What if Science Fiction wasn’t so much fiction as new reality – augmented and virtual? Imagine a 3D world powered by the individual rather than an entity using Blockchain technologies, AR, VR, and AI. Every year there is a new technology, a new .0 to move us to the next level of progress, but usually those moves are focused among the few. Web 3.0 and its capabilities are intended for the many. With every new technology, there is new verbiage, so let’s start there. Enter the Metaverse and see how you and your business can prepare for the future. What is the Metaverse?Whenever you travel somewhere new, you most likely do a little research about the place. Right? Though you’re not really travelling in the traditional sense, this new world is different and yet its purpose is to make the web what it once wanted to be – available and accessible to all. From the video games Dungeons & Dragons to Fortnite to Second Life, each has presented its own version of the metaverse. But now imagine, instead of entering someone else’s world and playing their game, you can create and control your own world from your own computer. Those other worlds existed in Web 2.0. Your world will be powered by Web 3.0. What’s the difference? Below is a short list:Web 2.0 versus Web 3.0Tech giants censor and dominate the market. This is Web 2.0.The servers are owned by these same companies. Yes, even the Cloud. Not quite as decentralized as it sounds. This is Web 2.0.These few companies have the money, the computer power, and your Data. This last is key when it comes to Web 2.0.People have little control over how these companies collect their Data and use it. How much Data do we give away when we sign up for something, buy something, email a message, track our location, or browse for a product? This is Web 2.0 and why we need Web 3.0.Web 3.0 is a decentralized system in which developer tools are created by community.In Web 3.0, there is less censorship and more transparency in how Data is collected and used.In Web 3.0, users own their own Data rather than it being sold, gathered, and collected against their wishes. Think third-party cookieless systems or the lack thereof.Network platforms are public and there is no ownership. Web 3.0 is community-based and individually driven.Though Web 2.0 has been the driving force behind our technological progress, it wasn’t always meant to meant to be this way. Web 3.0 and blockchain technologies are primed to be the next leap in advancement. Why? The future is a privacy-driven world and in this iteration of our web universe, the hackers are winning. So what can companies do to not only prepare for Web 3.0 and what it looks like in the Metaverse, and get started on the right foot, right now? Embrace blockchain technologies. Combined with Web 3.0, it will be part of its underlying structure. And start with keeping your customers’ Data safe. Three Ways to Keep Your Customers’ Data PrivateAudit your privacy best practices regularly.Explain to your customers why you’re collecting their Data and what you’ll use it for.Be transparent with your information.Web 3.0 isn’t here. Yet. It must navigate through our current centralized system in which the few have the most computer power to the future decentralized system in which the internet is free for anyone to participate in, build upon, and generate income without being outmanoeuvred by Big Tech. This is a vision what the future can look like. We can gain a taste of it in Facebook’s Metaverse, when we play video games, or even when we watch a movie like Ready Player One. Imagine a place where networks are decentralized. Where applications are built on blockchain technologies everyone can follow, where people can communicate, collaborate, and connect without interference. This is what Web 3.0 could look like in the metaverse.If you’re interested in Web Analytics, Machine Learning, or AI just to name a few, Harnham may have a role for you.

This is Harnham’s weekly news digest, the place to come for a quick breakdown of the week’s top news stories from the world of Data & Analytics.DEVOPS.COM: FOUR KEYS TO DEVELOPING ETHICAL AIAs we see artificial intelligence (AI) being implemented into almost all aspects of the business world, companies are struggling to find ways they can use the technology in an ethical way.Here, Devops.com ask some important questions that help to ensure this incredible technology is being used as a force for good, from development to implementation.Is this transparent in every way? Developers need to establish a transparent and clear channel of communication to raise concerns and to discuss and deliberate on ethical dilemmas with their team.Have we accounted for risk or exceeded regulatory boundaries? Ensuring your products are future proof means exceeding the privacy regulations and ethical boundaries, not just meeting them.Is this system adaptable? There should always be a contingency plan in place, and developers should build flexible tools that can be adjusted according to any updates or ethical concerns that may arise.Are developer teams prepared to build ethically? Companies need to communicate their ethical intentions by building an infrastructure that equips developers with the training and resources they need to implement ethical standards.While these four questions won’t solve the ethical issues that AI throws up, it will certainly help businesses to prepare for, and build ethical infrastructures that are needed for AI to reach its full potential.To read more, click here.ANALYTICS INDIA MAG: TOP 10 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES USED BY GITHUB REPO CONTRIBUTORS IN 2021In this piece, Analytics India Mag explores the top ten programming languages used by GitHub in 2021.

