the monitoring and reporting aof adverse report.

LIVEWORLD ARE A BUNCH OF POWER ABUSER!!!
I was unfairly given a 30 day ban from E-bay forums by the corrupt power abusing liveworld moderators. They banned me because I was being harrased by some member on ebay who was stalking me and sending me abusive mails and when I reported it they gave me the ban instead of him. I tried contacting liveworld staff about the matter but it wa sone of the most horrible, incompetant customer services I have ever encountered in my life.Liveworl treated me horribly unfair, they ruined my ebay sales by giving me a ban and they never apologized or responded back to me about their corrupt behaviour. they tried to sweep it under the carpet just hoping their mistake and wrongful treatment of me would just dissapear. I will never forget or forgive liveworl for being such disgustingly incompetant bunch of corrupt power abusers.

Re: 2012 SXSW Interactive panels worth your vote

Thanks so much for including my panel on the Culture of Yes. I'm hoping that those who are navigating social marketing in healthcare, insurance, finance, food & beverage and other highly regulated industries will support it and then come and help make it a really productive session. I'm planning on giving real-world examples and practical steps for creating the culture required to evolve even the most highly regulated companies into social organizations. I really appreciate your support!

Re: Should we close our website community in favor of Facebook?

Kare Christine Anderson — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:31:32 -0000

As Chris Brogan has noted it helps to "own" your community site, which tilts me in favor of not giving it up for one only on FB, but rather to pull relevant people from a FB group onto "my" online community. Perhaps what is needed to rejuvenate or jumpstart an online community are adept community moderators such as LiveWorld provides :-)

Valerie @LiveWorld — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:40:46 -0000

Yes. Great site, by the way!

Anonymity =/= being totally anonymous, either. It's also about using a handle of YOUR choice to represent you.

Though totally anonymous stuff is fine too... as long as you have a moderation process!

Re: The benefits of anonymity online

Dave Land — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:05:48 -0000

Very much the topic of the moment: I ran across http://my.nameis.me/ yesterday, which argues for the value — nay, necessity — of anonymity and pseudonymity in online communities. For a lot of people, their online pseudonym is more their "real" name than the thing put on their birth certificate. Imagine Google Plus demanding that the artist Banksy register as "Reginald Banks" or whoever he really is (as if Banksy would register with Google Plus!).

Re: How brands can solve their Facebook XXX content problems

Christopher12 — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:38:51 -0000

The Darwinian view of ape to human evolution is particularly absurd. The broad assumptions about alleged apeman ancestors are based on incomplete skeletons, skull fragments and much storytelling. I wrote in a previous DTF article about how CAT scans, which reveal the inner structures of fossil skulls, are showing these ancient skulls to be either fully ape or fully human. No ape/human "missing link" has ever been found.

Re: Adverse events only small percentage of comments on pharma Facebook Pages

Melissa Davies — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:30:59 -0000

Bryan and Jay, this is really interesting research. It reinforces what we see in our analysis as well - though we do see Adverse Events in online patient/caregiver discussions, they are consistently a small share of the overall conversation. Thanks for sharing!

Bryan and Jay, this is great research. It reinforces what we see in our analysis too - AEs are really a very small share of online health discussion. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Brad, Sorry for the delay. Just noticed you had responded to my comment. The numbers are based on research done by Dr. Jay S. Cohen, M.D - a nationally recognized expert on medications and side effects(you can look it up online). He has written extensively on AEs. Current channels do NOT include social media. Current channels are mostly patients, doctors, pharmacists calling pharma companies' drug support lines.

Brad Einarsen — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:10:13 -0000

Semantelli, can you provide a reference for the 5% of AEs being reported through current channels? I'm trying to determine if you mean that 5% of AEs that happen in the wild are reported (and 95% are not) and I'm trying to determine if "current channels" include or exclude social media like Facebook.

Thanks

Jenna — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 13:55:46 -0000

Thanks for chiming in, Siva. We've also seen studies suggesting a flood of AEs should not be feared. So much more to gain, really.

Re: Getting ready for Facebook pharma changes

Semantelli — Tue, 31 May 2011 18:53:17 -0000

We don’t think pharma should walk away from facebook, fearing compliance or adverse events(AE) being reported by patients. Industry research shows only 5% of AEs are actually reported through current channels. Having patients report AEs via facebook, and encouraging feedback from patients and doctors on products will help improve patient outcome. We help pharma companies monitor AEs in Facebook with our platform. Facebook isn’t going away and that’s where Gen Y and - you name it Gen - are going to “live”.Siva NadarajahVP, Product Development and StrategySemantelli Corp.

Great post, Kevin. Did you mention that he also has a tremendous sense of humor, planting an earworm in the minds of his fanbase? I would not have expected such a trickster to be behind his soaring, uplifting, ethereal music.

Re: Grade your Facebook Page with our Social Scorecard

Mark Williams — Mon, 23 May 2011 17:22:13 -0000

Thanks for the kind words, Dave.

Comparing the Social Scorecard to Klout is an apples to oranges comparison though-Klout is measuring an individual's personal social capital in relation to the influential connections that person has, where the Social Scorecard is really a self-evaluation tool.

Something like Klout can be gamed and I'm personally leery of any site that claims to measure social capital. It's a good topic for another day-but the short version is that Klout/Twitter Grader and tools like that can be manipulated to yield artificially high scores; but the *actual* influence of the individual is not that significant.

With the Social Scorecard, one grades their own efforts, for the purpose of getting self-improvement. It's not intended to be something you shout from the rooftops-"look, I scored a 92!" --in part because bragging about how good you are at being social is kind of anti-social, don't you think?
The scorecard is really just a systematic way of looking at one's own social media efforts in a way that lets the user know what they are doing well, and what they can improve upon. I prefer the Zen approach--the only person we need to compare ourselves to is...ourselves. Understanding is the key to Enlightenment. :-)
