Technology@Intel · Intel's Social Media Story - just the beginni We introduced Intel’s blog program 2 years ago this month. I’d like to use this Intel anniversary as an opportunity to reflect and look back at some of our social media efforts over the past decade. Its not possible to go into every project and program in one blog post. Nor can I properly speak to all of the hard work from our various social media teams. So, I look to others to help fill in those gaps, but here’s a high-level overview of just some of the activities to date at Intel.

Using Social Media We are committed to aggressive journalism in all its forms, including in the field of computer-assisted reporting, but we draw the line at illegal behaviour.

IBM In the spring of 2005, IBMers used a wiki to create a set of guidelines for all IBMers who wanted to blog. These guidelines aimed to provide helpful, practical advice to protect both IBM bloggers and IBM. In 2008 and again in 2010 IBM turned to employees to re-examine our guidelines in light of ever-evolving technologies and online social tools to ensure they remain current to the needs of employees and the company. These efforts have broadened the scope of the existing guidelines to include all forms of social computing. Below are the current and official "IBM Social Computing Guidelines," which we review periodically so that they may evolve to reflect emerging technologies and online social tools.

It is not going to change the way you are doing business. As HubSpot’s VP of Marketing Mike Volpe explained in a recent webinar , social media needs to be part of a comprehensive inbound marketing strategy in order to yield visible results.

Fortune 500 Series: How Intel is listening, engaging with its co Simply said, Intel is doing great stuff. Much like the other companies I have profiled in this series (Cisco, Office Max, Texas Instruments and Newell Rubbermaid), this Fortune 500 company has implemented significant social business programs ranging from integrated marketing to internal communications, and even engaging with its technical community. I spoke with Kari Aakre, Intel's director of consumer and social media inside the company's Global Communications Group. She has a huge responsibility, from corporate branding and product awareness, all leveraging social media.

Why Ideals are the New Business Models - Umair Haque by Umair Haque | 5:35 PM March 13, 2009 Take your pick: newspapers, autos, mobile, solar — across the zombieconomy, boardrooms are sweaty-browed with the task of business model redesign. It’s the worst downturn for the better part of a century: business model redesign — lower costs, greater efficiency, choosing the most profitable customers and revenue streams — should be every boardroom’s first priority, right? Nothing could be more wrong. In fact, today’s market leaders, from Google, to Apple, to Nintendo, are revolutionary for different reason altogether.

Really.: T It’s rare that any corporate policy makes for a good read, but trust me when I tell you that Intel’s new Social Media Guidelines are barn-burning fare. Here’s why: Standard business model: No matter how many people work at a company, only a select few employees are allowed to speak to the public.
