One of my favorite blogs, Fresh Networks, has a recent post with a great video of Matt Rhodes presenting his thoughts on how to approach social media in Europe.
His overall point is that a multinational brand should not attempt to create one single global social media strategy and apply that to all countries. Click here to view the embedded video. I agree with Mr. Rhodes that you cannot take a single social media strategy and apply it globally with success. Each country has it’s own mix of culture, social activity preferences, and social landscape — therefore each country should have it’s own social media strategy.
While I do agree with him that each country should develop an approach that is optimal to it’s mix, I do NOT think that means that a multinational brand should approach social media without some form of unified strategy.

My essay on how the internet is changing science journalism has been published as part of a collection called Science and the Media by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The volume includes contributions from leading science journalists such as Alan Alda, Cristine Russell and Cornelia Dean, edited by Donald Kennedy and Geneva Overholser. The editors write: The essays in this volume discuss the roles of scientists, journalists, and public information officers in communicating about science and technology. The authors look at the role the media play in boosting Americans’ scientific literacy and at how the new digital media are changing the coverage (and consumption) of science news. They discuss how inadequate press coverage combined with poor communication by scientists can lead to disastrous public policy decisions. In my chapter, I discuss how the internet offers new ways to cover science, concluding:
