It may have been a sight to behold as the internet helped topple governments in the Middle East last year, but yesterday it did something even more impressive. It caused Senators to change their minds on policy.

Here are some specific ways in which social media is changing the education system for both students and educators.

J'ai déjà eu l'occasion d'aborder le cas particulier du B2B (Comment exploiter les médias sociaux dans un contexte BtoB).
Du fait de ce contexte professionnel, les objectifs que vous serez amené à poursuivre sont différents. Les tactiques à mettre en oeuvre seront également différentes (obligation de fournir ou de relayer du contenu de qualité, cycles de vente beaucoup plus longs…).
Malgré toute la littérature qu’il existe sur le sujet, il persiste encore un fort scepticisme : Only 8% of B2B Companies Heavily Engaged in Social Media.

Churchill used to say: “In England, everything is permitted, except that which is forbidden. In Germany, everything is forbidden, except that which is permitted. In France, everything is permitted even that which is forbidden. In the USSR, everything is forbidden, even that which is permitted.”
DMCA is England; the Movie Industry thinks it’s France and wants us to be in Germany but this could end up in the USSR.

The following ===> infographic <=== covers the topic of social media and how it affects our content.
Would you imagine how social networking would be if there were no websites in the calibre of Stumble Upon, Twitter, Reddit, Digg, and Facebook ? I don't think we will have the same easy and instant access to the information as we do now.
We should be so thankful to those people behind the creation of such tools especially when we measure their importance and benefit in education.

Curation is becoming an increasingly important term and for good reason: the online world is increasingly messy, muddled and full of blind alleys. Search used to be the best way to navigate online but today it is only one part of an Internet user's dashboard.
Finding things is fine if you know what to look for, but search is increasingly less effective in judging the quality of links, or putting those links into a context.
So what is curation?
Curation is a person or persons, engaged in the act of choosing and presenting things related to a specific topic and context. Source: Silicon Valley Watcher (http://s.tt/13xnj)

I have posted two previous articles and one at SMM Magazine on the Klout menace.
Mark Schaefer has recently posted a number of warnings on his excellent blog, Grow. But I think the topic deserves another visit.
Mechanically measuring someone’s influence using an algorithm is going to be imprecise and quirky. Does anyone really believe that Justin Bieber is the most influential living being? or even the most influential online American?
I check my ratings on PeerIndex, Klout and TweetGrader and my rank on SMM marketing professors list, but don’t get distraught when I have slipped a point or another highly followed marketing professor has emerged. It is kind of fun to see how I and my online friends are rated and ranked.
Scoop.it!
Social media-loving ninjas, gurus, and wizards may once have touted their Klout. But if the recent spate of criticisms over the company’s privacy, transparency, and methodology is any indication, these days, Klout is out.

Blog post at GROWMAP.COM : This is a guest post by online marketer and writer Mitch O’Conner.
A social media campaign is a powerful way to promote your website or blog, reach out to an untapped user base, and ultimately make more money through direct sales and/or advertising dollars.
Handled incorrectly, a social media campaign can just as quickly alienate potential traffic, damage your brand’s image and have your advertising partners running for greener and more profitable pastures.

The Internet seems like another member of the family sometimes. It lives in our home and follows us wherever we go, it vies for our attention, and it entertains us. The habits we fall into around our online lives has a profound effect on our family relationships, especially when it comes to parents and kids.

This a great blog post from Rian van der Merwe , describing the noise you can find on the web now, and especially content just created for SEO purposes or advertisers. As many, Rian is tired of it.
"I used to believe that if you write with passion and clarity about a topic you know well (or want to know more about), you will find and build an audience. I believed that maybe, if you’re smart about it, you could find a way for some part of that audience to pay you money to sustain whatever obsession drove you to self-publishing"

Gust MEES: What about displaying in your name here also when You "rescoop" this scoop? Thanks in advance ;)
