Really I feel that Google Buzz’s submission was a little premature, especially with the recent concern of privacy. I also think that Google’s most likely going down the same future that Windows experienced around the time of Windows ME. There products and releases appear to be less and less thought through and I also feel like rushed in an attempt to be 1st to market, and compete with its competitors releases. The privacy issue was was a problem that didn’t require a rocket scientist to figrue out, a very basic review could have shown such issues. Do you think Google may have received too much credit last year?

Very useful. Thank you for sharing. It is important that each agency looks at what every guru says (Shirky, Kawasaki, etc.) and look at their own organization needs, culture and come up with what is the best for them. I very much appreciate the reminders on "obligations". It is another interesting factor that with social media eruption, the business of communicating via social media has extended from being the business of communication units in an agency to all parts of the organization. Having passion for your work, for your organization, will help in identifying and communicating what matters most to colleagues and partners.

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm really glad you find the guidelines helpful. I imagine that when writing something like this for volunteers, it would be even more tricky where the "rules and obligations" are concerned. But I hope that the document at least helps to ask the right questions.
