“what were they thinking?”

We’ve all seen the Domino’s video by now, however, apparently we’re still not significantly motivated to action. Read on…

For example, a fascinating article in the New York Observer about NYTimes reporters twittering about a “private” meeting, Twitter Culture Wars at ‘The Times.’ How does this apply? I ask my clients time and again … do you have a non-disclose with your employees or do you cover social media in your employee policies? The answer is almost always, “no.”

I posted the TechCrunch well-written article, Corporate Tweets and the SEC: Sometimes It’s Better To Keep Your Mouth Shut, in the same vein but with much greater ramifications for entities that are publicly traded or perhaps even NFP’s that have strict compliance and accountability issues.

Please share your feedback — is your company incorporating these lessons into their own “employee handbook?”

web 2.0 and social media are turning the doctor-patient relationship upside down

– nice video from Bearing Point on healthcare, as they layout the strategy that will transform the relationship. Nice resource for IT healthcare including a white paper sketching out their strategy for Johns Hopkins University.

They also publish, via their wordpress blog, a wonderful directory, GovTwit, of all the governement entities currently twittering. Check out the CDC and Health and Human Services. I follow @AndrewPWilson on Twitter and he’s one of the young social media leaders of Gov2.0!
