OPRP Episode 035 – Facebook privacy, Adobe versus Apple, capitalism in social media – 05.14.10
The Online PR Podcast Episode 35 with Mark Polson of Code Greene and Pete Codella of Codella Marketing focuses on social media, privacy and capitalism, and discusses the role of public relations as both a sword and a shield.
Facebook’s anti-privacy stance
Mark and Pete discuss recent developments and articles about Facebook and its design and privacy policy changes. The social networking giant is perhaps too full of itself and even immature in its approach to taking personal profile information and automatically making it public information – available to search engines and advertisers.
For additional background, check out Facebook’s Gone Rogue on Wired and Facebook Exodus Planned for May 31 on Mashable.
Adobe versus Apple
We’ve all heard the discussion of no Flash for the iPad. Adobe has launched an aggressive campaign to fight back at Apple for refusing to play with their software. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
