Have you ever wanted to participate in a flash mob?
Well this is a flash mob of a different color.
"Viral flash mob micro trash film project"
This is how it started.I wrote the following note to family and friends on facebook;
Hi All
I am working on a documentary about micro trash.
I started by filming road side trash.First i started by shooting a "before clean up"
shot of high density road side trash and then an "after clean" shot.
Next
My next filming will be of a road side pull out with a high density of micro trash.
I will do a before clean up shot(ideally to frame the shot well i will be looking for a crescent shaped pull out.).
Next i will do a half clean up shot to give some contrast of before and after.
The last shot will be a shot with the cleanup complete.
Other planed shots
#2 shoot
Dig down one foot and examine micro trash penetration(along the road/on the beach/in a field)
as it breaks down in to the sand or soil.
#3 shoot
Taking the trash home i will lay out and sort the trash on a tarp,
a trash inventory of sorts.
Weigh of trash collected?
#4 Editing and narrating.
Micro trash is a symptom of a larger social problem.
what is it?
Between now and then
I invite you to film one or more of the same shots and share them on facebook.
THIS IS WHERE THE "VIRAL FLASH MOB MICRO TRASH FILM PROJECT" STARTS.
My intent is to raise awareness about micro trash,
whether it be on the side of the road,on ocean beaches or along rivers.
I am not judging, more than anything,
i am trying to understand the social disease that got the trash there in the first place.
Raising awareness about micro trash i believe will reduce its spread.
How you can help raise awareness;
--Share this with friends, lets get viral.( the things you share with people are a reflection of your character,
the more noble the content you share, the more you bring a environment of nobility in to being.)
--Make a comment or start a conversation.(thoughtful words have a massive positive social ripple effect.)
--chose one of the shots above, film it and share it hear.Have you ever wanted to participate in a flash mob?

The National Union of Israeli Students (NUIS) has become a full-time partner in the Israeli government’s efforts to spread its propaganda online and on college campuses around the world.
NUIS has launched a program to pay Israeli university students $2,000 to spread pro-Israel propaganda online for 5 hours per week from the “comfort of home.”
The union is also partnering with Israel’s Jewish Agency to send Israeli students as missionaries to spread propaganda in other countries, for which they will also receive a stipend.
"This active recruitment of Israeli students is part of Israel’s orchestrated effort to suppress the Palestinian solidarity movement under the guise of combating “delegitimization” of Israel and anti-Semitism."
The involvement of the official Israeli student union as well as Haifa University, Tel Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University and Sapir College in these state propaganda programs will likely bolster Palestinian calls for the international boycott of Israeli academic institutions.
Paying students to spread Israeli propaganda online
"This is our opportunity, as Israeli students, to provide hasbara [state propaganda] that is correct and balanced, to help in the struggle against the delegitimization of the State of Israel and against hatred of Jews in the world."
That is one of the exhortations in a Hebrew document issued by NUIS, and translated by The Electronic Intifada, inviting Israeli students to apply for a program to help spread Israel’s message.The National Union of Israeli Students (NUIS) has become a full-time partner in the... more

(Editor's note: This is the second in a series of five Underreported Stories of 2011*)
By Josh SternbergCurrent.com contributor
Just when you thought it was safe to post that scurrilous update to your favorite social network. Earlier this year, The Guardian reported that the U.S military awarded a $2.76 million contract to Ntrepid, a California corporation, to develop software that will create fake personas (sock puppets) to try to influence dialogue among online denizens while propagating American propaganda (though after the Guardian’s article published, military officials told them these fake personas will not be on Twitter or Facebook).
The program has been described as an “online persona management service,” where a military official can operate up to 10 different identities from all around the globe, infiltrating all sorts of social networks.
As reported by The Guardian, according to Centcom (the division of the military that awarded this project) spokesperson Bill Speaks, “The technology supports classified blogging activities on foreign-language websites to enable Centcom to counter violent extremist and enemy propaganda outside the U.S.”

