Randy, I agree that people who fall for these scams need to be educated on internet usage. However, I also think that if companies like Intel, Cisco etc want to maintain a Social Media presence for interacting with their customer, they need to prevent their customer base from such scams, phishing attempts etc. Setting up a SM for your company is easy, but maintaining it is not so.
Another example is Cisco Blogs. Even though their blog comments are moderated by "humans", spams comments still go through. See the comment by Urlaub in Jesolo, for e.g.: http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscoit/comments/the_it_challenges_of_enterprise_2.0/ Saqib On Sat, May 15, 2010 at 11:31 PM, Randy Abrams <[email protected]> wrote: > You're looking at a pixel instead of the picture.
