PRobecast #75: Identity, Web 2.0 and the About Us Page
October 11th, 2008 by Todd Van Hoosear
Welcome to episode #75 of PRobecast, Topaz Partners’ occasionally weekly podcast exploring the latest developments in the world of social media and public relations! Todd Van Hoosear is joined by Wendie Larkin, Glen Zimmerman, Tim Allik, Ann Dalrymple, Joanna DiTrapano, Katelyn D'Eramo and Malinda Singh to chat about:
1. It’s the economy, stupid! The major indices were hurting this week. Will Web 2.0 save us?
2. Did you Tweet about the debate? Is mixing politics, business and technology a good idea? Do Democrats own the social media space? Are new online polls accurate because of this?
3. Does your entire online social network know your birthday? Your pets’ name? Your mother’s maiden name? They might be able to assume your identity!
4. Does citizen journalism work? It didn’t for Apple.
5. Should the About Us page be banned?
6. What's next for Todd?

Loved this episode, but miss Todd and Rob’s guitar already.
Tim, it was usually Stern fans who pranked mainstream media to get his name out, not the staff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP8TwjRMdS0. Babba Booey to you all!
