This article looks at how different large organizations are using NASA style control centres to manage social media content and analyze who's talking about them on social networking sites! 

Jonah Lehrer's discredited 'Imagine' has vanished from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and his publisher's website. Ideas regarding ownership and control when considering e-books

Some interesting changes in the PR industry which we have touched on in Virtual Org, especially in relation to the digital shift and how PR agency's are no longer controlling the message.

Based on today's Mashup, an article on big data privacy invasion as a business model for companies. Our data is moving more and more out of our control.

This reminds of how some restaurants are beginning to use iPads for their menus, as well as certain lounges who use iPads to manage guest lists. The idea of a "Smart Home" is intriguing.

For those of us born before 1990, the rigours of social media can seem like a chore. Though most business owners would agree that a presence on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest is a necessity in today's competitive market, the question still looms: Who's going to do all the tweeting and posting and pinning?

Interesting article. They may have written the headline just to catch one's attention, but I don't agree that it has to do with your age. I think whomever gets the position of handling the company's social media should be an articulate writer, have strong business etiquette, and a strong understanding of the company's objectives and corporate social responsibility. This can be either a 22-year old or a 50-year old. I don't think age is the question here. Perhaps the headline writer had limited space to work with : )

I think this is a new aspect in the reporter/journalist vs. citizen journalist debate. Really interesting how there is already a policy in place regarding live-tweeting from the athletic department at the University of Washington. "Social media has irreversibly altered the media landscape, and the power relationship between big content brands, individual reporters and fans. But the major money makers - ad-rich TV and radio, in particular - will always, or at least for the foreseeable future, remain in the control of the powerful. So it's best for them to lay off the micromanaging, and accept some bit of change."

Another way that Facebook seems to be limiting privacy options. While they bring up a few valid points about how much the site has grown recently and the barrage of comments from users not really familiar with the issues, it is still pretty concerning to have even less control than we already do on this site

Interesting article about the increasing blend of work life and personal life. I'm not sure if I'd advocate adding a friend on Facebook - while I can control my own posts I'm not sure I can trust that I'd be able to manage my Facebook in a way that would absolutely ensure a manager wouldn't see an undesirable post from someone else before I had time to delete it.
