Teenager. It's not a surprise that the judges in this case felt pressure to come down hard on Cam, since the local media has been quick to sensationalize the story and demonize a harmless teenager. Before charges were even formally filed, local newspapers were already posting pictures from Cam's facebook and pointing to "disturbing" posts like "Fuck politics. Fuck Obama. Fuck the government! " and "satanic" imagery (like some image from a metal band's poster.) All of this is free speech that is 100% protected by the 1st Amendment. But Fox News went so far as to say that Cam's facebook profile had images that they "couldn't show on TV. " They and other media outlets frequently and intentionally printed only a small section of the lyrics that Cam was arrested for allegedly writing, and took them out of context to make rap metaphors sound like a real threat.

The media printed: "(Expletive) a boston bominb wait till u see the (expletive) I do, I’ma be famous" The actual line is: Notice something? TV’s Next Social Media Superstar Is… February 4th, 2013 by Anthony Coleman In 2012, the number of people using social media grew to 1.43 billion users. This stark increase in tweeting, posting, and pinning has grabbed the attention of traditional marketers – most notably: Television. TV shows are not only leveraging social to increase brand awareness and interactions but to increase ratings.

While some shows are “duh, winning”, there have been some shows that are just doing it all wrong. Winner: RuPaul’s Drag Race Shameless Plug: The new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race starts Jan 28 on Logo Before everyone started mopping their marketing, THE BEST REALITY SHOW EVER, RuPaul’s Drag Race, realized the importance of social media. And my personal favorite… “That’s #InDaButtRu” Drag Race’s use of hash tags is genius because it encourages interesting conversations between fans and generates social buzz in real-time. But of course like any good lover, RuPaul’s Drag Race is versatile. I apologize for the racing puns… Ms. Does Your Enterprise Have A Social Silo Just Wasting Money? The need for integration between social media and SEO is steadily increasing. We have all read the articles about the way that content is +1′ed by people you follow is shown in Google results (or how content Liked by a Facebook friend is elevated in Bing results).

You have also most likely seen articles about how social media can be used to develop relationships that drive links to quality content on your site. This is all SEO goodness. Sadly, too often social media is siloed in the enterprise. Then, one of two things happen: It becomes a checkbox. Let’s illustrate this with two real world situations I have seen, though I need to keep the company names anonymous. The Checkbox Company A is a Fortune 1000 company that knows it wants to play in social media. The head of the PR group is tasked with taking the challenge on. She hires an outside social media agency to come in and take care of the strategy.

The agency does a great job and focuses on building a large audience of friends/followers. Yes, Facebook Knows You’re Gay! January 4th, 2011 by Anthony Coleman Courtesy of www.break.com I recently read a great article by aimClear‘s Marty Weintraub who used Facebook’s demographic targeting to determine how many people serving in the military are gay or lesbian.

While it is interesting to see who is romantically interested in who – I felt the data didn’t take in account members of the military who do not list what they are romantically interested in. So it occured to me, why not do a post where you target things that are stereotypically associated with gay and lesbian culture and explain how same-gender loving they are – and this post was born. While I would love to go down every item on the “who like” section of the FB targeting, for sake of brevity (I’ve been told I’m long winded) I will only address a few of the items. Gay Interest: Fashion/Dolce & GabbanaWhy This Interest Might Make You Gay: Straight men in the military are just not interested enough in fashion to list it as a Facebook interest. Digg. LinkedIn. Sphinn. Tinychat. Facebook. Flickr. Twitter. YouTube. Jane Austen's Fight Club.
