I’ve just finished reading Jevon’s post on the Dachis Group’s new website (Jevon is a fellow Enterprise Irregular and Social Media Maven) – here’s the interesting part:
The new site has the beginnings of some new ideas for how our company will grow as a Social Business. If you go to the front page of the site you will see a stream of information about what we are doing. Some people won’t believe us that this is a live and unmoderated view of what we are doing. It is unlike anything else out there and represents a glimpse at the Dynamic Signal of our organization.
Wow.. now I really have to check this out. Except.. it does not load. Oliver Marks attributes it to the huge surge of traffic (but they are the Social Media Mavens, they should know the Twitter effect). Finally, I get in:
Wow.. quick initial reactions:
Yes, Jevon says it is unmoderated. But are there any filters on what email can get in or not, or are they perhaps using selected email account for this purpose?
I actually hope so, even though I am an advocate of transparency. But when you run a business, some info should stay confidential. In competitive situations even the fact you are corresponding with certain companies may be too much to disclose… Obviously the Collaboratory is at a very early stage, it will be interesting to watch just what degree of transparency the new Social Media Masters will deem practical.
Update: response on Twitter:
Hi Zoli – thanks for stopping by. Or at least trying to. I can confirm, the site was overloaded at launch and the stream is unmoderated.
Would love to hear more thoughts from you on transparency – we have our ideas and want to open up the discussion.
