		<title>What So.Me must the UK deliver in 2012?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is our role in designing a first-class So.Me service for 2012?
Well, that is a real humdinger, isn&#8217;t?

Firstly, who can even imagine what media will look like in 2012?
Secondly, do we want a role?  Are we opinion-makers or opinion-followers?

Apophenia took time off writing-up her PhD to describe what she would like NOW in the way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should Olympic competitors be allowed to blog?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was shocked to see that Olympic competitors may not blog or even transmit photos down their mobile phones.  It appears that professional journalists have a monopoly on news.
I am not comfortable with that.

To take part in sport you have to cede your rights to your image and your history?
We are propping up an industry [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jailhouse Tips for Surviving Online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being online is not unlike the prison underworld. It can be brutal, savage, and unforgiving, and requires street smarts to survive.
Sitting in your cell alone, or not being involved in the online space, is no longer an option. If you don&#8217;t participate personally, someone else will on your behalf. In the long-term you can expect [...]]]></description>

		<title>What do you think of McCain&#8217;s comment strategy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tell me, is McCain&#8217;s So.Me strategy legal in Europe?
According to this post

supporters can cut-and-paste prepared comments
to leave on opposition websites.

McCain webmasters check what is done.
Isn&#8217;t this posing as a &#8216;consumer&#8217;.  The consumer may have left the comment but as a &#8216;hired hand&#8217; and agent of the &#8216;vendor&#8217;??
Would this strategy now be illegal in Europe?

Supporters win [...]]]></description>

		<title>First report on using blogging to teach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Context
I&#8217;ve just started a post-grad class.  Most of the students are international and are new to the UK and in 4 months they will write an external exam.  I don&#8217;t set it - I just prepare them for it. So it is quite important, IMHO, that they get their writing skills up to scratch.
I obviously [...]]]></description>

I have been meaning to sketch out the bones of an social media policy for HR and the time seems to be right to get on with it!

		<title>It&#8217;s The Brand Not The Personality Stupid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just gotten out of a Ustream.tv chat hosted by Hot Dog Media.
The chat was refreshing and the conversation flowed onto the subject of brands using social media (So.Me), and how and why.
At some point the ugly notion (in my humble opinion) was raised that social media is about personalities, in that if company x [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another day and another definition.
Twactic - the art of tactically using twitter to drive traffic to your posts.
Classic examples include liberal use of WOW, capitalised in conjunction with mentioning a &#8220;friend&#8221; and pointing to a url.
