Uncontrolled message

We can't use Facebook - it's an uncontrolled message.

If I hear this one more time - I shall get very very cranky. It is NOT an uncontrolled message, you post information on Facebook, you can remove it, you can restrict who sees it, what they can do with it and how many people can administer said information.

I know Social Networking can be scary for some people but don't they realise that they are saying exactly the same things that were said about the introduction of the telegraph, telephone, individuals telephones at work, email and the internet.

Why does everyone come from a NO point view - rather than a 'that's interesting tell me more' point of view?

If you don't understand it - that's absolutely fine but be brave, honest and smart enough to ask questions and really listen to the answers.

The fact is people are talking about you and your organisation online, in person, in print and on the radio, so you can either listen or ignore it. But if I were you I would be listening because there are some smart people out there and they might just have a great idea you can steal!