Fino a un decennio fa, era impensabile per gli agricoltori l’uso di Internet per ottenere notizie del settore e comunicare con i consumatori. Oggi invece, la situazione è molto cambiata: gli agricoltori hanno una storia e stanno imparando a raccontarla.
Questo “racconto” non avviene più intorno a un tavolo e tra un gruppo ristretto di interlocutori, ma si è spostato sui social network, sfruttando l’enorme potenziale che queste piattaforme possono offrire, e grazie al numero sempre più crescente di agricoltori che utilizzano pc e smartphone per scrivere sui propri blog e connettersi ai loro profili Facebook e Twitter.
Anche noi, come molti nuovi professionisti del settore – i contadini 2.0 -, grazie alla nostra esperienza quotidiana sui social media abbiamo compreso che sono un mezzo fondamentale per:
-Condividere informazioni e idee con altri agricoltori, che non avrebbero mai potuto incontrare di persona, per imparare nuove tecniche di lavorazione.
-Creare una community solida, soprattutto tra i produttori locali, per discutere di questioni importanti che riguardano il settore.
-Creare una relazione molto più stretta ed efficace con i consumatori.
-Espandere la Customer Experience, grazie a una conoscenza più approfondita delle abitudini alimentari e d’acquisto dei consumatori.
-Consentire alle persone di effettuare una visita virtuale nella propria azienda.
-Commercializzare direttamente i propri prodotti.
-Educare le persone riguardo l’agricoltura e la sana alimentazione.
Queste, ovviamente, sono solo alcune delle possibilità che i social media offrono per permettere a un’azienda – nel nostro caso legata alla distribuzione dei prodotti bio, ma ovviamente il discorso è generale – di rendere molto più estesa la propria rete di relazione sia con gli altri professionisti del settore che con i produttori.
Vogliamo conoscere da voi quale altro uso dei social può fare un’azienda così possiamo arricchire il nostro elenco :)Fino a un decennio fa, era impensabile per gli agricoltori l’uso di Internet per... more

Social networking site Facebook’s latest service Timeline has been globally rolled out. The company said Timeline had so far been available only to a few people, but now it had made it available to everybody. Timeline was announced by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the f8 conference in September. Here’s all you need to know about Facebook Timeline.
What is Timeline
Timeline allows users to compile and let others see everything they have shared so far, from photos, stories to shared videos and music. Some of the things a user can do on Timeline are: edit his basic info, jump to the past, view his activity log, check highlights from each month, star stories he wants to highlight, add life events, update his status, view and add photos and share his a
pp activity.
How it is different from your current profile
Presently, only latest pictures or posts of users are visible, while large part of the previous posts are hidden. The only way to retrieve them is to scroll down and click on “More Stories”. Timeline on the other hand retains a user’s older posts, photos etc and also groups them datewise making it easy and convenient for viewing.
Activating Timeline
To get Timeline, a user needs to simply go to the Introducing Timeline page and click on ‘Get It Now’. Or he can wait till he receives an announcement at the top of his profile.
How it works
Once a user upgrades to Timeline, he will get seven days to review everything that appears on his Timeline before anyone else can see it. You can also choose to publish your Timeline at any time during the review period. If a user decides to wait, his timeline will automatically go live after seven days.
His new Timeline will replace his profile, however, all his stories and photos will remain there. Users, who want to see how their Timeline would appear to other people, can click on the ‘gear menu’ at the top of their Timeline, and select “View As.” This shows them how their timeline will appear to a specific friend or public.
Friends List
For those who always keep their Friends List private, Timeline is a curse as it prominently displays just how ‘popular’ you are on Facebook and who all are connected with you. There is no apparent way to turn it off, unlike earlier settings. This may be a major put-off for those who do not want to share their Friends List with all and sundry for various reasons.

