Impact of 2007 SEC Rules on Online Communication

This is a video I shot during a panel featuring a colleague I call Intel’s BlogFather, Bryan Rhoads.

When moderator Brian Solis asked for a social media guidelines guru, I suggested Bryan, who has been helping Intel get started with a family of blogs (2006-2007), drafting social media guidelines and a Digital IQ course to helps educate and share best practices across the company.

This panel included: Richard Brewer-Hay of Ebay, Bryan Rhoads of Intel, Tom Foremski of Silicon Valley Watcher and ZDNet, and David Gelles of Financial Times.

The talk  showed that there is still much pioneering work going on, which means the next phase will be the settlers who implement newly sanctioned practices inside companies.

Will the SEC  someday require companies to release appropriate financial information on a timely basis over Twitter and inside Facebook?

Here are some related items form the panel:

John Cass had some great lunchtime stories up in Sonoma County during my visit to the New Comm Forum on Thursday. He’s got a cool project looking at Fortune 500 companies and their blogging efforts. I’m looking forward to learning more from his work…and his Twitter tips!

Looks like John and Chris Brogan explored some shocking territory at Web 2.0 Expo — check out this review of Web 2.0.
