“Inquiry is fatal to certainty” -- Will Durant
Here is what I am reading today:
“The fast feeder is placing full-page ads in national and local newspapers to fend off charges made in a class action suit that Taco Bell misleads consumers when it says its restaurants serve “seasoned ground beef” or “seasoned beef” and is actually serving “taco meat filling,” while the remainder consists mainly of “extenders” and other non-meat substances.”
“When Audi’s ad debuts Feb. 6 during Super Bowl XLV in the first break in the game, it will contain a hashtag so viewers can follow conversations about the ad on Twitter. Will a majority of viewers have a clue what the symbol means? Probably not. But its mere presence is a sign that Super Bowl advertisers are tapping social media to extend their buy like never before.”
“Did you ever wonder how individuals and corporations get legal help and advice around the world? CLICK on the link above to see how this is happening on the internet!”
“here’s been some backlash in the last few days against the idea that either Tunisia or Egypt were brought on by Twitter or a “Facebook Revolution.” And certainly, it takes a lot more than the 21st century version of a communication system to persuade people to take to the streets and risk harm, imprisonment, or death.”
“Charitable giving, especially when adorned with social media elements, has become downright popular with consumers, and a company’s efforts in this area can be just as visible as 30-second spot during the Super Bowl.”
“A recent internal test by a federally-funded broadcaster shows that the U.S. government has the power to bypass foreign Internet censors by feeding news over a special e-mail system. How that capability might affect events in Egypt, where leaders have cut off Internet services despite appeals by the Obama administration to restore them, remains unclear.”
“‘Of all of my social media accounts, Twitter offers the most well-rounded view of myself,’says Ashley Brown, a PR consultant with Jones-Dilworth who has spent the past few years immersing herself in social media to advise her tech startup clients. But this wasn’t always the case. Until recently, Brown took great care to keep the message she sent via Twitter—and the image she projected there 100% professional–separate from her personal postings for Facebook, where her friends and family congregate.”
