The United States Air Force has published a great planogram on assessing social media risks. It gives an excellent roadmap on how/if to react to blog mentions that could be easily adapted to most corporates and follows many of the same principles that we use to advise our clients.
I don’t know where it was originally published but I found it on the SocialMedia Blog which links to GlobalNerdy.

There’s been some really fabulous end-of-year and forward-looking posts over the past few days. Here’s my pick of the top five (in no particular order):
1. Follow celebrities on Twitter. Fun!
2. The rise of the uber blog is predicted by Duncan Riley.
3. Steve Hodson is getting fed up with all this nattering about Twitter. STFU already. (Made me giggle.)
4. Seth reminds us that even when there are budgetary pressures, we should find a way to pay for ads that work.

Erm..no. Not by a long shot.
There’s been lots said all over the blogosphere and in Twitterland about Chris Brogan’s sponsored K-mart post. Many of the Twitteri are calling him a sell out. So I don’t need to go on about at any length, but want to add my two pennies worth.
No Chris is not a sell out. And anyone who knows even the slightest thing about social media will understand that. There are very few online personalities who are as transparent, genuine and honest as Chris. I can’t …

1. Shel explains why Motrin moms really do matter. He’s right.
2. Kami is not too happy with Burg King’s new Burger Virgin campaign. “This campaign is dressed up like a documentary, but it really seems to be more an echo of the offensive but wildly popular Borat in reverse, where exploiting cultural differences was the crux of the humor.” She’s right.
3. Are you interested in learning about how to use Twitter to build a brand. This is a good collection of links to get you started on the right path.
4. …

Yesterday we accidently sent a news release about a Microsoft compatible product to a reporter that covers Linux exclusively. Almost immediately we got a reply that more than a little sarcastic along with a threat to block our email.
Some might say there is no reason to be rude or hostile over a genuine mistake — a box left unticked. That’s probably true, but when you put yourself in the reporter’s shoes, you can understand. He likely gets dozens, probably hundreds, of badly targeted stories pushed to him every day. Especially …

On the third Thursday of each month a bunch of us get together to talk about social media, (that is blogging, podcasting, online networks and communities, etc) and how we use/love it. That means on 18 December at 12.30 pm you’ll find us at Paparazzi in Douglas, and you’re invited.
You don’t have to be tops in the Twitter Elite. You don’t have to have a top rated blog. All that is required is an interest in the interactive web. So if you have a Facebook profile, love to read people’s …

1. Apparently the Belgian Minister of Defense thinks that blogging is a “dangerous phenomenon”. Really? Dangerous for who exactly? Fat cat politicians perhaps?
2. A tale of two long tails. One is inspirational the other, modest. Are we are turning from a mass market back into a niche nation?
3. From where does influence originate? Danny thinks celebrities have the upper hand over mere mortals in the blogosphere.
4. I have to admit I was a little surpised to turn on CNN and see them quoting Twitter and bloggers as credible sources …
