In this episode the discussion was based on a reported case from Knoxville, Tennessee, where the advertising agency Low and Tritt sued former client, The Pizza Kitchen, because of the statements made by the Pizza Kitchen’s owner on Facebook and Twitter. Alison shared some insights from a recent presentation by a lawyer about what constitutes defamation and what doesn’t. The group also discusses the broader issues with branding perceptions that need to be dealt with as well looking at public relations angles with online criticism.
In this episode, Bill and Nathan interviewed Tom Cheredar about social news sites, specifically Digg and Reddit. Tom has great insight and experience with Digg, Reddit, and other social news sites as both a freelance reporter and active blogger. Tom blogs at at TomCheredar.com.
In the interview Tom gives a little history on social news and some new social news sites that are more specific like Tipd.com. Tom also mentioned the 10 rules of social media post by Brian Wallace.
In this episode Nathan and Bill discuss what RSS is and why it’s important for consumers and marketers alike. RSS is great for marketers because it allows them to distribute their content more broadly than before. It’s no longer necessary to force people to come to your website to stay current with your content. Feed readers like Google Reader allow people to pull more content to themselves while services like FeedBurner allow content creators to provide RSS feeds via email.
