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
