POPSShould We Trust The Experts? "None of this suggests the public should abandon a healthy skepticism toward even well-credentialed authorities. Pharmaceutical companies, with colossal missteps like the dangerous medication Vioxx, have earned suspicions about their motivations. Vaccinations foregone put not only those individual children at risk but clear the path for infectious disease to spread more easily. That's not a great outcome, whether we're collectively battling the measles or this season's H1N1 flu. "You can't minimize your individual risk," Wallace writes, "unless your herd, your friends and neighbors, also buy in." Our children most certainly deserve safe vaccines; that's a given. I don't blame people for not trusting special interest groups. I just thought this article brought out some interesting points regarding social media.

POPSBig Brother Monitoring Your Clipmarks, Blogs, Tweets "Visible", a very extensive and sophisticated CIA-based monitoring program is in effect watching online forums, blogs, twitters, and likely Clipmarks (where influential clips are easily tabulated).

In-Q-Tel says it wants Visible to keep track of foreign social media, and give spooks “early-warning detection on how issues are playing internationally ,” spokesperson Donald Tighe tells Danger Room.

POPSCMOs are Choosing to Activate Social Media via In-house Resources I'm surprised, but pleasantly surprised that over 65% of surveyed CMOs are choosing to go in-house for their social media work. It's the right choice for several reasons and there are a few money quotes below. Social Media should be managed in-house because: 1. It's cheaper. You can hire a "Community Manager" for half of what it would take for an agency to manage the business. 2. It's faster. If you have someone in-house who is intimately involved in the brand and the company, you will be able to react to opportunities and challenges faster. 3. It's all about the content. Agencies are probably more skilled on the technical side, but let's face it - pretty much anyone can figure out how to use Twitter, Facebook, Flickr or blogs these days. But not everyone can get the content right. And if you need some Tech help, outsource it for a couple days or learn it! (Found this piece via @daveknox )

POPSTwitter Talks Data With Microsoft, Google — All Things Digital All this without tarnishing the noisy service as a shill, because it lets you listen to only what you want. The deals would be nonexclusive and may not happen, All Things Digital reports " which only feeds the casual cred Twitter has been cultivating, taking its time about coming up with a business model that produces operating revenue, while it rakes in VC money at a level that values the three-year-old private company at about $1 billion. The “Let them do it” philosophy works like a charm for Twitter, whose content comes from the general public and whose best interfaces come from third-party developers making full use of the company’s freely available API. Along with the recently announced “lists” initiative, Twitter seems to be carefully setting the table so that partners can leverage its data " and the way it is organized " to enter new markets, while it sits back and maintains a server farm.

POPSPour tirer profit des médias sociaux, il faut d'abord y accéder Perspectives intéressantes dans ce billet sur le réseau des blogues de Gartner qui fait suite à la publication des données d'une étude de la firme Robert Half Technology sur l'accès aux médias sociaux dans les entreprises. Cette étude nous apprenait que plus de la moitié des entreprises bloquent l'accès à des services comme Twitter, LinkedIn et autres. Un autre blogueur, encore chez Gartner, doute quant à lui de la justesse de ces chiffres et a lancé son propre sondage en ligne. Qu'en pensez-vous? Et vous, avez vous accès à ces services depuis votre poste de travail au bureau?
