Small business owners are not taking advantage of the Internet to increase sales according to In2town. With the research that In2town media recently did, they found that small business owners failed to market their products and services online due to the cost that can be incurred. The public relations company also found that small business owners did not understand how powerful a press release can be and did not understand the impact they can make.

The #Abercrombie fiasco this week is another example of PR people failing to direct their organization in handling a negative story.

A dormant, unattended site is negative PR

How many times have you clicked on a social media link at a website only to find that there is little or no recent content at the end of the link? Happens all the time, right? Perhaps more of us should write comments at these sites to draw attention to the dormancy? That may work to raise attention of anyone is attending the comment stream.

This is my opinion posted on my FLIPBOARD : Social Current See : http://flip.it/Z4xJn.

There's always a reason to remain ...

Enjoyed making a simple comment and giving some input via LINKEDIN to an eager job-seeker for a PR position, John Saleh, a recent graduate of Bangor University.

For the curious, Bangor University is a Welsh university based in the city of Bangor in the county of Gwynedd in North Wales. It received its Royal charter in 1885 and was one of the founding Member institution of the former federal University of Wales. }:{ http://goo.gl/vA00s

Contrary to the title of this blog, here is one of the prime reasons I choose not to totally follow my own admonition to EXIT EVERYTHING. Great experience to give solicited counsel to one who is in the same place I was more than two generations ago.

Washington State’s Employer Social Media Password Bil

Just passed and awaiting the governor’s signature is Washington State is a statute tackles the social media ownership question by excluding accounts that are “provided by virtue of the employee’s employment relationship with the employer .. [or] online account[s] paid for or supplied by the employer.” Earlier versions of the statute had more specific definitions for what constitutes a social network. One iteration also limited the private right of action. See also : http://goo.gl/YXdi5 ANY GIVEN WORD

Social Media : Do Not Enter without an EXIT Plan

ALTALOMAN aka CANSWERIST Leave a comment

Social Media : Do Not Enter without an EXIT Plan …  This idea (hence, this post) was prompted by the recent but belated discovery that a connection that I had for over four decades had passed away three years ago without my knowledge.

While I was curious why his social media sites on LINKEDIN and TWITTER were void of updates for some time, little did I realize that his not being alive any longer was the reason.  Logical enough, but how would I have known without notification from someone else?  He had remarried and moved out of state and I had retired about that same time in January 2010.  Hence, while our social media links remained, they became dormant and useless.

Most of us don’t think about this reality.  We also don’t plan for others to either manage, assume control, or erase our social media or Internet footprints after we are gone.

This is of specific concern for individuals, but it rises to a different level for corporations and organizations.  In the case of my friend, his firm was and is still well- and primarily-identified on his social media sites.

Through a mutual friend, I contacted a principal still with the former firm of the deceased to find that the organization was not aware of these residual footprints for their former partner.  The firm has effected the closing of the deceased account, but I am curious how many others are so afflicted with this type of problem?

The moral of the story may be that don’t plan to have a social media ENTRY policy unless you also have an EXIT PLAN, even if that is not prompted by a death, just a change of interests.

Feb 06 2013, 06:00 AM by Hal Licino : Citing a recent post on her Kruse Control site entitled 5 Social Media Habitudes to Leave Behind in 2013, Kathi Kruse outlines the primary habits and attitudes that online marketers have about social media which are overdue to be flushed down the promotional drain. }:{ alt@link }:{ http://goo.gl/Ol9R3 }:{ alt@search

  1. Displaying disdain for social media is stupid
  2. Stop thinking that social media doesn’t move product
  3. Quit gathering your market data through formal research
  4. Don’t hand your online marketing to a staffer based on youth alone
  5. Online reviews & ratings are not for the birds

How to 'memorialize' a web site

FACEBOOK and other major social media networks do have policies to memorialize pages and content. How does it work? }:{ alt@link }:{ http://goo.gl/gt88k

VIRTUAL MEMORIALS  }:{  from HuffPost 16.Jan.2013

Story source Anthony Dowdell of New Jersey is just one of an estimated 30 million people whose virtual profiles on Facebook have outlived them.

By the end of this year, 3 million Facebook users’ pages will have become memorial sites for their owners, according to calculations by Nate Lustig, the founder of Entrustet, an online company that helps people access and delete online accounts after someone dies. Lustig arrived at the number by culling data on the total number of Facebook users, their ages and geographic distribution, and international death rates.

  • According to the post, “there are clear rules for how next of kin can inherit or delete accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin and the countless other online manifestations of ourselves that have proliferated. Usually, family members have to submit an obituary, news article or death certificate to verify the user is dead. But unless there’s a request, the rules on death are rarely enforced on social networks. Facebook allows only the living user of a registered account to have access to it — families can’t get full access to profiles unless there’s documented instruction from the deceased. In a rare case in June, a Wisconsin couple obtained a court order for Facebook to give them access to the personal messages in their 23-year-old son’s account after he committed suicide.”
