This week I decided to take a different approach with the Social Media Moment. Up to this point the posts I showcased have been funny moments. This week I decided to take a plurk from Anna Bourland that I thought had some really good subject matter and some solid feedback from other Plurk users. Anna discusses an article that she read offline about Social Media and how businesses should monitor it’s use.

Social media involvement has to be monitored to make sure your company goals are the focus.

I think this was a great post, and though ‘Audrey the Quotable’ again was in the running for this plurk. I wanted to go in a different direction this week. This weeks Social Media Moment has a great topic and I think any added feedback or thoughts you would like to share on this plurk would add to it’s value.

Finally, I remind you that you can alway feel free to contact me on Plurk or Twitter and let me know about something funny or interesting that you feel should be featured. I can only see so much, other users can be a great outside set of eyes.

So I’ve got to be honest with this one, this week did not have a slew of tweets or plurks to choose from.  Plurk was filled with mainly pointless banter and the occasional blog push, and with Twitter imploding from the lack of replies you didn’t get a lot of the usual back and forth or amusing comments.  This weeks selection comes from Audrey Seiberling, and though the follow up comments don’t have much strength the initial plurk is golden.

As I mentioned in last weeks Social Media Moment, this is going to be a weekly feature on the blog and since I can’t obviously be on Twitter and Plurk 24/7 (though I wish I could) feel free to send me submissions.  You can direct message me on Twitter or shoot me a private plurk

So I’ve decided to start a new feature on my blog highlighting some of the funniest, most interesting, or most influential posts I find on the various social sites I participate in.  So much goes on with some of these sites that it is easy to miss funny posts or happenings so I am taking this opportunity to share some of my favorites with the masses.  Each week I will note throughout my day various topics or post that catch my interest and on Friday morning I will pick my favorite from the collection.

This week I chose a Plurk thread that I started, not because it is my own, but because of one of the responses in it.  The post started when I unintentionally came up with an incredibly amusing nerdy pick up line while talking with a colleague.  The follow up comment from Melanie Nathan was just icing on the cake.

If I could add people you would be in my favorites, be de.licio.us, and I’d digg you.
