Ron Fredericks writes: Companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP have demonstrated the fantastic value derived from their influencer ecosystems. Nick Hayes in a lecture at the San Francisco Commonwealth Club shows attendees just how they too can identify and leverage significant value from the diverse individuals who influence decision-makers in their ecosystems.

Thanks to Barbara French and Nick Hayes of Influencer50, I was able to capture and post Nick’s lecture as a video (below). I would also like to thank the San Francisco Commonwealth Club’s team for making video setup and tear-down so easy.

I took the snapshot, shown below, during the Commonwealth Club event itself. It’s an extreme wide-angle shot taken with lots of extra megapixels. Nick Hayes and Kevin O’Malley are addressing the audience during the final round of Q & A . Barbara French managed to completely fill the event to standing-room-only capacity. LectureMaker’s portable video broadcast station can also be seen in action near the bottom of the photo as well.

Ron Fredericks writes: In February I attended the Bay Area R User Group meeting recently held at Predictive Analytics World 2009. Michael E. Driscoll, one of the two kickoff meeting co-chairs, was gracious enough to let LectureMaker capture the video for the event as a technical marketing “lighthouse” project.

Today I am happy to present this video to my readers.

If you manage the marketing, feature roll-out, or web site design, for a social network or professional ecosystem, then you need the techniques presented in this video.

Watch this video to learn about:

1. The open-source analytics programming language called R
2. How Google and Facebook approach analytics to predict their web user community’s behavior
3. Where to download R and get enterprise level support
4. How the meeting co-chairs use R

Panel of four recognized R users from industry:

• Bo Cowgill, Google
• Itamar Rosenn, Facebook