Ilya Zhitomirskiy, the co-founder of Facebook rival Diaspora, has died.
The 22-year-old was one of four New York-based students who launched Diaspora as a "privacy-aware, user-controlled" social network.
It was set up in response to criticism that Facebook was not handling the privacy of its users well.
The cause of Mr Zhitomirskiy's death is yet to be determined. The San Francisco coroner's office said it will have details in several weeks time.
In tribute, the home page of Diaspora featured a giant dandelion seed head next to an image of Mr Zhitomirskiy.
Public memorial services are being planned for Mr Zhitomirskiy in San Francisco later this week.
A statement by co-founder Peter Shurman said: "We'll all miss Ilya more than we can say. Ilya was a great friend and a brilliant person, a visionary whose work for a better future online brought hope to many people."
Start-up
The site was launched a year ago by Mr Zhitomirskiy and three fellow students at New York University. Facebook's co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg, said he donated an undisclosed sum to the project.
Diaspora featured pages that were similar to those on Facebook but offered simpler privacy settings. However, its launch was not without criticism.
When it released its first code in September, developers found multiple security bugs. Some also questioned whether the team could deliver their vision.
It is one of several sites - including Appleseed, OneSocialWeb and Elgg - that aims to challenge Facebook's model.Ilya Zhitomirskiy, the co-founder of Facebook rival Diaspora, has died.

Ilya Zhitomirskiy, one of the co-founders of Facebook-alternative Diaspora, died Saturday night at the age of 22.
A spokesman for the San Francisco medical examiner's office confirmed the death of Zhitomirskiy to FoxNews.com, originally reported Sunday by popular tech news blog TechCrunch. He was unable to confirm reports that the young man committed suicide.
Confirmation of the final cause of death could take weeks, he said.
Peter Schurman, a Diaspora spokesman, declined to comment on specific details but acknowledged Zhitomirskiy's death. "We're all very sad that Ilya has passed away," Schurman told FoxNews.com.
The New York University graduate was struggling to launch his social network Diaspora -- an open-source social network Zhitomirskiy started building with classmates Dan Grippi, Maxwell Salzberg and Raphael Sofaer early last year. Their goal was to provide an idealistic Facebook alternative with an emphasis on user control and privacy.
The team struggled with money as it worked to release its website, despite quickly raising $200,000 in funding through venture capitalists and microfinance startup Kickstarter after being featured in The New York Times.
But a blog post from the company on Oct. 12 begged followers for more money; the company argued that PayPal had been "mysteriously and arbitrarily" freezing donations to the site. PayPal reportedly liberated the funds.

Google+ Pages are here. Yes, Google also calls it a PAGE. Google+ is always on the run to catch up with Facebook. Having said that, will Google+ be able to hit the bulls eye with its newly launched Google+ Pages? If we look at the statistics, Google+ has already 100 million members. Still, Google+ has not been able to catch the pulse of the users. Arguably, Google put have pinned its hopes on pages!

(Reuters) – Internet companies such as Google, Twitter and Facebook are increasingly co-opted for surveillance work as the information they gather proves irresistible to law enforcement agencies, Web experts said this week.
Although such companies try to keep their users’ information private, their business models depend on exploiting it to sell targeted advertising, and when governments demand they hand it over, they have little choice but to comply.

Hello people, we are in the middle of the weekend over here in India, and I'm going through mixed feelings about something really close to my heart. For the last couple of weeks I was working on my "Social Responsibility" project and finally, today in the morning I changed the website for the same to a completely new look. I think it has turned out the way I wanted, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed to hear your comments about the same. I invite you visit my new website.

