NFL's Facebook Message to Fans Example of Social Media Fail
By Stephanie Stradley - AOL NewsWhy is it that so many large corporations are so bad at social media? The latest example of social media failure is the NFL's recent use of Facebook to communicate with fans. On Tuesday, the NFL used Facebook to get Roger Goodell's message out to fans about his desire to get a labor deal done by March. Most fans agree with this point of view. However, the Facebook message went beyond that and added an ill-advised question: "A message from Commissioner Roger Goodell on a new agreement: "This is an opportunity to create a better future for the NFL, to improve the game for our fans." How would ...
Opinion: Can 500M Facebook Users Be Wrong?
By Dave George - AOL News(July 21) -- Mark Zuckerberg is expected to announce this week that Facebook has reached 500 million users. This is incredible! I mean, think about that! That means that there are more than 6.3 billion people who don't use Facebook! What do you people do with your day? Work? Read?? Talk to each other in real life? Lame! Now, yes, 500 million is a terrific milestone, and everyone at Facebook should be proud of what they've accomplished. Did you know that if Facebook were a country, it would be ranked third in terms of population -- ahead of the United States and behind India? (China is still ...

Obama, Social Media, and Presidential Advances in Communication Technology
By Mari Fagel - Politics DailyPresident Barack Obama is more in tune with technology and social media than any president before him. He's participated in Q&As with YouTube users. He has nearly four million followers on Twitter and more than eight million fans on Facebook, the site that helped get him elected in the first place. "This president is such an electronics geek," said April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Network. "He's even got his own BlackBerry." Nonetheless, Obama's tenure in the White House so far has underscored a very different kind of lesson: that even sophisticated ...
Bill Clinton's Ticker More Popular Than Dick Cheney's
By Ernie Smith - AOL News(Feb. 25) -- Cue the bad jokes about the bleeding-heart liberals. Despite the fact that former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Dick Cheney each has an extensive history of heart problems, a review of the data shows that Clinton's recent scare received much more attention in both the mainstream and social media than Cheney's. Here's a recap: Comparing mainstream news coverage 5,581 articles on Google News about Bill Clinton's emergency heart surgery Feb. 11 and 12 1,964 articles on Google News about Dick Cheney's fifth heart attack from Monday to Wednesday » ...
'Anonymous' Captured Neda's Death, and Now the Polk Award
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyIn Farsi her name means "voice." Almost instantaneously, screengrabs of 26-year-old student Neda Agha-Soltan, shot through the heart on June 20, 2009, by the Iranian regime's hired guns, became the face of a movement. So powerful was the 40-second video of Neda dying before our eyes, the regime tried to denounce it as a fake. When that didn't work, they blamed Neda's death on unarmed protesters and the CIA. ...
Brandon Jennings Not Bipolar, Just Joking
By Bethlehem Shoals - AOL NewsWell, Brandon, you really got me. I was dumb enough to think that you were serious about being bipolar. Good thing you set me straight. Don't believe everything you read on Twitter, I guess. So dumb, in fact, that I wrote a lengthy piece on what this casual revelation said about changing attitudes toward mental illness in sports. A piece that, it should be said, ended up having very little to do with you. What mattered to me was that this condition is less and less of a big deal, which is the case whether or not you're in the picture. Allow me to quote myself:"If he's joking or fudging a ...

Bullied Girl Posts Video, Gets Help From Police
By not in system - AOL News(Dec. 10) -- Her choppy blue-and-blond hair hiding the fear in her eyes, a 15-year-old voiced her dislike for a hip-hop music group and got punched in the face by a classmate. The whole thing was caught on tape, and social media helped police in their investigation. A crowd of six to 10 classmates were following the self-described emo girl and her boyfriend home from school in Newark, Ohio, on an autumn day in September. Some kids were taping it and others were egging on the assailant, who was on the school wrestling team. It all started because Alexis Xanders doesn't like Insane Clown ...
