As the military begins its eighth year of the war on terror, much of the focus has been on the inability to fully support the growing number of troops diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury.

Now Obama?s administration wants to do the same for the green economy with the smart grid?a system of interlocking technologies that could transform the way we use electricity. By receiving real-time data on their energy use, consumers could save big on their power bills by running appliances when electricity is cheapest, rather than during peak demand periods when it?s most expensive.

Vague calls to action lead to waves of irrelevant content submitted by audiences who have taken time, effort, and in some instances spent money to do so - only for that content to, in most instances, be ignored. Online communities require moderation to keep discussions on the right side of the law. Breaking stories of importance, or topics that capture the imagination, lead to floods of content that quickly overwhelm processes and technical platforms. In all these situations, which will be familiar to anyone who has ever worked at the social media collision point between audiences and organisations, very little of value is extracted from what can be a costly exercise, primarily because most "social platforms" have been built to pull in audiences and allow moderators to police user activity.</span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="/stories/374509">3.8 average</a> - <a href="/stories/374509">9 Reviews »</a> - <a href="http://newstrust.net/stories/374509">Review It</a>        <a href="http://newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> Internet Social Networks The Story of 'Operation Orchard': How Israel Destroyed Syria's Al Kibar Nuclear Reactor - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:27:40 -0800 http://newstrust.net/stories/375136 http://newstrust.net/stories/375136 <span><a href="/sources/der_spiegel">Der Spiegel</a> - Nov. 04 - </span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="/stories/375136">4.4 average</a> (not enough reviews) - <a href="/stories/375136">See Review »</a> - <a href="http://newstrust.net/stories/375136">Review It</a>        <a href="http://newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> Nuclear Weapons Syria Israel Technology Privacy Out to lunch Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 http://newstrust.net/stories/366895 http://newstrust.net/stories/366895 <span><a href="/sources/new_yorker">New Yorker</a> - By Nick Paumgarten - Nov. 03 (Opinion) - The week before last, two Northwest pilots overshot Minneapolis, their destination, by a hundred and fifty miles, apparently oblivious of their instruments and their internal clocks, as well as of a barrage of increasingly desperate radio calls from air-traffic control.
