Watching This Video At Work Makes You A Better Employee (Social Blade Ep 70)

Topics Covered:

1) Regulating Google's results? Law prof calls "search neutrality" incoherent

"Neutrality"—if it's good enough for the core of the Internet, isn't it good enough for the edge? The biggest Internet providers say it is, and they would love to have the government slap a few neutrality rules on Google, just to see how the advertising giant likes the taste of the regulatory bridle.
In 2010, while the FCC was debating net neutrality rules, ISPs like Time Warner Cable settled on a "they're gatekeepers, too!" strategy.
"Google has led the charge to adopt regulation to ensure Internet openness, yet it has the ability and incentive to engage in a range of decidedly non-neutral conduct due to its control over so many aspects of the Internet experience," said one representative filing. "Google's core search application relies on a pay-for-priority scheme that is squarely at odds with its proposed neutrality requirements for broadband Internet access service providers."

2) Restricting Social Media at Work -- How Does it Affect Productivity?

Does surfing the web make you more productive in the office? Can five minutes on Facebook clear your mind and help you focus on real work? Some research says "yes," but a majority of companies prohibit some or all personal browsing during business hours. Despite reported productivity gains of 9% by employees who browse for pleasure during the day, strict regulations like HIPAA and concerns over IP loss often outweigh the potential benefits. Bridging the gap are companies that have brought similar tools in-house as a middle ground. Today's #E2sday brings you facts and figures on how CIOs view the use of social media from 9-5..

3) #HashTags
What are hashtags, why are they useful, how should/can you use them.


4) Scientific Proof Facebook is the Jersey Shore

So the title is a bit of hyperbole, but for most techy, social media savvy folks, the mainstream Facebook audience can sometimes seem a bit foreign, so I find it can help to think of them as a bit closer to the cast of Jersey Shore. Below you will find 5 pieces of scientifically proven, data-backed evidence that the "average" Facebook users is a little Jersey Shore. Although, aren't we all? Maybe GTL should be changed to GTLF?

5) The Flickr-Facebook Login: Zucker-Borg Will Assimilate Them Soon

From Mark Zucker-borg to Flickr: "You will be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile." There are times when one must accept that they are defeated and salvage what they can by integrating with their bitter rival. Such seems to be the case for Flickr, who today announced that they will be allowing users to login or join using their Facebook ID. The end is near for their sovereignty and status as a unique Yahoo! product.
