Maybe more will learn from your post. I am sure you can also find a quote from Forrest Gump that would fit AW's stupidity as well! You are correct about privacy and social media monitoring and responsiveness. I was at a networking meeting last night and our speaker showed a great example of a quasi-negative tweet he sent, which got a very quick follow up from the company. Good job by the company receiving negative tweet, and all went away satisfied. Crisis communications are vital in this internet age. It is simply a cost of doing business, which if you are taking risks, you need to be prepared to defend. As far as Anthony Weiner, he so totally missed the boat by lying. He made himself a joke, and it's sad he diminished a career with silliness and stupidity. I also wonder, however, if its the ego rush from the power trip that makes politicians believe they can dodge anything, even beat down the internet. It's not savvy, and it's not smart. But it does make good fodder for comedians!

In addition some companies (at least B2B) are concerned that employees will waste time during working hours posting nonsense to their Facebook pages, visiting a friend's page or send Tweets about the brand of coffee they're drinking in the cafeteria at break. Sort of reminds me how some B2B companies viewed the Internet 20 years ago. Totally agree.
