Facebook is philosophically run by people who are extremists about information sharing.
A spokesman for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott confirmed the investigation, but declined further comment.
The review appears to be focused on whether Google is manipulating its search results to stifle competition.
The best way to grow an audience and build a community is to make yourself a valuable member of the existing communities. Figure out where the dialog, conversations and feedback around your area of interest is happening and be present and accounted for there. All of the time. As much of the time.
That’s understanding the difference between selling and helping. That’s understanding that social media success is a long putt, not a tap-in. That’s measuring results on an annual basis, not a weekly basis.
That’s what you should be doing.
The number of active Twitter users is less than Facebook or email… (but) the concentration of highly engaged and influential content creators is unrivaled-it’s (the) gathering place for content creators whose influence spills over into every… corner of the internet.
Something that needed to be said, and it’s said here quite eloquently by Todd Defren. Worth a read. And a nap. :)
Like 2300 other hopefuls, I have submitted a proposal to present at South by Southwest 2011….

The link below is to a podcast I recorded for the American Marketing Association’s series on Toby Bloomberg’s book, written completely on Twitter. While the book was written one tweet at a time, it’s not just about Twitter; the book covers all aspects of social media marketing.

With an estimated 142 million Facebook users in the U.S. and a worldwide total of more than 500 million, the auto industry has no choice. The customers are present in social media. The auto industry has to go there.
This weekend I read a pre-release galley copy of James Patterson’s new thriller, Postcard Killers, thanks to Twitter influence measurement company Klout.com.
The opening scenes, written from the viewpoint of the killers, was so raunchy and graphic that I nearly quit reading, but I’m glad I kept going. As expected from James Patterson (and his co-author Liza Marklund), the writing is taut and the pacing is lightning fast. In short, it’s a page-turner.
I’m not a professional critic and this is not an actual review. However, if you like crime thrillers, Postcard Killers would be a great weekend or vacation read. It will be available in bookstores tomorrow.
This is the third influencer campaign from Klout I’ve participated in. I’ve been impressed with the way they handle outreach on behalf of clients. Each time I’ve gotten an email (with an easy opt-out for any future emails) that explains the campaign clearly and stresses that there is no obligation. Each time, you must opt in to the offer.
I especially like the clear statement that accompanies the offer:
Klout Perks Code of Ethics
Well done, Klout. And well done, James Patterson and Liza Marklund.
