The best social media campaigns in communities and social media often arise out of Rituals (Christmas, Football Grand Finals) or Rites of Passage (Weddings, Births). Random Acts of Kindness taps into both, and as November 13th to 20th is World Kindness Week I expect to see social media campaigns based around Random Acts of Kindness, so thought I would highlight a few.

Where do our teenagers learn it is fine to trash someone mourning the death of their father? From the media. #StopTheMedia #TrollMedia Compare these two situations: A UK Teen is arrested for making comments about an Olympian diver’s (Tom Daly) father’s death on Twitter and a lauded Australian Radio Host is lauded for making comments in front of Uni students about our Prime Minister’s father’s death.

Social media tells you exactly what your customers think, no more guessing games, no more marketing evaluations, no more feedback cards. The unloved restaurant can now know exactly why the restaurant next door is full, and theirs is empty, but only if they want to know.

Corporate Karma is immediate & irrevocable. Transparency & accountability arent just nice to haves they are part of every day reality. I will let this poor mother speak for herself. News-gathering in its traditional form is finished. These dark moments will continue to be made public as transparency becomes the norm. Shame on you Channel Seven! Via @trevorlong

Social Media sites apparently are running AI software that listens to discussions and then can flag the discussion for monitoring. Is this a good or a bad thing? Facebook have caught one predator already. I remember a dozen years ago, a guy in Japan putting up a status update that he was going on a spree kill – and he did. What would you prefer? Civil Rights or Monitoring?

Now Brumbys are using Facebook to apologise and ask for leniency and the franchisees are using it to explain and fight back.
