[G] Neda Soltan and the power of human rights video

Posted: 12 Jun 2010 12:06 AM PDT

YouTube Blog: Neda Soltan and the power of human rights video

A year ago this weekend, Tehran erupted in protest at the disputed results of Iran's tenth presidential election. In the severe government crackdown that followed, documented on cameras and uploaded by citizens to YouTube, no moment has been seen more than the death of Neda Agha Soltan, a young musician whose brutal killing by a sniper became the rallying cry for Iran's opposition Green Movement. The anonymous videos of her death even won a prestigious George Polk award for journalism last year.

Today on the YouTube homepage, we're featuring a documentary from director Antony Thomas and HBO, entitled "For Neda". The film highlights how citizen reporting has become so important to human rights that even world leaders are paying attention to it. For example, as you'll see in "For Neda," President Obama talks about watching the video of Neda's death, calling it "heartbreaking" and "unjust."



We're also taking this opportunity to begin a series of blog posts in partnership with WITNESS, an international human rights organization that supports people using video to document and expose human rights violations, to explore these issues.

How has video become such an important part of human rights advocacy worldwide? At its heart, human rights video is about making something visible that was not visible before. Seeing human rights abuses with our own eyes is very different than reading about the same abuses in a story or a blog post or a Tweet. In the past, we mainly saw these kinds of images in the nightly news or in documentaries -- and even then only occasionally. But now that camera usage and access to the Internet is much more widespread (including in many developing countries), we encounter human rights images much more directly. For example, Burma, Tibet and Iran are places where it's difficult for local or international media to report, so when mass protests were met with violent force, it falls on ordinary people to try to get images out.

Human rights video is about more than capturing images of abuse as they happen, however. Direct testimony from victims or local activists can provide powerful and compelling evidence of human rights violations. Testimonies like that of "Mary," a Zimbabwean political activist who was abducted, raped and beaten in a secret torture center after the disputed 2008 presidential elections in Zimbabwe, have unique power to help us see what those who have suffered human rights abuses see, to feel what they feel, and to hear what they want to happen.

Videos alone aren't usually enough; in order to make an impact, activists organize around the content. Sometimes organization is required simply to ensure the content finds an audience: in Iran, it was a networked web of activists who organized proxy servers and emailed footage to a diaspora outside of the country to ensure the videos got around the government's block of YouTube. Other times, coordinated campaigns ensure that citizens are called to action in courts, public squares or parliaments, as has happened in Brazil, Kenya, India or in the International Criminal Court. This isn't a phenomenon confined to developing countries or repressive regimes; it's also happening in the U.S. Testimony as part of a campaign against elder abuse across the U.S. has helped expose stories that would otherwise go untold, and to pass legislation that improves the lives of millions of citizens. In our next post, we'll talk more specifically about what you can do to make sure videos you've uploaded or care about can have maximum impact for human rights.

As online spaces become more and more important for sharing and accessing information, we believe that access to the Internet itself is becoming a key factor in human rights in the 21st century. To make that a reality, governments, businesses, activists and citizens need to take a collective stand to ensure that video can shine a light into the darkest corners of human society, providing paths to justice to those who need it most. Both at WITNESS and at YouTube we're committed to helping build a global movement for human rights video that does just that.

[G] Notes from SambaXP 2010

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 05:05 PM PDT

Google Open Source Blog: Notes from SambaXP 2010

Hello, I'm Jeremy Allison, a Google engineer in the Open Source Programs Office and a Samba Team member. I recently returned from SambaXP, the annual Samba Team coding bash and get-together in Göttingen, Germany, held from May 5th - 7th. There were several notable outcomes from the conference, which I'll share here.

We launched the new look for the samba.org web site at the conference, refreshing the Samba web site with a 21st Century design.


We listened to many presentations, had lots of meetings, and drank fine German beer. I gave a presentation on "How to make a product with Samba," (PDF of slides) aimed at helping companies use Samba in commercial products.


The Microsoft engineers who are working on the SMB (Server Message Block) and SMB2 file-sharing network protocols are Samba Team friends and they returned to the conference this year - in fact, Tom Talpey from Microsoft announced a new project to design UNIX extensions for the SMB2 protocol.


The Samba Team is still making great strides on the next release of Samba, Samba4. Samba creator Dr. Andrew Tridgell from IBM (just to be formal for once... everyone still just calls him "tridge") demonstrated two-way replication between a Microsoft Active Directory domain and a Samba4 Domain. There is still much work to be done on the AD domain controller code, but there is starting to be light visible at the end of the tunnel in getting to a "stable" 4.0 release. Maybe by SambaXP next year there will be an exciting new announcement on this subject.


