I believe that others may have had an issue if their material was used without permission though. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment though; it's appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805443436253543235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492803663110811700.post-55493254563153395022010-12-14T09:37:52.463-08:002010-12-14T09:37:52.463-08:00Tom,

I can have it removed if you wish. <br />You have made some interesting points in your post regarding user generated content and we will take note of them for future reference.Paul Gallagher, MEN Mediahttp://www.menmedia.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492803663110811700.post-85878362699504830722010-12-13T02:37:13.228-08:002010-12-13T02:37:13.228-08:00Interesting to hear about the differences between ...Interesting to hear about the differences between the BBC's and MEN's approaches to user-generated content.<br /><br />I'm surprised the MEN didn't contact you first before using your picture. Standard practice (and basic good manners) is to at least ask permission before lifting content off the web.David Quinnhttp://www.davidquinn.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492803663110811700.post-48190197965698796182010-12-13T01:07:28.001-08:002010-12-13T01:07:28.001-08:00Really interesting piece.

Clearly you don't even need to express an opinion to be labelled as having one, which is a worry.John Nashhttp://www.officesupnorth.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492803663110811700.post-4380312971510133522010-12-13T00:47:56.316-08:002010-12-13T00:47:56.316-08:00There is a more concerning side - here's a bit...There is a more concerning side - here's a bit of devil's advocate.<br /><br />A journalist is not concerned with your wellbeing, they are interested only in the story (note that's not the same as the truth).<br /><br />With that in mind, each picture you post perhaps should be accompanied by a disclaimer. Or with a out and out denial for anyone to use your photos - i.e. you do not give permission for their use.David EBhttp://mmubusinessschool.posterous.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492803663110811700.post-71297948347184613212010-12-13T00:14:27.963-08:002010-12-13T00:14:27.963-08:00Great article.
I believe resolving the very real ...Great article.<br /><br />I believe resolving the very real concerns you brought up is the responsibility of both sides.<br /><br />Sending tweets that can be taken the wrong way is something that happens all day every day on Twitter, and not just when your tweet is picked up and used by large organisations. The later however can of course cause more damage, but if your tweets are to be read by a large number of followers or likely to be retweeted then double taking your chosen 140 characters can be a life saver.<br /><br />If you have a public account it is a case of living by the sword and dying by the sword. There is risk, of different levels, in every tweet you send.<br /><br />That being said, the use of Twitter as a news source by the large organisations you mention above is something they really need to get on top of. As with the BBC, a call to you before using your information is a must, and gathering (and using) that all important contextual information can not only add value to their story but also the clarity we often crave to our short shared bursts of thought and experience.Harry Baileyhttp://hjbdesign.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492803663110811700.post-47585558379564640492010-12-12T13:31:23.009-08:002010-12-12T13:31:23.009-08:00an incredibly well written article and scary to fo...an incredibly well written article and scary to follow the thought process through - Rest assured those that do know @totmac know the real story! regards @stagandhenmanc - Maybe links to P Fahy and miscontrued remarks on GMP twitter feed recently during their 24 hr twitter experiment?Mike Fergusonhttp://www.stagandhenmanchester.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
