The biggest ethical issues in Social Media today
1 Aug 2008 (Fri)SOCIAL MEDIA CLUB posted a great recap on the feedback it received via its blog and Twitter account. Among the ethical issues in Social Media raised were:
- The digital reputation of people, especially those who have not opted in to the “Conversation”
- Firms who misrepresent themselves online, pretending to be a “user”
- (1) Gaming the SEO system to gain rank, (2) underhanded manipulation of product reviews and comments, (3) the accumulation of friends with the intention of monetizing them.
- Identity theft
- Protecting children who widely use social media in ways many parents don’t know how to protect.
- Introducing “Asia Social Media Directory”
- Teen usage of Social Media - 2007 vs 2005
- Web 2.0 vs. Web 1.0
- No Blogger blog in Technorati Top 100?
- What Did ClappingTrees Say at Nexus 2007?
- Influential Japanese Love Twitter
- Time’s “25 Sites We Can’t Live Without” in 2007
