If you’re anywhere near Raleigh on Wednesday February 21st, be sure to drop by the Exploris center for a TIMA panel on Social Media Marketing/Reputation Management.
I’ll be joined by Lenovo’s David Churbuck, Crossroad PR’s Cindy Akus and moderator Nathan Gilliatt. It’s an informal panel discussion, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to answer your questions

I’m normally a fan of Elinor Mills stuff on CNET, but her story about the manipulation of Digg is just wrong, wrong and wrong.
The article basically discusses how marketers are using Digg to promote their company. This social media marketing is no different to search engine marketing, and those that try to get stories on the front page of Digg still need to provide quality content, or the community will bury it.
It’s not a scam or spam, yet Elinor refers to the practice in the same way SEO used to be discussed, a few years back
