Washington Post Suspends Columnist for Twitter Hoax
Written by Free Audio Books - Free audiobooks on August 31, 2010 – 8:41 pm -
On Monday morning, Mike Wise, a sports columnist at The Washington Post, published to his Twitter account that the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger would be suspended for five games.
Now Mr. Wise himself is suspended.
The information Mr. Wise published about Mr. Roethlisberger was made up — a test, he said, of how fast a piece of misinformation could spread online. (Mr. Roethlisberger was suspended for six games, not five, after he was accused of sexual assault in March, and the N.F.L. is considering whether to reduce the suspension.) Mr. Wise followed his initial post about the quarterback with three others about his sourcing for the news. And by the end of the day, the paper had suspended him for a month. N Y Times

Written by Free Audio Books - Free audiobooks on August 30, 2010 – 8:22 pm -
Tuesday morning, the company says. Instead, Twitter will now require all third-party app developers to use OAuth for user authentication.
This is a planned move Twitter first announced in December, and the company has posted a help page on its developer site with some resources meant to ease the transition to OAuth.
The Twitter API team has been dialing down the number of requests an app can make using the basic authorization method. That number will hit zero at 8AM Pacific time Tuesday.

Social media disasters occur for a number of reasons, the first being that your company probably messed up.

I’ve changed my mind. I think it’s time we get some outside help from a P.R. firm that knows how to promote our brand.

I have had several discussions with my business adviser to make sure that I find the right firm for our company. NY Times

iAds in iBooks may be closer than you think
Written by Free Audio Books - Free audiobooks on August 26, 2010 – 5:50 am -
The Wall Street Journal reports that iAds may appear in iBooks as publishers watch their profits dwindle amid technology advances like Apple’s iPad. The publishing industry has been less than supportive of these advances and the result could come at the expense of its content.

With heavy competition in the e-book market, prices are dropping and with it, profits. Enter Apple’s iAds. CNet
