Tom Murphy at Microsoft Ireland made the point a while back that SEO should be the first call for an online PR strategy. From a social media perspective, Wikipedia falls into this category for two reasons. Firstly it is an editable resource available to anyone and with big implications for reputation,. Secondly it helps with organic SEO. Two good reasons not to ignore it. I was talking to someone from BNFL's corporate comms team last week and asked if anyone checked their Wikipedia entry? She said no. I reckoned it'd be in the top 10 Google results... well try no 2!! Thanks for the plug, Sherrilynne.
