While giving a webinar, Managing the Risks of Social Media , for Higher Logic , I got an unexpected question: “Why do we need a social media policy?” Of course you need a social media policy. Every social media practitioner ( Maddie, Lindy , and me to name a few) will tell you that you need one.

Their Story: I first met Jen Newmeyer, who is also the Food Bank’s social media person, at a Raleigh tweet-up last year. She’s done a great job using social media to create a very supportive community of donors and fans, so I immediately thought of them when planning the first case study for Open Community.

Lindy’s and my Twitter feeds full of all the good stuff we share, along with a new Flickr feed (check it out, you never know, we have lots of photos of our peeps from events like Buzz2010 so your smiling face might be there…!). You might be interested to note that in this updated version, we took more things away than we added.

In the midst of inexplicable tragedy, my personal definition of the social web got rocked. The American Red Cross is mentioned more than 1,000 times per day on the social web.
