4: Ethics
Promote Ethical Behavior Other Information:
This is tougher to get a project going in this area since it is more of a matter of discussion, but from that principle, comes
the idea for our first project. We are starting a discussion about how membership in Social Media Club can serve as a ‘trusted
mark’ for people to know that someone is ethical, understands social media and is committed to the advancement of the industry.
There are more and more people claiming to be ’social media experts’ while more and more of us are shunning such titles, realizing
we are merely practitioners who are learning more each day. Everyone I know is concerned with what we do about the schemers
and con-artists who are getting into social media with a ‘get rich quick’ mentality. How do we help people avoid those who
are selling the snake oil and find those businesses, service providers and people who are really doing good work? Go to the
Project Page on our Wiki and join the discussion. You should also check out this recent blog post by Kristie Wells aggregating
some of the biggest ethical issues in Social Media today.
