Awesome move by Michael Arrington at TechCrunch to post as soon as possible about a 17 years old intern asking for computers against posts on TechCrunch.

With social software and everyone a clic away there is no way something like that would have remained secret, there aren't many secrets left, look at what happened to Tiger Woods, with no further comparison. And it's good news that it is becoming impossible to cheat and hide being dishonest. Same with businesses and products, there is no way you can hide a problem under the carpet hoping it will not go out. Kudos to TechCrunch for being upfront about it before someone reveals it and jeopardizes the entire credibility of the team and damages the brand.

Since I have been sending all my updates except @replies to my Facebook page with ping.fm and Seesmic, I have been impressed by the feedback: 6,700 or so "fans" and literally hundreds of likes and comments daily. Facebook now gives you impressions and % feedback stats per post.

Facebook now displays how many times an update or a picture has been displayed, for example 6195 people have seen in 24 hours the tweet from Bill Gates I posted.

Facebook now also gives you a % feedback like in this example out of the 6,262 impressions of my lunch yesterday (!) 0.89% of facebook users who saw it interacted with it with a comment or a like.

First time all social software leaders from Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Ning were in one room at the World Economic Forum in Davos to discuss how social software is changing society. I was really honored to moderate the social software panel and Seesmic Look displayed live reactions on Twitter.
