 Share This- TomsTechBlog.com - The Dominos Of Social Media
 Apr 21, 11:57am  (1 review) internet, pr, social-media http://www.tomstechblog.com/post/The-Dom...- To answer that I have to ask a question: How do we learn from each other in life? My understanding is that we learn by watching someone do something and then watching the result it produces. From that we can decide whether we want to (A) emulate those people or (B) do the exact opposite.
So lets breaks this down. Dominos had a crisis situation. They responded with Social Media outreaches. And then what happened?
The answer is that it seems to have been completely ineffective. In fact, the true irony is that Social Media did more damage than good in this case. ReadWriteWeb and USA Today wrote stories that drew people to the offending video which is exactly what Dominos doesn't want happening.

- On that last issue, lawyers, Wall Street types and compensation consultants agree with the president. But from their point of view, the "fundamental value" in question here is the sanctity of contracts.
That may strike many people as a bit of convenient legalese, but maybe there is something to it. If you think this economy is a mess now, imagine what it would look like if the business community started to worry that the government would start abrogating contracts left and right.

- The purpose of this website is to warn and prevent web authors (bloggers, webmasters) to abandon their domain even if their website is somehow deprecated, because doing so actually results in pertubating the Internet ecosystem. Indeed, by not renewing the domain, a so called domainer will most probably catch it and set up a parking page in place of the old website.

- Let's put aside arguments about Rush Limbaugh for the time being and recognize that he's undeniably right about this:
Were the liberals out there hoping Bush succeeded or were they out there trying to destroy him before he was even inaugurated?
I think we all know the answer to that -- but here's some hard proof. Reader jimboster passes along a 2006 poll (.pdf) that proves the point. Check out question 10 -- and pay particular attention to how the answers break down by party:

- President Obama's kicking off his health care reform today in the worst possible way: with a mischaracterization of data.
"The cost of health care now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds," according to remarks prepared for the president to open his White House forum on health care reform. The problem: That claim, based on a 2001 survey, is simply unsupportable.
The figure comes from a 2005 Harvard University study saying that 54 percent of bankruptcies in 2001 were caused by health expenses. We reviewed it internally and knocked it down at the time; an academic reviewer did the same in 2006. Recalculating Harvard's own data, he came up with a far lower figure - 17 percent.
