Getting over your PinPhobia! Speaking to several clients lately has revealed there is a new social media fear emerging … The fear of pinning pictures on Pinterest! Now this isn’t altogether surprising, a few months ago there was a slew of articles about Pinterest’s terms and conditions and the possibility that pinning a picture from someone else’s website could end up with you in court getting a whole lot of legal costs pinned on you! However since then Pinterest have tweaked their terms and conditions, showing that they are a site prepared to listen to their users! And if you still feel wary look to see whether the we site has a ‘pin it’ button, like the one you see on the picture above. If you are a professional photographer or an artist you may well be concerned that people could steal your images. I myself have pinned pictures of artwork on some of my boards, especially for a board that seems to have become dedicated to the redecoration of my bedroom. My personal Pinphobia… It’s understandable isn’t it?
The Online Reputation Management Guide The following Online Reputation Management Guide will show small businesses how to assess, build, track and monitor their online reputation. In most cases, you can follow these simple steps to easily grow your personal brand and/or small business. If you’d prefer, you can also download the ORM Guide as a PDF. Introduction Two decades ago, an executive made a very public and damaging mistake. In 2008, a business owner found their personal beliefs exposed to the public. In 2009, an industry leader found that they were the subjects of a disparaging article from one of the world’s major news networks. In 2009, a small business found their former employee posting negative remarks on an industry-specific forum with an anonymous username. What do those situations have in common? Neither the executive, the business owner, the industry leader nor the small business were proactive in managing their online reputation. Let’s assume the old AOL click data percents from 2006 are still accurate:
SOPA Anti-Porn Amendment Rejected By Bipartisan Coalition WASHINGTON -- On Thursday, a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers directed the federal government to deploy radical new powers to enforce and protect copyrights on pornography. By a vote of 9 to 18, the House Judiciary Committee rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), which would have barred the Department of Justice from using the new tactics envisioned by an anti-piracy bill to protect "obscene and pornographic works." Members of both parties came together to defeat the anti-pornography initiative, with Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich.), and even hardcore social conservative Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) all against Polis' amendment, and in effect, standing up to protect the porn industry. Yet a spokesperson for King explained his vote by arguing the Polis amendment would have actually led to more porn online. By introducing his porn rider, Polis forced SOPA supporters into casting an awkward vote.
Pinpuff - Your Influence Score on Pinterest and Your Pin Worth - Pin Clout - Advertise on Pinterest Reputation management Reputation management is the understanding or influencing of an individual's or business's reputation. It was originally coined as a public relations term, but advancement in computing, the internet and social media made it primarily an issue of search results. Some parts of reputation management are often associated with ethical grey areas, such as astroturfing review sites, censoring negative complaints or using SEO tactics to game the system and influence results. There are also ethical forms of reputation management, which are frequently used, such as responding to customer complaints, asking sites to take down incorrect information and using online feedback to influence product development.[1][2] History[edit] In 2007 a study by the University of California Berkeley found that some sellers were undertaking reputation management on eBay by selling products at a discount in exchange for positive feedback to game the system.[6] Concepts[edit] 1. Ethics[edit] Justification[edit]
Facebook isn’t making us lonely. It’s making us anxious. Get over it. As a masterpiece and a cultural catastrophe at once, Facebook is distinctly American. It represents a social regime that’s scintillating and hideous. The values intrinsic to it—velocity, wit, growth, exhibitionism and “connectivity”—can seem superficial, but they’re ours. This week, the Facebook brass are making housecalls to investors, using razzle, dazzle and astral projections to justify valuing the eight-year-old company at a big, round $100 billion. This comes in preparation for Facebook’s midmonth initial public offering—what’s expected to be the biggest I.P.O. in the history of the Internet. At the same time, government officials have started to cast a cold eye on Facebook, making sure it—and Apple and Google—don’t get a regulatory pass from Washington just because they’re cute. Many consumers are even wary of Facebook. Just as the company prepares for its close-up, Facebook is the subject of near-hysterical anxiety. But the Internet is no longer the Wild West. Just ride it out.

College Student Daniel Chong Attempted Suicide After DEA Agents Locked Him in a Small Cell Without Food or Water for Five Days Several hours after Obama’s drug czar told a room filled with Democratic power brokers at the Center for American Progress that the “war on drugs” was over, 23-year-old Daniel Chong sat down with NBC San Diego to recount the five days he spent handcuffed in a DEA holding cell without food or water after he was arrested at a "4/20 party." During that period, Chong, a student at UC San Diego, was forced to drink his own urine because his cries for help, for water, and for food went ignored, or perhaps unheard, by DEA agents. By the third day, Chong said he was hallucinating. He tried to kill himself by breaking the lens of his glasses, cutting his wrists, and then swallowing the shards. More from NBC: Chong said he was at a friend’s house in University City celebrating 4/20, a day many marijuana users set aside to smoke, when agents came inside and raided the residence.
