Disruptive Conversations

In this week's For Immediate Release episode #623, my report covered:

• The freak October New England snowstorm and the value again of social networks in crisis situations
• My view on the Klout kerfuffle and how Klout is violating historical integrity
  
  
• The awesome visualization power provided by Google+ Ripples (and examples thereof)
  
  
• Google Search Results and authorship - new ways to assert your authorship of content in ways that will show up in Google search results. Some articles about this:
  • http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/10/improving-look-of-authorship-in-your.html
  • http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/10/set-up-authorship-using-just-your-email.html
  • http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1408986

And if you listened to the very end of my report you would have heard an additional contribution from a "helper". :-)

You can, of course, listen to the episode online now.
