The Truth about Facebook | Scared Yet? | Bit Rebels

http://www.bitrebels.com/social/the-truth-about-facebook-scared-yet/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

It has been an ongoing debate now for over 3 years. What exactly is Facebook and what are they doing behind the scenes that we don’t know about? How are they using the information we so willingly put up on their server without any kind of ownership after we’ve saved our changes and additions? Are they using us for businesses we don’t even know exist or what is the deal?

James P. Othmer -- Mad Men vs. Advertising Today - washingtonpost.com

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/14/AR2009081401629_2.html

More on marketing is lying... "Before the drug companies were the mommy bloggers -- parents writing about their children, and their children's favorite products, online. That scandal exposed an ethically tenuous relationship in which bloggers received corporate swag, and in some instances vacation junkets, in exchange for favorable, seemingly honest reviews and "content" mentions. And the brands are not shy about it. Jill Beraud, a marketing officer at PepsiCo, is on record saying that courting the mommy bloggers is a long-term effort."

Interesting: How To Tell When Companies Fake Amazon Reviews

http://blogs.wsj.com/wallet/2009/07/09/delonghis-strange-brew-tracking-down-fake-amazon-raves/

WSJ.com:Russ Taylor was looking for a very good espresso machine. So the Atlanta lawyer did what many of us would–he surfed to Amazon.com and began trolling user reviews for high-end espresso makers. On the DeLonghi Perfecta Digital Super-Automatic Espresso Machine, an $1,800 metallic blue machine with a built-in burr grinder and five coffee-strength settings, he saw that user “T. Carpenter,” a self-described “espresso addict,” raved about the product. Then he saw that the same user had posted an ecstatic writeup for another, less-expensive DeLonghi model. Could it be that the espresso addict had two high-end machines?

Technology Review: The Web vs. the Republic of Iran

http://beta.technologyreview.com/web/22893/page2/

But the most difficult question regarding the Web's involvement in the current situation, Zuckerman says, is to what extent these tools are helping to organize actual protests. "This is a legitimate street protest; people are extremely upset about their voting rights," he says. Zuckerman senses that the technology isn't helping opposition supporters as much as are traditional organizing methods like phone calls and word of mouth. According to Stephen Murdoch, a computer security researcher at the University of Cambridge, it's hard to tell how many people are actually involved with Web-based protests inside Iran because what we see outside the country is a "biased" sample. Twitter and Facebook are popular in the United States, but there are likely other social-networking sites geared toward Iranians that we can't monitor as closely. So the extent--and reach--of Web activity in Iran is hard to judge.

…My heart’s in Accra » Iran, citizen media and media attention

http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2009/06/18/iran-citizen-media-and-media-attention/

- Social media is probably more important as a tool to share the protests with the rest of the world than it is as an organizing tool on the ground. - Iranians have been accessing social networking sites and blogging platforms despite years of filtering - there’s a cadre of folks who understand how to get around these blocks and are probably teaching others. - Because so many Iranians use social media tools - often to talk about topics other than politics - they’re a “latent community” that can come to life and have political influence when events on the ground dictate.

Interesting: Dalai Lama imposter escorted from Twitter

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/02/twitter-dalai-l.html

LA Times: But today, as Mondays are wont to do, brought disappointment and disillusionment. Turns out the person twittering from the Dalai Lama's account, @OHHDL, was an imposter. "Everyone who's wondering why @ohhdl was suspended. The official ohhdl in Dharamsala, India, informed us that @ohhdl is an impersonator. Sorry," wrote Caroline, a Twitter spokeswoman. The San Francisco company had been contacted by the real Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to break the news that the enlightened Twitterer was not, in fact, the Enlightened Twitterer.