After consultations with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Linux distributions, the Samba Team decided to move to a nine month period between major Samba releases instead of the previous six month release cycle. The strain of keeping to the six monthly cycle was too great on the release process, and nine months should give a better balance between having time for feature development and time for testing of the Samba production release code.

Plans for the merging of the existing file server (smbd) and authentication daemon code (winbindd) with the Active Directory code (samba) were made, and tridge demonstrated Samba4 printing for the first time.

Günther Deschner from Red Hat won the "Code Janitor of the Year" award yet again, for his clean up of the old printing code, and was only just beaten to the post as the top code commit contributor into Samba by Stefan "the Machine" Metzmacher from SerNet.









John Terpstra of Primastasys announced the clean up of the Samba.org support page as part of the new look for the Samba.org web site. John will be ensuring all companies offering Samba support on the site are kept up to date for users to contact.

Thanks to Google for sponsoring the event, and SerNet for hosting. The slides from all the presentations are available here. If you didn't go, you were missed - and you should certainly make an effort to be there next year!

[G] New AdWords reports in Google Analytics now available to all

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 12:36 PM PDT

Inside AdWords: New AdWords reports in Google Analytics now available to all

Last month we released a major update to the AdWords reports in Google Analytics. Today, we're making this functionality available to all AdWords advertisers. The new reports give you deeper insight into the performance of your AdWords campaigns.

If you're a fan of the Placement Performance report in AdWords, you should take a look at the Placements report in Google Analytics. The Placements report lets you analyze the visits your site received from ads on the Google Content Network, and it offers more insight and information than the AdWords PPR. You can see the number of visits, the number of conversions, and engagement metrics like bounce rate and time on site.

If you've ever wondered how day of the week or time of day affected your ads, you'll find the Day Parts reports very helpful. With the report, you can see the visits from your ads broken down by hour of day or day of the week. By graphing visits and transactions, you can uncover the times of day when you see more conversions. You can then use ad scheduling to increase your bids during those times.

In order to use the new reports, you need to link your AdWords and Google Analytics accounts with destination URL auto-tagging turned on. If you haven't already done this, you can set it up by clicking on the Reporting tab, then Google Analytics. You'll find the new reports in the Traffic Sources section of your reports.

You can learn more about the reports and see a video of them in action on the Google Ad Innovations page.

[G] “If you work at Hiatus, you’ve gone Google!”

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 12:12 PM PDT

Official Google Enterprise Blog: "If you work at Hiatus, you've gone Google!"

Editor's note: Continuing our "Going Google Everywhere" series, we've invited Sheila Garrison and Kristin Heaton-Peabody, co-founders of Hiatus Spa + Retreat, to explain how Google Apps helped them launch and grow their socially conscious spa in Dallas, Texas. Learn more about other organizations that have gone Google on our community map.




Pictured: Hiatus Spa + Retreat co-founders Kristin Heaton-Peabody and Sheila Garrison

Our business, Hiatus Spa + Retreat, was born out of necessity. As professionals who worked entirely unreasonable hours, and habitual spa users, we were left with few options that fulfilled our needs for an escape to renew body and mind without breaking our wallets. And as serial entrepreneurs, it didn't take us long to recognize a significant need in the marketplace for a superlative spa experience at a reasonable price. With that in mind, our core mission was firmly set: to make the world a better place, one spa service at a time.

We started writing the business plan in 2006, which took us nearly a year to perfect, then we started looking at Dallas real estate. We started using Google Apps in fall 2007, before we opened; with founders based in both Dallas and Laguna Beach, California, Docs was essential to helping us finalize details such as our initial spa menu (we wished we'd had Docs when we wrote the business plan!). In December 2007 we opened the doors to Hiatus, a full-service day spa featuring a monthly membership and affordable pricing -- the first of its kind in the United States.

We now have our entire team of 30 using Google Apps. Google Apps is perfectly reflective of who we are as founders: it's all about transparency, efficiency and environmental consciousness. That's the way we run our lives and business. Google Apps empowers us to work more effectively than previously imaginable (and we spent more than 15 years working in the technology sector!). Through Google Docs, our ability to sit-down, as a company—in multiple cities—and collaborate on one single document, real-time, has become essential.

