Interesting stuff I saw online, Jan. 6 to Jan. 8
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Jan. 6 through Jan. 8:
- Corporate Blogging 101: What To Do With Comments – Blog – Standing Partnership – "Once clients get past all the discussion on this topic (and it is sometimes a long, drawn-out discussion) and decide, as we hope all clients will, to allow comments to be published, then clients want to know, 'How come there are no comments on our blog posts?'"
- Model Sues Google Over Snarky Blogger Remarks – Section 230, anyone? "The defamation suit, filed in Manhattan, seeks a court order compelling Google and its Blogger service to identify the anonymous blogger."
- Top Marketing Trends for 2009: Execs ‘Sick’ of Web 2.0 – A little scary: "Twice as many marketers are 'sick' of hearing about Web 2.0 and related buzzwords such as 'blogs' and 'social networking' compared with last year’s survey. However, marketers still admit they don’t know enough about it. This was evident in results from a November 2008 MENG social media study showing 67% of executive marketers consider themselves beginners when it comes to using social media for marketing purposes."
- How the newspaper industry tried to invent the Web but failed – Slate Magazine – "Newspapers deserve bragging rights for having homesteaded the Web long before most government agencies and major corporations knew what a URL was. …One would expect to find plenty in the way of innovations and spinoffs. But … newspapers sought to invent the Web in their own image by repurposing the copy, values, and temperament found in their ink-and-paper editions."
