Facebook Is Not Your Friend
http://j.mp/IDH4jw (Huffington)
"Trust is essential for the success of any brand. Mark Zuckerberg may
think that Facebook's recurrent privacy flaps haven't much affected
the sometimes anti-social social network, but they represent a huge
potential threat to what he has built. The high-handed manner in which
members' personal information has been treated, the lack of
consultation or even communication with them beforehand, Facebook's
growing domination of the entire social networking sphere,
Zuckerberg's constant and very public declarations of the death of
privacy and his seeming imposition of new social norms all feed
growing fears that he and Facebook itself simply can not be trusted.
As Zuckerberg's fellow CEOs from the legacy media should have already
learned, losing the trust of your audience is the first step in losing
your audience itself -- and eventually the power of your brand."
