We have been working with Facebook but want to get the biggest ROI as possible. I originally set it up as a friend’s page because that was what my internet designer and several consultants I’ve met did. So far we have 429 friends, fans of 173 and members of 33 groups. What is the best direction to go – friends, fans or members – for a business to business and business to consumer company? And why? Thanks Panel 3

How does this translate to newsrooms where objectivity and being impartial are critical to credibility? * Many Fortune 500 companies such as IBM have instituted polices on social media, which dictate what employees can and cannot do. Should newsrooms do this as well? If so, how might they be different? * How has the immediacy of Twitter in reporting breaking news impacted the journalism being done for traditional outlets such as newspapers, television and radio? * What is the most significant opportunity social media brings to traditional media in your opinion and why? * What protocols should journalists have for using tweets, facebook updates and other status updates in stories? * The recent Christian and Newsom trials saw many local reporters live-tweeting the courtroom proceedings (#cntrial). Was this an effective use of Twitter for journalistic purposes? Why or why not? Questions I sent Nicole for the journalism panel (No. 2):

Online advertising and a strong internet presence has been difficult in the past with minimal results. Do you feel that using social media in this situation would be a worthwhile approach where other areas have failed and why?
