tweet

Editors in the Post’s newsroom have worked closely with data scientist Sam Han to test and monitor the newspaper’s automated content processes and outputs. Staff journalists take pains to make sure that machine-generated content meets editorial standards for accuracy and readability.

As the Post has experimented with algorithms that enable timely, personalized news updates at an unprecedented scale, many behind-the-scenes lessons have been learned. Trust in automated content has been hard won among the journalists. Sam and his team started small and worked up to computer-aided coverage of such massive events as the Olympics and the United States presidential election.

You may be thinking, “That’s all well and good for The Washington Post. We don’t have a Sam Han at my company.” Right. Most of us don’t. Here’s the thing. Many of your colleagues don’t know that people like Sam exist.

So what can you do? Raise awareness within your company of the potential that others don’t see yet. Share what you’re learning. Think creatively. Consider the kind of possibilities that your company could create by experimenting with content technology in your own powerful ways.

Step up the difference your content makes

In addition to getting tight with our geeky counterparts and getting creative about future uses of content technology, a third challenge came up often and with passion: Marketers must focus not on output but on outcomes.

Content must have an impact – for our businesses and for the world – or it’s not worth bothering with. And automation, done well, multiplies the difference our content makes.

Content must have an impact, or it’s not worth bothering with, says @MarciaRJohnston. #intelcontent Click To Tweet

Here are a few examples of ICC speakers who touched on this theme:

Chuck Parker urged content professionals to “have a big reason for doing what you’re doing” and “make a big, big, big difference.”

Andrea Fryrear walked attendees though how to use Agile methodology, which helps marketers prioritize the stories that have the most impact.

Buddy Scalera talked about choosing content metrics that assess changes in audience behavior – real behavior, not clicks.

Choose content metrics that assess changes in audience behavior — not clicks, says @BuddyScalera. #intelcontent Click To Tweet

Carlos Abler described a mobile app – Aponjon (“the dear one”) – that millions of Bangladeshi mothers are using that is helping reduce maternal and infant morbidity.

Katrina Neal mentioned the coupling of content and philanthropy, citing, for example, DonorsChoose.org.

Robert Rose, Theresa Regli, Ryan Bell, Chuck Parker, and others reminded us that however much value machines may add to our content, our audiences still need all the human wisdom, emotion, and empathy we can muster.

How can content make a difference for businesses?

What are some ways that content can make a difference for your business? This slide from Carlos Abler’s talk shows many types of value content can add:

How can content make a difference for the world?

As for ways that our technology-amplified content can make a difference in the world, a number of ICC speakers gave examples. Some came from Ryan Bell’s talk. Ryan showed us how virtual-reality technology puts people in others’ shoes, creating a potential for much greater impact than other modes of storytelling. This slide shows members of the United Nations wearing VR headsets, vicariously experiencing what life is like for kids in Syria.

As much as automation and data are transforming our work as content professionals, we can’t let tools and numbers distract us from what makes our content worth scaling up in the first place. In what may have been the most retweeted quotation of the conference, Robert Rose made the point this way: “Don’t get so wrapped up in the data that you forget the story.”

Don’t get so wrapped up in the data that you forget the story, says @Robert_Rose. #intelcontent Click To Tweet

So when people ask what you do, don’t say, “I make content.” As ICC made clear over and over, what you make – what we all need to make in bigger and bigger ways with the help of technology – is a difference.

HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: How Virtual Reality Could Change Content Marketing

What can marketers do right now?

If you feel daunted by all this talk of intelligent content, you’re not alone. It’s a lot to take in. And this article merely scratches the surface.

You might wonder where to start. How can we non-experts get ready to put machines to work for our organizations so that our content can make a difference?

In wrapping up his talk, Paul Roetzer suggested the following three types of action:

Evaluate repetitive, manual marketing tasks that could be intelligently automated.

Assess opportunities to get more out of your data. For example, consider how data might enable your organization to discover insights, predict outcomes, devise strategies, personalize content, and tell stories at scale.

Consider the artificial-intelligent capabilities of your marketing technology, and explore the potential of emerging AI solutions.

Ready? Of course not. Still, get set. Go!

Conclusion

A note left behind on a table after Chuck Parker’s talk sums up ICC as well as anything could: “If you’re going to be replaced by a bot, at least be aware of it. Make yourself irreplaceable. Stay current. Be a visionary.”

Tomorrow’s trends-in-the-making are calling you to action. How are your teams preparing to take advantage of the algo economy? How are you thinking about innovating with content technology in your industry? What “big, big, big” differences are you committed to making with your content? Please tell us in a comment. Help us all create the future together.

See you at ICC next year!