While certain aspects of our lives have become more convenient because of this, this has taken its toll on human relationships.In this piece, Tech Republic talks to Michael Litt, CEO of Vidyard a video creation platform, about his experience with mentorship and the programme he developed.”Jobs are more demanding, and hybrid work has meant different expectations and stress and strain,” Litt said. However, formal mentorship programmes are especially important in start-up organisations “to give people the time and space to learn.”Vidyard offers a mentorship programme that supports guidance and learning at all levels. The virtual programme is said to work better remotely than in-person, aiming to expand globally.”I wouldn’t be where I am if [my mentors] hadn’t taken me under their wing when I asked them to,” Litt said. “I believe in the art, and forma and intention is absolutely required. There is no easy path to building a mentor/mentee relationship.”To read more, click here.MARTECHCUBE: A THIRD OF CMOS DON’T TRUST THEIR MARKETING DATAAccording to recent research, over one third of Chief Marketing Officers don’t trust their marketing data.The research, which surveyed 964 marketing professional and data analysts across the US, UK, and Germany, identified some key strategic challenges that CMOs are facing, and their priorities for 2022.One of the biggest issues found between all levels of seniority was time being wasted by manually wrangling data.“Modern marketing can’t afford to wait three weeks for someone to sift through a spreadsheet. A lack of real-time insights – as data is spread across too many siloed locations – compromises the quality of marketing campaigns. By manually wrangling data, businesses not only open themselves up to human error and inefficiency but also commit themselves to a reactive strategy,” said Harriet Durnford-Smith, CMO at Adverity.To build trust within their own data, businesses must invest in their campaign reporting capabilities, have strategic and transparent value propositions, and be able to demonstrate return on investment.To read more, click here.

Why it is hard to build a Big Data team | Harnham Recruitment post
+
Increasingly, I speak to managers who are adopting big data tools and developing PoCs to prove how they can make use of them. Just last week I spoke to a data architect who mentioned that if he didn’t get exposure to big data tech sooner rather than later, his current RDBMS skills may become redundant within the next few years. While that is likely an exaggeration, it is certainly an interesting point. Companies that would have never previously had the capability to interpret ‘Big Data’ are now exploring a variety of NoSQL platforms. In particular, the massive performance benefits gained from Spark and real-time/streaming tools have opened up a whole new world beyond just MapReduce. I don’t claim to be a data engineer, but as a recruiter for this sector, what I do is spend all day, every day interacting with big data developers, architects and managers (as well as keeping a close eye on the latest Apache incubator projects). Due to this, I have seen some recurring themes that have become trends when companies look to create and build their big data teams that are coming to the fore.
Candidate demand
The demand for Big Data professionals is very much a present day issue as the data companies have grand plans for is waiting for the right data developer to use the best tech to extract valuable insights from it.
The best candidates receive massive interest, often gain multiple offers from a range of companies. Your business is now no longer just competing with large corporations such as Facebook, Twitter or Yahoo. Startups and SMEs are also vying for the best candidates.
Candidates are seeing pay rises twice that of the normal rate, as illustrated in our salary guide.
Candidate shortage
The number of candidates with hands-on, production level Big Data experience is incredibly limited. We go to great lengths to find the candidates who can add real value to companies.
The growth and exciting future for the big data industry has led to increased interest in big data jobs, particularly for those from RDBMS or software. engineering backgrounds. This leaves the industry in a difficult predicament: high demand + low supply = massive competition. There are countless examples of companies that have failed to recruit a Big Data team after a year of looking.
Competition to get ahead and stand outPlanning – Companies need to have a data road map detailing their future plans. Candidates want to clearly know what they are getting into and what to expect from a job.
Innovation – Why get stuck on batch processing? The most exciting positions that candidates love are in data innovations teams, playing with real-time/streaming tech and new languages.
Personal development, growth and training – with the data science market experiencing similar growth, many big data engineers are looking for a job that not only offers the chance to work with machine learning and similar fields; but training, mentoring towards clear career progression as standard.
Speed – the length of the interview process is often seen as a reflection of the amount of red tape developers have to go through to get a job. The longer and more convoluted the process, the more put off some people may be.
Complacency – don’t rest on your laurels, it’s unlikely that you’ll get 10s of CVs through when you are looking to fill a data role, so when you find a candidate you like, move swiftly to show your interest to them as quality candidates don’t come around often.
By implementing these small but effective improvements to your recruiting process and how you develop data talent will see you create a team that is a success in this ever more digital analytics landscape. Companies who don’t create and nurture strong, dynamic teams will fall by the wayside.
It’s Harnham’s job to help you achieve this goal. Get in touch with us to tell you how. T: (020) 8408 6070 E: info@harnham.com
