Part of my job at the World Bank is to help the institution engage in new media. I often speak about what social media is, why it is important etc...
The one thing I ask people to do even before considering whether they should blog or not is to listen. To spend a good chunk of time finding and listening what is being discussed online.

As I joined the Corporate Communications department, i thought that the best way to help people understand how rich this new web is was simply to show it. Right around this time, we were playing with Drupal, a solid, open-source content and community platform for different intranet pilots. I decided to spec out an aggregator that would help people understand, follow and collaborate around mentions of the organization online. Management okay-ed it - thanks Nicole - and off we went.

hi

I am Pierre-Guillaume Wielezynski. I live in Washington, DC. I work at the World Bank, in the Corporate Communications Department. My work is related to analytics, advertising and social media. This personal blog is my only new year resolution (2006) and I am doing a really poor job at maintaining it.

Personomies are digital manifestations of an individual. They combine identity (who you are), activity (what you do) and "sociality" (who you know)...more

The BuzzMonitor

The BuzzMonitor is an application I have conceived for my employer that allows to better track and understand who says what about whatever issue online. It helps you build vertical views of the web. It is so useful that we released it in open source. See it, try it, get it.

This blog does not reflect the position or opinion of my employer. But I'm working on it. No, seriously, it does not. But you knew that.
