  Doing good do it right - Management Today 

  http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/search/article/757881/doing-good-right/

  You're keen to implement CSR, but it's a demanding exercise to establish a sound and effective policy that percolates through the entire organisation and shapes everything it does. Mark Vernon and Craig ... Mackenzie offer 20 top tips to put you on the path of righteousness. MANAGEMENT 1. Make sure the CEO gets it. If he or she doesn't, companies will struggle to pay more than lip-service to corporate social resposibility. In this respect, CSR is no different from any substantial corporate activity. For example, at telecoms company Vodafone, CSR is set as one of six board-level, strategic goals. The company's group executive committee, chaired by CEO Arun Sarin, is responsible for policy and performance. Incidentally, there is a serious economic argument to be made for CSR: it doesn't just deliver for the environment, it delivers on the bottom line too. Companies as diverse as the retailer Marks & Spencer, the telco BT, the healthcare specialist Novo Nordisk and the bank HSBC have found th   [More...] [Less...]

  The Social Bookmarking Faceoff 

  http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/social_bookmarking_faceoff.php

  Written by Alex Iskold and edited by Richard MacManus. The social bookmarking market is in a steady state with two dominant players - del.icio.us and StumbleUpon . The rest of the pack, including Yahoo ... MyWeb, appears to be substantially behind. Will they catch up? In this post we attempt to answer that question. We also take a look at how social bookmarking has evolved since del.icio.us. (even del.icio.us itself has evolved a lot!). We compare the features and approaches of the different companies, to see which has gained popularity and what has become the norm in this space. A short history of social bookmarking The current social web era started with del.icio.us and the advent of social bookmarking. The simple concept of a tag has turned our interactions with the web upside down. The idea of being able to store your bookmarks online, share them with everyone and see what others have bookmarked - triggered the sequence of events that resulted in today's rich and social web ecosyst   [More...] [Less...]

  Social Bookmarking Tools - A General Review 

  http://www.dlib.org/dlib/april05/hammond/04hammond.html

  Introduction Because, to paraphrase a pop music lyric from a certain rock and roll band of yesterday, " the Web is old, the Web is new, the Web is all, the Web is you ", it seems like we might have to ... face up to some of these stark realities [ n1 ]. With the introduction of new social software applications such as blogs, wikis, newsfeeds, social networks, and bookmarking tools (the subject of this paper), the claim that Shelley Powers makes in a Burningbird blog entry [ 1 ] seems apposite: " This is the user's web now, which means it's my web and I can make the rules. " Reinvention is revolution it brings us always back to beginnings. We are here going to remind you of hyperlinks in all their glory, sell you on the idea of bookmarking hyperlinks, point you at other folks who are doing the same, and tell you why this is a good thing. Just as long as those hyperlinks (or let's call them plain old links) are managed, tagged, commented upon, and published onto the Web, they represent a   [More...] [Less...]

  Corporate social responsibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_social_responsibility

  [ edit ] Development and analysis The debate about CSR has been said to have began in the early 20th century, amid growing concerns about large corporations and their power [1] . The ideas of charity and ... stewardship helped to shape the early thinking about CSR in the US. Ida Tarbell ’s 1904 work The History of the Standard Oil Company helped lead to the decision of the decision to break up the company on antitrust grounds. Similarly, Upton Sinclair ’s 1906 book The Jungle led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drugs Act and the Meat Inspection Act by the United States Congress . These can be seen as early attempts to mandate socially responsible corporate behavior. The term CSR itself came in to common use in the early 1970s although it was seldom abbreviated. The term stakeholder , meaning those impacted by an organization's activities, was used to describe corporate owners beyond shareholders from around 1989. [2] Many large companies now issue a corporate social responsibility repo   [More...] [Less...]

  An Open Facebook API vs Google OpenSocial - Blog Maverick 

  http://www.blogmaverick.com/2007/11/04/an-open-facebook-api-vs-google-opensocial/

  Probably about 5 months ago I had a conversation with someone at Facebook about licensing their API. The beauty of Facebook, as opposed to Myspace and other social networks is that the people on there ... are for the most part who they say they are, and Facebook does their best to dismiss those who aren't. This simple differentiation makes the membership base of Facebook far more valuable than any other social network. When you go to my Facebook profile, you get the real me. Thats not to say I answer every profile question. I don't. I'm not going to disclose everything about myself. However, the data that is available about me is the most comprehensive, self maintained database record about me on the internet or probably anywhere. Access to that information times the however many tens of millions of Facebook active users is worth a lot of money. So with this in mind, I talked to one of their VCs that I know, who referred me to someone at Facebook and we had a great conversation. I asked ab   [More...] [Less...]

  Social bookmarking - Wikipedia 

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking

  [ edit ] Introduction On a social bookmarking system or network, users store lists of Internet resources that they find useful. These lists can be accessible to the public by users of a specific network ... or website. Other users with similar interests can view the links by topic, category, tags, or even randomly. Other than web page bookmarks, services specialized to a specific subject or format — feeds, books, videos, shopping items, map locations, wineries, etc. — can be found. [ edit ] History The concept of shared online bookmarks dates back to April 1996 with the launch of itList.com. Within the next three years online bookmark services became competitive, with venture-backed companies like Backflip , Blink, [ citation needed ] Clip2 , Hotlinks , Quiver , and others entering the market. Lacking viable models for making money, most of this early generation of social bookmarking companies failed as the dot-com bubble burst. In 2005 and 2006, social bookmarking sites, such as del.i   [More...] [Less...]
