Reputation Management, why you need it?
If you think that the online information about your product is as secure as you thought, I will be sorry to say you are wrong.

A close introspection and we found that Facebook status and twitter updates appear in Google’s search results faster. Why Google? Because that’s where 90% of internet users go to fetch information about you. So make sure what you want them to know about you because your understanding about your brand and product is not what you say, but what Google suggest it is. Read the rest of this entry »

How to avoid accidental social media disasters
Do you have an active social media life? If the answer is a ‘Yes’ you need to be reading this post.
Post the ‘Weinergate’ incident, when an accidental tweet with an obscene photo that should have been made via direct message to an on-line girlfriend went public on Rep. Weiner’s timeline forcing his resignation, it is time to list out ways to avoid such social media disasters.
Armed with Android smartphones and numerous social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter is by itself a challenging situation. So you have your personal Twitter and Facebook account, and your companies’/clients’ both on a computer and sometimes even on your smartphone. Juggling these daily is daunting to say the least.
The other aspect is your own social life and how you conduct yourself in social circles, what pictures you post on Twitter and Facebook and so on. Ask around and you’re sure to know quite a number of people who have suffered the ‘Freudian slip’ or in this case the ‘Freudian click’ sending the wrong message to an ex-flame/spouse. You end up dealing with not just the horror of such a predicament but also the sinking feeling that it could have been easily avoided.
Here’s how you can avoid accidental social media disasters: Read the rest of this entry »

How to become even more unpopular
Did the board of directors of RBOS know about his affair? That is the most fascinating question arising from the lifting of the injunction on reporting of Sir Fred Goodwins affair with a colleague. CEO’s are frequently high profile individuals whose persona is stamped on the company they run. Think Virgin and Branson or Apple and Steve Jobs.
A recurring criticism of Goodwin was that he ran the company like a personal fiefdom with an abrupt and arrogant management style that seemed to encourage flunkies and discourage criticism and internal scepticism. The next few months will be interesting as we read more about the affair and how it impacted his decisions at the bank.
Board directors should pay attention: managing the company’s reputation is a board matter and if the CEO and company are inextricably linkedthey need to reassure themselves that their CEO is behaving with the utmost probity if it is not to impact share prices.
As for Sir Fred: well, he is already one of the most unpopular people in the UK. He has just shown us how to be even more unpopular.

SyFy Kills Stargate Universe (SGU) And Reputation
[Updated 13/06/2011] I don’t envy the work of a TV Network President. I envy the salary, sure – but trying to ensure that television continues to make money at the cost of quality, principles and a core fanbase can’t be easy. That’s probably not the way the job should work, but just try telling that to Dave Howe, President of NBC Universal’s ‘SyFy’ television network. Hordes of fans are turning their backs on the cable channel, and it’s primarily down to the decision to cancel fans’ favourite: Stargate Universe.
