22 Must Haves For Every Enterprise-wide Social Media Deployment by Sprinklr

The Enterprise Social Media Security Reality

“Almost two-thirds of companies surveyed say that social media is a significant or critical risk to their brand reputation; yet 60% of companies either never train their employees about their corporate social media policies or do so only upon hiring. Moreover, 43% of companies have less than one Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) dedicated to managing social media risk.”
Guarding the Social Gates: The Imperative for Social Media Risk Management
(Alan Webber, Altimeter, August 2012)

“Nearly two-thirds of security and risk professionals (64%) have no social media policy in place or if they do, they lack tools to sufficiently enforce and support the policy.”

(Chris McClean and Nick Hayes, Forrester Research, Inc., November 2012)

"I'm Excited to Announce Secret Boards" said Pinterest

"Secret boards give you a place for things you’re not quite ready to share yet, like a surprise party, special gift ideas, or even planning for a new baby."

Received this email a few hours ago that I find to keep as an example.

"Hi, Arnaud!
I had two thoughts driving home from the hospital with my wife, Divya. The first was, “I can’t believe I’m a Dad.” The second was, “I hope I can get our new baby, Max, out of that new car seat when we get home.”
During the first couple weeks, we started to figure out all the little things that are second nature for experienced parents: changing diapers, swaddling a wriggly infant, and doing every household task with one arm. As usual, Divya was a few steps ahead of me. When our doctor suggested we buy a humidifier she said, “Oh, I already have one!” When I was getting Max ready for his first bath, she pulled out a neat homemade bath kit, complete with a tiny towel, comb and toothbrush. I felt like I’d forgotten to read a secret New Baby Instruction Manual. In an exasperated moment, I remember asking Divya, “How did you figure all this stuff out already?!” She looked at me and and cheerfully replied, “I just follow other parents on Pinterest!”
Over the last year, there have been so many ways, big and small, that the Pinterest community has made my life better. I’m happy to say that I’m not alone. We’ve heard from teachers who use Pinterest to plan lessons, chefs who share recipes, and museums that pin their archives. We've also heard from millions of people who’ve been inspired to pick up an old hobby or try something new. It’s honestly more than we ever expected when we started Pinterest. We’re humbled to be part of such a positive, warm and creative community.
Today, we’re excited to continue this tradition with a new feature we hope will make Pinterest even better—secret boards. Secret boards give you a place for things you’re not quite ready to share yet, like a surprise party, special gift ideas, or even planning for a new baby. We’re testing out the feature by giving everyone 3 secret boards. You’ll find them at the bottom of your profile. We can’t wait to hear what you think!
On behalf of our team here at Pinterest, thanks so much for pinning, inviting your friends, and sending us ideas for how we can improve. Most of all, thanks for sharing your inspirations. With your help, we’ll make Pinterest a little better every day.
—Ben & the Pinterest Team
Happy pinning!"

And since it's not a secret anymore here are the few steps to follow for secret boards.


Step 1: On the top left of Pinterest

Step 2: Create the 1st out of 3 secret boards

Step 3: This secret board will be shared with Robert Vinet and Valery Levacher

"Happy pinning!" as they say at Pinterest and follow me on Pinterest. I have a few collaborative Pin Boards you may like or join.

The Team

Lifelong friends David and Kouros left their promising jobs at Amadeus North America and Deutsche Bank, respectively, to join forces and sayisfy their entrepreneurial drives.




Kouros and David are both avid online shoppers because of its convenience and their ability to compare prices on the products they want. They were frustrated by existing "cash back" offers, and saw an opportunity to improve the concept and save more money. This led to successfully founding MonaBar with the help of a friend and famed technology entrepreneur Tyler Mclntyre. The future is bright for this young and innovative company, and the MonaBar team is looking forward to launching in October 2012.
