Editor's Notes
- Context: On January 15th 2009 US Airways Flight 1549 was a scheduled commercial passenger flight from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina, that was successfully ditched in the Hudson River adjacent to midtown Manhattan six minutes after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport after being disabled by striking a flock of Canada Geese during its initial climb outLearnings:Speed of social media Twitter set the news agenda Twitter provided the content for the media Someone on Twitter, not US Airways, created the trend topic to capture all the news (16:56)

- Context: In March this year Nestle saw their Facebook page deluged with comments with regard their Palm Oil use.Learnings: Social media demands a new tone and languageThose responsible for engaging with it need to be sympathetic to the styles and rulesBrands need to earn social currency ready for any issue that may ariseThe skill is knowing when to engage and how
- Context: Employees have access to a huge range of communication tools, this image shows an employee taking a picture of a police support vehicle outside his place of workBrand spokespeople are not just “Corporate Communications” or the CEOEvery employee can be either a brand protagonist or detractor from executives to shop floorBut Very few are trained to speak “on behalf” of their employerVery few likely consider the impact of their words / actionsVery few realize the power of social media to turn their words into reputation capital or reputation fodder

The scheme is part of a private finance initiative providing thousands of rental bikes in return for painting London's roadways in the bank's corporate colours.Only minutes after the bank unveiled the bikes-for-rent in partnership with the city's Conservative administration, situationist guerrilla teams struck in the night to add their own mobile advertising messages under the Barclays logo. One of the messages, "Funding depleted uranium birth defects in Iraq", was particularly timely. New studies suggest that the ongoing genetic damage caused by the U.S. attack on the Iraqi city of Fallujah in 2004 may be worse than that caused by the atom bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 65 years ago.

The results? Predictably passive aggressive.The contest stems from a Greenpeace takeover of the logo hanging from the facade of BP's London headquarters last week.
