Things that will make you think and say "huh"

I was looking around, surfing the net and was wandering indiscriminately around based on the various links that are emailed to me.  I guard my email address in such a way that I have everything organized, categorized.  It is important that when I subscribe to a site, that it does something for me.  Personally.  Not my husband, nor my family nor my employer.  It is my time.  Yes, it makes me a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, employee when I do so.  

What I see and what I post are random and make me mentally say "huh".  Not loudly as an acclamation "HUH!!" nor drawn out with puzzlement as in "huH??"  Just a small registration, like a blip, I mentally register with a "huh".  As in, interesting, let me read more.

You would think that as a person you have to be guarded and wary of giving too much of yourself away, to be taken unawares and exposed to danger, inconvenience, unwarranted attention, unsolicited retention.  

Imagine being a company.  Wide open to the opinions of many, anonymously by others.  How do you or how can you defend yourself against bad press, bad publicity?  I guess you create warm and fuzzy or hip and jazzy advertisements to catch the audience off guard, almost to believe more than "huh" to a "yeah".  That's good marketing.  Or is it good reputation?  

Information sits out there if you are a company, ready to be snapped up and shared on blogs, social media tweets, shares, posts, pins, grams, tumbls, reddits, quora'd, opinion polls, surveys.

It is backwards in a way.  In the way that companies are a name or a nickname brand.   It is the tag, umbrella, building, stock exchange ticker, associated by a price, a service, a product, a name.  

The name is a logo, a flag, a banner, a website, a name all bundled together as an identity.

Who are the company accountable to?  

* its leadership
* its personnel
* its shareholders

The reality, sadly, is that is not the real world order:: it looks more like:

**REPUTATION**
* its brand | offering | price 
* its leadership
* its shareholders
* its personnel

Yeah I said REPUTATION was the most critical cherry on top of the proverbial cake.  The ingredients are all mixed together:  brand+offering+price+leadership+shareholders+per-sonnel
