It's finally happened
Read/Write web has a very interesting post, and one that has been a long time coming. The Scottish Teacher Parent Council has filed a report blaming Wikipedia for failing school results. It is a valid point i must say.

Social media providing answers and exposure
Social Media proves to be more and more useful every day. Not just for stalkers and paedophiles either.

For example, i recently asked my linkedin contact network if anyone has any examples of monetising widgets or applications - and within a short amount of time i received varied and generally helpful answers. Check out the threadhere
in another similar and related example, i quickly answered a question while looking around linkedin. A simple one sentence answer - and the point of this was a social media experiment that another digital marketer was conducting. coincidence? anyway, this resulted in me getting some exposure for participating - and is just another example of how social media can give you answers where and when you need them.
