Risk Management for Social Media
• Do you have a communications policy that spells out who, and under what circumstances, speaks on behalf of your business or group?
• Do you have more than one person responsible for updating social media accounts which represent your organization?
• Are the sign in codes and passwords kept in a secure location?
• Do you have a policy for the type, tone, and frequency of your social media communications?
• Does at least one other person in your organization have the authority to ‘pull the plug’ in the event of a communications crisis?

Facebook or any other social media?
Final thoughts from Allen Gibson of StarMedia:
So what do we have today? SO many corporations, and small businesses, racing as fast as they can to jump on the social media bandwagon, while still spouting the same soothing clichés of old fashioned marketing. Still trying to force their information down your throat, with no real mechanism in place to answer you even if you did want to talk to them.
Doing ‘social media’ without being willing to BE social is going to look pretty dumb somewhere down the line, people.
