EXPERT ALERTS:
Will Blockchain ‘Kill’ Facebook
Alex Harrington
CEO
PeerStream
In wake of Facebook’s numerous data mining scandals, the privacy and authentication issues posed by most social media platforms present a massive opportunity for blockchain-power social media. Says Harrington: “Until now, the internet has been at the mercy of a few individuals (large organizations) in terms of security, commerce, functionality and general control. The most popular video and messaging apps today are centralized — using corporate servers to send messages across the network. That means they suffer all the deficiencies associated with centralization: downtime, latency, security breaches, zero anonymity/privacy, you name it. While cryptocurrency has dominated headlines, it’s the underlying blockchain architecture and technology that stands to dramatically reshape the reach and capabilities of today’s internet by opening new, secure, decentralized services and markets.”
Harrington is CEO of PeerStream, a decentralized communications and streaming developer of an open source peer-to-peer network for content delivery. He is available to discuss how blockchain technology will empower more secure communications and information sharing between social media users.

One in Five U.S. Companies Still Lacking in Sexual Harassment Training
Dr. ArLyne Diamond
President and Founder
Diamond Associates
More than one in five companies still don’t offer sexual harassment training, according to a study by XpertHR, which also found that just 35 percent of surveyed companies plan to implement a new a sexual harassment policy in 2018, while 37 percent will amend their current one. Says Dr. Diamond: “Retraining programs are so badly created that they are worthless. Change only comes about when attitudes and beliefs are changed. This happens in well-constructed face-to-face programs. I offer these to my clients and we have lots of examples, interaction, ‘what-ifs’ and questions. People understand and change. Second best are good online programs. I recommend them only if face-to-face programs are impossible.”
Dr. Diamond is an internationally recognized leadership, management, professional development, and organizational development consultant specializing in people and processes in the workplace. As president and founder of the consulting firm Diamond Associates, Dr. Diamond has clients that range from boards of directors and upper management to support staff in many industries, both public and private.

- HOW TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE STYLE GUIDE FOR YOUR BLOG. Every great blog has a style guide. All of your favorite blogs likely are consistent in tone and imagery.
