Wow, I know I’m a day or two late, but this post from Chris Brogan ties in nicely with the conversation that’s been happening here over the past couple of days. An excerpt:
What the social web gives us are tools. How we choose to use these tools is up to us. Are people trustworthy? Does a blog decide that? Are people sell-outs? Does a blog suggest they are not?
We demonstrate by our actions and by whatever trails we’ve left across the web whether we should be considered trustworthy. We attempt to discern trust and belief in people by how they appear and act in context. We do our homework (some of us). We look beyond the immediate. We observe.
Read the Full Post here as he makes some great points about how business fits into social media and blogging.
While I’m at it, if you haven’t signed up for Chris’ Newsletter, I’d HIGHLY suggest it. You’ll get some great tips and insight on social media that you won’t see on his blog.

I really enjoyed Chris Brogan’s recent post on how you can spice up your blog with photos from Flickr licensed under Creative Commons. So I figured I’d add one myself (that’s Chris on the left, not me).
I was always curious as to what some of the rules were when using photos on the web but have never used Flickr because of those concerns. Its a great read and should really help you out. A quick excerpt then the link to the full post:
The photos that I use on Flickr for this blog are licensed to be used under Creative Commons. That means there are some rules to using them, but if you abide by the rules, you can use them. (More on Creative Commons.). There are multiple rules for these photos. I use the least restrictive photos, found by searching using this link, which will give you any photos posted by people who simply want credit attributed to them for their work.

This Post by Chris Brogan first of all was excellent (read it), but more importantly got me thinking….
He’s wondering where the community thinks tools like Twitter, blogs, Facebook, etc belong in a company. Should they be handled by marketing, PR, HR, etc? In addition to his ideas, it got me thinking about what a huge opportunity there is for marketers, consultants, and agencies to teach clients. I think most companies think of these tools and social media in general as a way to reach out to their user base (which is true). But there’s also a great opportunity to use these tools on an internal level to streamline communication, build teams, and solidify a brand. Check out the full article and my .02 is below:
