I will be presenting here in a couple of days on aspects of social media!
Here is what I am reading today:
“The forums will help identify pioneering ways to move from open source information into actual public health response – so everyone is better informed, better prepared, and better able to respond fast to protect health and save lives. Ultimately, the question is: how do we efficiently and effectively manage large volumes of internal and external disparate data sources necessary for situational awareness, rapid decision support, and discover new indicators and warnings of events of public health significance? “
“Some are updating personal accounts while others have created profiles for their organizations. They’re in experimentation mode, testing out which features are most beneficial for messaging and engaging with their audiences.”
“Even though our networks continue to evolve and people move up and down different groups depending on different stages of our lives, work projects, or situations, whether we do it online or not, we still build lists and we well aware of who is top of mind, when, and why. Friends and interests do come and go. When I’m preparing for a trip to Europe, I make sure I start paying more attention to what my Italian circle of friends and colleagues is doing — and I can do that across networks and outposts, based upon where they hang out.
What do I use to get in touch and make plans? Either email or phone. So there is a jump off point. Connections happen in real life, which is why emails, phone calls, or in person meetings are (still) the best conversion tools.
Is it the same for you?”
“Raise your hand if you knew that this spring, the NFL franchise owners “locked out” their players from the league.
Keep your hand raised if you know what “locked out” actually means, and continue to keep your hand raised proudly if you can succinctly explain the points of contention between the owners and the players.
Those who still have their hands raised are either lawyers or sports fanatics, and these two groups are probably not reading this blog. So, I’ll keep my explanation simple: NFL owners and players are fighting over a pool of money, and the entire country might lose out on Sunday football this year if they can’t find a compromise.”
“Of course, we can’t forget about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 either. The final film in the Harry Potter franchise released in U.S. theaters late last week, but it continued to make news as the weekend progressed. Fans set a box office record for opening night and eventually box office records altogether. “
