While on Face­book I read that the Health Care Bill in the US passed.  I wanted to learn more about it so did a search through Google and could not find the lat­est news (this was last night).  I then went to Twit­ter and there were lots of post about this.

So a ques­tion, where are folks get­ting the infor­ma­tion that is posted on Twit­ter and Face­book before Google, Yahoo, Bling, etc. have it listed.  If it is on the TV, radio, then how does it hit in social media first before the news wires pick it up and have it posted — OR — is it all related to search?

So are we the reporters now, and if so, can we trust what is being reported?  I know / I know… but think about it.  It’s not just the top news sto­ries, it is also what is being reported for the lat­est issues with SEO, search engine updates, and so much more.

So my ques­tion, do we trust what is being reported in social media or do we trust what we even­tu­ally see in news reports through search engine searches?

I watched a pro­gram tonight that was on prior to the Acad­emy Awards pro­gram called the ‘Red Car­pet’.  It was the nor­mal ‘meet and great’ of stars.  You know… who they were with, what they were wear­ing, etc. One big thing that really stood out to me was that the inter­view­ers / reporters talked to the stars BUT asked ques­tions that had been posted on Face­book and Twit­ter — and — not one even flinched.  Wow, what a change from even last year.

So you have to know that if social media has hit the Oscar ‘red car­pet’ you best be hit­ting social media in your business!

Many con­grats to the win­ners Jeff, San­dra and Kathryn — right on!!

BTW — did you get a look at some of those dresses???

I sub­scribe to many newslet­ters to keep up to date of what is going on in many areas of the vir­tual world. One newslet­ter I received this week struck a cord with me and I wanted to share it with you.

This is from Feng Shui Truth:

There head­ing is “BUSINESS in 2009 is “Col­lab­o­ra­tive, Mind­ful and Proac­tive” ENERGY, that serves the greater good of All.”

Sounds a lot like what is going on with the newly elected Pres­i­dent, Barack Obama.

They go on to say, and I will quote:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Les­son #1: Com­pa­nies and entre­pre­neurs who build reli­able teams, “ven­dor net­works” and strate­gic alliances accel­er­ate the growth of their busi­nesses faster, bet­ter and with less effort.

Les­son #2: Com­pa­nies and entre­pre­neurs who will­ingly accept “feed­back” from their tar­get mar­ket accel­er­ate the growth of their busi­ness faster, bet­ter and with less effort.

Les­son #3: Com­pa­nies and entre­pre­neurs who “honk” at their team mem­bers, staff and ven­dors with “encour­age­ment,” accel­er­ate their per­sonal pro­duc­tiv­ity and busi­ness growth, expo­nen­tially … FAST.

Les­son #4: Com­pa­nies and entre­pre­neurs who pro­tect and edu­cate their teams’ and clients’ in chal­leng­ing times, “grow” their busi­nesses even dur­ing eco­nomic down-swings.

Les­son #5: Com­pa­nies and entre­pre­neurs who show COMPASSION and SUPPORT the com­pa­nies and peo­ple they serve, will sur­vive and thrive (like Geese) in this “new world order” of col­lab­o­ra­tive CO-CREATION.
