Re: Charlie Brooker’s YouTube appeal for The Anthony Nolan Trust

Just to say that if you are advancing in years (coughs) and over 40 (but under 50) you can still register http://www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/bon... . The Anthony Nolan Trust won't let you register if you are over 40 but older donors can still be useful. You can do it when you give blood.

Re: Googles top search terms of 2010 revealed… Brits are lazy

I admire you admitting that ; ) And you're right, that's completely resonable explanation as to why some people might Google Google... but all the way at number 6?

i do that all the time: Google search will point you in the direction of the regional version of a website. on the other hand, i am perhaps just lazy.

Yeah I liked it as a collection of sensible things to do but thought the 8 points could be summed up pretty neatly as things your nana would have told you: http://bit.ly/cgrHrL

Decent detailed post on Facebook Jordon. I'm a bit fan of Inside Facebook, but hadn't come across CheckFacebook before - thanks for sharing.

Brilliant! It was a bit like the Chuckle Brothers this morning....

Those tweets are only set to increase. It should be interesting how brands cope in making sense of it all.

Thought provoking post. thanks for sharing

Eek! There are certainly more effective, ethical ways to research one's competitors. This guy sounds as if he was trying to launch his career in all the wrong ways.

Here at ASOMO we have received several approaches from people claiming to work for "agencies" or as freelancers working for "major clients" (that they cannot name). At the beginning we would happily share our knowledge and insight on the social media space but with time we have wised up to these covert intelligence gathering operations.

Kostas, thanks very much for clarifying things. I will update this post with the information you have provided and I’m happy to put this all behind us.

After being alerted by email regarding this issue, Social Media Ltd would like to make it clear that it does not support or engage in the activities described. We value the professional and transparent relationship that social media companies share.

This was an unfortunate solitary incident and does not represent the company’s principles or business ethics. The individual in question was employed less than a week ago on a trial basis. He acted independently and without instruction and as a consequence, he is no longer employed by us.

We apologise for any inconvenience that has been caused by this individual and consider this matter concluded.

@James, @Danny, @Roger Cheers guys.

@limenoodle I get the sense they may have hired someone who doesn't get it and went rogue. At least I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt until I find out otherwise. I've invited Social Media Ltd. to clarify whether this person acted alone or on their behalf

@Dan I think this is the closest I'll come to being Columbo

@tzugidan You know, I used to think 'social media' wasn't brain surgery, but maybe I was wrong ; )

@rachel we shouldn't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch. I'm not going to change a thing, and keep things open

@Melissa Many thanks. Ranting and name calling wouldn't have got me anywhere, tempting as it was!

Wow this guy doesn't know much about the accessibility of info online if he thought he could get away with that! And kudos to you for outing him without resorting to ranting and name-calling.

Rachel — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:58:34 -0000

Grrr. Not a good example for the industry at all. I too am happy just talkign about the stuff, so I'm going to have to be more circumspect in future with people I don't know

tzugidan — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:41:40 -0000

If he had to call you for information, he has demonstrated a low level of intelligence and demonstrated to his new employer that he does not have the tools to do the job at hand.

This simply shows you know more than he. Get it. What's he going to do with what you told him? I mean, think about it. If a brain surgeon told me all he knew about brain surgery...and you handed me a scalpel....what the hell am I going to do with it?

This kid is just bottom shelf talent...you just need to keep your guard up at all times...

I retweeted. Not all that long ago, this was called "pretexting" here in the US... and a few folks got to go on trial for wire fraud. Completely unacceptable behavioUr.

Hey Jordan... Ugh - I've kind of been there, although in different circumstances. Takes a good man to be equitable and sane in the fallout - so bravo you... nicely put. As you say, the great thing about this little pocket of stuff is that we proactively choose to get along and share ideas (and the odd beer) with one another. Like you, that's one of the reasons I really love it. You're right - this guy and his new firm will probably need a bunch of luck... as they're certainly not making friends. They're now off my Xmas list too : )

Brilliantly done, what an idiot this guy is...I bet he a "Wall Street" era Michael Douglas suit and matching hair cut.

Very interesting. Sounds like Social Media Ltd either don't understand the nature of social business or they have hired someone who doesn't.
