🎇 In the spotlight today:
Amanda (aka Stevey), Community Manager, the voice and heart of the #PROOF and #Moonbirds ecosystem.
What my remote office looks like:
🐦 My remote office is filled with digital art prints and gifts from community members featuring my PFP.
What I wanted to be growing up:
I grew up wanting to be a doctor, but mostly because I knew my family would be proud of me. Thankfully, this doesn't connect to my job now, but ultimately it was a great lesson in making decisions for my future that would make me feel proud! 😁
Favorite part of my job:
Seeing my team IRL - putting names to faces is my favorite part of working here. It's been really fun to connect on a different level with the humans behind the computer!

Personal Update: A picture is worth a thousand words, but I’ll add a few for context...
Earlier this year I walked away from an amazing team at Lockheed Martin.
I had learned from some of today’s most effective aerospace minds how advanced technology gets built for, and bought by, governments all over the world.
But while my inner child remained obsessed with the products themselves (especially the ones from you #Skunks reading this), my 28-year-old self had become unsatisfied with the underlying process of what insiders know as “Government Acquisition” - namely, the ecosystem that exists between private industry, public funding, and national-scale missions like defense, sustainable infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
I experienced first-hand how the processes around public sector technology were made inefficient, and saw that it wasn’t through any overt wrong-doing by any party. It was simply a matter of there being no clear thread of context across the stakeholders of a government procurement opportunity: Humans on all sides of the table create homemade systems across excel, powerpoint, and email to 'connect the dots' of mission needs with the relevant people and available money for solutions. It takes months just to get the right data together while the world needs this to take seconds.
So that’s why I’m excited to officially introduce Pryzm to my personal network today, because it’s about something I believe we can all get behind: building a more effective and trustworthy public sector through acquisition transparency.
We've got some fun announcements in the coming weeks, so shoot us a ‘follow’ to stay tuned!
CAVU,

And just like that, the first-ever #SITechLandscape is finally out. If you’re curious about social intelligence categories, vendors, features, or use cases, this is for you 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMMaz8YF
Reviewing over 500 social intelligence solutions and building structured categories to create a standard for SITech has been one of the most fun and fulfilling projects I’ve worked on in 2024. The result? A solid resource for anyone navigating the social intelligence space, whether you’re new to this (welcome!) or whether you’re a card-carrying membership-holding social intelligence pro.
While this first edition is packed with a lot of great stuff, I’m already excited about version 2.0. Here's why:
I’m already seeing shifts that will shape the next landscape/report, a lot of which we’ve already covered in this version. Take, for example, the increasing importance of first-party data and how vendors are adapting (and will further adapt) to support this; or take the rising demand for tools that can detect bots, artificially inflated social metrics, or even sketchy content like deepfakes, transforming the d/misinformation category.
Oh, and don’t get me started on trends, with the need to properly detect, analyse, and categorise them – is it societal, cultural, or just a quick flash? Is it a local or global movement? Who’s behind it, and where’s it heading? The ability to properly categorise a trend is crucial for any researcher – it’s the difference between “cheugy” vs “brat” vs “demure” vs "-core" vs “the Spanish pineapple-gate”, and the ‘so what?’ behind them all. Who knows, we might even see more vendors evolving from being "platforms of features" to becoming "suites of products" that you can mix and match based on your needs.
I could talk about this for ages, but one thing’s for sure – change is happening, more is coming, and when it does, we, The Social Intelligence Lab team, will be right there to make sense of it all – for you and with you. This year’s report lays the perfect foundation for that, setting the stage for what’s to come.
💬 Now, random question while I’ve got you here – will you be in Chicago in the next 10 days? If so, I have 2 recommendations for you:
1️⃣ Stop by Sawada Coffee (trust me on this one)
2️⃣ Just 3 blocks away from Sawada Coffee, on October 3rd, you should check out #ObserveSummit, SI Lab’s event on social listening and digital insights. Last I checked, there were still a few tickets left, so go grab them before they’re gone! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAtc4Rcb
PS A big thank you to Dr Jillian Ney and everyone involved in making the SITech Landscape happen — this has been quite the ride, and we’re just getting started.
Building THE global social listening community to turn social intelligence into a recognized discipline
It's not been a secret that we've been mapping all social listening-based tech. Our Bernardo Ellis has been VERY busy and <drum roll> the FIRST map of all social intelligence technologies. Every. Single. One. 🙌
With more than 500 social intelligence technology providers within 9 technology categories and 37 subcategories, this is your definitive guide to the SITech Landscape. No more comparing two solutions that do completely different things. No more wasting budget on the wrong tech.

How did we get to the Moon to rethink the way we store data?
The era of information exchange at an unprecedented speed demands a security structure to match. Lonestar Data Holdings Inc., a portfolio company of #2Future, is building the history of a new way of handling information security and storage.
