"Taking full advantage of the powerful aggregation technology at its core, Pages pulls all content into one large flow and allows users to filter and sort that data easily through a simple interface. Pages shows each user precisely the view of the data that maps to his or her expertise, level of technical know-how, and role within a site."
See the White Paper on this site too. -
"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. Whilst there is still a place for such propositions, particularly where calls to action can be closely aligned to the editorial or other content that is of value to the owners of that proposition, in many instances it makes sense to move away from moderation towards curation."

A number of cases touched upon in this article "illustrate that not only should organizations have policies in place regarding social media, but that organizations should engage in discussion with staff about their use. It's all very well to have a policy about not divulging patient details on staff's Facebook pages, but it's the smaller details and the grey areas that have got most people in trouble."

"In an era when social networking sites and blogs are visited by three quarters of online users, it’s only natural that the medical profession would also tap into the power of social media tools. Caroline Richardson, M.D., associate professor of family medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School, and her colleagues found that adding an interactive online community to an Internet-based walking program significantly decreased the number of participants who dropped out."