I simply can't imagine going backward. With a team spread across several states (including lawyers and consultants in Chicago), we can work on shared Docs across multiple time zones without missing a beat. Employees can access our employee handbook and other spa documents we use daily, plus we keep our on-call schedule in Google Calendar. If you work at Hiatus, you've gone Google!

As our business has grown (we enjoyed 83% growth in 2009 and are on track for a 60% increase in 2010, in an otherwise complicated economy), Google Apps has consistently proved invaluable. With the limitations of traditional inbox mail storage, our team had difficulty storing important documents and retrieving them in a real-time fashion. With Apps, we can de-clutter inboxes and provide consistent up-to-date information via Google Docs.

As any entrepreneur knows, organizational "betterments" happen on a daily basis. The business is always a work in progress, and you can't rely on the notion that your team always has the latest and greatest information. Hosting our critical documents in the cloud also appeals to our eco-conscious sensibilities -- can you imagine how many trees are being saved on a daily basis from not re-printing employee manuals?

We're also finding new uses from Docs as we grow, from managing construction and budgeting for our expansion into the space next door to event planning for our screening of "Tapped", as a fundraiser for the Global Greengrants Fund and the Gulf Restoration Network. We're still working ridiculous hours, but Google Apps helps us be as efficient as possible -- and now at least we have a sanctuary to find our center.

[G] Blazing the online safety trail

Google Public Policy Blog: Blazing the online safety trail

Posted by Mandy Albanese, Online Safety team
(Cross-posted from the Official Google Blog)

When I was in middle school, computer class was spent learning the basics of "keyboarding" and rushing to finish the lesson so I could get back to my journey on the Oregon Trail. My main goal was to survive the river crossings, maintain enough buffalo meat to sustain my family and arrive safely in California with my entire fake family still alive.

Today, many schools are teaching their first graders the basic computer skills I was learning at 13. Teens have always been the quickest adopters of new technology, as parents and teachers struggle to keep up and equip teens to make good decisions online.

When I visited Dunne Technology Academy in South Chicago earlier this week, most of the students were getting ready for their summer break, but we paused for a bit to talk about what they're doing online. The majority of these tech-savvy teens had all encountered cyberbullying at some point, had seen pictures and information on profiles they thought were inappropriate, and had had someone try to trick them through a phishing scam.

We spent the day discussing ways to avoid being scammed, how to create an online profile that can be an asset rather than a liability, and actions you can take if you're being bullied, harassed or see inappropriate content. Most students seemed to understand that their online identity and their "real world" self were one and the same, and that they have choices in managing their content and reputation online. We agreed that by applying the rules of good citizenship online, the Internet would be a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.

So while teens have more difficult choices online today than to ford or to ferry the river in Oregon Trail, we can prepare them to make smart decisions online.

[G] The Power of Multiple Custom Variables

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:53 AM PDT

Google Analytics Blog: The Power of Multiple Custom Variables

This is the first part of a two part deep dive guest post about using Multiple Custom Variables written by Allaedin Ezzeidin from E-Nor, a Google Analytics Certified Partner in Northern California.

This time of year is the perfect time for a deep-dive analysis of your online business. Summer is about to get under way, and the school year and holidays are a ways off. Equipped with the "Google Analytics more Powerful, Flexible and Intelligent" feature set, we are now able to extract insights that weren't available to us in the past, and go beyond the out-of-the-box reports and segmentations. We'll take a deep dive below, and you can also read more in the help center here.

One of the most amazing features made available in the October 20, 2009 announcement was Multiple Custom Variables (MCV). Google calls it "MCV" and I call it "Google's gift to humanity". Prior to the MCV announcement, we were limited to tagging visitors by a single variable (SetVar) based on their interactions with a site. With the new MCV feature we can now track visitors according to any number of interactions and behaviors on the site.

In this post, I will walk you through a practical example that I hope you can apply to your own business.

Say you have an online store where you sell clothes for men, women and kids. You (and your boss) are not satisfied with aggregate data, so you go to your friendly marketing manager and web analyst and ask them to segment and segment deep! What you really want is to have more visibility into the shopping experience based on:
  • products and departments of interest
    • departments: men, women, etc.
    • categories: athletic, suits, shirts, etc.
    • special sections: wedding registry, wish list, etc.
  • buyers & non-buyers
  • site language selection: English, Spanish, etc.
Your request shall be answered using the powers of MCV! Here is a brief illustration of how it works.

