I received an email from someone Group SPR alerting me to some graphics that were created at Disrupt and sponsored by, apparently, GE. The email declared that I was “allowed” to republish this story if I include the link back to the site.
The graphics are the story, there is no text, and each graphic includes GE’s logo and the artist who created the panel, along with their Twitter handle. I have a problem being told what I am allowed to do when the PR flack is the one sending me unsolicited email, just like I have a problem with PR people sending me embargoed stories unsolicited. In the words of Rambo, “you asked me I didn’t ask you”.
Here’s one of the graphic, I’m not linking back to the site and if SPR or GE wants me to take this down then I will… after they send me a takedown notice.
PS- I’m not even sure what the graphics are trying to communicate or why anyone who wasn’t there (e.g. yours truly) would even care.

Along the way to becoming a bona fide blogger I started to understand the implications of user generated content. At the time I was a venture capitalist for SAP, the enterprise software company, and in my travels in the enterprise software market it became evident that blogging would be a powerful communication channel for enterprises to use, what we now call social media, and a powerful information collection mechanism for bottom up corporate intelligence. Combined with search technology, social networking software, and wikis, I was witnessing the inception of an entirely new generation of knowledge management software.
I am currently the VP Product Marketing for Get Satisfaction, the simple and effective way to build online communities that enable productive conversations between companies and their customers. Over 50,000 companies use Get Satisfaction to create a social support experience, build better products, realize SEO benefits, and take advantage of brand loyalty behaviors that results in strong word of mouth marketing experiences in the market.
