Desperation

clipper's remarks: A reminder to remember Palin and her family in my prayers.

"As usual, the DailyKos has been in the forefront of the attacks on Palin. Many of the more despicable attacks, such as the story that it was Palin's daughter Bristol who gave birth to Trig, have been removed from DailyKos' site -- not because they were inaccurate (which they were), but because they were becoming embarrassing to DailyKos and its owner and chief propagandist, Markos Moulitsas."

"But DailyKos still has 51 lines of attack against Governor Palin up on their website, and to show you how depraved the mainstream media has become, many of them have been embraced by outlets such as CNN (embracing Kos Attack #4)."

The Democrats have even gotten so desperate that one of their party operatives has released the first five numbers of Sarah Palin's Social Security number to the public as part of a Democratic opposition research file. That means, by the way, that they have the whole number, and have previously used it as part of their research against her. And it's probably not too difficult for some lefty hacker to figure out the remaining four digits if it hasn't already been released -- it's a simple permutation equation with just 10,000 solutions. The Politico has helpfully posted the entire opposition report, including the partial SS number, here. Is this a surprise? Not really -- Chuck Schumer did the same thing to Michael Steele in 2006. Make no mistake about it; the media and the Dems are out to destroy Palin and her family by any means necessary.

Social media and new media are not the same

In the new media space, we use a lot of terms fairly confusingly:

Old media
Broadcast media
Mainstream media
New media
Social media
Personal media
Citizen journalism
Citizen media

Social media is the opposite - it’s media that REQUIRES the participation of others. Twitter, for example, would never have existed without other users in the network. PodCamp as a conference would never have existed if it was only one person who showed up. Take any of the social networks, remove the people, and you have something not useful at all.

Sexism and Sarah Palin

It started Friday afternoon with John Roberts on CNN, and then in a slow build over the weekend it became clear what the leading sexist charge would be against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin: Is it appropriate for her to accept the vice presidential nomination given the magnitude of her current family responsibilities?

The obvious retort is whether anyone would ask the same question of the father of a four-month-old with Down Syndrome and a pregnant teenager. We think not.

The very notion that Sarah Palin should not have accepted this nomination because she is a mother with demanding challenges underscores just how far we have to go.

WomenCount was born of the passion its founders had for Hillary Clinton’s clear view of social issues and progressive values. We cannot pretend that Governor Palin meets any standard of progressive politics or social values.

But regardless of the candidates’ ideology, we will work to stamp out sexism when we see it on the campaign trail.

Why social media demands killer creative

Why social media demands killer creative

While social media deserves all the credit it receives, the concept of social creative deserves equal attention. I define social creative as creative that a) is portable -- meaning it can travel across destinations and platforms, b) is shareable, c) is either dynamically or manually customizable and d) spawns additional creative created by the very people that interact with it. The era of the promotional microsite is drawing to a close. That doesn't mean the widget is the end-all be-all future, but it might more closely resemble what the future has in store than bloated, over-complicated, inefficiently built, processor-heavy websites.

10 Communications Objectives of Social Media

September 1, 2008

Douglas Walker has an interesting post where he wants to talk about metrics for social media. That’s great, and I encourage you to go over there and dig in and discuss that, but I have a question for you, for my own understanding. (Remember that I’m a technologist and not a marketer, so I sometimes come at this from a different direction.)

Walker says these are the 10 communications objectives for using social media (in a marketing sense):

How to Find Statistics on Social Media

Selling management on the value of investing time and resources into building an online community using social media is a challenge, and you need all of the support you can get. One way to convey the value of corporate social media participation is to leverage published statistics about who’s using social media platforms and how they are using it. There have been a host of new studies published recently that you can use to help make the case for your own company’s involvement:

One of the most popular studies is the Universal McCann’s Social Media Research Wave 3 research report, which looked at 17,000 Internet users in 29 countries. According to this study, social media can have a dramatic impact on your brand’s reputation. “34% post opinions about products and brands on their blog and 36% think more positively about companies that have blogs.”

Honk If You Love SnagIt!

I love SnagIt and use it almost every day. After Firefox, SnagIt is my most used application and one that I consider an essential tool.

As a Social Media exercise, I’m going to share my thoughts on SnagIt and try to get some Link-love, Twitter-love and Facebook-love for my favorite product. I don’t work for TechSmith or know anyone there - and they don’t give me free software. But the point of Social Media is that they should know about me and want to cultivate more very happy customers like me who will go out of their way to trumpet their product.

So what is SnagIt and why do I love it? SnagIt is a screen capture utility from TechSmith. TechSmith also sells some other products that capture screen and presentation recordings, and that do media hosting and usability testing, but SnagIt is their “ubiquity product“. That means nearly everyone has a need for SnagIt, and will find it both useful and easy to use. What more could you want out of a product?

Hurricane Gustav and Social Networking

On the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we watch as Hurricane Gustav once again batters the Gulf Shore. Today, many of us are glued to both the TV and the web to keep track of the ongoing coverage of the storm. Beyond just traditional media outlets, there are also a number of other resources on the social web that you can use to keep up-to-date with Gustav news. Social networks, blogs, live news video, and, of course, Twitter, are all being used for up-the-minute coverage. In fact, Twitter even had a breakthrough moment on CNN as reporter Rick Sanchez referred to it on air and used it to gather news.

Movement Conservatism: The G.O.P. - Selling Social Policy as a Commodity

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:51:31 GMT

clipper's remarks: indifference to learning from experience and adjusting accordingly is a central characteristic of movement conservatism.
Examples: Resistance to forming a 9/11 commission (Bush administration)
Resistance to learning what went wrong during Hurricane Katrina ( John McCain);
The term Flip-Flopping, (one can never form a new opinion or idea based upon new experience or information;

Clip Source: www.sourcewatch.org

Movement Conservatism is a self-serving and socially malevolent cabal of mega-corporations, right-wing think tanks in Washington, their archconservative foundation benefactors, and an intricate nationwide network of linkages in the communications media, religion, higher education, and law. It has been called the "conservative labyrinth," and common to all its elements is a theology of "free markets," an ideology coming to full bloom

the G.O.P. seeks to impose it at every turn

In the abstract, and historically, "free markets" are hugely appealing.

Free markets" today are a fantasy

contemporary markets are wholly dominated by corporate, not proprietary enterprise, and characterized by its features

administered prices, branded goods and services

the subjugation, by ubiquitous advertising, of consumer sovereignty

Corporate domination of "free markets" has destroyed the ability of markets to make socially optimum allocations

none of this seems to penetrate the minds of Movement Conservatives
