Promote Ethical Behaviour

(back to SMC Club-wide Projects page)

This is tougher to get a project going in this area since it is more of a matter of discussion, but from that principle, comes the idea for our first project.  We are starting a discussion about how membership in Social Media Club can serve as a 'trusted mark' for people to know that someone is ethical, understands social media and is committed to the advancement of the industry.  There are more and more people claiming to be 'social media experts' while more and more of us are shunning such titles, realizing we are merely practitioners who are learning more each day.

Everyone I know is concerned with what we do about the schemers and con-artists who are getting into social media with a 'get rich quick' mentality.  How do we help people avoid those who are selling the snake oil and find those businesses, service providers and people who are really doing good work? Use the tag 'blogger+ethics' to identify other codes of ethics we can leverage and to start writing your opinions on this subject via Blogs. Then come back here and start building out a repository and a draft of the code of ethics we should adopt as best practices.
