Please RSVP here or email Audrey.watne@nyu.edu. Light snacks and refreshments will be served. Fulfilling Social and Economic Rights, a new book by Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, Terra Lawson-Remer, and Susan Randolph, proposes an innovative framework for measuring government performance in meeting economic and social rights obligations against what could be achieved with available state resources. The authors argue that traditional human rights indicators capture individuals’ enjoyment of economic or social rights, but not state compliance with the duties to progressively respect, protect, and fulfill those rights.
Their new approach uses data from countries across the globe to set relative benchmarks against which to evaluate more comprehensively how states apply their resources to realize economic and social rights.

If you're a resident of Maryland, you no longer have to fear a potential employer asking you to hand over the keys to your Facebook or Twitter profiles before giving you a job. Both Houses of the Maryland General Assembly voted on a bipartisan basis to pass a bill blocking the practice on Monday afternoon.
Employers will still be able to view public posts online, but can't demand access to private material as a condition of employment. The decision was met with enthusiasm from the American Civil Liberties Union, which championed the cause after a Maryland corrections officer was asked for his Facebook password during a recertification interview.

It's been two weeks since a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami devastated northeastern Japan, and video footage of the disaster -- of coastal villages turned into matchsticks, of cars tossed about like they were bath toys, of a wall of water devouring everything in its path -- still shocks and is unnerving to watch. The disaster, which may have cost 20,000 people their lives, is likely go down as the most expensive ever (and that's before any costs associated with the ongoing emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex are figured in), and it will be years before Japan and the Japanese people have fully recovered.

View Full Article in: Harvard Business Review online Media | Marketing Published in Brief: Microblogs, major differences. When talking about domestic microblogs in China, we tend to broad-brush these services as “Twitter clones” or “Twitter-like,” in deference to the service that popularized microblogging worldwide.
But in fact, domestic Chinese services such as Sina Weibo have already distinguished themselves in interesting ways. In the midst of the July 2009 unrest in China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang, China’s government blocked access to Twitter, making the service unavailable to the vast majority of users (those, that is, who aren’t familiar with tunneling software to get around the technical censorship system, or Great Firewall). Despite controls, Twitter is still used in China, and remains popular among a certain subset of Chinese academics, journalists, artists and so-called dissidents, who use the service to chatter quite openly about issues of mutual interest and concern.
The History of Google and Local Search. Much attention has shifted towards local search marketing in recent months, but many might be unaware that it has been around for quite a few years and has been a big part of the way the search engines have evolved to what you see today.
In November 2010, Google made a massive change to the local search results, integrating those results with the organic results. I am currently working on how-to guide for local search marketing for Vertical Measures, and let me tell you, I have never had to edit a writing piece as much as I have this. Things in the local search industry are moving fast, very fast, and business owners, more than ever, need to try to keep up. Google has a very cool time line of corporate milestones, that it updates every so often with the changes and new products it rolls out.
Here are the instances that had to do with local. March 2004: Google introduced Google Local, offering relevant neighborhood business listings, maps and directions. Email Trends For 2011.

Sketchy SEO Company Forces Google To Out Them. Obama Calls for Federal Internet Privacy Policy Office. The Obama administration today issued its official call for the creation of a new Privacy Policy Office that would focus on facilitating discussions among stakeholders in order to protect and inform consumers about the privacy risks, costs and opportunities created by the growth in personal data online.
In a corresponding Department of Commerce report (PDF), the effort was said to be focused on many steps that could be taken short of legislation. It also repeated extensive calls to preserve the incredible opportunities for innovation that online data use enable, something you're unlikely to see focused on by media coverage from places like the Wall Street Journal, where anything with a hint of privacy foul has been subject of single-minded attack for months. In text that reads very much like the Federal Trade Commission's call for a "Do Not Track" list, issued two weeks ago, this newest report from the Department of Commerce is introduced thusly: Twitter as an Advocacy Tool - Live Discussions.
