    Actually there is an alternative to facebook coming this September. It’s called somethingcoolhappened.com. You can go there now to view a preview video and to preregister. With this site you can interact with friends, create your own unique avatars, upload videos, pictures or stories of something cool that happened to you or someone else! It is going to be awesome! Check it out.

    What if forums like the IJ required a VALID name for posters, kind of like the Editorial Section of your newspaper (remember them?)? That way, nobody could hide behind the anonymity of the internet when bashing someone else. You got something to say? Give me the chance to call you up personally.

    Sincerely,

    So then we can all set up a dummey e-mail account, at yahoo or wherever, use a fake name, and life is good – right Buttkiss?

    Dear Kathleen and William,

    This is an excellent article and many of your recommendations mirror ours. We also recommend that clients create a Social Media policy for not just employees, but also vendors and partners. We find when managing the social media channels (such as Facebook) for our clients, it’s their vendors and partners that are responding and channel with their customers.

    We also recommend a Crisis Communications plan for Social Media to be done in concert with existing one. I thought your readers might benefit from a Presentation we did with our client, Alaska State Fair, on how we managed their crisis. It’s a good example of what to do.

    Thank you very mkuch.
