Google Street View Continues to Raise Privacy Concernsby Brian CooperGoogle Street View, a Google Maps feature that lets users see images of streets and the surrounding areas, continues to generate controversy. Since its launch in May 2007, the feature has prompted questions about whether it constitutes an invasion of privacy, complaints about inappropriate images, and even a lawsuit. SOCIAL MEDIA FAILby Eric BrownIf you think your customers aren't talking about you, better rethink your position. You can no longer bury your head in the sand without suffering the consequences. The story reported in the New York Times last week is a classic example of what Not To Do. It outraged folks and drew over eighty comments. Every company, small medium or large should be listening, and taking action. The world is different today, take heed, grasp and embrace this space we call Social Media. 5 Questions with Dave Naylorby Manoj JasraSearch Engine Strategies London is less than a month away and is host to a number of great speakers.

Return to the Top of this Page In response to... SOCIAL MEDIA FAILI think Eric's point hits on SEO in a tangential way. Doing a search on any terms related to this company will eventually contain blog postings,discussions, and other social media conversations that will likely be negative. If this company doesn't smarten up, they'll be in a situation where their "official" web site and "official" take on this whole incident is pushed to the fourth, fifth or sixth page of search engine results. In other words, these conversations affect SEO very much. Tom Myer In response to... Google Street View Continues to Raise Privacy ConcernsIt's the realization that "big brother' has been watching us and for quite some time. It's not the fear of this program and it's limited capabilities, but the whole idea in general that this program even exists and the realization that it may not be the only tool the government is using to quote "track" us. Don't worry! I'm not some crazy "conspiracy theorist", I'm just a "realist" and I don't live with my head under the sand and think that if it's not happening to me, then it's not happening. I'm far from saying everyone else lives in a bubble; I'm just saying that for me, I can't live that way. I want to be connected to everyone and try my best to care about everything and not turn a blind eye to things. I know! At what cost do we keep our selves connected is the real idea in question here.
