LG's Australian website was hijacked and defaced with an elaborate message over the weekend and as of this afternoon it has still not been restored. The website, lge.com.au, was down on Saturday morning after it was defaced by a hacker team calling itself "Intra". It has yet to be restored but LG's other website, lg.com.au, doesn't appear to have been affected. It looks like the attacker has compromised the web server itself as the website home page has been replaced completely.
"It seems as though your website has been hacked. The breach has been archived by Zone-H.com, which is a comprehensive database of website takeovers.

How does Twitter fit into your social media marketing? Improve Your Tweets Mari Smith @marismith #1: Share valuable content in your own voice Do your best to craft your content tweets, @replies and promotional tweets all with a seamless style that matches your personality and/or brand.

Defining Quality in Young Children’s Media Use. 10.31.11 | The Fred Rogers Center has been part of several recent efforts to develop digital media guidelines for young children and to help define what we mean by “quality” for those children who are old enough to engage with new media tools.
In this podcast at the Early Ed Watch blog, Lisa Guernsey, director of the early education initiative at New America Foundation, talks with Rita Catalano, executive director at the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children’s Media at Saint Vincent College, about two specific efforts underway to develop guidelines for educators and families. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), in partnership with the Fred Rogers Center, is working to create a position statement on the best practices for technology, media and early childhood. The statement, which is currently in draft form, updates a similar statement from 1996. I spoke with both Catalano and Guernsey for a Spotlight story earlier this year. Poking Around in YouTube Insights.
A couple of days ago, I was poking around in my library’s YouTube account – generally tidying up the place, adding some info to video descriptions, etc (more on that in a future post perhaps). While doing that, I started looking at our YouTube Insights (that’s what YouTube calls statistics or analytics), and discovered some neat stuff. And I thought I’d share. The stats are from Jan 1 , 2011- Oct 23, 2011). I created four “Big Insights” that I noticed, and each insight has a Takeaway. See if you can add some takeaways or insights to my list! {*style:<b>Big insight #1: Most people watching our videos are coming directly from YouTube. </b>*} 32,929 from youtube – almost 70% embedded player – 8657 – 18% mobile devices – 5223 – 10.9% youtube channel page – 985 – 2% Youtube is its own community.

Most viewed videos for that time range: Think twice before using Google+ with corporate and education Google Apps accounts. Anyone who plans to enable Google+ features on their Google Apps account for work or school should make sure to note the privacy policy before proceeding. Yesterday, Google began allowing customers of its Google Apps accounts — the company’s enterprise suite of web-based applications for documents, email and more — to sign up for its social network Google+. App accounts can then gain access to all of Google+’s features, like Circles, video chat Hangouts and more. However, as The Next Web’s Matthew Panzarino notes, doing so will allow the Apps account administrator to both access and modify all of your Google+ activity.
This is pointed out in Google’s Help Center, which states: Because you’re signing up for Google+ with your corporate email address, your Google Apps administrator retains the right to access your Google+ data and modify or delete it at any time.

How much time are you spending on social media? Can you tell if it’s helping sales? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a framework for measuring the impact of your social media efforts? That’s where Susan Etlinger’s new research for the Altimeter Group comes into play. Susan did qualitative research with 60 social media marketers and vendors to understand how businesses currently measure their social media performance.
Her goal: to develop a framework for tying social media performance to business goals. NOTE: Because Susan’s original research targeted enterprise-level companies, I interviewed her to add some small business insights. Start with your strategic goals Business owners who see great social media success tie their technology choices to their strategic goals. Make sure to start with your business goals when choosing your tools and measures. Etlinger advises all businesses follow this process, but particularly small businesses that have limited resources and less tolerance for missteps.
