Social Media:: A shocking example of the importance of checking your content - And how it can all go so wrong

Twitter is home to a vast number of accounts that are set up anonymously, with the intent to build a large, loyal following to then sell on the account. I've just been followed by one of these such accounts - positioned as being by a Social media expert. And one that only wants to be followed by others directly in this area - so trying to gain maximum Klout/Kred/PeerIndex scoring.

Search :: Google highlights key words in red – but only on Hong Kong site - Is this for the user or for censorship?

I am unable to replicate this on the Google.com site - key words from a search phrase on the (google.com.hk) Hong Kong website are highlighted in red. I've checked to see if thse are blacklisted and they aren't, so it this a new search feature?

Social Media:: Menshn – A new Twitter on topic, and only on topic - Well, I've set up my Menshn account and ...

Well, I've set up my Menshn account and profile. The new microblogging site - started by Louise Mensch and Luke Bozier launched last week and is accessible to US users only - so after a little bit of sidestepping the filter, I managed to get in and register. With Twitter having attracted over half a billion registrants and of these, they claim 205 million active users, the new platform has been created to contain - ringfence - the conversation rather than engender wide debate. The featured topics are shown prominently - the US election, UK politics, Euro 2012, Tech and - eh - women. No men then.
