A dear friend has an incredible talent for creating beautiful works of art in stained glass.
I offered to create a social media campaign to help get the word out about the holiday ornaments he is now creating.
He’s leery of too much private information being made public via social media so I convinced him to let me create a Facebook gift application so that I could give all of my Facebook friends a piece of his art best suited to their taste.
WASHINGTON—After a year in which Twitter and Facebook catalyzed protest movements in Iran and Moldova and authoritarian regimes around the world unleashed new tools of Internet control, Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission), and Co-Chairman Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) will hold a public briefing:
“Twitter against Tyrants: New Media in Authoritarian Regimes”
Thursday, October 22, 2009, 2:00 p.m.
1539 Longworth House Office Building
This briefing will consider the ways in which new media and Internet communication technologies affect the balance of power between human rights activists and authoritarian governments. Panelists will focus on new media’s role in protests and elections, the ways in which it empowers civil society activists, and the darker side: how dictators use new technology to control and repress their citizens.
The following panelists are scheduled to speak:
· Daniel Calingaert, Deputy Director of Programs, Freedom House
· Nathan Freitas, Adjunct Professor, New York University Interactive Telecom Program; developer of
groundbreaking technology for protests
· Evgeny Morozov, Yahoo! Fellow at Georgetown University’s E.A. Walsh School of Foreign Service;
contributing editor, Foreign Policy
· Chris Spence, Chief Technology Officer, National Democratic Institute

Here is a great example of using social media to not only reach your audience but affect their behavior. The social media used in this case was YouTube which has the power of viral marketing.

Twitter etiquette dictates that you follow Tweeple who follow you. But what about the Tweeple you are following that don’t follow back? Consider it rude? Just use huitter’s Mutuality2 to unfollow them in bulk.
There are literally hundreds, if not more, Twitter applications. I seem to be introduced to a new one every week.
This week I have discovered Twtri.com which “updates your email, twitter or facebook with your flight status so you don’t have to“.
Why am I reluctant to use Twtri.com? Actually I will use it via email. Certainly my family and my friend who is meeting me at the airport will want to know if my flight is ontime or delayed.
But do my Facebook friends or Twitter followers really want to know? Do I really want them to know? I think not.
Never miss out on a conversation. No longer hear only one side of the story. Tell us what you like, and we do the hard work of finding the conversations that you should be involved in.
