As more and more people turn to the social web for news and opinions they can trust, the need for a strong commitment to ethical practices grows more urgent. The true power of social media lies in how it can amplify word of mouth.
Social Media Today partnered with the Social Media Group to present a webcast called "The Ethics of Blogging." If we can judge it by the number of questions we received and the chatter on our Twitter hashtag, #smtwebcast, it was a big hit. Many thanks to our fantastic moderator, Maggie Fox, and our knowledgable and vocal panel of experts, Augie Ray, Daniel Tunkelang, and John Jantsch.
