Are there any examples of companies really doing a great job in social media? 4:45-9:00 Are there any examples of companies who were lagging behind and are now struggling to catch up? 9:00-10:30 So if you attempt to control the conversation too much, you're inevitably going to get backlash, right? 10:30-12:30 When you say the company needs to become human, you mean that there's no single individual behind the brand? Is that a big shift for some companies? 12:30-13:30 It's interesting that companies are now hiring Chief Listening Officers, just to make sure the customers are being heard. 13:30-17:45 You bring up the notion of trust a lot in your book. I think this stems from a brand's desire to over-control the message. What are your thoughts? 17:45-19:30 So one message to brands is that you have to participate or your voice will be lost, right? 19:30-20:15 We're taking a look at the top trends on Twitter this week--the Jersey Shore, Justin Bieber and Harry Potter all made the list. 20:15-21:15 How does a big brand work itself into these conversations? 21:15-23:30 Simon talks about how Mountain Dew crowd-sourced the <b>...</b>

What prompted you to write this and why focus on Foursquare? 11:00-12:30 So it's a reward for the mayor or whoever dominated the check-ins that day? 12:30-14:30 Are businesses creating different levels of check-in for newbies, mayors, etc.? 14:30-19:00 How does Foursquare make it easier for businesses to monitor this traffic? 19:00-21:00 Co-founder Dennis Crowley is quoted in the book as saying that he feels they evolved because of their New York location. Did that influence the destiny of the business? 22:30-25:30 Why is Foursquare so much more effective? 25:30-28:00 So in the consumer's mind, there's a positive reinforcement between the brand and useful information? 28:00-30:00 So you check in at various points around the campus and you get different messages and rewards? 30:00-31:15 Traditional media just isn't performing how it used to, so this is an especially interesting time for <b>...</b>

'You Are Your Brand:' Using Social Media to Find a Job


This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Today we share some ideas for job hunters about presenting yourself online. Ben Kirshner is chief executive of a New York company he started in two thousand four. Elite SEM, or search engine marketing, has about twenty-five employees. Many companies use headhunters -- recruiting services that find workers for high-paying positions. But Mr. Kirshner says that would cost him probably ten to fifteen thousand dollars to find a one hundred fifty thousand dollar a year employee. He saves money by advertising jobs online and using social media. Sometimes finding the right person this way can take time. But recently Mr. Kirshner posted a job on the advertising site Craigslist. He says he had one hundred fifty good candidates within four hours.He says his company does not use sites that offer to search the Web for information about job candidates. His company does that itself. Social networks and other websites can provide a lot of details about people's lives. As Ben Kirshner points out, that may even include personal information that employment laws prevent employers from asking. He says: "Things we are not legally allowed to ask in an interview, we can find because they're publicly displaying it on the social networks." Leslie Stevenson directs the Career Development Center at the University of Richmond in Virginia. For young job-seekers, she says, the barrier between public and private is <b>...</b>
