Comments on: Can Radian6 be used to prevent suicides and murders? http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/2009/09/can-radian6-be-used-to-prevent-suicides-and-murders/ Social Media & Word of Mouth Marketing in the Asia Pacific Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:36:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Jonathan Nguyen http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/2009/09/can-radian6-be-used-to-prevent-suicides-and-murders/comment-page-1/#comment-299 Jonathan Nguyen Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:06:32 +0000 http://www.asiadigitalmap.com/?p=521#comment-299 Vijay, Derek, Benedict and Brian - There's alot of potential here and it would be great for an organisation to get on board. In fairness, Radian6 commented on my original posting of this over on the Howorth blog and were keen to explore something if we could put something together with a not for profit. See their response here: http://www.howorth.com.au/index.php/2009/09/radian6-prevent-suicides-murders/ Vijay is right and there definitely needs to be an extra layer of smarts built on top of keyword search to make the hits more relevant. As you all know what happens in any campaign often the killer is not to few, but too many results.

Imagine it might also involve a company like Radian6 partnering up with a non-profit organisation, such as the Suicide Hotline or National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (a U.S. non-profit) to provide the service and a bit of training.

I was actually just reading this article about how a Facebook page helped a family locate their missing son. http://bit.ly/Lc2iH The key is having existing organizations (law enforcement, hotline centers) see where they can integrate social media into their current process and allocate resource to support it.

The advantage of course is that companies like Radian6 provide a highly effective interface to display the information. Additionally I think you could use Radian6 technology in crime fighting i.e. pedophillia.

You'd still need a stage of human analysis before calling in the doc/cops as twitter is full of "i could kill my (insert favorite service provider here) or as i read a student's tweet today--"i am going to kill my TQM prof"! Ogilvy PR should tie up with a city council and launch it as a social social initiative. Interesting but doable concept.