What does "Multiple Custom Variables" do?

The Multiple Custom Variables feature allows us to label visitors at three levels, "visitor", "session" and "page":

1. Visitor-level Labels

These labels are permanent and will stay attached to the visitor for the current and future visits as long as the visitor's cookies are not cleared and the specific label is not overwritten by another label.

2. Session-level Labels

These labels stay attached with the visitor as long as the visitor is active on the site. Once the visitor leaves the site or the session expires, the labels will disappear.

3. Page-level Labels

Visitors can be assigned to labels at the page level if they interact with certain events (flash, video, Ajax...) or view certain pages.

Now, let's go back to our online store example and walk through our implementation strategy and technical details.

The Strategy

As visitors enter the store website, they will be tagged with different labels based on the pages they visit (products and store departments):

Example 1:

Tom is an English-speaking visitor, viewed a product (women pajamas), added the item to the shopping cart and then completed the purchase transaction.

At the end of the session, Tom's visit will be labeled as the following:

Example 2:

Sara is a Spanish-speaking visitor, viewed a few products (men and women apparels), and then left the site without buying.

At the end of the session, Sara's visit will be labeled as following:

The How

1. Customizing the tracking code:

Visitor-level Labels

At the visitor level we will use custom variables to segment visits based on the site interface language selection. This custom variable will stay attached to the visitors for future visits starting from the visit in which they selected the interface language (until they clear their cookies).

Setting the value of "interface-language":

Visitors are assigned to the language segment according to their selection in the language form.

Add custom code to the form onSubmit event as illustrated below:

<form onSubmit="pageTracker._setCustomVar(1, 'interface-language', this.mymenu.options[this.mymenu.selectedIndex].value, 1); pageTracker._trackPageview()">
<select name=mymenu>
<option value="arabic">Arabic</option>
<option value="english">English</option>
<option value="franch">Franch</option>
<option value="spanish">Spanish</option>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Session-level Labels

At the session level we will use custom variables to distinguish visitors' behavior across sessions based on their conversion. In this way, we can segment visits by those who complete ecommerce transactions versus those who just browse products in the site.

A visitor will be tagged as a "buyer" if he or she completes a transaction. If they do not buy, the visitor will be tagged as a "justlooking".

Setting the value of "visitor-type" to "buyer":

In the transaction confirmation page (thank you page) add the following code inside the Google Analytics Tracking Code (GATC) right before the pageview GIF request _trackPageview()

pageTracker._setCustomVar(2, "visitor-type", "Buyer", 2);

If it is not possible to add the custom code inside the GATC, then add the following code after the GATC:

<script type="text/javascript">
pageTracker._setCustomVar(2, "visitor-type", "Buyer", 2);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

Setting the default value of "visitor-type" to "justlooking":

All visitors will be tagged by default as "justlooking" once they enter the site by setting the value of the custom variable "visitor-type" to "justlooking" at the session-level.

Add the code provided here to all landing pages right after the GATC.

High-level description of the code:
  • extracts the "_utmb" string from the cookies set by Google Analytics
  • extracts the "pageview count" value from the _utmb cookie
  • if the session's "pageview count" is equal to 1 (landing page), sets the value of "visitor-type" to "justlooking"

Page-level Labels

At the page level we will use custom variables to determine which products' categories and store departments are more visited. We will set a custom variable at the page level for each product, where the product category and the department for that product is set as a custom variable.

Setting the value of "store-department" and "product-category":

In each product page, add the following code inside the GATC right before the pageview GIF request _trackPageview()

pageTracker._setCustomVar(3, "store-department", "Men", 3);
pageTracker._setCustomVar(4, "product-category", "Suits", 3);

Setting the value of "gift-option":

Visitors will be tagged based on their gift card and registry selections.

Add the below code to the respective pages right after the GATC:

www.domain.com/baby-registry.html

<script type="text/javascript">
pageTracker._setCustomVar(5, "gift-option", "Baby-Registry", 3);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>


www.domain.com/wedding-registry.html

<script type="text/javascript">
pageTracker._setCustomVar(5, "gift-option", "Wedding-Registry", 3);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>


www.domain.com/wish-list.html

<script type="text/javascript">
pageTracker._setCustomVar(5, "gift-option", "Wish-List", 3);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>


Enough coding! You should now be equipped to create and use MCV. Next post, we'll take another slant and show you how to create custom segments using the values you've designated in your MCV.
