Funnily enough I’ve noticed the term ‘Social Media Planner’ appearing more often as a job title. So some agencies are obviously starting to view it in this way.

Why would I use buzz when I use twitter? Because i only want my friends with gmail to see it? Smart move.

Buzz very quickly became a hidden folder in my gmail – I didn’t ask for it, I don’t need it.

Wave – so that really did exist – I just thought maybe I’d eaten some bad cheese.

When Google comes out with a completely new idea – and sticks “Beta” on it – I think people do give it more space. Google Wave is a good example of that: in its early forms it was pretty buggy with some obvious missing features, but pretty much all the commentary I saw all was based on the expectation that this would improve and was then trying to second-guess what Wave would be like once that had happened.

The people of Peru are amazing & maybe they are used the the lack of help, as they organise themselves really fast & really rather well.

There was quite a few other trucks heading into the flooded villages with aid gathered by themselves, friends, & local companies & groups.
The next day there were even more people, & companies doing their own thing with aid.

Its sad that there is not someone to co ordinate the efforts as it could be more efficient & I worry that some areas more accessible are getting lots of Aid & some getting none.

I am looking into getting the help of Shelterboxes, & seeing if i can make some links with the scouts in Peru & the UK, as that scouts are doing a better job that some of the Agencies!

We have been continously reporting on this matter. Despite the news are not very nice to hear, we are sure that S. will be OK. The place is very hard to reach (and the roads are cut, the river swept them away), but food is arriving by air. Although we know it’s not exactly a big dinner, she will be OK.

Keep in touch with us too, and if you can provide us any phone number in the town, we could keep track of the situation.

Hugs,
