"WTFabulous review Simon! thanks mate." - iconic88

"Great viewpoint! From Kneejerk to knee-safety. One of the things with these online tools today is that a lot of the beef which people may not like is hidden in the soup of their terms and conditions. There's 3 solutions to this, 1) share only what you're happy with them sharing and 2) always backup your images in case they either close down their business and 3) you become unhappy with their service and want to move your content elsewhere." - iconic88

"agree, especially within larger organisations. Best" - iconic88

"Great post Shelly! As we say, many hands make light work. As long as there's a core team to lead and support everyone within the organisation towards their objectives, these organisations will do well. An America's Cup yacht is never operated by one person. It's a team effort directed by the Captain and Navigator." - iconic88

"PS: cheers to Christmas to you and yours mate! may you enjoy a dram of Scotland's finest ;)" - iconic88

"haha...you've hit it on the nail Danny me thinks ;) Like you I share this sentiment, "Facebook testing such strict changes with that platform to gauge reaction before they implement it into the wider Facebook ecosystem"...I think too that it's a case of also bringing Instagram's TOS in line with their own policies so they can tap into that as another revenue stream. Simply part of the Integration process." - iconic88

"same same as you Shelly. I don't think it was that unexpected for them to tow in line with Facebook policies combined with the expected backlash. Big difference to them moving the goal posts and Facebook doing it." - iconic88

"The best 'storytellers'/content producers/brand navigators/experience architects/context architects will make people regret they looked away from their screen of choice and managing the entire eco-system of multiple screens. I think 'stickiness' or 'sticky points' is still a more effective term to describe the touchpoints Brian compared to 'found time' simply because once people are 'found' (a.k.a engaged), how will brands/businesses/organisations keep them engaged? Personally, I'm agnostic to the tools of the experience. I get fluent in their application and understand their utility to reach the final objective. Tools come and they go. They get better, they get more or less powerful (bandwidth locally and country/city specific understanding) yet the story and the conversations of those stories are all within this ocean/context behind the screens." - iconic88

"oh yes time will tell Scott." - iconic88

"What do you think about the new TOS from Instagram Shelly?" - iconic88

"time will tell how many opt out of Instagram and Facebook. The amount of investment many pour into these vessels may be too compelling to leave. The thirst to share and connect with our friends and family will invariably bring us back to these social wells." - iconic88

"thanks brother ;) Don't forget that meal we're having next time you're down here in Australia ;) Regards, Mahei" - iconic88

"Superb read +Brian Solis ;) Thank you! If there's one thing that I've noticed a lot over the years, it is the differences in how people interpret definitions to create/develop perceptions of what is 'social media'. It's a Gestalt field which people are 'boxing' in Newtonian terms. My forefathers who navigated the Pacific Ocean by using only the stars didn't only use the stars. That's a 'boxed' way of seeing things. They navigated holistically. There were a multitude of things to look at ('social objects'). They had to create 'context' to extract 'meaning' and understanding to pinpoint their position in order to make sense of their environment of chaos. By knowing where they were on the ocean, they inherently knew how far they were away from their destination and place of departure. They too worked backwards and mapped out the environment to navigate their way forward. The same can be said with "social producers". Their understanding parallels that of the ancient navigators.
