Thus, this third conflictual element is the most difficult to deal with and recognise in a politically effective way, because in the course of the reproduction of daily life as “homo economicus”, our true “dependence to Pochamama” is structured in such a way that we see only our dependence on money and, therefore, on the social mechanisms that reproduce and accumulate money. Massimo de Angelis report on the Yasuni’s struggle against petroleum extraction in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, based and inspired by their “Mother Earth” related deity Pochamama, clearly discusses the same links we discuss in our section on neotraditional economics, and why these linkages between pre-industrial and post-industrial thinking and practices are important, see here for details.

Social Media Expert Douchebaggery – There’s only one thing worst than a room full of “social media experts”… a room full of social media experts who’ve been making a living off that “expert” status for a couple of years. Starf**king Douchebagger y – I’m amazed at the sheer number of Foursquare shouts and twitter messages I saw from talented, experienced, mature social media people that sounded something like “OMG! Paraphrasing Bono : There’s been a lot of talk, maybe too much talk about this year’s SXSWi.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, it won't be the first time, but I think while neighbourhood sites encourage recycling, 'going to a good home', local trader recommendations etc and of course local social connections generally, few have got down to the nitty-gritty of instrumental reciprocity.
Here's Streetbank , a site to support lending and sharing at neighbourhood level. All power to their elbows - it's a niche that the local websites haven't been big on, as far as I'm aware, based on the reflection that because we

Managing staff who participate in social networks.
This list also includes policies called; Staff blogging policies, enterprise social network guidelines, Employee Blogging Policies, Staff engagement in online communities, and so on. I’ve done a few press (radio, print) interviews this week re: Telstra so I thought I should have another look at how Enterprise, Government, Corporates, Not for Profits are handling the fact that their staff are members of social networks too.
I once had to step in to calm down a forum that was off the charts with negativity and

This afternoon I’m spending a half hour on a Skype video conversation to share a bit of how I use social media. figured it would be good to exercise my memory a bit and unearth some of the key stories that led me to to my social media use today, and perhaps surface some of my patterns. The history approach also shows that while the term “social media” was not in play when I jumped in, the social use of online media has been growing for many I These roots are significant because our patterns of use, our ways of embracing or rejecting technology are

Over the past few months I’ve been working on and off with co-authors Andy Gibson , Amy Sample Ward , and Clive Holtham and Nigel Courtney of Cass Business School , on a book about how we can use social technologies for social benefit. It’s going to be called Social by Social: a practical guide to using new technologies to deliver social impact and it should be published and distributed by NESTA next month. There’s case studies, a sort of routemap for planning and starting projects, lots of how-tos and an A-Z of key terms. Amidst the serious

image through ericmackonline.com This post may be a little chaotic as I'm using it to get a grip on some of my ideas about social media for organisations. Tomorrow I'm going to write with Sibrenne Wagenaar ; we are writing a booklet on social media for learning and collaboration. We start with social media for professionals (individuals), then teams, then organisations. It's the organisational chapter that needs much more thinking. I

Social Ripple Social Marketing
The main thing for me was to chat with Affiliate marketers about how social networks pass information around. You don’t need a big social network yourself. They are primarily one-to-many channel (blogger sets theme, tone and subject) and the social network sees the “finished product” - and While you are reading the presentation outline below I’d like you to think about the Twitter change today. Today Twitter turned off “see replies to those I’m not following”.

With the publication this month of the Internet Advertising Bureau’s ‘ Social Media Ad Metrics Definitions’ , it seemed a good moment for me to write about the thorny subject, and have a look at some of the controversy around the measurement of ROI in social media. The ROI within social media has long been a bone of contention, and seems likely to become ever more so, with the equally lightning spread of both social media use and savage budget cuts. I’ll ll return to the IAB’s publication later, but in the meantime, let’s take a look at the background into which it

I’ve been co-designing and c0-facilitating a number of workshops for the CGIAR and FAO over the past few years about knowledge sharing, and more recently, this phenomenon people call “social media.” Social Media Strategy Planning & Measurement - What’s Working?
With social media, however, strategy is a compass, not a map, 8221; Part of this work has been to comb through resources and create some launch pads that are relevant to NGOs and non profits. I
