Should companies care about the messages scrawled on Facebook walls, the rantings of bloggers and the flapping of wings in the Twittersphere? Do they need to listen to the voice of the customer, no matter how loud or faint, as it reverberates across branded online communities and ratings and review sites? The answer is a resounding "yes". As control of a company's marketing messages—and, indeed, its very brand image—continues to migrate from traditional media to social media, it has become imperative that companies not only pay close attention to how they're being perceived in online conversations but that they also take appropriate action, based on the insights they glean. In many cases, their future depends upon it. The good news is that companies can keep close tabs on what consumers are saying in online conversations and then generating actionable insights. These insights can drive increased effectiveness and efficiency with respect to product marketing, public relations, market research, customer support, brand reputation protection, competitive intelligence and overall business innovation.

SRWare Iron: The browser of the future - based on the free Sourcecode "Chromium" - without any problems at privacy and security



Google's Web browser Chrome thrilled with an extremely fast site rendering, a sleek design and innovative features.  But it also gets critic from data protection specialists , for reasons such as creating a unique user ID or the submission of entries to Google to generate suggestions. SRWare Iron is a real alternative. The browser is based on the Chromium-source and offers the same features as Chrome - but without the critical points that the privacy concern.

We could therefore create a browser with which you can now use the innovative features without worrying about your privacy.

We want our users to participate in our work and make the browser free to download under the name "SRWare Iron" into the net.

“And what version of Windows are you using?”

Me: "And what version of Windows are you using?"

He: "Look, pal.  I know two things about this fucking computer.  I paid a lot of fucking money for it, and it doesn't fucking work."

Are Cameras the New Guns? The move to stop recording of police misconduct.

RT @mediamentor: Are Cameras the New Guns? http://ow.ly/2mAG9 US states'
move to stop recording of police misconduct #journalism #newmedia

[excerpt]

In response to a flood of Facebook and YouTube videos that depict police
abuse, a new trend in law enforcement is gaining popularity. In at least
three states (Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland), it is now illegal to
record an on-duty police officer even if the encounter involves you and
may be necessary to your defense, and even if the recording is on a public
street where no expectation of privacy exists.

The legal justification for arresting the "shooter" rests on existing
wiretapping or eavesdropping laws, with statutes against obstructing law
enforcement sometimes cited. Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland are
among the 12 states in which all parties must consent for a recording to
be legal unless, as with TV news crews, it is obvious to all that
recording is underway. Since the police do not consent, the camera-wielder
can be arrested. Most all-party-consent states also include an exception
for recording in public places where "no expectation of privacy exists"
(Illinois does not) but in practice this exception is not being
recognized.

3/4 of US recruiters & HR pros do online searches on potential employees.

"The Internet makes everyone a public figure,"

A recent survey by Microsoft, for instance, finds fully three-quarters of American recruiters and human resources professionals perform online searches into the activities of potential employees.

Most people have learned — some the hard way — that the Internet's memory makes elephants look forgetful by comparison, with the skeletons in our online closets having bones so sharp as to impale careers, marriages and certainly reputations.

Almost overnight, these challenges have given rise to an entire cottage industry of businesses that manage people's Internet images for them. There are even cyber scholars that foresee a time, not far from now, in which "reputation brokers" will aggregate our e-activities into an annual score that gauges our value as employees, friends and life partners.

Think credit reports, but for morals instead of money.

"The Internet makes everyone a public figure," says Michael Fertik, CEO of the online image management firm ReputationDefender, of which an estimated 97 per cent of clients are ordinary citizens.

"Even if you don't put a lot of stuff about yourself online, someone else is doing it for you . . . So you either do something about it, or learn to live with it."
