A quite recent (August 2013) post looking at the pros and cons of blogging sites. May be useful when choosing platform for ones OLJ. I think I will use Blogger - not too complex for a newbie like me.

"Maintain an authentic online identity" (CBKB, n.d., para. 2). This is a very interesting, unique and true policy. Given our staff professional credibility, the policy suggested "make sure your identity can be verified in your contributions to online social network.". CBKB further suggested when created accounts on social networks, include a link to our staff profile that leads to a web page to identify their professionalism.

"Please be careful with account names that resemble Fuji Xerox's official accounts. Current official account in Hong Kong is listed below:" (Fuji Xerox Hong Kong, n.d., para. 6.2). Fuji Xerox Hong Kong wants to make sure their employee and customers know which official channels are in Youtube, Facebook and Linkedln. A list of official channels ensure their customer communicate with the right authority.

"Using social media effectively in corporate setting requires a certain level of trust." (Golden, M., 2010, p. 78). This is an answer to "How rigid does your social media policy need to be?". This is the matter of the "tone" and the balance of "do" and "don't" list in the policy. Bottom line can be summarized as: "Don't do anything stupid."

I like their summary for staff guidance - "Don't do anything stupid"

It is good that organisation update their guidance for staff. Shows that they care and that they are aware of changes in the SNS world.

"Updated guidance to help us get the most out of social media is being distributed to staff in BBC News."(Hamilton, 2015.). Keep our library policy current. Given the cycle of social media tools change rapidly, policy should be under constant review, especially policy refer to application or platform.