With mastery of our own imagination deactivated, the default setting is to mirror the incoming data stream. Output only what is input. With the modern adult mind discouraged from connecting with reality through actual felt experience, input is predictably derived from the mainstream media. The reality blueprint is transmitted, electronically and literally, from the screen. Consciousness creates reality. We are not helpless objects inside it; we help make it.With mastery of our own imagination deactivated, the default setting is to mirror the... more

Sarà capitato anche a voi.
O potrebbe essere il vostro peggior incubo ;-)
O quantomeno uno dei motivi per cui sui Social preferite non entrare, con la vostra azienda.
Il Cliente che entra nella pagina FB aziendale e inizia a sparare a zero. A lamentare disservizi. Magari ad insultare. Qualche volta, fortunatamente, a chiedere con garbo informazioni e a segnalare problemi (veri o solo percepiti).
In pubblico, maledizione, dicono molti marketing manager: “Questo non possiamo accettarlo, che i clienti, nel nostro ambito social ci facciano cattiva pubblicità e facciano scappare altri clienti, ci danneggino.”
Noi non siamo d’accordo. Se hanno qualcosa da dire su di noi o contro di noi, possiamo stare certi che lo faranno lo stesso, in altri ambiti, in altri luoghi – che noi non vedremo e quindi non sapremo che c’è un problema, non potremo monitorarlo, non potremo reagire e risolvere la crisi.
Per noi, dalle nostre idee e dalle nostre esperienze, i Social sono uno strumento prezioso di relazione e di marketing, ma abbiamo capito che ci sono alcune regole di base che è meglio seguire, per essere dei buoni Social Citizen e per tenere buoni e sani rapporti con le persone.
La prima cosa che abbiamo capito è che i social network e soprattutto la fan page su Facebook supportano il servizio clienti ma non lo sostituiscono. Dover forzare il customer care esistente dentro FB complica le cose, è molto più rapido ed efficiente parlarsi al telefono o via mail.
Ma dentro le relazioni sui Social, il fatto chiave è che le persone sono mosse da emozioni, quando interagiscono. Tanti sono contenti, e ci fanno i complimenti. E noi siamo felici.
Altri, con il carico di anni di vessazioni da parte delle aziende, al primo problema già si vedono un film di rotture di scatole, di fregature, di azienda che non ascolterà e non risolverà. E quindi partono subito a testa bassa, urlano “Apocalisse, dovete morire”.
Ora, in molti casi si tratta di problemi percepiti (davvero ci ha scritto un tipo insultandoci a sangue perché un router non funzionava, salvo poi alla verifica telefonica per risolvere il problema rendersi conto che non aveva attaccato la spina !!), in altri di problemi reali. Ma bisogna saperli riconoscere e farli riconoscere al cliente.
I commenti negativi, quando capitano, vanno moderati e possono diventare un’opportunità per spiegare_ meglio l’azienda (quando non si ha nulla da nascondere i social media sono il meglio).
Anzi i commenti negativi, stranamente, possono rappresentare la possibilità di dimostrare che siamo autentici, perché una pagina con soli commenti positivi non sembra vera :-S
E comunque dai commenti negativi individuiamo aree di miglioramento – problemi che stanno nascendo e che riusciamo a risolvere per tutti prima che diventino un problemone – per tutti.
Quello che ci siamo dati come regolette, per rispondere ai social è:
1) Prima di rispondere leggi bene i commenti e comprendi il punto di vista di chi ha scritto
2) Ricordati che sei lì anche per imparare da quello che dicono le persone (per migliorare il servizio o la comprensione di esso)
3) Sempre armarsi di pazienza e non aver problemi a ripetere spesso le stesse cose: chi capita sulla nostra fan page potrebbe arrivarci per la prima volta e quindi essersi perso mesi di conversazioni , informazioni e ripetizioni. E non per colpa sua.
4) Anche se ti insultano, non prenderla mai sul personale e non offendersi. Al peggio, se uno è veramente maleducato, dimostrare che per noi invece l’educazione e il rispetto è sempre un valore e aiuta a risolvere meglio e prima i problemi.
5) Spesso sui Social non ce la fai a risolvere i problemi in modo efficace. In quel caso prendere il contatto personale via email o via telefono, anche per via di dati personali che non possono essere condivisi sui social network
6) Prima di postare qualsiasi cosa, rileggerlo tre volte con occhio critico. E togliere tutto quanto di emozionale, aggressivo o poco chiaro ci possa essere.
Voi avete altri suggerimenti, sulla base della vostra esperienza aziendale, da condividere?
