It seems the desire to add friends and connect through social networking got the best of a U.K. prison warden. The official signed up 13 criminals as Facebook friends. In addition, the warden is suspected of smuggling cell phones to his buddies, assumingly so they could keep in touch. Gawker has the whole story here.
Craig Newmark, the man who put the “Craig” in Craigslist, recently opened up to PRWeek and waxed poetic on a number of topics, including communications, public relations, media and politics.
When asked about the habits of Millennials, Newmark stressed that communications professionals need to focus on peer-to-peer communications, such as Twittering, blogging, and Facebook.
“Trust doesn't come from the top down anymore,” Newmark said. “That was true in [Mad Men's] Don Draper's days, but not now. Truth now comes on a peer-to-peer basis, from the bottom up.”
If you’d like to know Newmark’s suggestions on how communicators can go about engaging these peer-to-peer networks (as well as his thoughts on many other issues), read the interview.
